based on any new information regarding
potential impacts and issues that were
not available at the time the Alaska

multiple-sale EIS analyzed the effects of
three lease sales considering resource

development activities, and impactproducing factors for each of the
proposed Beaufort Sea Planning Area

multiple-sale EIS. The FONNSI reflects
the MMS determination that a
supplemental EIS is not required.
