Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 27, 2007 / Notices
based on any new information regarding
potential impacts and issues that were
not available at the time the Multisale
EIS was prepared.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Dennis Chew, Minerals Management
Service, Gulf of Mexico OCS Region,
1201 Elmwood Park Boulevard, MS
5410, New Orleans, Louisiana 70123–
2394. You may also contact Mr. Chew
by telephone at (504) 736–2793.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In April
2007, the MMS published a Multisale
EIS that addressed 11 proposed Federal
actions that would offer for lease areas
on the GOM OCS that may contain
economically recoverable oil and gas
resources. Federal regulations allow for
several related or similar proposals to be
analyzed in one EIS (40 CFR 1502.4).
Since each proposed lease sale and its
projected activities are very similar each
year for each planning area, a single EIS
was prepared for the 11 Western
Planning Area (WPA) and CPA lease
sales scheduled in the proposed OCS
Oil and Gas Leasing Program: 2007–
2012 (5-Year Program). The Multisale
EIS addressed WPA Lease Sale 204 in
2007, Sale 207 in 2008, Sale 210 in
2009, Sale 215 in 2010, and Sale 218 in
2011; and CPA Lease Sale 205 in 2007,
Sale 206 in 2008, Sale 208 in 2009, Sale
213 in 2010, Sale 216 in 2011, and Sale
222 in 2012. Although the Multisale EIS
addresses 11 proposed lease sales, at the
completion of the EIS process, a Record
of Decision will be published in July
2007 for only proposed WPA Lease Sale
204 and proposed CPA Lease Sale 205.
Prior to each of the nine subsequent
proposed lease sales, including Lease
Sale 206, an additional NEPA review
(an EA) will be conducted to address
any new information relevant to that
proposed lease sale. After completion of
the EA, MMS will determine whether to
prepare a Finding of No New Significant
Impact (FONNSI) or a Supplemental
EIS. The MMS prepares a Consistency
Determination (CD) to determine
whether the lease sale is consistent with
each affected state’s federally-approved
coastal zone management program.
Finally, the MMS will solicit comments
via the Proposed Notice of Sale (PNOS)
from the governors of the affected states
on the size, timing, and location of the
lease sale. The tentative schedule for the
prelease decision process for Lease Sale
206 is as follows: EA/FONNSI or
Supplemental EIS decision, October
2007; CDs sent to affected states,
October 2007; PNOS sent to governors
of the affected states, October 2007;
Final Notice of Sale published in the
Federal Register, February 2008; and
Lease Sale 206, March 2008.
