Environmental Impact Statement
We will be the lead Federal agency in
the preparation of an EIS that will
satisfy the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; (42
U.S.C. 4321, et seq.). USACE and FERC
will serve as cooperating agencies
during the preparation of the EIS. With
this NOI, we ask other Federal, State,
and local agencies with jurisdiction
and/or special expertise with respect to
environmental issues, in addition to
those agencies that have already agreed
to serve as cooperating agencies (as
noted above), to formally cooperate with
us in the preparation of the EIS.
Agencies that would like to request
cooperating agency status on the EIS
should follow the instructions for filing
comments provided under the
Addresses section of this NOI.
The EIS will consider the proposed
action (i.e., the issuance of a Section
10(a)(1)(B) permit under the Act, as
supported by an HCP), no action (no
HCP/no Section 10 permit), and a
reasonable range of alternatives that
accomplish the purpose and need of the
proposal. A detailed description of the
proposed action and alternatives will be
included in the EIS. The alternatives to
be considered for analysis in the EIS
may include, but not be limited to,
modified lists of covered species, land
coverage areas, and activities coverage.
The EIS will also identify potentially
significant impacts on biological

quality, water resources, economics, and
other environmental/historical
resources that may occur directly or
indirectly as a result of implementing
the proposed action or any of the
alternatives. Various strategies for
avoiding, minimizing, and mitigating
the impacts of incidental take may also
be considered.
Environmental review of the EIS will
be conducted in accordance with the
requirements of NEPA, its implementing
regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508),
other applicable regulations, and our
procedures for compliance with those
regulations. We furnish this notice in
accordance with 40 CFR 1501.7 and
1508.22 to obtain suggestions and
information from other agencies and the
public on the scope of issues and
alternatives they believe need to be
addressed in the EIS. The primary
purpose of the scoping process is to
identify important issues raised by the
public related to the proposed action.
Written comments from interested
parties are invited to ensure that the full
range of issues related to the proposed
permit application is identified.
Comments will only be accepted in
written form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart P,
Sulphur Operations.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0086.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801, et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) to preserve, protect, and
develop sulphur resources on the OCS;
make such resources available to meet
the Nation’s energy needs as rapidly as
possible; balance orderly energy
resources development with protection
of the human, marine, and coastal
environments; ensure the public a fair
and equitable return on the resources
offshore; and preserve and maintain free
enterprise competition. Section 5(a) of
the OCS Lands Act requires the
Secretary to prescribe rules and
regulations ‘‘to provide for the
prevention of waste, and conservation of
the natural resources of the Outer
Continental Shelf, and the protection of
correlative rights therein’’ and to
include provisions ‘‘for the prompt and
efficient exploration and development
of a lease area.’’ These authorities and
PO 00000

responsibilities are among those
delegated to MMS under which we
issue regulations to ensure that
operations in the OCS will meet
statutory requirements; provide for
safety and protection of the
environment; and result in diligent
exploration, development, and
production of OCS leases. This
information collection request addresses
the regulations at 30 CFR Part 250,
Subpart P, Sulphur Operations, and the
associated supplementary notices to
lessees and operators intended to
provide clarification, description, or
explanation of these regulations.
The MMS uses the information
collected to ascertain the condition of
drilling sites for the purpose of
preventing hazards inherent in drilling
and production operations and to
evaluate the adequacy of equipment
and/or procedures to be used during the
conduct of drilling, well-completion,
well-workover, and production
operations. For example, MMS uses the
information to:
• Ascertain that a discovered sulphur
deposit can be classified as capable of
production in paying quantities.
• Ensure accurate and complete
measurement of production to
determine the amount of sulphur
royalty payments due the United States;
and that the sale locations are secure,
production has been measured
accurately, and appropriate follow-up
actions are initiated.
• Ensure that the drilling unit is fit
for the intended purpose.
• Review expected oceanographic
and meteorological conditions to ensure
the integrity of the drilling unit (this
information is submitted only if it is not
otherwise available).
• Review hazard survey data to
ensure that the lessee will not encounter
geological conditions that present a
hazard to operations.
• Ensure the adequacy and safety of
firefighting plans.
• Ensure the adequacy of casing for
anticipated conditions.
• Review log entries of crew meetings
to verify that crew members are
properly trained.
• Review drilling, well-completion,
and well-workover diagrams and
procedures to ensure the safety of the
proposed drilling, well-completion, and
well-workover operations.
• Review production operation
procedures to ensure the safety of the
proposed production operations.
• Monitor environmental data during
operations in offshore areas where such
data are not already available to provide
a valuable source of information to
evaluate the performance of drilling rigs
