DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Notice of Availability of an
Environmental Assessment and Finding
of No Significant Impact.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Minerals Management
Service (MMS) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for Shell
Offshore, Inc’s. (SOI) proposed seismic
surveys in the Beaufort Sea Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) in 2007. The
EA concludes that with required
mitigation no significant adverse effects
(40 CFR 1508.27) on the quality of the
human environment would occur.
Therefore MMS issued a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI). Based on
the FONSI, MMS issued to SOI the
Geological and Geophysical (G&G)
Permit 2007–04, which contained
mitigation measures to ensure that the
Beaufort Sea’s fish, wildlife, and Alaska
Native subsistence resources would not
be adversely impacted.

Survey—2007
MMS
prepares SEAs and FONSIs for
proposals that relate to exploration for
and the development/production of oil
and gas resources on the Gulf of Mexico
OCS. These SEAs examine the potential
environmental effects of activities
described in the proposals and present
MMS conclusions regarding the
significance of those effects.
Environmental Assessments are used as
a basis for determining whether or not
approval of the proposals constitutes
major Federal actions that significantly
affect the quality of the human
environment in the sense of NEPA
Section 102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared
in those instances where MMS finds
that approval will not result in
significant effects on the quality of the
human environment. The FONSI briefly
presents the basis for that finding and
includes a summary or copy of the SEA.
This notice constitutes the public
notice of availability of environmental
documents required under the NEPA
Regulations.
This listing includes all proposals for
which the Gulf of Mexico OCS Region
prepared a FONSI in the period
subsequent to publication of the
preceding notice.
