in nearby sensitive areas is included in
this alternative.
(D) Alternative 4, the BLM Preferred
Alternative, is the result of comments
received on the Draft SEIS. This
alternative expands the core area
slightly as compared to Alternatives 2
and 3, and delineates a potential
development area around the core.
Similar to Alternatives 2 and 3 the core
area is broken into five development
areas. The alternative also analyzes
spatial phasing of development and
applies Operator offered mitigation
measures including Federal suspended
leases and areas of no surface
occupancy on areas outside the core of
the PAPA. Adaptive management and a
compensatory mitigation fund are also
important elements of this alternative.
Additional air quality mitigation is also
included to further reduce impacts.
(E) Alternative 5 describes
development of the full Operator
proposed number of new wells (4,399)
under conditions similar to the 2000
PAPA ROD, and without winter access
in restricted wildlife habitats.
James K. Murkin,
Acting Associate State Director.

Mexico OCS.
SUMMARY: Minerals Management Service
(MMS), in accordance with Federal
Regulations that implement the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA),
announces the availability of NEPArelated Site-Specific Environmental
Assessments (SEA) and Findings of No
Significant Impact (FONSI), prepared by
MMS for the following oil and gas

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Public Information Unit, Information

by calling 1–800–200–GULF.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
