The Coast Guard notified the Department of State of these determinations pursuant to 46 U.S.C. 70110(c). The United States notified the Union of the Comoros of this determination in October 2010 and the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire in November 2010, and identified steps necessary to improve the antiterrorism measures in place at their respective ports, as required by 46 U.S.C. 70109. Neither of these countries has offered a response to our communications on these matters. To date, the United States cannot confirm that the identified deficiencies have been corrected. Accordingly, effective June 10, 2011, the Coast Guard will impose the following conditions of entry on vessels that visited ports in the Union of the Comoros and/or the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire during their last five port calls. Vessels must: • Implement measures per the ship’s security plan equivalent to Security Level 2 while in a port in the Union of the Comoros or the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire. As defined in the ISPS Code and incorporated herein, ‘‘Security Level 2’’ refers to the ‘‘level for which appropriate additional protective security measures shall be maintained for a period of time as a result of heightened risk of a security incident.’’ • Ensure that each access point to the ship is guarded and that the guards have total visibility of the exterior (both landside and waterside) of the vessel while the vessel is in ports in the Union of the Comoros or the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire. • Guards may be provided by the ship’s crew; however, additional crewmembers should be placed on the ship if necessary to ensure that limits on maximum hours of work are not exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest are met, or provided by outside security forces approved by the ship’s master and Company Security Officer. As defined in the ISPS Code and incorporated herein, ‘‘Company Security Officer’’ refers to the ‘‘person designated by the Company for ensuring that a ship security assessment is carried out; that a ship security plan is developed, submitted for approval, and thereafter implemented and maintained and for liaison with port facility security officers and the ship security officer.’’ • Attempt to execute a Declaration of Security while in a port in the Union of the Comoros or the Republic of Cote d’Ivoire; VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:25 May 26, 2011 Jkt 223001 • Log all security actions in the ship’s log; and • Report actions taken to the cognizant Coast Guard Captain of the Port prior to arrival into U.S. waters. In addition, based on the findings of the Coast Guard boarding or examination, vessels may be required to ensure that each access point to the ship is guarded by armed, private security guards and that they have total visibility of the exterior (both landside and waterside) of the vessel while in U.S. ports. The number and position of the guards has to be acceptable to the cognizant Coast Guard Captain of the Port prior to the vessel’s arrival. With this notice, the current list of countries not maintaining effective antiterrorism measures is as follows: Cambodia, Cameroon, Comoros, Republic of the Congo, Cote d’Ivoire, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia, Iran, Liberia, Madagascar, Sao Tome and Principe, Syria, TimorLeste, and Venezuela.

ACTION: Notice of availability of a Revised Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) and public hearings. AGENCY: BOEMRE announces the availability of a Revised Draft SEIS, OCS Oil and Gas Lease Sale 193, Chukchi Sea, Alaska (OCS EIS/EA BOEMRE 2010–034) for public review and comment, as well as the date, location, and time for public hearings. BOEMRE prepared this Revised Draft SEIS pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations that implement the procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and the July 21, 2010, remand order issued by the United States District Court for the District of Alaska. The Revised Draft SEIS augments the analysis of the Final EIS, Oil and Gas Lease Sale 193, Chukchi Sea Planning Area (OCS EIS/ EA MMS 2007–026). jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:25 May 26, 2011 Jkt 223001 Ms. Sharon Warren or Mr. Mike Routhier, BOEMRE, Alaska OCS Region, 3801 Centerpoint Drive, Suite 500, Anchorage, Alaska 99503–5820. You may also contact Ms. Warren or Mr. Routhier by telephone at 907–334–5200. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In May 2007, BOEMRE (formerly Minerals Management Service) published the Final EIS for Oil and Gas Lease Sale 193, Chukchi Sea (OCS EISIEA MMS 2007–0026) that evaluated the potential effects of the proposed sale and three alternatives: A no action alternative and two alternatives that incorporate deferral areas of varying size along the coastward edge of the proposed sale area. On January 31, 2008, a lawsuit challenging Oil and Gas Lease Sale 193, Chukchi Sea alleging violations pursuant to NEPA and the Endangered Species Act was filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska [Native Village of Point Hope et al., v. Salazar, No. 1:08-cv-00004–RRB (D. Alaska)]. The sale was conducted in February 2008. BOEMRE received high bids totaling approximately $2.6 billion and 487 leases were issued. In July 2010, the District Court remanded the matter for further NEPA analysis in accordance with its order. The District Court amended this order in August 2010. The District Court directed BOEMRE to address three concerns: (1) Analyze the environmental impact of natural gas development; (2) determine whether missing information identified by BOEMRE in the Final EIS for Chukchi Sea Lease Sale 193 was essential or relevant under 40 CFR 1502.22; and (3) determine whether the cost of obtaining the missing information was exorbitant, or the means of doing so unknown. BOEMRE completed a Draft SEIS addressing each of these concerns, published the Draft SEIS for public comment on October 15, 2010, and provided a 45-day comment period. BOEMRE received over 150,000 comments on the Draft SEIS. Citing the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, many commenters requested an analysis that takes into account the possibility of a blowout and oil spill during exploration. After reviewing those comments, BOEMRE has determined that it is appropriate to provide analysis of a very large oil spill (VLOS) from a hypothetical exploration well blowout. The VLOS analysis is presented in the Revised Draft SEIS along with the analysis of those issues on remand. The Final Supplemental EIS will provide the Secretary with sufficient FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 information and analyses to make an informed decision on whether to affirm, modify, or cancel Oil and Gas Lease Sale 193, Chukchi Sea.
