implement the National Environmental

availability of NEPA-related SiteSpecific Environmental Assessments
(SEA) and Findings of No Significant
Impact (FONSI), prepared by BOEMRE
for the following oil-, gas-, and mineralrelated activities proposed on the Gulf
of Mexico.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Public Information Unit, Information

Elmwood Park Boulevard, Room 250,
New Orleans, Louisiana 70123–2394, or
by calling 1–800–200–GULF.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEMRE
prepares SEAs and FONSIs for
proposals that relate to exploration,
development, production, and transport
of oil, gas, and mineral resources on the
Federal OCS. These SEAs examine the
potential environmental effects of
activities described in the proposals and
present BOEMRE conclusions regarding
the significance of those effects.
Environmental Assessments are used as
a basis for determining whether or not
approval of the proposals constitutes a
major Federal action that significantly
affects the quality of the human
environment in accordance with NEPA
Section 102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared
in those instances where BOEMRE 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.

SEIS also updates the environmental
and socioeconomic analyses for the CPA
Lease Sale 216/222 in the GOM OCS Oil
and Gas Lease Sales: 2009–2012; CPA
Sales 208, 213, 216, and 222; WPA Sales
210, 215, and 218; Final Supplemental
EIS (OCS EIS/EA MMS 2008–041)
(2009–2012 SEIS), completed in
September 2008.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEMRE
developed the Draft SEIS for CPA Lease
Sale 216/222 to consider new
information made available since
completion of the Multisale EIS and
2009–2012 SEIS, including information
concerning the Deepwater Horizon
event and spill and new regulatory
requirements. This Draft SEIS provides
updates on the baseline conditions and
potential environmental effects of oil
and natural gas leasing, exploration,
development, and production in the
CPA. BOEMRE conducted an extensive
search for new information from
scientific journals; interviews with
personnel from academic institutions;
Federal, State, and local agencies; and
various other sources. BOEMRE has
reexamined potential impacts of routine
activities and accidental events,
including a possible large-scale event,
associated with the proposed CPA lease
sale. BOEMRE has also re-analyzed the
proposed lease sale’s incremental
contribution to the cumulative impacts
on environmental and socioeconomic
resources. Like the Multisale EIS and
the 2009–2012 SEIS, the oil and gas
resource estimates and scenario
information for this Draft SEIS are
presented as a range that would
encompass the resources and activities
estimated for this proposed lease sale.

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement
Environmental Documents Prepared for Proposed Oil, Gas, and
Mineral Operations by the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
Region
AGENCY: The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and
Enforcement, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of the availability of environmental documents prepared
for OCS mineral proposals by the Gulf of Mexico OCS Region.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and
Enforcement (BOEMRE), in accordance with Federal Regulations that
[[Page 38674]]
implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), announces the
availability of NEPA-related Site-Specific Environmental Assessments
(SEA) and Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSI), prepared by BOEMRE
for the following oil-, gas-, and mineral-related activities proposed
on the Gulf of Mexico.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Public Information Unit, Information
Services Section at the number below. Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management, Regulation and Enforcement, Gulf of Mexico OCS Region,
Attention: Public Information Office (MS 5034), 1201 Elmwood Park
Boulevard, Room 250, New Orleans, Louisiana 70123-2394, or by calling
1-800-200-GULF.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEMRE prepares SEAs and FONSIs for
proposals that relate to exploration, development, production, and
transport of oil, gas, and mineral resources on the Federal OCS. These
SEAs examine the potential environmental effects of activities
described in the proposals and present BOEMRE conclusions regarding the
significance of those effects. Environmental Assessments are used as a
basis for determining whether or not approval of the proposals
constitutes a major Federal action that significantly affects the
quality of the human environment in accordance with NEPA Section
102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared in those instances where BOEMRE 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.
