ACTION: Notice to extend post-sale
evaluation period.
AGENCY:
This notice extends through
October 18, 2012, the post-sale
evaluation period for Consolidated
Central Gulf of Mexico Planning Area
Lease Sale 216/222. BOEM will
complete the evaluation process for all
bids received in this sale by October 18,
2012. This action is necessary due to the
temporary closure of the BOEM
Regional Office building in New Orleans
and other effects of the recent hurricane
impacting the region.
DATES: The post-sale evaluation period
for this sale will conclude on October
18, 2012.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
connection with the Consolidated
Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 216/
222, held June 20, 2012, BOEM received
593 bids on 454 tracts. On July 10, 2012,

evaluation process of bids for the
remaining 188 tracts.
On August 27, 2012, BOEM personnel
reported to work to carry out activities
outlined in the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement and Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management Gulf of
Mexico Region Emergency/Hurricane
Preparedness Plan. Upon completion of
the tasks, the Gulf of Mexico Regional
Office building in New Orleans was
closed at 3:00 p.m. local time. Many
BOEM employees and their families
evacuated the area ahead of the storm.
On August 29, 2012, Hurricane Isaac
made landfall along the northern Gulf
Coast, just south of the New Orleans
metropolitan area. Heavy rainfall and
high winds caused flooding and damage
to homes, businesses, and properties in
the area. The New Orleans area
experienced widespread power outages
that affected nearly every resident.
BOEM’s Regional Office building in
New Orleans received minor water
damage to office space on 4 floors in the
building, including offices occupied by
key personnel directly involved in the
post-sale evaluation process.
As a result of these extraordinary
circumstances, BOEM requires
additional time to complete the bid
review process, originally scheduled to
conclude within 90 days following the
Sale 216/222 sale date, that is, by
September 18, 2012. Under the
provisions of 30 CFR 556.47(e)(2),
BOEM is extending the bid evaluation
period until October 18, 2012.
