and Gas Lease Sale 227
Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM), Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA) of
a Record of Decision (ROD) for CPA
Lease Sale 227 in the Gulf of Mexico
OCS Oil and Gas Lease Sales: 2012–
2017 Western Planning Area Lease Sales
229, 233, 238, 246, and 248; and Central
Planning Area Lease Sales 227, 231,
235, 241, and 247; Final Environmental

implementing the provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. (1988)).
BOEM has prepared a ROD
for oil and gas CPA Lease Sale 227
scheduled for March 20, 2013. CPA
Lease Sale 227 is the first CPA lease sale
in the 2012–2017 OCS Oil and Gas

the States of Louisiana, Alabama, and
Mississippi. In making its decision,
BOEM considered alternatives to the
proposed action and the potential
impacts as presented in the Multisale
FEIS and all comments received
throughout the NEPA process. The
Multisale FEIS evaluated the
environmental and socioeconomic
impacts for CPA Lease Sale 227.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Multisale FEIS, BOEM evaluated three
alternatives, which are summarized
below:
Alternative A—The Proposed Action:
This is BOEM’s preferred alternative.
This alternative would offer for lease all
unleased blocks within the CPA for oil
and gas operations with the following
exceptions:
(1) Whole and portions of blocks
deferred by the Gulf of Mexico Energy
Security Act of 2006;
(2) Blocks that are beyond the United
States Exclusive Economic Zone in the
area known as the northern portion of
the Eastern Gap; and
(3) Whole and partial blocks that lie
within the 1.4 nautical mile buffer zone
north of the maritime boundary between
the United States and Mexico.
The proposed CPA lease sale area
encompasses about 63 million acres of
the total CPA area of 66.45 million
acres. As of October 2012,
approximately 38 million acres of the
CPA lease sale area are currently
unleased. The estimated amount of
resources projected to be developed as
a result of proposed CPA Lease Sale 227
is 0.460–0.894 billion barrels of oil and
1.939–3.903 trillion cubic feet of gas.
Alternative B—The Proposed Action
Excluding the Unleased Blocks Near
Biologically Sensitive Topographic
Features: This alternative would offer
for lease all unleased blocks in the CPA,
as described for the proposed action
(Alternative A), with the exception of
any unleased blocks subject to the
Topographic Features Stipulation.
Alternative C—No Action: This
alternative would cancel the proposed
CPA Lease Sale 227 and is identified as
the environmentally preferred
alternative.
After careful consideration, BOEM
has selected a subset of the proposed
action, identified as BOEM’s preferred
alternative (Alternative A) in the
Multisale FEIS with a change to
exception 2 above to read, blocks that
are adjacent to the southern extent of or
beyond the United States Exclusive
Economic Zone. BOEM’s selection of
this alternative balances the need for
orderly resource development with
protection of the human, marine, and
