Oil and Gas Lease Sale 248;

Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM), Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability of a record
of decision
AGENCY:
BOEM is announcing the
availability of a Record of Decision for
proposed oil and gas WPA Lease Sale
248. This Record of Decision identifies
the Bureau’s selected alternative for
proposed WPA Lease Sale 248, which is
analyzed in the Gulf of Mexico OCS Oil
and Gas Lease Sale: 2016; Western
Planning Area Lease Sale 248 Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (WPA 248 Supplemental
EIS). BOEM has selected the proposed
action, which is identified as BOEM’s
preferred alternative (Alternative A) in
the WPA 248 Supplemental EIS. The
Record of Decision and associated
information are available on the
agency’s Web site at https://
www.boem.gov/nepaprocess/.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
more information on the Record of
Decision, you may contact Mr. Gary D.
Goeke, Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management, Gulf of Mexico OCS
Region, 1201 Elmwood Park Boulevard
(GM 623E), New Orleans, Louisiana
70123–2394. You may also contact Mr.
Goeke by telephone at 504–736–3233.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
WPA 248 Supplemental EIS, BOEM
evaluated three alternatives, which are
summarized below with regard to
proposed WPA Lease Sale 248:
Alternative A—The Proposed Action:
This is BOEM’s preferred alternative.
This alternative would offer for lease all
unleased blocks within the proposed
WPA lease sale area for oil and gas
operations with the following exception:
whole and partial blocks within the
boundary of the Flower Garden Banks
National Marine Sanctuary (i.e., the
boundary as of the publication of the
WPA 248 Supplemental EIS).
All unleased whole and partial blocks
in the WPA that BOEM will offer for
leasing in proposed WPA Lease Sale 248
are listed in the document ‘‘List of
Blocks Available for Leasing,’’ which is
included in the Final Notice of Sale for
WPA Lease Sale 248 being published
contemporaneously. The proposed WPA
lease sale area encompasses nearly all of

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
the WPA’s 28.58 million acres. As of
June 2016, approximately 23.7 million
acres of the proposed WPA lease sale
area are unleased. The estimated
amount of resources projected to be
developed as a result of the proposed
WPA lease sale is 0.116–0.200 billion
barrels of oil (BBO) and 0.538–0.938
trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of gas.
Alternative B—Exclude the Unleased
Blocks Subject to the Topographic
Features Stipulation: This alternative
would offer for lease all unleased blocks
within the proposed WPA lease sale
area, as described for the proposed
action (Alternative A), but it would
exclude from leasing any unleased
blocks subject to the Topographic
Features Stipulation. The estimated
amount of resources projected to be
developed under this alternative is
0.116–0.200 BBO and 0.538–0.938 Tcf
of gas. The number of blocks that would
not be offered under Alternative B
represents only a small percentage of
the total number of blocks to be offered
under Alternative A; therefore, it is
expected that the levels of activity for
Alternative B would be essentially the
same as those projected for the WPA
proposed action.
Alternative C—No Action: This
alternative is the cancellation of
proposed WPA Lease Sale 248 and is
identified as the environmentally
preferred alternative.
Lease Stipulations—The WPA 248
Supplemental EIS describes all lease
stipulations, which are included in the
Final Notice of Sale Package. The five
lease stipulations for proposed WPA
Lease Sale 248 are the Topographic
Features Stipulation, the Military Areas
Stipulation, the Protected Species
Stipulation, the United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea
Royalty Payment Stipulation, and the
Stipulation on the Agreement between
the United States of America and the
United Mexican States Concerning
Transboundary Hydrocarbon Reservoirs
in the Gulf of Mexico. Several of these
lease stipulations have been developed
to help mitigate potential impacts from
oil and gas activities. All practicable
means to avoid or minimize
environmental harm from the selected
alternative at the lease sale stage are
being adopted through application of
these stipulations. The stipulations will
be added as lease terms where
applicable and will therefore be
enforceable as part of the lease.
Appendix A of the WPA 246
Supplemental EIS, which is
incorporated by reference into the WPA
248 Supplemental EIS, provides a list
and description of standard post-lease
mitigating measures that may be

required by BOEM or the Bureau of
Safety and Environmental Enforcement
as a result of post-lease plan and permit
review processes for the Gulf of Mexico
OCS Region.
After careful consideration, BOEM
has selected the proposed action, which
is identified as BOEM’s preferred
alternative (Alternative A) in the WPA
248 Supplemental EIS. BOEM’s
selection of the preferred alternative
meets the purpose and need for the
proposed action, as identified in the
WPA 248 Supplemental EIS, and
reflects an orderly resource
development with protection of the
human, marine, and coastal
environments while also ensuring that
the public receives an equitable return
for these resources and that free-market
competition is maintained.
Authority: This Notice of Availability of
a Record of Decision is published pursuant
to the regulations (40 CFR part 1503)
implementing the provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
Dated: July 18, 2016.
