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 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 114, 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.
