DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Minerals Management Service
Environmental Documents Prepared for Proposed Oil and Gas
Operations on the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
AGENCY: Minerals Management Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of the Availability of Environmental Documents. Prepared
for OCS Mineral Proposals on the Gulf of Mexico OCS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Minerals Management Service (MMS), 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 MMS for the following oil and gas activities
proposed on the Gulf of Mexico OCS.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Public Information Unit, Information
Services Section at the number below. Minerals Management Service, 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: MMS prepares SEAs and FONSIs for proposals
that relate to exploration for and the development/production of oil
and gas resources on the Gulf of Mexico OCS. These SEAs examine the
potential environmental effects of activities described in the
proposals and present MMS conclusions regarding the significance of
those effects. Environmental Assessments are used as a basis for
determining whether or not approval of the proposals constitutes major
Federal actions that significantly affect the quality of the human
environment in the sense of NEPA Section 102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared
in those instances where MMS 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.
This listing includes all proposals for which the Gulf of Mexico
OCS Region prepared a FONSI in the period subsequent to publication of
the preceding notice.
