Outer Continental Shelf, Western Gulf of Mexico; Notice Regarding 
Sale 171

    On August 17, 1998, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) became 
aware that the routine Notice of Leasing Systems for Sale 171, Western 
Gulf of Mexico, printed in full below, was not published in the Federal 
Register on July 24, 1998. The leasing systems in this Notice are 
specified in the Sale 171 Notice of Sale which MMS published in the 
Federal Register on July 24, 1998. The Sale 171 Notice of Sale 
identified the bidding systems used in the sale and identified the 
blocks offered under each system. This Notice of Leasing Systems states 
again the leasing and bidding terms and the reasons for selection of 
the specific bidding systems. These bidding systems and the reasons for 
their selection are the same as those published for each Gulf of Mexico 
OCS lease sale since Sale 157, held in April 1996 (See 61 FR 12086, 
March 25, 1996). The MMS sent this Notice of Leasing Systems to the 
Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate 
on July 20, 1998.

    Dated: August 20, 1998.
Carolita U. Kallaur,
Associate Director for Offshore Minerals Management.
