the Western Gulf of Mexico (GOM)

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service, Interior.

ACTION: Correction of the Notice of Availability of the Proposed Notice 
of Sale for Proposed Sale 196.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On March 28, 2005, pursuant to 30 CFR 256.29(c) as a matter of 
information to the public, the MMS published in the Federal Register 
the Notice of Availability of the proposed Notice of Sale for OCS Sale 
196 in the Western GOM. The title of that Notice correctly identified 
the proposed sale as an oil and gas lease sale in the Western GOM. 
However, in the summary of the action, the sale was incorrectly 
identified as a Central GOM sale. We are issuing this Notice to correct 
that error.
