DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

 Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement


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

[[Page 38674]]

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 250, 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.
