DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
[MMAA104000]
Environmental Documents Prepared for Oil, Gas, and Mineral
Operations by the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Region
AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Interior.
ACTION: Notice of the Availability of Environmental Documents Prepared
for OCS Mineral Proposals by the Gulf of Mexico OCS Region.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: BOEM, in accordance with Federal Regulations that implement
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), announces the
availability of NEPA-related Site-Specific Environmental Assessments
(SEAs) and Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSIs). These documents
were prepared during the period April 1, 2013, through June 30, 2013,
for oil, gas, and mineral-related activities that were proposed in the
Gulf of Mexico, and are more specifically described in the
Supplementary Information Section of this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management,
Gulf of Mexico OCS Region, Attention: Public Information Office (GM
250E), 1201 Elmwood Park Boulevard, Room 250, New Orleans, Louisiana
70123-2394, or by calling 1-800-200-GULF.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEM prepares SEAs and FONSIs for certain
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 proposed activities
and present BOEM conclusions regarding the significance of those
effects. The SEAs 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 BOEM 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 as required under the NEPA Regulations.
