Elmwood Park Boulevard, Mail Stop

70123–2394, telephone (504) 736–1759. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of this Call is to solicit 

comments from industry and the public 

on: (a) Industry nominations of acreage 

for possible inclusion in the proposed 

sales; and (b) information on the Call 

Area for consideration in planning for 

these proposed OCS oil and gas lease 

sales, including geological conditions, 

archaeological sites, potential use 

conflicts in the Call Area, areas of 

special concern and analysis, and other 

socioeconomic, biological and 

environmental information. Because the 

first Gulf of Mexico Region-wide lease 

sale in the 2019–2024 National Draft 

Proposed Program is proposed to occur 

in 2020, and given the long lead time 

needed to prepare for a proposed sale, 

BOEM must initiate the planning 

process before the National OCS Oil and 

Gas Leasing Program (2019–2024 

National Program) has been finalized. 

This Call is not a decision to lease and 

does not prejudge any future Secretarial 

decision concerning areas to be made 

available for leasing under the 2019– 

2024 National Program. 

2019–2024 Program Development: On 

January 4, 2018, the Department of the 

Interior announced the release of the 

2019–2024 National Draft Proposed 

Program and published a Notice of 

Intent (NOI) to prepare a Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) 

for the 2019–2024 National Program. 

Information on the development of the 

proposed 2019–2024 National Program 

and PEIS is available on BOEM’s 

website at: https://www.boem.gov/ 

National-OCS-Program/. 

Because the first Gulf of Mexico 

Region-wide sale in the 2019–2024 

National Draft Proposed Program is 

tentatively proposed to occur near the 

beginning of the lease sale schedule, 

and given the long lead time needed to 

prepare for a proposed oil and gas lease 

sale, the administrative and 

environmental review processes for this 

sale must occur simultaneously and in 

close coordination with the
