evaluating the adequacy of all water 

conservation plans developed by project 

contractors, including those plans 

required by section 210 of the 

Reclamation Reform Act of 1982.’’ Also, 

according to Section 3405(e)(1), these 

criteria must be developed ‘‘* * * with 

the purpose of promoting the highest 

level of water use efficiency reasonably 

achievable by project contractors using 

best available cost-effective technology 

and best management practices.’’ These 

criteria state that all parties 

(Contractors) that contract with 

Reclamation for water supplies 

(municipal and industrial contracts over 

2,000 acre-feet and agricultural 

contracts over 2,000 irrigable acres) 

must prepare Plans that contain the 

following information: 

1. Description of the District 

2. Inventory of Water Resources 

3. Best Management Practices (BMPs) 

for Agricultural Contractors 

4. BMPs for Urban Contractors 

5. Plan Implementation 

6. Exemption Process 

7. Regional Criteria 

8. Five-Year Revisions 

Reclamation will evaluate Plans based 

on these criteria. A copy of these Plans 

will be available for review at 

Reclamation’s Mid-Pacific (MP) 

Regional Office located in Sacramento, 

California, and the local area office. Our 

practice is to make comments, including 

names and home addresses of 

respondents, available for public 

review.

Prepared by the BOEMRE. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) 

of the National Environmental Policy

Environmental Quality regulations (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508), and the 

Department of the Interior regulations 

on NEPA (43 CFR part 46), BOEMRE 

announces the availability of 

Environmental Assessments (EA) and 

Findings of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) prepared for two oil and gas

Availability: To obtain a copy of an EA 

and/or FONSI, you may contact 

BOEMRE or visit the BOEMRE Web site 

at http://alaska.boemre.gov/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEMRE 

prepares EAs that examine the potential 

environmental effects of proposals for 

activities to evaluate oil and gas 

resource potential on the Alaska OCS. 

Each EA examines the potential 

environmental effects of activities 

described in the proposals and presents 

BOEMRE conclusions regarding the 

level and significance of those effects. 

The EAs are used as the basis for 

determining whether or not approvals of 

the proposals would significantly affect 

the quality of the human environment 

in the sense of NEPA Section 102(2)(C). 

A FONSI is prepared in those instances 

where BOEMRE finds that approval of 

the proposals will not result in 

significant effects on the quality of the 

human environment. 

This notice constitutes the notice of 

availability to the public of the 

following environmental documents: 

Project name Location Project purpose FONSI 

Shell Exploration & Production, Ancillary Activities, 

Marine Surveys OCS EIS/EA MMS 2010–022.

EIS/EA BOEMRE 2010–020.

Chukchi Sea, Alaska ...................... Conduct 2D/3D Sesimic Surveys .. 7/23/2010 

BOEMRE has concluded that the 

respective proposed actions will not 

significantly affect the quality of the 

human environment and that the 

preparation of EISs is not required. 

Mitigation measures identified during 

the NEPA process will be applied for 

each proposal to ensure environmental 

protection and safety.
