Regulation and Enforcement 

Gulf of Mexico (GOM), Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS), Central 

Planning Area (CPA), Oil and Gas 

Lease Sale for the 2007–2012 5-Year 

OCS Program 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulation and 

Enforcement (BOEMRE), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA) of 

a Draft Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement (SEIS) and Public 

Meetings. 

Authority: This NOA is published 

pursuant to the regulations (40 CFR 1503) 

implementing the provisions of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. (1988)). 

SUMMARY: BOEMRE has prepared a Draft 

SEIS on an oil and gas lease sale 

tentatively scheduled in mid-2012 for 

CPA consolidated Lease Sale 216/222, 

which is the final CPA lease sale in the 

2007–2012 5-Year OCS Program. The 

proposed sale is in the Gulf of Mexico’s 

CPA off the States of Louisiana, 

Mississippi, and Alabama. This Draft 

SEIS updates the environmental and 

socioeconomic analyses for the CPA 

Lease Sale 216/222, originally evaluated 

in the Gulf of Mexico OCS Oil and Gas 

Lease Sales: 2007–2012; WPA Sales 204, 

207, 210, 215, and 218; Central Planning 

Area (CPA) Sales 205, 206, 208, 213, 

216, and 222, Final EIS (OCS EIS/EA 

MMS 2007–018) (Multisale EIS), 

completed in April 2007. This Draft 

SEIS also updates the environmental 

and socioeconomic analyses for the CPA 

Lease Sale 216/222 in the GOM OCS Oil 

and Gas Lease Sales: 2009–2012; CPA 

Sales 208, 213, 216, and 222; WPA Sales 

210, 215, and 218; Final Supplemental 

EIS (OCS EIS/EA MMS 2008–041) 

(2009–2012 SEIS), completed in 

September 2008. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEMRE 

developed the Draft SEIS for CPA Lease 

Sale 216/222 to consider new 

information made available since 

completion of the Multisale EIS and 

2009–2012 SEIS, including information 

concerning the Deepwater Horizon 

event and spill and new regulatory 

requirements. This Draft SEIS provides 

updates on the baseline conditions and 

potential environmental effects of oil 

and natural gas leasing, exploration, 

development, and production in the 

CPA. BOEMRE conducted an extensive 

search for new information from 

scientific journals; interviews with 

personnel from academic institutions; 

Federal, State, and local agencies; and 

various other sources. BOEMRE has 

reexamined potential impacts of routine 

activities and accidental events, 

including a possible large-scale event, 

associated with the proposed CPA lease 

sale. BOEMRE has also re-analyzed the 

proposed lease sale’s incremental 

contribution to the cumulative impacts 

on environmental and socioeconomic 

resources. Like the Multisale EIS and 

the 2009–2012 SEIS, the oil and gas 

resource estimates and scenario 

information for this Draft SEIS are 

presented as a range that would 

encompass the resources and activities 

estimated for this proposed lease sale.
