DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Minerals Management Service

Extension of Post-Sale Evaluation

Period for Western Gulf of Mexico

Lease Sale 168

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice to extend post-sale

evaluation period for Western Gulf of

Mexico Lease Sale 168.

SUMMARY: This notice extends by 15

days, the post-sale evaluation period for

Western Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 169.

The Minerals Management Service

(MMS) will complete evaluating all the

bids received in this sale by December

9, 1997. This action is necessary due to

the unusually high number of bids

received in response to this lease sale.

DATES: The post-sale evaluation period

ends on December 9, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary

L. Lore, Regional Supervisor, Resource

Evaluation, Gulf of Mexico Region,

telephone (504) 736–2710.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

Western Gulf of Mexico Sale 168, held,

August 27, 1997, we received 1,224 bids

on 804 tracts, 738 of which passed to a

second phrase required for detailed

evaluations. This unprecedented

response by industry in Sale 168

resulted from the enactment of the

Outer Continental Shelf Deep Water

Royalty Relief Act (Pub. L. 104–58) and

other factors, such as higher natural gas

and oil prices. Consequently, MMS is

unable to conduct and complete the

entire bid review process within the 90

days, i.e., by November 24, 1997. Under

provisions of § 256.47(e)(2), MMS is

extending the bid evaluation period

until December 9, 1997.

Dated: November 4, 1997.

sum will be paid to the Department of

incurred at the Site; and the balance of

$2,920,000 will be paid into a Special

party to the litigation. It grants the
