AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy

Enforcement (BOEMRE), Interior. 

ACTION: Availability of revised North 

American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) 

Outer Continental Shelf Official 

Protraction Diagram, Lease Maps, and 

Supplemental Official Outer 

Continental Shelf Block Diagrams. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

effective with this publication, the 

following NAD 27-based Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) Official 

Protraction Diagram (OPD), Lease Maps, 

and Supplemental Official OCS Block 

Diagrams (SOBDs) located in the Gulf of 

Mexico with revision date as indicated, 

are now available. BOEMRE in 

accordance with its authority and 

responsibility under Title 43, Code of 

Federal Regulations, is updating the 

basic records used for the description of 

renewable energy, mineral, and oil and 

gas lease sales in the geographic areas 

they represent. An audit of BOEMRE 

financial statements from 2007 

identified an apparent state revenue 

distribution error under Section 8(g) of 

the OCS Lands Act. In response, 

BOEMRE initiated a review of all 8(g) 

leases issued to date and discovered 

more errors. The two sources of the past 

errors are: (1) Movement of the 

Submerged Lands Act boundary 

required acreage recalculations of 

certain lease blocks, but the 

recalculations were not performed; and 

(2) newly prescribed mapping methods 

for determining equal revenue 

distribution amongst adjacent coastal 

states were not implemented. The OPD, 

Lease Maps, and SOBDs that required 

boundary and acreage adjustments were 

corrected in 2008. As a final correction, 

these documents are now revised to 

identify the specific action taken to 

resolve revenue disbursement errors. 

Specific Revisions: All of the maps 

listed below have been revised to reflect 

the new Agency name (BOEMRE). 

Those specific SOBDs for lease blocks 

that experienced revenue adjustments 

include one or more descriptive notes as 

follows. 

The ‘‘Note’’ for SOBDs that are 

offshore of the States of Texas, 

Mississippi, and Alabama specifies: 

‘‘For the purposes of revenue 

disbursement, revisions are made 

effective retroactively to April 14, 1986, 

the date of the 8(g) lease escrow 

settlement.’’ 

The ‘‘Note’’ for SOBDs that are 

offshore of the State of Louisiana 

specifies: ‘‘For the purposes of revenue 

disbursement, revisions are made 

effective retroactively to October 1, 

1986, the date of the 8(g) lease escrow 

settlement.’’ 

The ‘‘Note’’ for SOBDs in the vicinity 

of the Texas-Louisiana ‘‘wraparound’’ 

specifies: ‘‘For the purposes of revenue 

disbursement, revisions are made 

effective retroactively to May 30, 1997, 

the date that the ‘wraparound’ was 

erroneously removed.’’ 

The date of 8(g) lease escrow 

settlement is noted because all state 

claims to 8(g) funds were settled before 

that date.
