SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The MMS

prepares EA’s and FONSI’s for

proposals which relate to exploration

for and the development/production of

oil and gas resources on the Gulf of

Mexico OCS. The EA’s examine the

potential environmental effects of

activities described in the proposals and

present MMS conclusions regarding the

significance of those effects.

Environmental Assessments are used as

a basis for determining whether or not

approval of the proposals constitutes

major Federal actions that 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 the MMS finds

that approval will not result in

significant effects on the quality of the

human environment. The FONSI briefly

presents the basis for that finding and

includes a summary or copy of the EA.

This notice constitutes the public

notice of availability of environmental

documents required under the NEPA

Regulations.
