BILLING CODE 4310–70–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 

Notice of Availability of the Proposed 

Final Five Year Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Oil and Gas Leasing Program 

for 2012–2017 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management (BOEM), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of 

Proposed Final Program. 

SUMMARY: BOEM announces the 

availability of the Proposed Final Five 

Year OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program 

for 2012–2017 (PFP). This is the third 

and last proposal that is part of the 

multi-step process required by law 

before the Secretary of the Interior may 

approve a new Five Year Program. 

BOEM is publishing a Notice of 

Availability of the Five Year Final 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement concurrently with this notice. 

Pursuant to section 18 of the OCS Lands 

Act, this PFP was submitted to the 

President and Congress. After a period 

of at least 60 days from the date it was 

submitted to the President and 

Congress, the Secretary may approve the 

program, at which time it will become 

effective. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Donna Dixon, Five Year Program 

Manager at (703) 787–1215. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is the 

third and final proposal in the required 

statutory preparation process for a new 

program to succeed the current program, 

which expires on June 30, 2012. The 

first proposal—the Draft Proposed 

Program—was issued in January 2009, 

for a 60-day comment period that was 

extended by an additional 180 days and 

closed on September 21, 2009. The 

second proposal—the Proposed Program 

(PP)—was issued in November 2011 

with a 90-day comment period. 

The PFP document may be 

downloaded from the BOEM Web site at 

www.boem.gov. Hard copies may be 

obtained by contacting the Five Year 

Program Office at (703) 787–1215. The 

use of the acronym ‘‘BOEM’’ includes 

BOEM’s predecessor agencies, the 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, 

Regulation and Enforcement and the 

Minerals Management Service, as 

appropriate. 

Summary of the Proposed Final 

Program 

The PFP document further analyzes 

the six program areas that were 

proposed and analyzed in the November 

2011 PP. The PFP schedules a total of 

15 OCS lease sales in 6 areas (3 areas off 

Alaska and 3 areas in the Gulf of Mexico 

(GOM)). Maps A and B show the areas 

proposed for leasing. Table B (from the 

PFP document) lists the location and 

timing of the proposed lease sales in 

areas under consideration for leasing. 

In the Central and Western GOM 

Planning Areas, which remain the two 

areas of highest resource potential and 

interest, the PFP schedules annual 

areawide lease sales of all unleased 

legally available acreage, starting in 

2012 in the Western GOM and in 2013 

in the Central GOM. There are two lease 

sales scheduled in the portion of the 

Eastern GOM Planning Area that is not 

under congressional moratorium 

pursuant to the Gulf of Mexico Energy 

Security Act of 2006 (GOMESA). The 

PFP area includes the 2008 Sale 224 

Area and a sliver to the southeast of that 

area. There also is a portion of the 

Central Gulf within 100 miles of Florida 

that is unavailable pursuant to 

GOMESA. 

In the Alaska Region, the Five Year 

Program proposes one sale in the 

Chukchi Sea in 2016, excluding a 

25-mile buffer area along the coast, as 

presented in the PP. In addition to the 

25-mile buffer, the Secretary has 

determined that an additional area north 

of Barrow shall be removed from 

consideration. This additional deferral 

area is located north of Barrow and 

covers 208 OCS lease blocks beyond the 

northern edge of the 25-mile exclusion 

area. In the Beaufort Sea, one sale is 

scheduled, excluding the two whaling 

deferral areas from leasing 

consideration, as was done in the PP. 

The Beaufort Sea sale date has been 

scheduled in 2017, in recognition of the 

significant overlapping of subsistence 

use, resource distribution, and species 

habitat; and to allow more time to 

analyze and implement our focused 

leasing strategy in this area. 

In light of the significant resource 

potential that exists in the Alaskan 

Arctic, the substantial environmental 

challenges, as well as the social and 

ecological concerns that are present, 

BOEM’s regionally tailored strategy for

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 135 / Friday, July 13, 2012 / Notices 41449 

any future offshore oil and gas leasing 

in the Arctic is markedly different from 

the traditional areawide leasing model 

applied in the GOM, in which all 

unleased legally available acreage in the 

area is typically offered for sale. While 

the Five Year Program includes much of 

the planning areas as program areas for 

leasing consideration, BOEM is 

developing a process in which the 

Bureau will continue to use incoming 

scientific information and stakeholder 

feedback to proactively determine, in 

advance of any potential sale, which 

specific areas offer the greatest resource 

potential while minimizing potential 

conflicts with environmental and 

subsistence considerations. 

The Cook Inlet Planning Area is 

included on the schedule as a special 

interest sale. On March 27, 2012, BOEM 

issued a Request for Interest. In light of 

responses to the Request, BOEM 

decided to proceed with the pre-sale 

process for the Cook Inlet and to place 

the date for a potential lease sale in 

2016 to allow time to complete the 

necessary steps under the OCS Lands 

Act, develop additional resource and 

environmental information, and 

conduct an Environmental Impact 

Statement under the National 

Environmental Policy Act. 

Section 18 of the OCS Lands Act 

requires the receipt of fair market value 

for OCS oil and natural gas leases and 

the rights they convey. A series of 

agency decisions related to the timing of 

lease sales, the leasing framework, sale 

terms, and bid adequacy will provide 

the foundation for ensuring receipt of 

fair market value. Under the PFP, BOEM 

intends to use a two-phase post-sale bid 

evaluation process that has been in 

effect since 1983, while studying and 

evaluating refinements and alternative 

approaches throughout the 2012–2017 

Five Year Program. The flexibility 

incorporated into the PFP allows BOEM 

to evaluate alternatives with respect to 

delaying or canceling a sale area, 

choosing a leasing framework, and 

setting the fiscal terms and conditions 

by individual lease sale, based on a 

current assessment of market and 

resource conditions.
