Elmwood Park Boulevard, Room 250, 

New Orleans, Louisiana 70123–2394, or 

by calling 1–800–200–GULF. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEMRE 

prepares SEAs and FONSIs for 

proposals that relate to exploration, 

development, production, and transport 

of oil, gas, and mineral resources on the 

Federal OCS. These SEAs examine the 

potential environmental effects of 

activities described in the proposals and 

present BOEMRE conclusions regarding 

the significance of those effects. 

Environmental Assessments are used as 

a basis for determining whether or not 

approval of the proposals constitutes a 

major Federal action that significantly 

affects the quality of the human 

environment in accordance with NEPA 

Section 102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared 

in those instances where BOEMRE 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 SEA. 

This notice constitutes the public 

notice of availability of environmental 

documents required under the NEPA 

Regulations.

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.
