Geological and Geophysical Exploration 

for Mineral Resources on the Gulf of 

Mexico Outer Continental Shelf: Final 

Programmatic Environmental 

Assessment (see http://www.boem.gov/ 

Oil-and-Gas-Energy-Program/GOMR/ 

2004–054.aspx). 

Cooperating Agency: BOEM invites 

other Federal agencies and State, Tribal, 

and local governments to consider 

becoming cooperating agencies in the 

preparation of the PEIS. We invite 

qualified government entities to inquire 

about cooperating agency status for the 

PEIS. Following the guidelines from the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

(CEQ), qualified agencies and 

governments are those with 

‘‘jurisdiction by law’’ or ‘‘special 

expertise.’’ Potential cooperating 

agencies should consider their authority 

and capacity to assume the 

responsibilities of a cooperating agency, 

and note that an agency’s role in the 

environmental analysis neither enlarges 

nor diminishes the final decision 

making authority of any other agency 

involved in the NEPA process. Upon 

request, BOEM will provide potential 

cooperating agencies with a written 

summary of ground rules for 

cooperating agencies, including time 

schedules and critical action dates, 

milestones, responsibilities, scope and 

detail of cooperating agencies’ 

contributions, and the availability of 

pre-decisional information. BOEM 

anticipates this summary will form the 

basis for a Memorandum of Agreement 

(MOA). Agencies should also consider 

the ‘‘Factors for Determining 

Cooperating Agency Status’’ in 

Attachment 1 to CEQ’s January 30, 2002, 

Memorandum for the Heads of Federal 

Agencies: Cooperating Agencies in 

Implementing the Procedural 

Requirements of the NEPA. A copy of 

this document is available at:http://

BOEM and NMFS, as co-agencies, will 

not provide financial assistance to any 

other cooperating agencies. Even if an 

organization is not an official 

cooperating agency, opportunities exist 

to provide information and comments 

during the normal public input phases 

of the NEPA/PEIS process. If further 

information about cooperating agencies 

is needed, please contact Mr. Gary 

Goeke at (504) 736–3233.

requires Defendants to comply with the 

2006 Administrative Order by 

implementing a ‘‘work plan,’’ and an 

addendum thereto, recently approved
