alternatives, which included no action 

and two configurations to defer areas 

from leasing along the coast adjacent to 

the proposed sale area. The Final EIS 

evaluated the potential effects of 

exploration seismic surveying and 

drilling; oil development, production, 

and transportation; and accidental crude 

oil spills. 

3. Scoping: In accordance with 40 

CFR 1502.9(c)(4), there will be no 

scoping conducted for this SEIS. The 

scope of the Final EIS for Sale 193 and 

the remand by the United States District 

Court for the District of Alaska establish 

the scope for this SEIS. A Notice of 

Availability of the draft Supplemental 

EIS for public review and comment will 

be announced: (1) In the Federal 

Register by BOEMRE and the 

Environmental Protection Agency; (2) 

on the BOEMRE, Alaska OCS Region, 

homepage; and (3) in the local media. 

Public hearings will be held following 

release of the Draft Supplemental EIS. 

Dates and locations will be determined 

and published at a later date. 

4. Cooperating Agencies: The DOI 

policy is to invite other Federal 

agencies, and State, Tribal, and local 

governments to consider becoming 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of an EIS. Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) regulations state that 

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. 

Cooperating agency status neither 

enlarges nor diminishes the final 

decisionmaking authority of any agency 

involved in the NEPA process. The 

BOEMRE invites qualified government 

entities to inquire about cooperating 

agency status for this Supplemental EIS. 

Upon request, the BOEMRE will provide 

qualified 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 handling of predecisional information. The BOEMRE 

anticipates this summary will form the 

basis for a Memorandum of 

Understanding between the BOEMRE 

and each cooperating agency. You 

should also consider the CEQ’s ‘‘Factors 

for Determining Cooperating Agency 

Status.’’ This document is available on 

the CEQ Web site at: http:// 

ceq.hss.doe.gov/nepa/regs/cooperating/ 

cooperatingagencymemofactors.html. 

Even if your organization is not a 

cooperating agency, you will have an 

opportunity to provide information and 

comments to BOEMRE during the 

comment phase of the NEPA/EIS 

process. Additional information may be 

found at the following Web site:
