Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 88 /Thursday, May 7, 1998 / Notices 25233

EIS, which is available from the Gulf of

Mexico OCS Region’s Public

Information Office at 1–800–200–GULF.

The proposed action to be analyzed in

this EA is the offering of all available

unleased acreage in the CPA. The EA

will also analyze alternatives to defer

blocks south and within 15 miles of

Baldwin County, Alabama, and to defer

blocks containing topographic features

with sensitive biological resources, as

well as analyzing the no action

alternative. The analysis in the EA will

reexamine the potential environmental

effects of the proposed action and

alternatives based on any new

information regarding potential impacts

and issues that was not available at the

time the final EIS was prepared.

The MMS requests interested parties

to submit comments regarding any such

new information or issues that should

be addressed in the EA to the Minerals

Management Service (MS 5410), Gulf of

Mexico OCS Region, 1201 Elmwood

Park Boulevard, New Orleans, Louisiana

70123–2394 by June 5, 1998. After

completion of the EA, MMS will

determine whether to prepare a Finding

of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or a

supplemental EIS. The MMS will then

prepare and send to the affected States

consistency determinations, which the

States will review to determine whether

the proposed sale is consistent with

federally-approved State coastal zone

management programs. The MMS will

also send a proposed Notice of Sale to

the Governors for their comments on the

size timing, and location of the

proposed sale. The tentative schedule

for the steps in the prelease decision

process for Sale 172 is listed below:

Comments due to MMS, June 5, 1998;
