BILLING CODE 4310–D2–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 

Extension of Post-Sale Evaluation 

Period for Consolidated Central Gulf of 

Mexico Planning Area Lease Sale 216/ 

222 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management (BOEM), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice to extend post-sale 

evaluation period. 

SUMMARY: This notice extends through 

October 18, 2012, the post-sale 

evaluation period for Consolidated 

Central Gulf of Mexico Planning Area 

Lease Sale 216/222. BOEM will 

complete the evaluation process for all 

bids received in this sale by October 18, 

2012. This action is necessary due to the 

temporary closure of the BOEM 

Regional Office building in New Orleans 

and other effects of the recent hurricane 

impacting the region. 

DATES: The post-sale evaluation period 

for this sale will conclude on October 

18, 2012. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

connection with the Consolidated 

Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 216/ 

222, held June 20, 2012, BOEM received 

593 bids on 454 tracts. On July 10, 2012, 

the high bids on 63 tracts were accepted 

and bids on another 391 tracts were 

passed to Phase 2 of the post-sale 

evaluation period for detailed 

evaluation. As of September 14, 2012, 

BOEM had completed the evaluation 

and deemed acceptable the high bids 

offered on 203 of the tracts passed to 

Phase 2. BOEM is continuing the 

evaluation process of bids for the 

remaining 188 tracts. 

On August 27, 2012, BOEM personnel 

reported to work to carry out activities 

outlined in the Bureau of Safety and 

Environmental Enforcement and Bureau 

of Ocean Energy Management Gulf of 

Mexico Region Emergency/Hurricane 

Preparedness Plan. Upon completion of 

the tasks, the Gulf of Mexico Regional 

Office building in New Orleans was 

closed at 3:00 p.m. local time. Many 

BOEM employees and their families 

evacuated the area ahead of the storm. 

On August 29, 2012, Hurricane Isaac 

made landfall along the northern Gulf 

Coast, just south of the New Orleans 

metropolitan area. Heavy rainfall and 

high winds caused flooding and damage 

to homes, businesses, and properties in 

the area. The New Orleans area 

experienced widespread power outages 

that affected nearly every resident. 

BOEM’s Regional Office building in 

New Orleans received minor water 

damage to office space on 4 floors in the 

building, including offices occupied by 

key personnel directly involved in the 

post-sale evaluation process. 

As a result of these extraordinary 

circumstances, BOEM requires 

additional time to complete the bid 

review process, originally scheduled to 

conclude within 90 days following the 

Sale 216/222 sale date, that is, by 

September 18, 2012. Under the 

provisions of 30 CFR 556.47(e)(2), 

BOEM is extending the bid evaluation 

period until October 18, 2012.
