SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

28, 2017, Presidential Executive Order 

13795: Implementing an America First 

Offshore Energy Strategy (E.O. 13795), 

directed the Secretary of the Interior 

(Secretary) to give full consideration to 

revising the schedule of proposed oil 

and gas lease sales adopted in the 2017– 

2022 Outer Continental Shelf Oil and 

Gas Leasing Program, which was 

approved on January 17, 2017. The 

Secretary issued Secretarial Order 3350 

on May 1, 2017, which further directed 

BOEM to develop a new National Outer 

Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing 

Program. As directed by the Secretary, 

BOEM initiated the development of the 

2019–2024 Program by issuing a request 

for information and comments (RFI) on 

July 3, 2017 (82 FR 30886). The Program 

development process required by 

section 18 of the Outer Continental 

Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), 43 U.S.C. 

1344, and its implementing regulations, 

includes the development of a DPP, a 

Proposed Program, a Proposed Final 

Program (PFP), and Secretarial approval 

of the 2019–2024 Program. 

This notice serves as the NOA for the 

DPP and the NOI for the preparation of 

a Programmatic EIS. The DPP includes 

the section 18 analysis for the OCS areas 

of potential interest to the Secretary and 

his initial proposed schedule of lease 

sales for the 2019–2024 Program. The 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
830 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 5 / Monday, January 8, 2018 / Notices 

DPP provides the basis for gathering 

information and conducting analyses to 

inform the Secretary on which areas to 

include for further leasing consideration 

in the 2019–2024 Program. 

The DPP for the 2019–2024 Program 

would make more than 98 percent of the 

OCS resources available to consider for 

oil and gas leasing during the 2019– 

2024 period. Including at this stage 

nearly the entire OCS for potential oil 

and gas discovery is consistent with 

advancing the goal of moving the United 

States from simply aspiring to energy 

independence to attaining energy 

dominance. This DPP would allow for 

unprecedented increases in access to 

America’s extensive offshore oil and gas 

resources, a critical component of the 

Nation’s energy portfolio, and 

emphasizes the importance of 

producing American energy in America. 

The DPP will enable the Secretary to 

receive information necessary to 

conduct a thorough consideration of the 

Section 18(a)(2) factors in order to 

perform the balancing analysis required 

by Section 18(a)(3) of the OCS Lands 

Act. Including areas in the 2019–2024 

Program will incentivize industry to 

employ their world-class geological and 

technical expertise to assess and 

evaluate America’s potential offshore oil 

and gas resources. By not prematurely 

restricting or narrowing OCS areas 

under consideration, this DPP will 

allow industry the opportunity to 

further inform the Secretary of their 

interest in leasing frontier areas and to 

collect data in areas that have not been 

explored in decades, if ever. This will, 

in turn, further our understanding of the 

resources available on the OCS to meet 

national energy needs. The Secretary’s 

approach to the DPP lease sale schedule 

does not prematurely foreclose 

exploration planning, but fosters it, to 

allow for potential for the discovery of 

oil and gas on the OCS. 

Allowing for the potential discovery 

of new oil and gas reserves on the OCS 

is consistent with the Administration’s 

America-First Energy Strategy, which 

seeks to achieve energy security and 

resilience by reducing U.S. reliance on 

imported energy. Additionally, OCS oil 

and gas production benefits the United 

States by helping to reinvigorate 

American manufacturing and job 

growth, and contributes to the gross 

domestic product. Many of the jobs in 

the oil and gas industry earn a 

significant wage premium; these 

employees have more purchasing power 

and can consume more goods and 

services, increasing their standard of 

living, and contributing more to the 

economy. 

Grounded in the above principles, 

and after careful consideration of public 

input and the OCS Lands Act Section 

18(a)(2) factors, the DPP proposes a 

lease sale schedule of 47 lease sales in 

all four OCS regions and includes 25 of 

the 26 planning areas: 19 lease sales in 

the Alaska Region (3 in the Chukchi 

Sea, 3 in the Beaufort Sea, 2 in Cook 

Inlet, and 1 sale each in the 11 other 

available planning areas in Alaska), 7 

lease sales in the Pacific Region (2 each 

for Northern California, Central 

California, and Southern California, and 

1 for Washington/Oregon), 12 lease sales 

in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Region (10 

regionwide lease sales for the portions 

of the Central, Western, and Eastern 

GOM planning areas that are not 

currently under moratorium, and 2 sales 

for the portions of the Central and 

Eastern GOM planning areas that will 

no longer be under moratorium in 

2022), and 9 lease sales in the Atlantic 

Region (3 sales each for the Mid- and 

South Atlantic, 2 for the North Atlantic, 

and 1 for the Straits of Florida). 

The DPP does not include a sale in 

the North Aleutian Basin Planning Area. 

This area was withdrawn on December 

16, 2014, from consideration for any oil 

and gas leasing for a time period 

without specific expiration.

* All available areas, not including those subject to the GOMESA moratorium through June 30, 2022. 

** Those areas available following the expiration of the GOMESA moratorium. 

Including 25 of the 26 planning areas 

in the DPP allows for maximum 

flexibility in the future stages of the 

process, as well as the opportunity to 

seek additional input and further 

coordinate with key stakeholders on 

those areas. The Secretary is committed 

to enhancing coordination and 

collaboration with other governmental 

entities to discover solutions to multiple 

use challenges so that oil and gas 

resources can be extracted, critical 

military and other ocean uses can 

continue, and our sensitive physical and 

biological resources can be protected. 

The Secretary’s goal is to increase access 

to America’s energy resources and to 

provide environmental stewardship 

based upon the most up to date 

environmental information and 

analysis. 

The DPP serves as the basis for the 

proposed action to be evaluated in the 

Programmatic EIS. This NOI starts the 

formal scoping process for the 

Programmatic EIS under 40 CFR 1501.7 

of the Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) regulations and 

solicits input from the public regarding 

alternatives, impacting factors, and 

environmental resources and issues of 

concern in the DPP areas that should be 

evaluated in the Programmatic EIS. The 

purpose of scoping for the Programmatic 

EIS is to determine the appropriate 

content and scope for a focused and 

balanced programmatic environmental 

analysis by ensuring significant issues 

are identified early and properly studied 

during development of the 

Programmatic EIS. BOEM expects to 

consider environmentally sensitive 

areas in the Programmatic EIS that 

could be considered for exclusion as 

part of the Section 18 winnowing 

process. 

Please go to https://www.boem.gov/ 

National-OCS-Oil-and-Gas-LeasingProgram-for-2019-2024/ for additional 

information about the Programmatic EIS 

and the 2019–2024 Program. 

Public Comment: All interested 

parties, including Federal, state, tribal, 

and local governments and others, can 

submit written comments on the DPP 

and the scope of the Programmatic EIS, 

significant issues that should be 

addressed, and the types of oil and gas 

activities of interest in OCS planning 

areas included in the DPP (e.g., gas in 

shallow water and industry interest in 

leasing and/or exploring planning areas 

not included in previous National OCS 

Programs). Comments on individual 

lease sale EIS documents should be 

submitted separately through the unique 

docket for each sale. Comments that 

provide scientific information, 

geospatial or other data, or anecdotal 

evidence to support your input are most 

useful and such information can be 

provided as attachments to comments. 

BOEM will protect privileged or 

proprietary information that you submit 

in accordance with the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) and OCSLA 

requirements. To avoid inadvertent 

release of such information, interested 

parties should mark all documents and 

every page containing such information 

with ‘‘Confidential—Contains 

Proprietary Information.’’ To the extent 

a document contains a mix of 

proprietary and nonproprietary 

information, interested parties should 

mark clearly which portion of the 

document is proprietary and which is 

not. Exemption 4 of FOIA applies to 

trade secrets and commercial or 

financial information that you submit 

that is privileged or confidential. The 

OCSLA states that the ‘‘Secretary shall 

maintain the confidentiality of all 

privileged or proprietary data or 

information for such period of time as 

is provided for in this subchapter, 

established by regulation, or agreed to 

by the parties’’ (43 U.S.C. 1344(g)). 

BOEM considers each interested party’s 

nominations of specific blocks to be 

proprietary, and therefore BOEM will 

not release information that identifies 

any particular nomination, so as not to 

compromise the competitive position of 

any participants in the process of 

indicating interest. 

However, please be aware that 

BOEM’s practice is to make all other 

public comments, including the names 

and addresses of individuals, available 

for public inspection. Before including 

your address, phone number, email 

address, or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, please be 

advised that your entire comment, 

including your personal identifying 

information, may be made publicly 

available at any time. While you can ask 

us in your comment to withhold from 

public review your personal identifying 

information, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so. In order for 

BOEM to consider withholding from 

disclosure your personal identifying 

information, you must identify any 

information contained in the submittal 

of your comments that, if released, 

would constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of your personal privacy. You 

must also briefly describe any possible 

harmful consequence(s) of the 

disclosure of information, such as 

embarrassment, injury or other harm. 

Note that BOEM will make available for 

public inspection, in their entirety, all 

comments submitted by organizations 

and businesses, or by individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives of organizations or 

businesses. 

Public Meetings: BOEM will hold a 

series of public meetings to provide 

information and the opportunity for 

public comment on the 2019–2024 

Program and the Programmatic EIS. 

BOEM’s public meetings will be held 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
832 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 5 / Monday, January 8, 2018 / Notices 

using an open house format. The open 

house format allows members of the 

public to come to a meeting any time 

during meeting hours to view 

information, provide comments, and 

discuss the 2019–2024 Program and the 

Programmatic EIS with BOEM staff. 

Public meetings will be held between 

now and March 9, 2018 to receive 

scoping comments on the Programmatic 

EIS. Meetings are being planned for, but 

are not necessarily limited to the 

following cities: 

• Washington, DC; 

• Augusta, ME; 

• Concord, NH; 

• Boston, MA; 

• Providence, RI; 

• Hartford, CT; 

• Albany, NY; 

• Trenton, NJ;

• Salem, OR; 

• Olympia, WA; 

• Anchorage, AK. 

Specific dates, times, and venues will 

be posted on https://www.boem.gov/ 

National-OCS-Program. 

Cooperating Agencies: BOEM invites 

other Federal agencies and state, tribal, 

and local governments to consider 

becoming cooperating agencies in the 

preparation of the Programmatic EIS. 

Pursuant to CEQ regulations and 

guidelines, qualified agencies and 

governments are those with 

‘‘jurisdiction by law or special 

expertise.’’ Potential cooperating 

agencies and governments should 

consider their authority and capacity to 

assume the responsibilities of a 

cooperating agency and remember that 

an agency’s role as a cooperating agency 

in the environmental analysis neither 

enlarges nor diminishes its authority in 

the NEPA process. BOEM will provide 

potential cooperating agencies with a 

written summary of expectations for 

cooperating agencies, including 

schedules, milestones, responsibilities, 

scope and expected detail of 

cooperating agencies’ contributions, and 

availability of predecisional 

information. BOEM anticipates this 

summary will form the basis for a 

Cooperating Agency Agreement between 

BOEM and any cooperating agency. 

Agencies should also consider the 

‘‘Factors for Determining Cooperating 

Agency Status’’ in CEQ’s January 30, 

2002, Memorandum for the Heads of 

Federal Agencies: Cooperating Agencies 

in Implementing the Procedural 

Requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act. This 

document is available on the website, 

https://ceq.doe.gov/guidance/ 

guidance.html. BOEM, as lead agency, 

does not plan to provide financial 

assistance to cooperating agencies. Even 

if an organization is not a cooperating 

agency, opportunities will exist to 

provide information and comments to 

BOEM during the normal public input 

stages of the NEPA process. 

Authority: This NOA for the DPP for the 

2019–2024 Program is published in 

accordance with section 18 of OCSLA and its 

implementing regulations (30 CFR part 556). 

This NOI to prepare the 2019–2024 

Programmatic EIS is published pursuant to 

the regulations (40 CFR 1501.7 and 43 CFR 

46.235) implementing the provisions of 

NEPA.
