22624 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 82 / Thursday, April 29, 2010 / Notices 

MMS issued a Notice of Intent to 

prepare an EIS published in the Federal 

Register on November 13, 2008 (Vol. 73, 

No. 220, page 67201), and included a 

45-day scoping period. No scoping 

meetings were announced at that time. 

The MMS decided to extend the 

comment period and made 

announcements in a press release and 

other media. On January 7, 2009, MMS 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register (Vol. 74, No. 4, page 727) 

extending the scoping comment period 

to 60 days. That comment period 

expired on January 13, 2009. Over 

27,000 comments were received during 

this 60-day period. This Federal 

Register notice is not an announcement 

to hold the proposed lease sale, but it is 

a continuation of information gathering 

and the environmental review required 

by NEPA. The comments we receive 

during scoping help us form the content 

of the EIS and are summarized for 

Departmental decisionmakers prior to a 

decision on whether or not to hold a 

lease sale. 

The purpose of the public scoping 

process is to determine relevant issues 

that should be considered in the 

environmental analysis of oil and gas 

exploration, development, and 

production activities in the vicinity of 

the proposed lease area including 

alternatives, and guide the process for 

developing the EIS. For the proposed 

Lease Sale 220 EIS, the MMS has 

currently identified the following 

preliminary issues: air quality, 

biological resources, recreation, cultural 

resources, special management areas, 

land use, socioeconomic, and visual 

resources. The MMS will use and 

coordinate the NEPA commenting 

process to satisfy the public 

involvement process for Section 106 of 

the National Historic Preservation Act 

(16 U.S.C. 470f) as provided for in 36 

CFR 800.2(d)(3). Throughout the 

scoping process, Federal, state, tribal, 

and local governments and other 

interested parties have the opportunity 

to aid MMS in determining the 

significant issues, reasonable 

alternatives, and potential mitigating 

measures to be analyzed in the EIS, as 

well as the possible need for additional 

information. Possible alternatives for 

analysis within the proposed Lease Sale 

220 EIS may represent a range of levels 

of activities, including: (1) Taking the 

proposed action (Sale 220); (2) taking no 

action (canceling the Sale); (3) 

implementing appropriate restrictions 

on oil and gas activities based on 

environmental resources that are 

present; or (4) defining temporal or 

spatial work windows to accommodate 

existing use of OCS space important to 

other critical national missions. 

Additional alternatives developed 

through scoping and NEPA evaluation 

will be considered. 

Statements on the proposed Lease 

Sale 220 EIS, both oral and written, will 

be received at the venues listed below. 

All persons wishing to speak will have 

the opportunity to do so. Time limits 

may be set on speakers to allow time for 

all speakers to participate. The 

following public scoping meetings are 

planned for proposed Lease Sale 220: 

• May 12, 2010—Hilton Norfolk 

Airport, 1500 N. Military Highway, 

Norfolk, Virginia 23502; one meeting, 

from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST (This meeting 

will also accept comments on the G&G 

PEIS for the Mid- and South Atlantic 

OCS. This is the only one of these three 

meetings that will accept comments on 

both the proposed Lease Sale 220 EIS 

and the G&G PEIS for the Mid- and 

South Atlantic OCS.); 

• May 25, 2010—Princess Royale 

Oceanfront Hotel & Conference Center, 

9100 Coastal Highway, Ocean City, 

Maryland 21842–2745; two meetings, 

the first from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. EST and 

the second from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST; 

• May 27, 2010—Elizabeth City State 

University Fine Arts Complex, 1704 

Weeksville Road, Elizabeth City, North 

Carolina 27909; two meetings, the first 

from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. EST and the 

second from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST. 

In regards to the G&G PEIS for the 

Mid- and South Atlantic OCS, MMS 

issued a Notice of Intent to prepare an 

EIS published in the Federal Register 

on January 21, 2009 (74 FR 3636) and 

included a 45-day scoping period. No 

scoping meetings were announced at 

that time. On April 2, 2010, the MMS 

reopened the scoping period for an 

additional 45 days (ending May 17, 

2010) and announced a series of public 

scoping meetings for late April 2010 (75 

FR 16830). The comments received 

during both scoping periods will help 

MMS to prepare a PEIS evaluating the 

potential environmental effects of 

multiple G&G activities on the Mid- and 

South Atlantic OCS associated with 

renewable energy projects, oil and gas 

exploration, and marine minerals 

extraction. The purpose of the scoping 

is to identify significant resources and 

issues to be analyzed in the PEIS, and 

possible alternatives to the proposed 

action. Possible alternatives for analysis 

may represent a range of levels of 

activities from unrestricted to no 

seismic, mitigation (e.g., exclusion 

zones based on received levels of 

sounds; and limitations on certain 

combinations of activities in specific 

temporal/spatial circumstances). 

MMS is now announcing through this 

Notice an additional and separate 

scoping meeting on the PEIS on May 12, 

2010, in Norfolk, Virginia, which will 

also solicit public input on both the 

PEIS and proposed Lease Sale 220. 

Details of this meeting include: 

• May 12, 2010—Hilton Norfolk 

Airport, 1500 N. Military Highway, 

Norfolk, Virginia 23502; one meeting, 

from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
