    For the purpose of this stipulation, ``live bottom areas'' are 
defined as seagrass communities; or those areas which contain 
biological assemblages consisting of such sessile invertebrates as sea 
fans, sea whips, hydroids, anemones, ascidians, sponges, bryozoans, or 
corals living upon and attached to naturally occurring hard or rocky 
formations with rough, broken, or smooth topography; or areas whose 
lithotope favors the accumulation of turtles, fishes, and other fauna.
    Prior to any drilling activities or the construction or placement 
of any structure for exploration or development on this lease, 
including, but not limited to, anchoring, well drilling, and pipeline 
and platform placement, the lessee will submit to the Regional Director 
(RD) a live bottom survey report containing a bathymetry map prepared 
utilizing remote sensing techniques. The bathymetry map shall be 
prepared for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of live 
bottoms which could be impacted by the proposed activity. This map 
shall encompass such an area of the seafloor where surface disturbing 
activities, including anchoring, may occur.
    If it is determined that the live bottoms might be adversely 
impacted by the proposed activity, the RD will require the lessee to 
undertake any measure deemed economically, environmentally, and 
technically feasible to protect the pinnacle area. These measures may 
include, but are not limited to, the following:
    (a) the relocation of operations; and
    (b) the monitoring to assess the impact of the activity on the live 
bottoms.

Stipulation No. 3--Military Areas

    (This stipulation will be included in leases located within the 
Warning Areas and Eglin Water Test Areas 1 and 3, as shown on the map

    Whether compensation for such damage or injury might be due under a 
theory of strict or absolute liability or otherwise, the lessee assumes 
all risks of damage or injury to persons or property, which occur in, 
on, or above the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), to any persons or to 
any property of any person or persons who are agents, employees, or 
invitees of the lessee, its agents, independent contractors, or 
subcontractors doing business with the lessee in connection with any 
activities being performed by the lessee in, on, or above the OCS, if 
such injury or damage to such person or property occurs by reason of 
the activities of any agency of the United States Government, its 
contractors or subcontractors, or any of its officers, agents or 
employees, being conducted as a part of, or in connection with, the 
programs and activities of the command headquarters listed in the 
following table.
    Notwithstanding any limitation of the lessee's liability in Section 
14 of the lease, the lessee assumes this risk whether such injury or 
damage is caused in whole or in part by any act or omission, regardless 
of negligence or fault, of the United States, its contractors or 
subcontractors, or any of its officers, agents, or employees. The 
lessee further agrees to indemnify and save harmless the United States 
against all claims for loss, damage, or injury sustained by the lessee, 
or to indemnify and save harmless the United States against all claims 
for loss, damage, or injury sustained by the agents, employees, or 
invitees of the lessee, its agents, or any independent contractors or 
subcontractors doing business with the lessee in connection with the 
programs and activities of the [[Page 17800]] aforementioned military 
installation, whether the same be caused in whole or in part by the 
negligence or fault of the United States, its contractors, or 
subcontractors, or any of its officers, agents, or employees and 
whether such claims might be sustained under a theory of strict or 
absolute liability or otherwise.
(b) Electromagnetic Emissions

those of its agents, employees, invitees, independent contractors or 
subcontractors emanating from individual designated defense warning 
areas in accordance with requirements specified by the commander of the 
command headquarters listed in the following table to the degree 
necessary to prevent damage to, or unacceptable interference with, 
Department of Defense flight, testing, or operational activities, 
conducted within individual designated warning areas. Necessary 
monitoring control, and coordination with the lessee, its agents, 
employees, invitees, independent contractors or subcontractors, will be 
effected by the commander of the appropriate onshore military 
installation conducting operations in the particular warning area; 
provided, however, that control of such electromagnetic emissions shall 
in no instance prohibit all manner of electromagnetic communication 
during any period of time between a lessee, its agents, employees, 
invitees, independent contractors or subcontractors and onshore 
facilities.
(c) Operational
    The lessee, when operating or causing to be operated on its behalf, 
boat, ship, or aircraft traffic into the individual designated warning 
areas shall enter into an agreement with the commander of the

Minerals Management Service, 1201 Elmwood Park Boulevard, New Orleans, 
Louisiana 70123-2394, either in writing or by telephone at (504) 736-

Regional Supervisor for Leasing and Environment at that address or by 
telephone at (504) 736-2759.
    (b) Navigation Safety. Operations on some of the blocks offered for 
lease may be restricted by designation of fairways, precautionary 
zones, anchorages, safety zones, or traffic separation schemes 
established by the U.S. Coast Guard pursuant to the Ports and Waterways 
Safety Act (33 U.S.C. 1221 et seq.), as amended, and the Deepwater Port 
Act (33 U.S.C. 1501-1524). Bidders are advised that the U.S. Coast 
Guard published a notice of final rulemaking expanding the existing 
safety zone around the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) (59 FR 17480 
published on April 13, 1994).
    U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) permits are required for 
construction of any artificial islands, installations, and other 
devices permanently or temporarily attached to the seabed located on 
the OCS in accordance with section 4(e) of the OCS Lands Act, as 
amended.
    For additional information, prospective bidders should contact Lt. 
Commander Ken Parris, Assistant Marine Port Safety Officer, 8th Coast 
Guard District, Hale Boggs Federal Building, New Orleans, Louisiana 
70130, (504) 589-6901. For COE information, prospective bidders should 
contact Mr. Ron Ventola CELMN-OD-S, Post Office Box 60267, New Orleans, 
Louisiana 70160-0267, (504) 862-2255.
    (c) Offshore Pipelines. Bidders are advised that the Department of 
the Interior and the Department of Transportation have entered into a 
Memorandum of Understanding, dated May 6, 1976, concerning the design, 
installation, operation, and maintenance of offshore pipelines. Bidders 
should consult both Departments for regulations applicable to offshore 
pipelines.
    (d) 8-Year Leases. Bidders are advised that any lease issued for a 
term of 8 years will be cancelled after 5 years, following notice 
pursuant to the OCS Lands Act, as amended, if within the initial 5-year 
period of the lease, the drilling of an exploratory well has not been 
initiated; or if initiated, the well has not been drilled in 
conformance with the approved exploration plan criteria; or if there is 
not a suspension of operations in effect. Bidders are referred to 30 
CFR 256.37 and the MMS Gulf of Mexico OCS Region Letter to Lessees of 
February 13, 1995.
    (e) Affirmative Action. Revision of Department of Labor regulations 
on affirmative action requirements for Government contractors 
(including lessees) has been deferred, pending review of those 
regulations (see Federal Register of August 25, 1981, at 46 FR 42865 
and 42968). Should changes become effective at any time before the 
issuance of leases resulting from this sale, section 18 of the lease 
form (Form MMS-2005, March 1986), would be deleted from leases 
resulting from this sale. In addition, existing stocks of the 
affirmative action forms described in paragraph 5 of this Notice 
contain language that would be superseded by the revised regulations at 
41 CFR 60-1.5(a)(1) and 60-1.7(a)(1). Submission of Form MMS-2032 (June 
1985) and Form MMS-2033 (June 1985) will not invalidate an otherwise 
acceptable bid, and the revised regulations' requirements will be 
deemed to be part of the existing affirmative action forms.
    (f) Ordnance Disposal Areas. Bidders are cautioned as to the 
existence of two inactive ordnance disposal areas in the Mississippi 
Canyon area, shown on the map described in paragraph 13(a). These areas 
were used to dispose of ordnance of unknown quantity and composition. 
Water depths range from approximately 750 to 1,525 meters. Bottom 
sediments in both areas are soft, consisting of silty clays. 
Exploration and development activities in these areas require 
precautions commensurate with the potential hazards.
    The U.S. Air Force has released an indeterminable amount of 
unexploded ordnance throughout Eglin Water Test Areas 1 and 3. The 
exact location of the unexploded ordnance is unknown, and lessees are 
advised that all lease blocks included in this sale within these water 
test areas should be considered [[Page 17801]] potentially hazardous to 
drilling and platform and pipeline placement.
    (g) Communications Towers. The Department of Defense, U.S. Air 
Force, has installed seven military communications towers in the 
Chandeleur/Mobile/Viosca Knoll area which support Air Combat 
Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI). This project may impose certain 
restrictions on oil and gas activities in that area since no activity 
can take place within 500 feet of a tower site, and unobstructed lines 
of sight must be maintained between towers. The seven towers are 
located within Mobile, Blocks 769, 819, and 990; Viosca Knoll, Block 
116; Chandeleur Area, Blocks 33 and 61; and Chandeleur Area, East 
Addition, Block 39. Information and maps of the specific locations and 
line of sight crossings for ACMI towers may be obtained from Mr. 
Wallace Williams, Minerals Management Service, (504) 736-2772.
    (h) Archaeological Resources. Bidders are advised that a Final Rule 
regarding archaeological resources was published in the Federal 
Register on October 21, 1994 (59 FR 53091), granting specific authority 
to each MMS Regional Director to require archaeological surveys and 
reports (under 30 CFR 250, 256, 260, and 281) and the submission of 
these reports to the Regional Director prior to exploration, 
development and production, or installation of lease-term or right-of-
way pipelines. MMS Notice To Lessees (NTL) 91-02 (Outer Continental 
Shelf Archaeological Resources Requirements for the Gulf of Mexico OCS 
Region) published in the Federal Register on December 20, 1991 (56 FR 
66076) effective February 17, 1992, specifies survey methodology, 
linespacing, and archaeological report writing requirements for lessees 
and operators in the Gulf of Mexico Region.
    Two additional documents are available from the MMS Gulf of Mexico 
Region Public Information Office (see paragraph 14(a)):
    ``List of Lease Blocks Within The High-Probability Area For 
Historic Period Shipwrecks On The OCS'' dated January 30, 1995. This 
list supersedes the list promulgated by the MMS Letter to Lessees (LTL) 
of November 30, 1990.
    ``List of Lease Blocks Within The High-Probability Area For Pre-
Historic Archaeological Resources On The OCS'' dated January 30, 1995.
    Implementation of this Final Rule and NTL 91-02 obviates the need 
for the Protection of Archaeological Resources Stipulation required in 
previous leases.
    (i) Proposed Rigs to Reefs. Bidders are advised that there are OCS 
artificial reef sites and planning areas for the Gulf of Mexico. These 
are generally located in water depths of less than 200 meters. While 
all existing and proposed sites require a permit from the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers, this ``Rigs to Reefs'' program is implemented 
through State sponsorship through the following State Coordinators:

Alabama Mr. Walter M. Tatum, (205) 968-7577
Louisiana Mr. Rick Kasprzac, (504) 765-2375
Mississippi Mr. Mike Buchanan, (601) 385-5860
Texas Ms. Jan Coulbertson, (713) 474-2811

    For more information on artificial reef sites, prospective bidders 
should contact the above listed State Artificial Reef Coordinators for 
their areas of interest.
    (j) Right of Use and Easement for Chandeleur Blocks 27 and 30. 
Bidders are advised that a right of use and easement has been granted 
for portions of Chandeleur Area Blocks 27 and 30 for gas storage 
purposes. The area is generally on the southernmost quarter of the 
federal portion of Chandeleur Area, Block 27 and the W1/2 NW1/4; NW1/4 
SW1/4 portion of Chandeleur Area, Block 30. For additional information, 
contact the MMS Gulf of Mexico Regional Supervisor for Production and 
Development at (504) 736-2675.
    (k) Proposed Lightering Zones. Bidders are advised that the U.S. 
Coast Guard has proposed designating certain areas of the Gulf of 
Mexico (60 FR 1958 of January 5, 1995), as lightering zones for the 
purpose of permitting single hull vessels to off-load oil within the 
U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Such designation may have implications 
for oil and gas operations in the areas. Additional information may be 
obtained from Lieutenant Commander Stephen Kantz, Project Manager, Oil 
Pollution Act (OPA 90) Staff, at (202) 267-6740.
    (1) Statement Regarding Certain Geophysical Data. Pursuant to 
Sections 18 and 26 of the OCS Lands Act as amended, and the regulations 
issued thereunder, MMS has a right of access to certain geophysical 
data and information obtained or developed as a result of operations on 
the OCS. MMS is sensitive to the concerns expressed by industry 
regarding the confidentiality of individual company work products and 
client lists and the potential burden of responding to a myriad of 
requests from MMS pertaining to the existence and availability of these 
types of reprocessed geophysical data. To resolve the concerns of both 
industry and MMS with respect to such cases, MMS has worked with 
industry to develop the requirements contained within paragraph 3(b) 
Method of Bidding above. These requirements are being imposed on a 
trial basis to determine their effectiveness and are subject to 
modification in future sales.
    The details of this requirement are specified in the document 
``Trial Procedures for Access to Certain Geophysical Data in the Gulf 
of Mexico'', which is provided in the Sale Notice package and which is 
available upon request from the MMS Gulf of Mexico Region Public 
Information Office (see paragraph 14(a)). In brief, these requirements 
include:
    1. In the period for ninety (90) days after the sale, bidders will 
allow MMS to inspect such data within seven (7) days of a written 
request from MMS, and upon further written request will transmit to 
MMS, within ten (10) working days, such data. After this ninety day 
period, a response time of thirty (30) days following an MMS written 
request will be considered adequate.
    2. Successful bidders must retain such data for three (3) years 
after the sale, and unsuccessful bidders must retain such data for six 
(6) months after the sale, for possible acquisition by MMS.
    For the six (6) month period after the sale, based on a review of 
the allowable cost of data reproduction to MMS for three-dimensional 
and two-dimensional data sets, the company providing the reprocessed 
data will be reimbursed at a rate of $480 per block or part thereof for 
three-dimensional data and $2 per line mile for two-dimensional data. 
Afterwards, reimbursement will be subject to the terms and conditions 
of 30 CFR 251.13(a).
    All geophysical data and information obtained and reviewed by MMS 
pursuant to these procedures shall be held in the strictest confidence 
and treated as proprietary in accordance with the applicable terms of 
30 CFR 251.14.
    For additional information, contact the MMS Gulf of Mexico Regional 
Office of Resource Evaluation at (504) 736-2720.
