Cooperating Agency: BOEM invites 

qualified government entities, such as 

other Federal Agencies, State, Tribal, 

and local governments, to consider 

becoming cooperating agencies for the 

preparation of Lease Sale 244 EIS. 

Following the guidelines at 40 CFR 

1501.6 and 1508.5 from the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ), qualified 

agencies and governments are those 

with ‘‘jurisdiction by law or special 

expertise.’’ Potential cooperating 

agencies should consider their authority 

and capacity to assume the 

responsibilities of a cooperating agency 

and remember that an agency’s role in 

the environmental analysis neither 

enlarges nor diminishes the final 

decision-making authority of any other 

agency involved in the NEPA process. 

Upon request, BOEM will provide 

potential cooperating agencies with a 

written summary of guidelines for 

cooperating agencies, including time 

schedules and critical action dates, 

milestones, responsibilities, scope and 

detail of cooperating agencies’ 

contributions, and availability of predecisional information. BOEM 

anticipates this summary will form the 

basis for a Memorandum of 

Understanding between BOEM and any 

cooperating agency. BOEM, as the lead 

agency, will not provide financial 

assistance to cooperating agencies. In 

addition to becoming a cooperating 

agency, other opportunities will exist to 

provide information and comments to 

BOEM during the public comment 

period for the EIS. For additional 

information about cooperating agencies, 

please contact Michael Rolland, 

Regional Supervisor, BOEM, at 

telephone (907) 334–5271. 

Authority: This notice of intent is 

published pursuant to the regulation at 40 

CFR 1501.7 implementing the provisions of 

NEPA.

Acting Director, Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management.
