(5) it is not reasonably foreseeable that explo-
ration of a leased tract located more than 25 miles 
seaward of the coastline, development and produc-

miles seaward of the coastline, or development and 
production of an oil discovery located more than 50 
miles seaward of the coastline will adversely affect

resources near the coastline if the oil is within 50 
miles of the coastline, but such potential to adversely 
affect such resources is likely no greater, and prob-

transportation because tanker spills usually involve
