Title: Draft environmental statement, proposed increase in acreage to be offered for oil and gas leasing on the Outer Continental Shelf
Description: Proposal to increase the acreage offered for OCS oil and gas exploration and development, so that ten million acres are leased in 1975. This proposal, if implemented, would entail leasing in frontier areas which have little or no history of such development. The possible environmental impacts of such an increase are examined, and several scenarios are presented by which this proposal could be effected.
