| 00-31629 | Request for Comments on the Preparation of a New 5-Year Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2002-2007; and Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed 5-Year Program | Notice | Section 18 of the OCS Lands Act (43 USC 1344) requires the Department of the Interior to solicit information from interested and affected parties during the preparation of a 5-year OCS oil and gas leasing program. The current 5-year program covers the period July 1997 to July 2002. The Minerals Management Service (MMS) intends to prepare a new 5-year program for 2002-2007 to succeed the current one. The MMS is starting the program preparation process at this time because section 18 requires completion of a lengthy, multi-step process of consultation and analysis before the Secretary of the Interior may approve a new 5-year program. The section 18 process includes the following required steps: this solicitation of comments; development of a draft proposed program, a proposed program, and a proposed final program; and Secretarial approval. The MMS also will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that analyzes the alternatives considered for the new 5-year program. This notice announces the start of the EIS preparation process. The MMS will consider comments received in response to this notice in developing the draft proposed program and in determining the scope of the EIS. | 2000-12-12 | 2000 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/12/12/00-31629/request-for-comments-on-the-preparation-of-a-new-5-year-outer-continental-shelf-ocs-oil-and-gas | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-12-12/pdf/00-31629.pdf | Interior Department; Minerals Management Service | 253,289 | Section 18 of the OCS Lands Act (43 USC 1344) requires the Department of the Interior to solicit information from interested and affected parties during the preparation of a 5-year OCS oil and gas leasing program.
