Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), Alaska OCS Region, Beaufort Sea and Chukchi Sea, Proposed Oil and Gas Lease Sales for Years 2007 to 2012

SUMMARY: On August 23, 2007, pursuant to 30 CFR 256 and 40 CFR 1501.7 as a matter of information to the public, the MMS published in the Federal Register a Call for Information and Nomination and Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS for the Beaufort Sea and Chukchi Sea OCS planning areas. The Call is the initial step of a multiple sale process that incorporates planning and analysis for the Alaska lease sales included in the proposed final OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program 2007- 2012. We inadvertently omitted a page-size map of the Beaufort Sea Planning Area which should have accompanied a page-size map of the Chukchi Sea Planning Area and instead included two duplicate page-size maps of the Chukchi Sea Planning Area. The correct Beaufort Sea Planning Area map accompanies this notice.

planning areas. The Call is the initial step of a multiple sale process 
that incorporates planning and analysis for the Alaska lease sales 
included in the proposed final OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program 2007-
2012. We inadvertently omitted a page-size map of the Beaufort Sea 
Planning Area which should have accompanied a page-size map of the 
Chukchi Sea Planning Area and instead included two duplicate page-size 
maps of the Chukchi Sea Planning Area. The correct Beaufort Sea 
Planning Area map accompanies this notice.
