BOEM extends Chukchi comment period

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said Nov. 13 that it is extending the public comment period on proposed Chukchi Sea oil and gas lease sale 237 scheduled for 2016.

BOEM said the call for information and nominations for the proposed sale was issued Sept. 26, with the comment period scheduled to close Nov. 18, but in light of the federal government shutdown during the first half of October the comment period is being extended through Dec. 3.

BOEM noted that the call is designed to provide it with information about interest in offshore oil and gas leasing by requesting that industry identify specific blocks in the Chukchi Sea that appear promising for oil and gas exploration and development.

The call also requests comments and information from interested parties relevant to the agency’s analysis of areas for potential leasing, including geological conditions such as bottom hazards, seabed or nearshore archaeological sites, multiple uses of the area including navigation and subsistence, and other socioeconomic, biological or environmental information.

More information is available at www.BOEM.gov.
