BOEM has prepared a Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) to evaluate potential environmental effects of multiple Geological and Geophysical (G&G) activities on the Gulf of Mexico OCS. These activities include, but are not limited to, seismic surveys, sidescan-sonar surveys, electromagnetic surveys, and geological and geochemical sampling. The Draft PEIS considers G&G activities for the three program areas managed by BOEM: Oil and gas exploration and development; renewable energy; and marine minerals. This notice initiates the public review and comment period and also serves to announce public meetings on the Draft PEIS. After the public meetings and written comments on the Draft PEIS have been reviewed and considered, a Final PEIS will be prepared. A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare the PEIS was published in the Federal Register on May 10, 2013, and scoping comments were received during a comment period that was initially scheduled to close on June 24, 2013. The closing date of the public comment period was corrected to July 9, 2013, by publication of a Federal Register Notice on June 5, 2013.

and Geophysical Activities on the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental 
Shelf (OCS) MMAA104000

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: BOEM has prepared a Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact 
Statement (PEIS) to evaluate potential environmental effects of 
multiple Geological and Geophysical (G&G) activities on the Gulf of 
Mexico OCS. These activities include, but are not limited to, seismic 
surveys, sidescan-sonar surveys, electromagnetic surveys, and 
geological and geochemical sampling. The Draft PEIS considers G&G 
activities for the three program areas managed by BOEM: Oil and gas 
exploration and development; renewable energy; and marine minerals. 
This notice initiates the public review and comment period and also 
serves to announce public meetings on the Draft PEIS. After the public 
meetings and written comments on the Draft PEIS have been reviewed and 
considered, a Final PEIS will be prepared.
    A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare the PEIS was published in the 
Federal Register on May 10, 2013, and scoping comments were received 
during a comment period that was initially scheduled to close on June 
24, 2013. The closing date of the public comment period was corrected 
to July 9, 2013, by publication of a Federal Register Notice on June 5, 
2013.

DATES: Comments on this Draft PEIS will be accepted until November 29, 
2016. BOEM has determined that a 60-day public comment period is 
warranted given the complex and technical nature of this Draft PEIS 
along with possible requests for extending the comment period. 
Additionally, due to litigation deadlines, no more than 60-days for 
public comment will be granted. See public meeting dates in the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below.
