A14: The MMS invites comments from anyone who would like to submit information for us to consider in determining the appropriate size, timing, and location of Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas leasing for the new 5-year period. In addition to assessing oil and gas industry respondents information, MMS will consider the economic, social, and environmental values of all of the resources of the OCS and the potential impact of oil and gas exploration and development on the environment. MMS will then provide recommendations to the Secretary of the Interior so that the Secretary can approve a 5-year program that balances national interests, and meets the nations needs. All respondents are welcome to comment on any aspect of program preparation and to submit any type of pertinent information.
