NAEP NEPA WG comments on CEQ Review of the Mineral Management Service's (MMS) NEPA policies, practices, and procedures for OCS oil and gas exploration
In June of this year, NAEP and the NEPA Working Group submitted comments to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) for the CEQ Review of the Mineral Management Service’s (MMS) NEPA policies, practices, and procedures for OCS oil and gas exploration. The oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon well in the Gulf of Mexico prompted this review. The NEPA Working Group’s main comments were about the proposed restructuring of MMS into three separate agencies, the barriers to public involvement by MMS NEPA practices, and the sequence of permitting stages for OCS oil and gas activities. On August 16th, 2010, CEQ issued its report regarding the MMS’ NEPA policies, practices and procedures for OCS oil and gas exploration. A copy of the report can be found at http://ceq.hss.doe.gov/current_developments/mmsnepa.html.
