Andrus announced May 29th in Los Angeles the selection of 221 tracts comp=ising approximately 1,130,415 million acres (457,479 hectares) offshore Southern California for intensive environmental study for a proposed Outer Continental Shelf (oes) oil and gas lease sale (OCSH68) tentatively scheduled for June, 1982. "I am excluding frOl!l. further consideration in oes Sale 1t68, 40 tracts in and near Santa lo'.oni= Bay which vere excluded from oes Sales 535 in 1975 and fJ48 in 1979 and the Federal Ecolog~cal Preserve in the Santa Barbara Channel which includes parts of 10 tracu," Secretary Andrus siU.d. "However, the buffer zone in the Channel, which is generally seaward of the Preserve, will be studied in the environmental statement." "The Carte~ ~rl~inistration recognizes and respects the views of local citizens and State a~d local units of govec~ent. These are the people most concerned with the decisions that must be nade. I took their view into consideration, weighed them against the potential for oil and gas in these offshore areas, and decided accordingly," AI1drus said. A total oi 72 tracts were also celeted froo sale consideration following consultation with the Departwent of Defense to reduce conflicts with the Pacific Missile Range. The excluded tracts total appro~i~~tely half-a-million acres. The announc~ent follovs the evaluation of the results from the Bureau of Land Management's (BL.~) 'Call for N~inations and Co=ments' issued last February, and a series of open pra1i~inary tract selectio~ mee~ings. The 'Call' resulted in 609 tracts being nominated for leasing consideration by 10 companies and one individual as well ~~ 94 ~omments from Federal, State, local governments, the general public, and environoental organizations expressing concern about offshore leasing or rec0~ending specific areas for exclusion. Open preliminary tract selection ~eetings were held in Los Angeles, California, and Washington, D.C., and included participation by the California Governor's Office of Planning and Research, ("""ifornia State Lands COmTTlission, California Coastal Cuwwission, County of Santa Barbara, City of Los Angeles, Federal agencies and the media. Tracts selected for enviro~ental ~n",lysis range from Pt. Conception to south of San Clemente Island and lie in waters froo about 150 to 3000 feet (50 to IOOO meters) deep. Tracts selected are no closer than three geographic miles from shore and range seaward to 88 miles. (more) . . ~ Although tracts have been identified for EIS study, this selection is just one of many steps in the continuing public participation and information gathering process in Fede~al oes decision ~king. This step does not constitute a decision to hold a lease sale because no decision yill be made until all requirements of the National Enviro~ental Policy Act (HEPA) of 1969 are met. Development of the Draft Environmental I~pact Statement (DEIS) Yill take approx1~~tely one year follcrwea by public hearings, publication or a Final EIS. 30 day review by the EnviroaQental Protection Agency (EPA) , with a tentative lease sale decision slated for January, 1982. If the Secretary of the Interior decides to hold a lease sale (listed on the 5-year planning schedule for June, 1982), he will first notify the Gove~or of California of his tentative decision and allow 60 days for the Governor's c~ents before making his final decision. A copy of the tract selection list is available from BL~'s Washington Office of Public Affairs (202) 343-5717, or the Los Angeles Pacific OCS Office (213) 688-6756.

The area of the 'Call' covers an estimated 16.3 million acres (6.6 m1llion hectares) or approximately 2,900 whole and partial blocks with each whole block being roughly 9 square miles. Ranging seaward from 3 to 210 miles in water depths to approximately 12,000 feet (3700 meters), the 'Call' area ey-tends frem Pt. Conception to the U.S. - Mexican border. Specifically, the 'Call' asks the petroleum industry to nominate specific tracts on which it would like to bid if a lease sale is held. It also asks Federal, State, and local governments, other industries, universities, research institutions, env1ronmental organizations, and the public to comment on specific tracts they be- lieve have conflicting resource values or env1ronmental concerns. Information requested in the 'Call' pertains to geological, environmental, archeological, socia-economic, and other factors.
