PROPOSED OIL AND GAS LEASE SALE
The Department of the interior's Bureau of Land Management today asked for
information bearing on which submerged tracts of land offshore Southern California
might be offered in a proposed sale of Federal Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas
leases tentatively slated for June, 1982, Known as the °Call for Nominations and
Comments',.. this request solicits information and data on tracts having oil and gas
potential, or any resource value, that might be affected by the proposal.
The area of the 'Call' covers an estimated 16.3 million acres (6.6 million 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 me*_ers), the °Call° area extends from Pt. Conception *_o the LTrS. -
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. Zt also asks Federal, State,
and local governments, other industries, universities, researeh institutions,
environmental organizations, and the public to comment on specific tracts they be-
lieve have conflicting resource values or environmental concerns. Information
requested in the 'Call' pertains to geological, environmental, archeological,
socio-economic, and other factors.
The area of the 'Call' appears on the following OCS Official Protraction Diagrams:
