A large-scale map of the Call Area
showing its boundaries and with
numbered blocks is available from
BOEM at the following address: Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management, Office of
Renewable Energy Programs, 381 Elden
Street, HM 1328, Herndon, Virginia
20170–4817, Phone: (703) 787–1320.
5. Cooperating Agencies
BOEM invites Federal, state, and local
government agencies, as well as tribal
governments, to consider becoming
cooperating agencies in the preparation
of this EA. CEQ regulations
implementing the procedural provisions
of NEPA define cooperating agencies as
those with ‘‘jurisdiction by law or
special expertise’’ (40 CFR 1508.5).
Potential cooperating agencies should
consider their authority and capacity to
assume the responsibilities of a
cooperating agency and remember that
an agency’s role in the environmental
analysis neither enlarges nor diminishes
the final decision-making authority of
any other agency involved in the NEPA
process.
Upon request, BOEM will provide
potential cooperating agencies with a
draft Memorandum of Agreement that
includes a schedule with critical action
dates and milestones, mutual
responsibilities, designated points of
contact, and expectations for handling
predecisional information. Agencies
should also consider the ’’Factors for
Determining Cooperating Agency
Status’’ in Attachment 1 to CEQ’s
January 30, 2002, Memorandum for the
Heads of Federal Agencies: Cooperating
Agencies in Implementing the
Procedural Requirements of the NEPA.

cooperating/
cooperatingagenciesmemorandum.html
and at: http://ceg.hss.doe.gov/nepa/regs/
cooperating/
cooperatingagencymemofactors.html.
BOEM, as the lead agency, will not
provide financial assistance to
cooperating agencies. Even if an
organization is not a cooperating
agency, opportunities will exist to
provide information and comments to
BOEM during the normal public input
phases of the NEPA/EA process.

(see 5 CFR 1320.8 (d) and 1320.12(a)).
This notice identifies an information

collection of information, you are not

The BLM will request a 3-year term of
approval for this information collection
activity. Comments are invited on: (1)
The need for the collection of

functions of the agency; (2) the accuracy
of the agency’s burden estimates; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information collection; and
(4) ways to minimize the information
collection burden on respondents, such
as use of automated means of collection
of the information. A summary of the

submission of the information collection
requests to OMB.
