Details of the 2017-2022 National OCS Program can be found at *https://www.boem.gov/National-OCS-Program/.* In accordance with 30 CFR 556.301, BOEM published a Call for Information and Nominations
(Call)1 on the area identified in the 2017-2022 National OCS Program for the proposed Cook Inlet Lease Sale 258. The Call solicited industry nominations for areas of leasing interest and sought comments and information from the public on the areas being considered. BOEM analyzed the comments received in response to the Call and identified the areas that warranted further leasing consideration and analyses of the proposed sale's potential leasing effects on the human, marine, and coastal environments. This Area ID is not a decision to lease and is not a prejudgment by the Department of the Interior to proceed with proposed Cook Inlet Lease Sale 258. A decision to lease must be preceded by a number of steps, including, but not limited to, completion of environmental analyses, opportunities for the State of Alaska and other interested parties to comment, and issuance of Proposed and Final Notices of Sale. 1 85 FR 55859, September 10, 2020.
