Revision of Form MMS-2005, Oil and Gas Lease of Submerged Lands
Under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act
action: Notice of public workshop and extension of comment period.
summary: This notice announces a public workshop that the MMS will
conduct to acquire information pertinent to revision of Form-2005, Oil
and Gas Lease of Submerged Lands Under the Outer Continental Shelf
Lands Act. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the plain language
revisions to the form. This workshop is being held in conjunction with
the MMS sponsored Information Transfer Meeting. We are also giving
notice that we are extending the comment period on the Notice of
Revision of Form-2005, which was published in the Federal Register on
November 9. 1998 (63 FR 60380). The comment period is extended to
January 8, 1999.
dates: MMS will conduct the workshop from 1 to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday,
December 10.
addresses: MMS will hold the workshop at the Airport Hilton in Kenner,
Louisiana.

to Terry.Holman@mms.gov. Comments may be sent to Terry Holman, Minerals
Management Service, Mail Stop 4230, 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC
20240.
supplementary information: MMS has determined that Form MMS-2005, the
lease document, needs revision due to changes in regulations since it
was last reviewed in 1986. MMS has revised the form to reflect plain
English and has rewritten it for clarity and organization. To reduce
the need for future revisions to the document due to changes in
regulations, MMS refers the Lessee to applicable laws, and rules and
regulations of the Department. Much of the wording of existing Form MMS
2005 that specifically cites, incorporates by reference, or restates
statutory and regulatory requirements is therefore deleted from the
proposed revision.
Dated: November 25, 1998.

Director, Minerals Management Service.
