        3. Method of Bidding.
        (a) Submission of Bids.
        A separate signed bid in a sealed envelope labeled ``Sealed Bid for 
    Oil and Gas Lease Sale 152, not to be opened until 9 a.m., c.s.t., 
    Wednesday, May 10, 1995'' must be submitted for each block bid upon. 
    The sealed envelope and the bid should contain the following 
    information: the company name, qualification number, area number and/or 
    name (abbreviations acceptable), and the block number of the block bid 
    upon. In addition, the total amount bid must be in whole dollar 
    amounts.
        Bidders must submit with each bid one-fifth of the cash bonus, in 
    cash or by cashier's check, bank draft, or certified check, payable to 
    the order of the U.S. Department of the Interior--Minerals Management 
    Service. For identification purposes, the company name and company 
    qualification number should also appear on the check or draft together 
    with the bid block identification (abbreviation acceptable). No bid for 
    less than all of the unleased portions of a block will be considered.
        All documents must be executed in conformance with signatory 
    authorizations on file in the Gulf of Mexico regional office. 
    Partnerships also need to submit or have on file a list of signatories 
    authorized to bind the partnership. Bidders submitting joint bids must 
    state on the bid form the proportionate interest of each participating 
    bidder, in percent to a maximum of five decimal places, e.g., 33.33333

    specified in Paragraph 2 of this Notice, a statement or statements 
    identifying any processed or reprocessed pre and post stack depth 
    migrated geophysical data in their possession or control pertaining to

    existence, extent, and type of such data must be clearly identified. In 
    addition, the statement shall certify that no such data is in their 
    possession for any other blocks on which they participate as a bidder. 
    The statement shall be submitted in an envelope separate from those 
    containing bids and shall be clearly marked; an example of a preferred 
    format for the statement and the envelope is included in the document 
    titled ``Trial Procedures for Access to Certain Geophysical Data in the 
    Gulf of Mexico''. Only one statement [[Page 17798]] per bidder is 
    required for each sale, but more than one may be submitted if desired, 
    provided that all tracts bid on by that company are covered in the one

    Government in an interest-bearing account in the U.S. Treasury during

    thereof. Any bid submitted which does not conform to the requirements 
    of this Notice, the OCS Lands Act, as amended, and other applicable

        11. Leasing Maps and Official Protraction Diagrams. Blocks offered 
    for lease may be located on the following Leasing Maps or Official

    regional office (see paragraph 14(a)):
        (a) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Leasing Maps--Louisiana Nos. 1 
    through 12. This is a set of 30 maps which sells for $32.
    
        Note: On January 13, 1995, it was announced (60 FR 3258) that 
    two new maps, LA-6 (South Timbalier Area) and LA-6C (Bay Marchand 
    Area), have replaced one old map LA-6 (South Timbalier and Bay 
    Marchand Areas). No changes were made to the leasing areas nor to 
    any of the blocks within. The only effect of the map replacement is 
    that the Bay Marchand Area is now known as map LA-6C. The South 
    Timbalier Area remains map LA-6. These two new maps are available 
    separately for $2.00 each. The new map designation for the Bay 
    Marchand Area (LA-6C) must be used when preparing bids.

    Stipulation No. 2--Live Bottoms
    
        (To be included only on leases in the following blocks: Main Pass 
    Area, South and East Addition, Blocks 190, 194, 198, 219-226, 244-266, 
    276-290; Viosca Knoll, Blocks 473-476, 521, 522, 564, 565, 566, 609, 
    610, 654, 692-698, 734, 778.)
        For the purpose of this stipulation, ``live bottom areas'' are 
    defined as seagrass communities; or those areas which contain 
    biological assemblages consisting of such sessile invertebrates as sea 
    fans, sea whips, hydroids, anemones, ascidians, sponges, bryozoans, or 
    corals living upon and attached to naturally occurring hard or rocky 
    formations with rough, broken, or smooth topography; or areas whose 
    lithotope favors the accumulation of turtles, fishes, and other fauna.
        Prior to any drilling activities or the construction or placement 
    of any structure for exploration or development on this lease, 
    including, but not limited to, anchoring, well drilling, and pipeline 
    and platform placement, the lessee will submit to the Regional Director 
    (RD) a live bottom survey report containing a bathymetry map prepared 
    utilizing remote sensing techniques. The bathymetry map shall be 
    prepared for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of live 
    bottoms which could be impacted by the proposed activity. This map 
    shall encompass such an area of the seafloor where surface disturbing 
    activities, including anchoring, may occur.
        If it is determined that the live bottoms might be adversely 
    impacted by the proposed activity, the RD will require the lessee to 
    undertake any measure deemed economically, environmentally, and 
    technically feasible to protect the pinnacle area. These measures may 
    include, but are not limited to, the following:
        (a) the relocation of operations; and
        (b) the monitoring to assess the impact of the activity on the live 
    bottoms.
    
    Stipulation No. 3--Military Areas
    
        (This stipulation will be included in leases located within the 
    Warning Areas and Eglin Water Test Areas 1 and 3, as shown on the map 
    described in paragraph 13(a)).
    (a) Hold and Save Harmless
        Whether compensation for such damage or injury might be due under a 
    theory of strict or absolute liability or otherwise, the lessee assumes 
    all risks of damage or injury to persons or property, which occur in, 
    on, or above the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), to any persons or to 
    any property of any person or persons who are agents, employees, or 
    invitees of the lessee, its agents, independent contractors, or 
    subcontractors doing business with the lessee in connection with any 
    activities being performed by the lessee in, on, or above the OCS, if 
    such injury or damage to such person or property occurs by reason of 
    the activities of any agency of the United States Government, its 
    contractors or subcontractors, or any of its officers, agents or 
    employees, being conducted as a part of, or in connection with, the 
    programs and activities of the command headquarters listed in the 
    following table.
        Notwithstanding any limitation of the lessee's liability in Section 
    14 of the lease, the lessee assumes this risk whether such injury or 
    damage is caused in whole or in part by any act or omission, regardless 
    of negligence or fault, of the United States, its contractors or 
    subcontractors, or any of its officers, agents, or employees. The 
    lessee further agrees to indemnify and save harmless the United States 
    against all claims for loss, damage, or injury sustained by the lessee, 
    or to indemnify and save harmless the United States against all claims 
    for loss, damage, or injury sustained by the agents, employees, or 
    invitees of the lessee, its agents, or any independent contractors or 
    subcontractors doing business with the lessee in connection with the 
    programs and activities of the [[Page 17800]] aforementioned military 
    installation, whether the same be caused in whole or in part by the 
    negligence or fault of the United States, its contractors, or 
    subcontractors, or any of its officers, agents, or employees and 
    whether such claims might be sustained under a theory of strict or 
    absolute liability or otherwise.
    (b) Electromagnetic Emissions
        The lessee agrees to control its own electromagnetic emissions and 
    those of its agents, employees, invitees, independent contractors or 
    subcontractors emanating from individual designated defense warning 
    areas in accordance with requirements specified by the commander of the 
    command headquarters listed in the following table to the degree 
    necessary to prevent damage to, or unacceptable interference with, 
    Department of Defense flight, testing, or operational activities, 
    conducted within individual designated warning areas. Necessary 
    monitoring control, and coordination with the lessee, its agents, 
    employees, invitees, independent contractors or subcontractors, will be 
    effected by the commander of the appropriate onshore military 
    installation conducting operations in the particular warning area; 
    provided, however, that control of such electromagnetic emissions shall 
    in no instance prohibit all manner of electromagnetic communication 
    during any period of time between a lessee, its agents, employees, 
    invitees, independent contractors or subcontractors and onshore 
    facilities.
    (c) Operational
        The lessee, when operating or causing to be operated on its behalf, 
    boat, ship, or aircraft traffic into the individual designated warning 
    areas shall enter into an agreement with the commander of the 
    individual command headquarters listed in the following list, upon 
    utilizing an individual designated warning area prior to commencing 
    such traffic. Such an agreement will provide for positive control of 
    boats, ships, and aircraft operating into the warning areas at all 
    times.

    14. Information to Lessees
        (a) Supplemental Documents. For copies of the various documents 
    identified as available from the Gulf of Mexico regional office, 
    prospective bidders should contact the Public Information Unit, 
    Minerals Management Service, 1201 Elmwood Park Boulevard, New Orleans, 
    Louisiana 70123-2394, either in writing or by telephone at (504) 736-
    2519 or (800) 200-GULF. For additional information, contact the 
    Regional Supervisor for Leasing and Environment at that address or by 
    telephone at (504) 736-2759.
        (b) Navigation Safety. Operations on some of the blocks offered for 
    lease may be restricted by designation of fairways, precautionary 
    zones, anchorages, safety zones, or traffic separation schemes 
    established by the U.S. Coast Guard pursuant to the Ports and Waterways 
    Safety Act (33 U.S.C. 1221 et seq.), as amended, and the Deepwater Port 
    Act (33 U.S.C. 1501-1524). Bidders are advised that the U.S. Coast 
    Guard published a notice of final rulemaking expanding the existing 
    safety zone around the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) (59 FR 17480 
    published on April 13, 1994).
        U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) permits are required for 
    construction of any artificial islands, installations, and other 
    devices permanently or temporarily attached to the seabed located on 
    the OCS in accordance with section 4(e) of the OCS Lands Act, as 
    amended.
        For additional information, prospective bidders should contact Lt. 
    Commander Ken Parris, Assistant Marine Port Safety Officer, 8th Coast 
    Guard District, Hale Boggs Federal Building, New Orleans, Louisiana 
    70130, (504) 589-6901. For COE information, prospective bidders should 
    contact Mr. Ron Ventola CELMN-OD-S, Post Office Box 60267, New Orleans, 
    Louisiana 70160-0267, (504) 862-2255.
        (c) Offshore Pipelines. Bidders are advised that the Department of 
    the Interior and the Department of Transportation have entered into a 
    Memorandum of Understanding, dated May 6, 1976, concerning the design, 
    installation, operation, and maintenance of offshore pipelines. Bidders 
    should consult both Departments for regulations applicable to offshore 
    pipelines.
        (d) 8-Year Leases. Bidders are advised that any lease issued for a 
    term of 8 years will be cancelled after 5 years, following notice 
    pursuant to the OCS Lands Act, as amended, if within the initial 5-year 
    period of the lease, the drilling of an exploratory well has not been 
    initiated; or if initiated, the well has not been drilled in 
    conformance with the approved exploration plan criteria; or if there is 
    not a suspension of operations in effect. Bidders are referred to 30 
    CFR 256.37 and the MMS Gulf of Mexico OCS Region Letter to Lessees of 
    February 13, 1995.
        (e) Affirmative Action. Revision of Department of Labor regulations 
    on affirmative action requirements for Government contractors 
    (including lessees) has been deferred, pending review of those 
    regulations (see Federal Register of August 25, 1981, at 46 FR 42865 
    and 42968). Should changes become effective at any time before the 
    issuance of leases resulting from this sale, section 18 of the lease 
    form (Form MMS-2005, March 1986), would be deleted from leases 
    resulting from this sale. In addition, existing stocks of the 
    affirmative action forms described in paragraph 5 of this Notice 
    contain language that would be superseded by the revised regulations at 
    41 CFR 60-1.5(a)(1) and 60-1.7(a)(1). Submission of Form MMS-2032 (June 
    1985) and Form MMS-2033 (June 1985) will not invalidate an otherwise 
    acceptable bid, and the revised regulations' requirements will be 
    deemed to be part of the existing affirmative action forms.
        (f) Ordnance Disposal Areas. Bidders are cautioned as to the 
    existence of two inactive ordnance disposal areas in the Mississippi 
    Canyon area, shown on the map described in paragraph 13(a). These areas 
    were used to dispose of ordnance of unknown quantity and composition. 
    Water depths range from approximately 750 to 1,525 meters. Bottom 
    sediments in both areas are soft, consisting of silty clays. 
    Exploration and development activities in these areas require 
    precautions commensurate with the potential hazards.
        The U.S. Air Force has released an indeterminable amount of 
    unexploded ordnance throughout Eglin Water Test Areas 1 and 3. The 
    exact location of the unexploded ordnance is unknown, and lessees are 
    advised that all lease blocks included in this sale within these water 
    test areas should be considered [[Page 17801]] potentially hazardous to 
    drilling and platform and pipeline placement.
        (g) Communications Towers. The Department of Defense, U.S. Air 
    Force, has installed seven military communications towers in the 
    Chandeleur/Mobile/Viosca Knoll area which support Air Combat 
    Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI). This project may impose certain 
    restrictions on oil and gas activities in that area since no activity 
    can take place within 500 feet of a tower site, and unobstructed lines 
    of sight must be maintained between towers. The seven towers are 
    located within Mobile, Blocks 769, 819, and 990; Viosca Knoll, Block 
    116; Chandeleur Area, Blocks 33 and 61; and Chandeleur Area, East 
    Addition, Block 39. Information and maps of the specific locations and 
    line of sight crossings for ACMI towers may be obtained from Mr. 
    Wallace Williams, Minerals Management Service, (504) 736-2772.
        (h) Archaeological Resources. Bidders are advised that a Final Rule 
    regarding archaeological resources was published in the Federal 
    Register on October 21, 1994 (59 FR 53091), granting specific authority 
    to each MMS Regional Director to require archaeological surveys and 
    reports (under 30 CFR 250, 256, 260, and 281) and the submission of 
    these reports to the Regional Director prior to exploration, 
    development and production, or installation of lease-term or right-of-
    way pipelines. MMS Notice To Lessees (NTL) 91-02 (Outer Continental 
    Shelf Archaeological Resources Requirements for the Gulf of Mexico OCS 
    Region) published in the Federal Register on December 20, 1991 (56 FR 
    66076) effective February 17, 1992, specifies survey methodology, 
    linespacing, and archaeological report writing requirements for lessees 
    and operators in the Gulf of Mexico Region.
        Two additional documents are available from the MMS Gulf of Mexico 
    Region Public Information Office (see paragraph 14(a)):
        ``List of Lease Blocks Within The High-Probability Area For 
    Historic Period Shipwrecks On The OCS'' dated January 30, 1995. This 
    list supersedes the list promulgated by the MMS Letter to Lessees (LTL) 
    of November 30, 1990.
        ``List of Lease Blocks Within The High-Probability Area For Pre-
    Historic Archaeological Resources On The OCS'' dated January 30, 1995.
        Implementation of this Final Rule and NTL 91-02 obviates the need 
    for the Protection of Archaeological Resources Stipulation required in 
    previous leases.
        (i) Proposed Rigs to Reefs. Bidders are advised that there are OCS 
    artificial reef sites and planning areas for the Gulf of Mexico. These 
    are generally located in water depths of less than 200 meters. While 
    all existing and proposed sites require a permit from the U.S. Army 
    Corps of Engineers, this ``Rigs to Reefs'' program is implemented 
    through State sponsorship through the following State Coordinators:
    
    Alabama Mr. Walter M. Tatum, (205) 968-7577
    Louisiana Mr. Rick Kasprzac, (504) 765-2375
    Mississippi Mr. Mike Buchanan, (601) 385-5860
    Texas Ms. Jan Coulbertson, (713) 474-2811
    
        For more information on artificial reef sites, prospective bidders 
    should contact the above listed State Artificial Reef Coordinators for 
    their areas of interest.
        (j) Right of Use and Easement for Chandeleur Blocks 27 and 30. 
    Bidders are advised that a right of use and easement has been granted 
    for portions of Chandeleur Area Blocks 27 and 30 for gas storage 
    purposes. The area is generally on the southernmost quarter of the 
    federal portion of Chandeleur Area, Block 27 and the W1/2 NW1/4; NW1/4 
    SW1/4 portion of Chandeleur Area, Block 30. For additional information, 
    contact the MMS Gulf of Mexico Regional Supervisor for Production and 
    Development at (504) 736-2675.
        (k) Proposed Lightering Zones. Bidders are advised that the U.S. 
    Coast Guard has proposed designating certain areas of the Gulf of 
    Mexico (60 FR 1958 of January 5, 1995), as lightering zones for the 
    purpose of permitting single hull vessels to off-load oil within the 
    U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Such designation may have implications 
    for oil and gas operations in the areas. Additional information may be 
    obtained from Lieutenant Commander Stephen Kantz, Project Manager, Oil 
    Pollution Act (OPA 90) Staff, at (202) 267-6740.
        (1) Statement Regarding Certain Geophysical Data. Pursuant to 
    Sections 18 and 26 of the OCS Lands Act as amended, and the regulations 
    issued thereunder, MMS has a right of access to certain geophysical 
    data and information obtained or developed as a result of operations on 
    the OCS. MMS is sensitive to the concerns expressed by industry 
    regarding the confidentiality of individual company work products and 
    client lists and the potential burden of responding to a myriad of 
    requests from MMS pertaining to the existence and availability of these 
    types of reprocessed geophysical data. To resolve the concerns of both 
    industry and MMS with respect to such cases, MMS has worked with 
    industry to develop the requirements contained within paragraph 3(b) 
    Method of Bidding above. These requirements are being imposed on a 
    trial basis to determine their effectiveness and are subject to 
    modification in future sales.
        The details of this requirement are specified in the document 
    ``Trial Procedures for Access to Certain Geophysical Data in the Gulf 
    of Mexico'', which is provided in the Sale Notice package and which is 
    available upon request from the MMS Gulf of Mexico Region Public 
    Information Office (see paragraph 14(a)). In brief, these requirements 
    include:
        1. In the period for ninety (90) days after the sale, bidders will 
    allow MMS to inspect such data within seven (7) days of a written 
    request from MMS, and upon further written request will transmit to 
    MMS, within ten (10) working days, such data. After this ninety day 
    period, a response time of thirty (30) days following an MMS written 
    request will be considered adequate.
        2. Successful bidders must retain such data for three (3) years 
    after the sale, and unsuccessful bidders must retain such data for six 
    (6) months after the sale, for possible acquisition by MMS.
        For the six (6) month period after the sale, based on a review of 
    the allowable cost of data reproduction to MMS for three-dimensional 
    and two-dimensional data sets, the company providing the reprocessed 
    data will be reimbursed at a rate of $480 per block or part thereof for 
    three-dimensional data and $2 per line mile for two-dimensional data. 
    Afterwards, reimbursement will be subject to the terms and conditions 
    of 30 CFR 251.13(a).
        All geophysical data and information obtained and reviewed by MMS 
    pursuant to these procedures shall be held in the strictest confidence 
    and treated as proprietary in accordance with the applicable terms of 
    30 CFR 251.14.
        For additional information, contact the MMS Gulf of Mexico Regional 
    Office of Resource Evaluation at (504) 736-2720.
