The programmatic environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of structure-removal activities on the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) has been completed. The evaluation encompasses all structure-removal operations (i.e., platform removals and well, pipeline, and mooring severances) under the regulatory authority of the Minerals Management Service (MMS). The EA has resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). Based on this EA, we have concluded that the structure-removal activities evaluated in the EA will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required.
