WASHINGTON – The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement is extending the comment period for the public to review and provide feedback on the draft programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS) for Oil and Gas Decommissioning Activities on the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Comments will now be accepted through Jan. 10, 2023.
The PEIS will inform future decisions on decommissioning applications for offshore oil and gas platforms in federal waters off southern California. Twenty-three California OCS oil and gas platforms installed between the late 1960s and 1990s are subject to eventual decommissioning.
