Overview:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) will hold a series of public hearings in early December to provide an opportunity for Alaskans to comment on the Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for the Proposed Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2012-2017. The Alaska hearings will gauge public opinion on the development of offshore oil and gas resources. These hearings are important and could well determine Alaska’s economic course for decades to come. Economic studies have confirmed OCS development has the potential to sustain Alaska’s economy for generations.
