holding a single lease sale would not significantly change the overall activity levels in the GOM i.e., on blocks leased in previous lease sales and the associated environmental impacts in the near term.
Lease StipulationsTen lease stipulations have been adopted for Lease Sale 257. The 2018 GOM
Supplemental EIS describes these 10
lease stipulations, which will be included in the Final Notice of Sale Package.
In the Record of Decision for the 20172022 Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing: Proposed Final Program, the Secretary of the Interior required the protection of biologically sensitive underwater features in all Gulf of Mexico oil and gas lease sales as programmatic mitigation; therefore, BOEM is adopting the Topographic Features Stipulation and Live Bottom Stipulation and applying them to designated lease blocks in proposed Lease Sale 257.
The additional eight lease stipulations considered for proposed regionwide Lease Sale 257 are the Military Areas Stipulation; the Evacuation Stipulation;
the Coordination Stipulation; the Blocks South of Baldwin County, Alabama, Stipulation; the Protected Species Stipulation; the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea Royalty Payment Stipulation; the Below Seabed Operations Stipulation; and the Stipulation on the Agreement between the United States of America and the United Mexican States Concerning Transboundary Hydrocarbon Reservoirs in the Gulf of Mexico. The Protected Species Stipulation has been updated due to the completion of the Endangered Species Act consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the issuance of a Biological Opinion in March 2020, addressing OCS
oiland gas-related activities in the Gulf of Mexico, including this lease sale. As noted, BOEM is adopting these ten stipulations as lease terms where applicable and they are enforceable as part of the lease.
Further, Appendix B of the Gulf of Mexico OCS Oil and Gas Lease Sales:
20172022; Gulf of Mexico Lease Sales 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 256, 257, 259, and 261Final Multisale Environmental Impact Statement provides a list and description of standard post-lease conditions of approval that BOEM or the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement may require as a result of their plan and permit review processes for the Gulf of Mexico OCS region.
After careful consideration, BOEM
selected the preferred alternative

Alternative A from the 2018 GOM
Supplemental EIS, with certain additional blocks excluded due to their status, for proposed Lease Sale 257.
BOEM is also adopting 10 lease stipulations and all practicable means of mitigation at the lease sale stage. The preferred alternative meets the purpose of and need for the proposed action, as identified in the 2018 GOM
Supplemental EIS, and provides for orderly resource development with protection of human, marine, and coastal environments while also ensuring that the public receives a fair market value for these resources and that free-market competition is maintained.
