This sale, located in the South Atlantic Planning Area, is tentatively scheduled for October 1990. Information and nominations on oil and gas leasing, exploration, development, and production within the South Atlantic are sought from all interested parties. This information-gathering step is important for ensuring that all interests and concerns are communicated to the Department of the Interior for future decisions in the leasing process pursuant to the OCS Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1331-1356), and regula­ tions at 30 CFR 256. This Call does not indicate a preliminary decision to lease in the area described below.

The area available for nominations and comments consists of approximately 13,400 whole and partial blocks (about 75 million acres) and is outlined on the map at the end of this Call. To assist in focusing on promising acreage, the attached map outlines the Minerals Management Service (MMS) interpretation of the area of hydrocarbon potential. Although primary consideration will be given to those blocks included in the area of hydrocarbon potential, respondents may nominate and are asked to comment on any acreage within the entire Call area.
