Comments: BOEM conducted an evaluation of an unsolicited request to lease Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) minerals in an area offshore American Samoa. This Request for Information and Interest (RFI) requests information and comments on and indications of interest in the leasing of OCS minerals in and around the RFI Area. BOEM will consider information and interest received in response to this RFI when considering whether to proceed with additional steps leading to the offer of OCS mineral lease(s) on the OCS offshore American Samoa. Those interested in providing comments or information should provide the information requested in section 5, “Types of Information and Comments Requested,” of this RFI. Those interested in leasing in and around the RFI Area for OCS mineral development should provide the information described in section 6, “Requested Information for Indications of Interest.” BOEM may or may not offer a lease for commercial OCS mineral development offshore American Samoa after further consultations, public participation, and environmental analyses.
