Sep 24, 2009· Comment from Leila Monroe, Natural Resources Defense Council· MMS-2008-OMM-0045-7422

On behalf of the Natural Resources Defense Council ("NRDC") and our more than 1.2 million members and online activists, we respectfully submit to the Minerals Management Service of the Department of Interior, these comments on the Draft Proposed Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program, 2010-2015. With these comments, we present our view that the Draft Program should be withdrawn because it: 1.) Is contrary to and undermines President Obama's June 12, 2009 Executive Memorandum and the resulting Interim Report of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force, tasked with developing a National Ocean Policy and framework for comprehensive marine spatial planning ; 2.) Undermines our national imperative to rapidly transition to a clean energy future focused on renewable energy and energy efficiency; and 3.) Is substantially deficient because it lacks current or comprehensive information about impacts beyond those to the shoreline and thus MMS has failed to properly analyze environmental impacts under Section18(a) of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.
