Book ·
OSTI ID:5152718
Hearings were held in San Francisco and Washington on the scientific requirements for proposed Department of Interior environmental studies and assessments of the Outer Continental Shelf. The proposal represents a shift in federal assessments, and scientists and researchers invited to testify were asked to evaluate its implications. At issue was the administration's efforts to expedite leasing procedures. Part II of the hearing record covers the testimony of 22 witnesses speaking as individuals and as participants of panels. The witnesses represented state and national agencies, oil companies, and environmental groups. Four appendices with additional statements and supporting material follow the testimony. (DCK)
