Identify all
the effects that would likely result if the activities described
in the proposal were conducted. For the purposes of the CER
evaluation, the proposal is defined as the activities described
by the applicant and the mitigation provided by lease
stipulations, regulations, Notices to lessees, other Federal and
State environmental laws, and any additional specific measures
committed to by the lessee/operator in writing prior to
completion of the CER.

Determine
whether the effects associated with the proposal may meet any of
the
listed
Extraordinary Circumstances.
If the CER determines that the proposal may meet any of the
extraordinary circumstances, then an Environmental Assessment
