     We appreciate the opportunity to appear before this Subcommittee

to discuss some of the issues related to accelerated Outer Continental

Shelf (OCS) development and the ability of the Department of the Interior 3.2

to administer such a program.

     Until recently, little considtration had been given to the impacts

of onshore commercial and industrial developments resulting from the

production of OCS areas. In this respect the situation is quite different

from that which has occurred with the development of the oil and gas

resources in the Gulf of Mexico, Development there has grown gradually over

a period of more than 20 years. It has been viewed, and has been accommodated

by the residents of the region, as an extension of an industrial development

already in the area.

     The new areas now under consideration--the Atlantic, the Gulf of Alaska,

and the Southern Pacific OCS areas--have no such history. The tensions that

are generated stem from the inevitable conflicts over proposals which would

change the character and lifestyle of a region to satisfy a national goal,

increased energy supply.
