Description
To inform development of the National Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Leasing Program, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) relies upon the Offshore Environmental Cost Model (OECM) to estimate the environmental and social costs (ESC) of program scenarios under consideration. This project was designed to update model data and refine the OECM’s methods for estimating several categories of ESC. These updates and refinements will help ensure that the OECM provides policymakers with accurate estimates of the ESC associated with program options. To supplement the information provided by the OECM, this project also includes the assessment of select ESC not captured by the model.
