APPENDIX B 



Additional Literature Sources 



In addition to references cited in the text, there are many additional 

 sources of information describing or analyzing the effects of OCS develop- 

 ment. The most important works available at this time are listed in this 

 appendix. These sources are grouped into four categories: OCS facilities, 

 OCS lease sales, prior regional experience, and socio economic effects. 



OCS FACILITIES: This section includes descriptions of specific facilities 

 prepared by independent analysts. Promotional material prepared by the 

 industry is not included. 



OCS LEASE SALES: The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has 

 encouraged or required assessment of environmental effects of entire lease 

 sale areas. This scale of analysis includes large coastal regions within 

 which facilities to support offshore operations may locate. The sources 

 listed review potential OCS operations at this regional scale. 



REGIONAL EXPERIENCES: Coastal areas that have experienced offshore oil 

 exploration and production, and related onshore development offer useful 

 lessons to those areas that anticipate similar patterns of enterprise in 

 the future. These sources describe such experiences. 



SOCIO-ECONOMIC EFFECTS: Socio economic effects of energy-related develop- 

 ment, including location of large facilities in rural areas, has been 

 analyzed in a variety of studies. The sources listed review socio economic 

 effects specific to OCS development along with analagous non-OCS studies.
