5 May Interior, commenting to the Minerals Management 



Service on the "Chukchi Sea Sale 109 Draft 

 Environmental Impact Statement" ; noting that 

 the Statement provides a concise and useful 

 review of relevant information on marine mammal 

 species and a reasonably thorough review of 

 the types and possible effects of oil spills 

 and activities that could result from the 

 proposed action; suggesting that the Statement 

 be modified to: (a) emphasize the importance 

 of post-sale monitoring efforts; (b) consider 

 the possibility that activities resulting from 

 the Sale could cause marine mammals to move 

 into already occupied areas, thus increasing 

 animal densities in those areas to level which 

 will damage or deplete food supplies; (c) con- 

 sider cumulative impacts on marine mammals
