Statistics on Central Gulf of Mexico Sale 152, which was held on
May 10, 1995, are omitted from this table pending the completion
of the bid evaluation analysis.

The responsibility for administering the Atlantic leases now
rests with the Gulf of Mexico Region. 

*  Note that the reoffering Sale RS-2, held on August 5, 1982,
offered oil and gas tracts on the Alaska, Atlantic, and Pacific
OCS and is recorded as a separate sale within each of those
Regions.  However, Sale RS-2 is considered a single sale in the
overall statistical summary on OCS leasing.
