  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.
