This email thread documents NOPSEMA's assessment of a resubmitted Environment Plan (EP) for TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company's proposed 3D multi-client marine seismic survey in the Otway Basin, Commonwealth waters off Victoria and Tasmania. The correspondence confirms that document legibility issues have been resolved and updates the activity description and maps on NOPSEMA's website following a significant reduction in the survey area since the public comment period. The Active Source Area covers approximately 31,500 km² in water depths ranging from 97 to 5,650 metres, located approximately 45 kilometres from land at its closest point. The survey includes tie-in lines to existing geophysical data from previously drilled wells on the continental shelf requiring less than 24 hours of acquisition. NOPSEMA clarifies it does not publish each EP version during the assessment process, though revised documentation is made publicly available
