These proposed tasks include setting alternative development scenarios; assessing technology to determine facilities likely to be associated with each level of development; examining and learning from We experience of OCS-related socioeconomic effects elsewhere; assessing a variety of socioeconomic effects associated with the various levels of development; and assessing the potential for current or emerging institutions to control and mitigate effects. The Alaska SESP grew out of this early proposal.
