ACTION: Notice of availability of a Draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM) is announcing the
availability of a Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (Draft
SEIS) for the Cape Wind Energy Project.
This supplement to the 2009 Final EIS
has been prepared in response to a 2016
remand order of the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia in
Public Employees for Environmental
Responsibility v. Hopper, 827 F.3d 1077
(D.C. Cir. 2016). This notice serves to
announce the beginning of the public
comment period on the Draft SEIS.
DATES: Comments must be submitted or
postmarked no later than May 15, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Proposed Action and Alternative
On July 5, 2016, the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit vacated the 2009 Cape Wind
Energy Project Final EIS and ordered
that BOEM: ‘‘supplement [the EIS] with
adequate geological surveys before Cape
Wind may begin construction.’’ Public
Employees for Environmental
Responsibility v. Hopper, 827 F.3d 1077,
1084 (D.C. Cir. 2016). The Court opined
that: ‘‘[w]ithout adequate geological
surveys, the [BOEM] cannot ‘ensure that
the seafloor [will be] able to support’
wind turbines.’’ Id. at 1083. While the
Court found that: ‘‘[BOEM] therefore
had violated NEPA (National
Environmental Policy Act)’’ the Court
noted that ‘‘. . . [it] does not necessarily
mean that the project must be halted or
that Cape Wind must redo the
regulatory approval process.’’ Id. at
1083–4. The Court explicitly left
undisturbed BOEM’s 2010 decision to
issue the lease and BOEM’s 2011
decision to approve the Construction
and Operations Plan (COP). Id. at 1084.
In light of the remand order and the
remaining valid lease and COP, only
two alternatives remain relevant to the
court’s remand: The Proposed Action
(affirming BOEM’s issuance of the
existing lease), and the No Action
Alternative (requiring BOEM to rescind
lease issuance). In its Draft SEIS, BOEM
examines the available geological survey
data, including the geotechnical data
and reports submitted to BOEM since
the 2009 Final EIS, and any other
relevant data that relates to the
adequacy of the seafloor to support
wind turbines in the lease area.
