ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment for MidAtlantic Wind Energy Areas. AGENCY: This notice is being published as an initial step for the purpose of involving Federal agencies, States, Tribes, local government, wind power developers, and the public in the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) ‘‘Smart from the Start’’ wind energy initiative, to identify areas for wind energy leasing proposals, and to provide public notice of the Department’s commitment to analyze the initiative’s siting, leasing and site assessment decisions in accordance with the DOI regulations implementing the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). On November 23, 2010, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced the ‘‘Smart from the Start’’ renewable energy initiative to accelerate responsible renewable wind energy development on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) by using appropriate identified areas, coordinated environmental studies, large-scale planning and expedited approval processes. This notice identifies Wind Energy Areas (WEAs) offshore New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) has found, in consultation with other Federal agencies and State Renewable Energy Task Forces, to be suitable for consideration for wind energy development. Authority: The NOI of the preparation of an environmental assessment is published pursuant to 43 CFR 46.305. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michelle Morin, BOEMRE Office of Offshore Alternative Energy Programs, 381 Elden Street, MS 4090, Herndon, Virginia 20170–4817, (703) 787–1722 or michelle.morin@boemre.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: 1. The OCS Renewable Energy Development Process There are generally three phases of renewable energy development on the VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:08 Feb 08, 2011 Jkt 223001 PO 00000 Frm 00082 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 OCS: lease issuance, site assessment, and construction and operation of a renewable energy facility. A renewable energy lease gives the lessee an exclusive right to apply for subsequent approvals that are necessary to advance to the next stage of the renewable energy development process. The second phase is BOEMRE review and approval of a site assessment plan (SAP) that allows the construction and installation of a meteorological tower and buoys. See 30 CFR 285.600-.601; .605-.618. After the lessee has collected sufficient site characterization and assessment data the lessee may submit a construction and operations plan (COP), approval of which would authorize the actual construction and operation of a renewable energy facility. See 30 CFR 285.620-.629. Although BOEMRE does not authorize site characterization activities (i.e., geological and geophysical surveys and core samples), a lessee must submit the results of such surveys before BOEMRE can consider approving its COP. See 30 CFR 285.626. By this notice, BOEMRE is soliciting comment on the environmental effects of reasonably foreseeable site characterization surveys that may be undertaken if BOEMRE issues a lease or leases in any or all of the identified WEAs. Consistent with the provisions of 43 CFR 46.305 (public involvement in the environmental assessment process), the Department ‘‘must, to the extent practicable, provide for public notification and public involvement when an Environmental Assessment is being prepared.’’ Although scoping is not required for the preparation of an environmental assessment (EA) (CEQ regulations at 40 CFR 1501.7 specifically reference the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)), the Department recognizes and encourages the use of scoping where appropriate as it does represent a form of public involvement. See 43 CFR 46.305(a)(2), 73 FR 61292, 61306 (Oct. 15, 2008). BOEMRE intends to prepare a regional EA to analyze the environmental impacts of issuing renewable energy leases in the geographic areas offshore the States of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia (identified as WEAs in Section 3 of this Notice), including environmental impacts associated site characterization activities that may take place on these leases. The EA will also analyze the potential environmental consequences associated with the approval of site assessment activities on these leases pursuant to the approval of SAPs. The proposed action is the issuance of renewable energy leases within the E:\FR\FM\09FEN1.SGM 09FEN1
