[Docket No. BOEM–2011–0097]
Commercial Leasing for Wind Power
on the Outer Continental Shelf
Offshore Massachusetts—Call for
Information and Nominations
Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM), Interior.
ACTION: Call for Information and
Nominations.
AGENCY:
BOEM invites the submission
of nominations for commercial leases
that would allow a lessee to propose the
construction of a wind energy project on
the OCS offshore Massachusetts and to
develop a project if approved after
further environmental review. On
December 29, 2010, BOEM issued the
Massachusetts Request for Interest (RFI)
requesting submission of nominations
and other information by February 28,
2011 (75 FR 82055). In response to
requests from several interested and
affected parties, including the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
BOEM reopened the comment period for
the RFI on March 17, 2011 (76 FR
14681), asking for submissions by April
18, 2011. BOEM received 11
nominations of interest from 10
individual entities responding to the
RFI, as well as 247 comments from
members of the public and state and
Federal agencies. On May 2, 2011,
BOEM announced it would reduce the
area identified in the RFI based on
comments received from the fishing
community, the Massachusetts
Executive Office of Energy and
Environmental Affairs, and the
Massachusetts congressional delegation.
BOEM further refined the area that is
under consideration for this Call for
Information and Nominations (Call)
based on consultation with the BOEM
Massachusetts Renewable Energy Task
Force, as described in the ‘‘Development
of the Call Area’’ section later in this
notice. The area that is under
consideration for this Call is referred to
herein as the ‘‘Call Area.’’
Although this announcement is not
itself a leasing announcement, the Call
Area described herein, or portions
thereof, may be made available for
future leasing. BOEM will use the
responses to this Call to gauge specific
interest in acquiring commercial wind
leases in some or all of the Call Area,
