renewable energy leases and subsequent
site characterization activities
(geophysical, geotechnical,
archaeological, and biological surveys
needed to develop specific project
proposals, which will be subject to
subsequent environmental review, on
those leases) in an identified Wind
Energy Area (WEA) on the OCS offshore
Massachusetts (MA). This EA also
considers the reasonably foreseeable
environmental impacts associated with
the approval of site assessment activities
(including the installation and operation
of meteorological towers and buoys) on
the leases that may be issued. This EA
does not consider issues related to
possible later project development. The
purpose of this notice is to inform the
public of the availability of the EA for
review and to solicit public comments
on the EA.
BOEM will conduct public
information meetings on Tuesday,
November 13, 2012, in Boston and New
Bedford, Wednesday, November 14,
2012, in Vineyard Haven on Martha’s
Vineyard, and Thursday, November 15,
2012, on Nantucket, in Massachusetts to
explain the proposed activities and
provide additional opportunities for
public input on the EA. Details on the
meeting locations and times, as well as
the EA, can be found online at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 6, 2012, BOEM published a
Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EA,
which requested public comments on
important environmental issues and
alternatives to be considered in the EA;
measures (e.g., limitations on activities
based on technology, distance from
shore, or timing) that would minimize
impacts to environmental resources; and
socioeconomic conditions that could
result from leasing, site characterization,
and site assessment in and around the
Call Area (77 FR 5830). The Call Area
is located offshore Massachusetts. Issues
and impacts associated with potential
project development will be considered
in subsequent environmental analyses
after the submittal of project proposals,
if any. Comments received in response
to the NOI can be viewed at: https://
www.regulations.gov by searching for
Docket ID BOEM–2011–0116.
On May 30, 2012, BOEM announced
the identification of the MA WEA,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
12:56 Nov 01, 2012
Jkt 229001
which excluded high value sea duck
habitat and some fishing grounds in the
Call Area. The proposed action
considered by this EA, under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), is
leasing and approval of site assessment
plans for the entire WEA. BOEM also
identified alternatives to the proposed
action that would exclude certain
portions of the WEA from leasing
because of environmental and cultural
concerns. Additional information on the
MA area identification process can be
found at: https://www.boem.gov/
Renewable-Energy-Program/StateActivities/Massachusetts.aspx.
BOEM is seeking public input on the
EA, including comments on the
completeness and adequacy of the
environmental analysis and on the
measures and operating conditions
described in the EA and designed to
reduce or eliminate potential
environmental impacts. BOEM will
consider public comments on the EA in
determining whether to issue a Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI), or
conduct additional analysis under
NEPA.

agencies, tribal governments, and other
interested parties are requested to

EA in one of the following ways:
