Cooperating Agency: BOEM invites other Federal agencies and State, Tribal, and local governments to consider becoming cooperating agencies in the preparation of the PEIS. We invite qualified government entities to inquire about cooperating agency status for the PEIS. Following the guidelines from the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), qualified agencies and governments are those with ‘‘jurisdiction by law’’ or ‘‘special expertise.’’ Potential cooperating agencies should consider their authority and capacity to assume the responsibilities of a cooperating agency, and note that an agency’s role in the environmental analysis neither enlarges nor diminishes the final decision making authority of any other agency involved in the NEPA process. Upon request, BOEM will provide potential cooperating agencies with a written summary of ground rules for cooperating agencies, including time schedules and critical action dates, milestones, responsibilities, scope and detail of cooperating agencies’ contributions, and the availability of pre-decisional information. BOEM anticipates this summary will form the basis for a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). Agencies should also consider the ‘‘Factors for Determining Cooperating Agency Status’’ in Attachment 1 to CEQ’s January 30, 2002, Memorandum for the Heads of Federal Agencies: Cooperating Agencies in Implementing the Procedural Requirements of the NEPA. A copy of this document is available at:https:// ceq.hss.doe.gov/nepa/regs/cooperating/ cooperatingagenciesmemorandum.html and/or https://ceq.hss.doe.gov/nepa/ regs/cooperating/ cooperatingagencymemofactors.html BOEM and NMFS, as co-agencies, will not provide financial assistance to any other cooperating agencies. Even if an organization is not an official cooperating agency, opportunities exist to provide information and comments during the normal public input phases of the NEPA/PEIS process. If further information about cooperating agencies is needed, please contact Mr. Gary Goeke at (504) 736–3233.
