SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Background DOE and Hawaii entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in January 2008 that established a longterm partnership to transform the way in which energy efficiency and renewable energy resources are planned and used in the State. The MOU established working groups to address key sectors of the energy economy (e.g., electricity, end-use efficiency, transportation, and fuels), which led to the establishment of the HCEI. When it was established, HCEI set a goal of meeting 70 percent of Hawaii’s energy needs by 2030 through energy efficiency and renewable energy (collectively ‘‘clean energy’’). DOE has helped advance Hawaii’s clean energy goals by providing technical research and analysis, staff involvement, and funding. In September 2014, DOE and the State of Hawaii signed another MOU to reaffirm their commitment to the HCEI. Purpose and Need for Agency Action The purpose and need for DOE’s action is based on the 2008 and 2014 MOUs with the State of Hawaii that established the long-term HCEI partnership. Consistent with these MOUs, DOE’s purpose and need is to VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:47 Sep 17, 2015 Jkt 235001 support the State of Hawaii in its efforts to meet 70 percent of the State’s energy needs by 2030 through clean energy. DOE’s primary purpose in preparing this PEIS, which is not required under NEPA, is to provide information to the public, Federal and State agencies, and future energy developers on the potential environmental impacts of a wide range of energy efficiency activities and renewable energy technologies that could be used to support the HCEI. This environmental information could be used by decisionmakers, developers, and regulators in determining the best activities and technologies to meet future energy needs. The public could use this PEIS to better understand the types of potential impacts associated with the various technologies. Proposed Action DOE’s Proposed Action is to develop guidance that it can use in making decisions about future funding or other actions to support the State of Hawaii in achieving the HCEI’s goal. For the Hawaii Clean Energy PEIS, DOE and the State of Hawaii identified 31 clean energy technologies and activities associated with potential future actions and grouped them into five clean energy categories: • Energy efficiency, • Distributed renewable energy technologies, • Utility-scale renewable energy technologies, • Alternative vehicle fuels and modes, and • Electrical transmission and distribution. For each activity or technology, the PEIS identifies potential impacts to 17 environmental resource areas and potential best management practices that could be used to minimize or prevent those potential environmental impacts. On April 18, 2014, DOE published in the Federal Register its notice of availability for the Hawaii Clean Energy Draft PEIS (79 FR 21909). DOE’s NOA invited the public to comment on the Draft PEIS during a 90-day period that ended on July 17, 2014. DOE held public hearings in Lihue, Kailua-Kona, Hilo, Kahului, Kaunakakai, Lanai City, Honolulu, and Kaneohe from May 12 to May 22, 2014. Comments received during the public comment period were addressed in a ‘‘Comment-Response Document,’’ which is Chapter 9 of the Final PEIS. Comments received after the close of the comment period also were considered. DOE does not expect to issue a record of decision.
