SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority

    This notice is published pursuant to subsection 8(p) of the Outer 
Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1337(p)), added by section 
388 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and the implementing regulations 
at 30 CFR 585.116. This regulatory provision states that the Director, 
``may . . . solicit information from industry and other relevant 
stakeholders (including State and local agencies), as necessary, to 
evaluate the state of the offshore renewable energy industry, including 
the identification of potential challenges or obstacles to its 
continued development. Such requests for information may relate to the 
identification of environmental, technical, regulatory, or economic 
matters that promote or detract from continued development of renewable 
energy technologies on the OCS. From the information received, the 
Director may evaluate certain refinements to the OCS Alternative Energy 
Program that promote development of the industry in a safe and 
environmentally responsible manner, and that ensure fair value for use 
of the Nation's OCS.''

Purpose

    Since BOEM promulgated its renewable energy regulations in 2009, 
BOEM has made substantial progress in planning and leasing for 
renewable energy development on the OCS. BOEM has issued nine 
commercial wind energy leases, generated more than $14.5 million in 
winning bids from offshore wind lease sales, and established 13 
intergovernmental task forces with Federal, State, local, and tribal 
partners to assist in identifying areas for potential renewable energy 
development.
    Now that BOEM's Renewable Energy Program has gained experience in 
implementing its regulations, it is appropriate to evaluate and assess 
our existing processes. BOEM believes stakeholder feedback is crucial 
to this effort. To that end, BOEM invites comments and feedback on any 
aspects of BOEM's Renewable Energy Program that our governmental 
partners, the offshore renewable energy industry, and other affected 
stakeholders have found to be particularly effective. At the same time, 
BOEM is also interested in constructive criticism and feedback. 
Therefore, BOEM requests recommendations for improving aspects of our 
program that stakeholders believe to be ineffective or unnecessarily 
burdensome, and requests descriptions of the benefits those program 
changes would create. BOEM will use the information submitted to inform 
our strategic planning efforts and in determining whether and how we 
should change our existing renewable energy processes, including, if 
warranted, our regulations.

wish to protect the confidentiality of such information, clearly mark 
it and request that BOEM treat it as confidential. BOEM will not 
disclose such information, except as required by FOIA. Please label
