archaeological, and biological surveys),
and site assessment activities (including
the installation and operation of a
meteorological tower and/or buoys) on
the Atlantic OCS offshore New York.
The EA considers the potential impacts
of the proposed action and an analysis
of reasonable alternatives to the
proposed action (excluding the area
within two nautical miles of the traffic
separation schemes, and no action).
This Notice of Availability (NOA) also
serves to announce the beginning of the
public comment period on the EA. The
EA and associated information are
available on BOEM’s Web site at https://
www.boem.gov/New-York/.
Should a lessee propose to construct
a commercial wind facility through
submission of a Construction and
Operations Plan, BOEM would conduct
a separate site- and project-specific
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) analysis, likely an
Environmental Impact Statement, and
would provide additional opportunities
for public involvement pursuant to
NEPA and the CEQ regulations at 40
CFR parts 1500–1508.
