accepted pursuant to 30 CFR 585.515,
and the provisionally winning bidder’s
payment has been processed.
BOEM may extend the 10 business
day deadline for executing the lease on
the bidder’s behalf, filing the required
financial assurance, and/or paying the
balance of the bonus bid, but only if
BOEM determines the delay was caused
by events beyond the provisionally
winning bidder’s control.
If the provisionally winning bidder
does not meet these requirements or
otherwise fails to comply with
applicable regulations or the terms of
the FSN, BOEM reserves the right not to
issue the lease to that bidder. In such a
case, the provisionally winning bidder
will forfeit its bid deposit.
Within 45 days of the date that the
provisionally winning bidder receives
copies of the lease, it must pay the first
year’s rent using the pay.gov Renewable
Energy Initial Rental Payment form
available at: https://pay.gov/paygov/
forms/formInstance.html?agency
FormId=27797604.
Subsequent annual rent payments
must be made following the detailed

regulations at 43 CFR part 42, subpart C,
an OCS renewable energy lessee must
comply with the Department of the
Interior’s non-procurement debarment
and suspension regulations at 2 CFR 180
and 1400. The lessee must also
communicate this requirement to
persons with whom the lessee does
business relating to this lease, by
including this term as a condition in
their contracts and other transactions.
Force Majeure: The Program Manager
of BOEM’s Office of Renewable Energy
Programs has the discretion to change
any auction details specified in the FSN,
including the date and time, in case of
a force majeure event that the Program
Manager deems may interfere with a fair
and proper lease sale process. Such
events may include, but are not limited
to: Natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes,
hurricanes, floods, blizzards), wars,
riots, acts of terrorism, fire, strikes, civil
disorder or other events of a similar
nature. In case of such events, BOEM
will notify all qualified bidders via
email, phone, or through the BOEM
Web site at: https://www.boem.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent with section 9(f) of the
Reclamation Project Act of 1939, and the rules and regulations
published in 52 FR 11954, April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22), Reclamation

used, as appropriate, to provide local publicity. The public
participation procedures do not apply to proposed contracts for the
sale of surplus or interim irrigation water for a term of 1 year or
less. Either of the contracting parties may invite the public to
observe contract proceedings. All public participation procedures will
be coordinated with those involved in complying with the National

regions. When contract negotiations are completed, and prior to
execution, each proposed contract form must be approved by the
Secretary of the Interior, or pursuant to delegated or redelegated
authority, the Commissioner of Reclamation or one of the regional
directors. In some instances, congressional review and approval of a
report, water rate, or other terms and conditions of the contract may
be involved.
Public participation in and receipt of comments on contract
proposals will be facilitated by adherence to the following procedures:
1. Only persons authorized to act on behalf of the contracting

proposal.
2. Advance notice of meetings or hearings will be furnished to

public hearings will be reviewed and summarized by the appropriate
regional office for use by the contract approving authority.
6. Copies of specific proposed contracts may be obtained from the
appropriate regional director or his or her designated public contact
as they become available for review and comment.
7. In the event modifications are made in the form of a proposed
contract, the appropriate regional director shall determine whether
republication of the notice and/or extension of the comment period is
necessary.
Factors considered in making such a determination shall include,
but are not limited to, (i) the significance of the modification, and
(ii) the degree of public interest which has been expressed over the
course of the negotiations. At a minimum, the regional director will
furnish revised contracts to all parties who requested the contract in
response to the initial public notice.
