ACTION: Notice of availability of a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. AGENCY: The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is announcing the availability of a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Draft SEIS) for the Cape Wind Energy Project. This supplement to the 2009 Final EIS has been prepared in response to a 2016 remand order of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility v. Hopper, 827 F.3d 1077 (D.C. Cir. 2016). This notice serves to announce the beginning of the public comment period on the Draft SEIS. DATES: Comments must be submitted or postmarked no later than May 15, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. Proposed Action and Alternative On July 5, 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the 2009 Cape Wind Energy Project Final EIS and ordered that BOEM: ‘‘supplement [the EIS] with adequate geological surveys before Cape Wind may begin construction.’’ Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility v. Hopper, 827 F.3d 1077, 1084 (D.C. Cir. 2016). The Court opined that: ‘‘[w]ithout adequate geological surveys, the [BOEM] cannot ‘ensure that the seafloor [will be] able to support’ wind turbines.’’ Id. at 1083. While the Court found that: ‘‘[BOEM] therefore had violated NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act)’’ the Court noted that ‘‘. . . [it] does not necessarily mean that the project must be halted or that Cape Wind must redo the regulatory approval process.’’ Id. at 1083–4. The Court explicitly left undisturbed BOEM’s 2010 decision to issue the lease and BOEM’s 2011 decision to approve the Construction and Operations Plan (COP). Id. at 1084. In light of the remand order and the remaining valid lease and COP, only two alternatives remain relevant to the court’s remand: The Proposed Action (affirming BOEM’s issuance of the existing lease), and the No Action Alternative (requiring BOEM to rescind lease issuance). In its Draft SEIS, BOEM examines the available geological survey data, including the geotechnical data and reports submitted to BOEM since the 2009 Final EIS, and any other relevant data that relates to the adequacy of the seafloor to support wind turbines in the lease area. 2.
