capacity. Security will focus on
cybersecurity in the context of
emergency communications. Finally,
Equipment questions focuses on the
types of equipment or systems used.
These SNS elements and sub-elements
set forth the DHS OEC assessment
framework. Collectively, will enable
DHS OEC to fulfill its governing
authority and identify a baseline of
nationwide emergency communications
capabilities.
This is a new information collection.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

AGENCY:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM) is announcing the
availability of a Final Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for evaluating potential environmental
effects of geological and geophysical
(G&G) activities in OCS waters of the
GOM. The Final Programmatic EIS
analyzes potential impacts of the
proposed action, provides an analysis of
reasonable alternatives to the proposed
action, and identifies BOEM’s preferred
alternative. The Final Programmatic EIS
considers G&G activities for BOEM’s
three programs, i.e., Oil and Gas,
Renewable Energy, and Marine
Minerals. These activities include, but
are not limited to, seismic surveys
(deep-penetration and high-resolution
geophysical), sidescan-sonar surveys,
electromagnetic surveys, and geological
and geochemical sampling. The Final
Programmatic EIS also evaluates
mitigation measures to reduce potential
impacts of G&G activities on marine
resources, such as sound impacts to
marine species and bottom-disturbance
impacts on benthic communities and
cultural resources.
The Final Programmatic EIS is
available on BOEM’s Web sites at https://
www.boem.gov/GOM-G-G-PEIS and
https://www.boem.gov/nepaprocess/.
BOEM will primarily distribute digital
copies of the Final Programmatic EIS on
compact discs. You may request a paper
copy or the location of a library with a
paper copy of the Final Programmatic
EIS from Mr. Greg Kozlowski by
telephone at (504) 736–2512 or by email
at greg.kozlowski@boem.gov.

Final Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement for the Cape Wind
Energy Project MMAA104000
Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability of a final
supplemental environmental impact
statement.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM) is announcing the
availability of a Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (Final
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
Circuit in Public Employees for
Environmental Responsibility v. Hopper
(see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for
details).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Michelle Morin, BOEM Office of
Renewable Energy Programs, 45600
Woodland Road, Sterling, Virginia
20166, (703) 787–1722 or
michelle.morin@boem.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 a lease to Cape Wind Associates
(CWA) and BOEM’s 2011 decision to
approve CWA’s Construction and
Operations Plan (COP) for the Cape
Wind Energy Project. Id. at 1084. In
response to the Circuit Court’s remand
order, BOEM published the Draft SEIS
for the Cape Wind Energy Project on
March 31, 2017.
The Draft SEIS considered the only
two alternatives that remained relevant
as a result of the Court’s remand order
and CWA’s lease and the approved Cape
Wind COP: The Proposed Action
(affirming BOEM’s issuance of the
existing lease), and the No Action
Alternative (requiring BOEM to rescind
lease issuance). BOEM published a
notice in the Federal Register on March
31, 2017, to announce the availability of
the Draft SEIS and initiate a 45-day
public comment period (82 FR 16060).
All the comments received on the Draft
SEIS are available for public viewing
and can be found at: https://
www.regulations.gov by searching for
docket ID BOEM–2017–0008.
In the Final SEIS for the Cape Wind
Energy Project, 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 relate to the adequacy of the
seafloor to support wind turbines in the
lease area. The Final SEIS also includes
a summary of all the comments received
on the Draft SEIS and BOEM’s responses
to those comments. The Final SEIS can
be found on BOEM’s Web site at:
https://www.boem.gov/MassachusettsCape-Wind/.
Authority: This notice of availability to
prepare a Final SEIS is in compliance with
NEPA, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4231 et seq.),
and is published pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.6.
Dated: July 31, 2017.
