summarize each comment in its request
to OMB for approval of this ICR. You
should be aware that your entire

may be publicly disclosed. In order to
inform BOEM’s decision whether it can
withhold from disclosure your

must identify any information contained
in your comment that, if released,
would clearly constitute an
unwarranted invasion of your privacy.
Also, you must briefly describe possible
harmful consequences of disclosing that

injury, or other harm. While you can ask
BOEM in your comment to withhold
your personally identifiable information
from public disclosure, BOEM cannot

In accordance with National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
regulations, BOEM announces the
availability of the final environmental
impact statement (FEIS) for the
construction and operation plan (COP)
submitted by South Fork Wind, LLC,
(South Fork Wind) for its proposed
South Fork Wind Farm (SFWF) and
South Fork Export Cable (SFEC) Project
(Project). The FEIS analyzes the
potential environmental impacts of the
Project as described in the COP (the
proposed action) and alternatives to the
proposed action and will inform
BOEM’s decision whether to approve,
approve with modifications, or
disapprove the COP.
SUMMARY:
The FEIS can be found on
BOEM’s website at: https://
www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/stateactivities/south-fork.
ADDRESSES:
For
information on the FEIS or BOEM’s
policies associated with this notice of
availability (NOA), please contact:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action: South Fork Wind
seeks approval to construct, operate,
maintain, and eventually decommission
the Project—a wind energy facility on
the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
offshore Rhode Island and an associated
export cable. The Project would be
developed within the range of design
parameters outlined in the South Fork
Wind COP, subject to applicable
mitigation measures. The SFWF as
proposed in the COP would include up
to 15 wind turbine generators with a
nameplate capacity of 6 to 12 megawatts
per turbine, submarine cables between
the wind turbine generators (inter-array
cables), and an offshore substation. The
SFWF would be located entirely on the
OCS in the area covered by Renewable
Energy Lease OCS–A 0517 (Lease Area),
approximately 19 miles southeast of
Block Island, RI, and 35 miles east of
Montauk Point, NY. The SFEC is an
alternating current electric cable that
would connect the SFWF to the existing
mainland electric grid in East Hampton,
NY. The Project also would include an
operations and maintenance facility
located onshore at either Montauk in
East Hampton, NY, or Quonset Point in
North Kingstown, RI, and a facility to
connect the SFEC with the Long Island
Power Authority electric transmission
and distribution system in the town of
East Hampton, NY.

Alternatives: BOEM considered 22
alternatives when preparing the draft
environmental impact statement (DEIS)
and carried forward four alternatives for
further analysis in the DEIS and FEIS.
These four alternatives include three
action alternatives and the no action
alternative. Eighteen alternatives were
rejected because they did not meet the
purpose and need for the proposed
action or did not meet screening criteria.
The screening criteria included
consistency with law and regulations;
operational, technical, and economic
feasibility; environmental impact; and
geographical considerations.
Availability of the FEIS: The FEIS,
South Fork Wind COP, and associated
information are available on BOEM’s
website at: https://www.boem.gov/
South-Fork/. BOEM has distributed
digital copies of the FEIS to all parties
listed in the FEIS appendix B, which
also includes the location of all libraries
receiving a copy. If you require a CD or
paper copy, BOEM will provide one
upon request, as long as copies are
available. You may request a CD or
paper copy of the FEIS by calling (703)
787–1662.
Cooperating Agencies: The following
10 agencies and governmental entities
participated as cooperating agencies in
the preparation of the FEIS: Bureau of
Safety and Environmental Enforcement;
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;
National Marine Fisheries Service; U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers; U.S. Coast
Guard; the Massachusetts Office of
Coastal Zone Management; Rhode
Island Department of Environmental
Management; Rhode Island Coastal
Resource Management Council; and
Town of East Hampton, and Trustees of
the Freeholders and Commonality of the
Town of East Hampton.
Authority: This NOA was prepared
under 42 U.S.C. 4231 et seq. (NEPA, as
amended) and 40 CFR 1506.6.
