Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 188 / Thursday, September 29, 2022 / Notices
United States to organize and deploy the
full capacity of its agencies to combat
the climate crisis to implement a
Government-wide approach that
reduces climate pollution in every
sector of the economy; increases
resilience to the impacts of climate
change; protects public health;
conserves our lands, waters, and
biodiversity; delivers environmental
justice; and spurs well-paying union
jobs and economic growth, especially
through innovation, commercialization,
and deployment of clean energy
technologies and infrastructure.
Through a competitive leasing process
under 30 CFR 585.211, Atlantic Shores
was award Commercial Lease OCS–A
0499, located offshore of New Jersey in
the New Jersey Wind Energy Area and
has the exclusive rights to submit a
construction and operations plan (COP)
for activities within the lease area.
Atlantic Shores has submitted a COP to
BOEM proposing the construction,
operation, maintenance, and conceptual
decommissioning of Project 1 and
Project 2, collectively generating 1,510
megawatts (MW) of clean energy.
Combined, these projects will have a
maximum of 200 WTGs, 10 OSSs, 1
meteorological tower, and 8
transmission cables making landfall at 2
locations in Atlantic and Monmouth
Counties.
Atlantic Shores anticipates that
activities potentially resulting in the
take of marine mammals could occur
during the life of the requested
regulations and associated 5-year Letters
of Authorization (LOAs). Specifically,
these activities are:
• The installation, via impact pile
driving, of up to 200 WTGs utilizing
either monopile (up to 15-meter (m) in
diameter) or jacket foundations (up to 5m in diameter pin piles). Project 1
would be comprised of 105–111
foundations and Project 2 would be
comprised of 89–95 foundations;
• The installation, via impact driving,
of up to 10 OSSs using up to jacket
foundations comprised of 5-m pin piles
(with 5 OSSs allocated to each project);
• Construction-related highresolution site assessment geophysical
surveys utilizing acoustic sources with
frequencies of <180 kilohertz (kHz) for
up to 300 days (estimate of 60 days
annually) during all 5 years;
• The installation, via impact driving,
of one permanent met tower in Project
1 using either a monopile up to 15-m in
diameter or a jacket foundation using up
to 5-m pin piles; and
• The installation and removal, via
vibratory driving, of up to eight
temporary steel sheet pile cofferdams at

the Atlantic cable landfall site (Project
1) and the Monmouth cable landfall site
(Project 2).
Information Solicited
Interested persons may submit
information, suggestions, and comments
concerning Atlantic Shores’ request (see

information, suggestions, and comments
related to the request during the
development of proposed regulations
governing the incidental taking of
marine mammals by Atlantic Shores, if
appropriate.
