SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action: Atlantic Shores
Offshore Wind Project 1, LLC and
Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Project
2, LLC (collectively Atlantic Shores)
seek approval to construct, own,
operate, and maintain the Project, which
would consist of two wind energy
facilities (Project 1 and Project 2) and
their associated export cables on the
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore
New Jersey. The Project would be
developed within the range of design
parameters outlined in the COP, subject
to applicable mitigation measures.
The Project would be located about
8.7 statute miles (14 kilometers (km))
offshore New Jersey in the area defined
in BOEM’s renewable energy lease
OCS–A 0499 (Lease Area). The Lease
Area covers approximately 102,124
acres (413.3-km2). Project 1 is located in
the western 54,175 acres (219.2 km2) of
the Lease Area, and Project 2 is located
in the eastern 31,847 acres (128.9 km2)
of the Lease Area, with a 16,102 acre
(65.2-km2) overlap area that could be
used by either Project 1 or Project 2. The
Project would comprise up to 200 total
wind turbine generators (WTGs)
(between 105 and 136 WTGs for Project
1 and between 64 and 95 WTGs for
Project 2), up to 10 offshore substations
(up to 5 in each project), 1 permanent
meteorological (met) tower, up to 4
temporary meteorological and
oceanographic (metocean) buoys (1 met
tower and up to 3 metocean buoys in
Project 1 and 1 metocean buoy in
Project 2), inter-array and inter-link
cables, up to 2 onshore substations, 1
operations and maintenance facility,
and up to 8 transmission cables making
landfall at up to 2 New Jersey locations:
the Atlantic County landfall site in

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 97 / Friday, May 19, 2023 / Notices
Atlantic City, New Jersey, or the
Monmouth County landfall site in Sea
Girt, New Jersey, or both. Project 1
proposes to produce 1,510 MW. The
MW for Project 2 has not been
determined as Atlantic Shores is still
seeking an offtake power agreement for
Project 2.
Alternatives: BOEM considered 21
alternatives when preparing the DEIS
and carried forward 6 alternatives for
further analysis in the DEIS. These 6
alternatives include 5 action alternatives
and the no action alternative. BOEM did
not analyze in detail 15 of the 21
alternatives because they did not meet
the purpose and need for the proposed
action or did not meet screening criteria,
which are presented in chapter 2 of the
DEIS. The screening criteria included
consistency with law and regulations,
technical and economic feasibility,
environmental impact, and geographic
considerations.
Availability of the DEIS: The DEIS,
COP, and associated information are
available on BOEM’s website at: https://
www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/stateactivities/atlantic-shores-south. BOEM
has distributed digital copies of the
DEIS to all parties listed in appendix M
of the DEIS, which also includes the
location of all libraries receiving a copy.
If you require a digital copy on a flash
drive or paper copy, BOEM will provide
one upon request, if supplies are
available. You may request a flash drive
or paper copy of the DEIS by contacting
Kimberly Sullivan at (702) 338–4766 or
Kimberly.Sullivan@boem.gov.
Cooperating Agencies: The following
nine Federal agencies and State
governmental entities participated as
cooperating agencies in the preparation
of the DEIS: 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, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection, New Jersey
Board of Public Utilities, and New York
State Department of State. The National
Park Service and the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation were
participating agencies.
Information on Submitting
Comments: BOEM does not encourage
the submittal of anonymous comments.
Please include your name and address
as part of your comment. BOEM makes
your comment, including your name
and address, available for public review
online and during regular business

withhold your name, address, or any
other personally identifiable

comment from the public record;
however, BOEM cannot guarantee that it
will be able to do so. If you wish your
name, address, or other PII to be
withheld, you must state your request
prominently in a cover letter and
explain the harm that you fear from its
disclosure such as unwarranted privacy
invasion, embarrassment, or injury.
Even if BOEM withholds your
information in the context of this notice,
your comment is subject to the Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) and any
relevant court orders. If your comment
is requested under FOIA or a relevant
court order, your information will only
be withheld if a determination is made
that one of the FOIA’s exemptions to
disclosure applies or if the relevant
court order is challenged. Such a
determination will be made in
accordance with the Department of the
Interior’s FOIA regulations and
applicable law.
Please label privileged or confidential
information as ‘‘Contains Confidential
Information,’’ and consider submitting
such information as a separate
attachment. Information that is not
labeled as privileged or confidential
may be regarded by BOEM as suitable
for public release. Consistent with
section 304 of the NHPA (54 U.S.C.
307103(a)) and after consultation with
the Secretary, BOEM is required to
withhold the location, character, or
ownership of historic resources if it
determines that disclosure may, among
other things, risk harm to the historic
resources or impede the use of a
traditional religious site by
practitioners. Tribal entities should
designate information that falls under
section 304 of NHPA as confidential.
All submissions from organizations or
businesses and from individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses will be
made available for public inspection in
their entirety.
