Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 88110 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 20, 2023 / Notices BOEM requests information on the following topics: 1. Potential programmatic mitigation measures, including wind energy development alternatives offshore California, and the effects these could have on: • Biological resources, including bats, birds, coastal fauna, finfish, invertebrates, essential fish habitat, marine mammals, and sea turtles; • Physical resources and conditions including air quality, water quality, and other waters of the United States; • Socioeconomic and cultural resources, including any resources of concern to Tribal Nations, commercial fisheries and recreational fishing, demographics, employment, economics, environmental justice, land use and coastal infrastructure, navigation and vessel traffic, other uses (marine minerals, military use, aviation), recreation and tourism, and scenic and visual resources, specifically if further visual analyses beyond the existing 2019 California visual simulations (see https://www.boem.gov/california) could sufficiently inform potential programmatic mitigation measures without the site-specific project information that would be available to BOEM when it undertakes further viewshed analysis at the construction and operations review phase. 2. Information on other current or planned activities in, or in the vicinity of, the five California wind energy lease areas under analysis. 3. Possible alternatives and the alternatives’ possible impacts on planned activities. 4. Other impacts on the human environment from California wind energy development in the five lease areas, including any mitigation measures. 5. Information on the following for the development of the representative project design envelope and activities scenario: layout of turbines (analyze one or more standard layouts); setbacks identified in the leases; size (wind turbine generator nameplate capacity), dimensions (tip height, hub height, and rotor diameter) and number of turbines; offshore substation type, dimensions, number, and location; type of foundation or mooring design; foundation or mooring installation method; scour protection; approach to cable emplacement (installation methods and disturbance corridor width); location of landfalls; onshore substation location; point of grid interconnection; ports, fabrication facilities, and staging areas; timing of onshore and offshore activities; and associated activities such as vessel trips. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:02 Dec 19, 2023 Jkt 262001 6. BOEM also seeks comment and input from the public and consulting parties under section 106 of the NHPA regarding the identification of other potential consulting parties, the identification of historic properties offshore California, the potential effects on those historic properties from California offshore wind energy development alternatives, including any mitigation measures, and any information that supports identification of historic properties under NHPA. To promote informed decisionmaking, comments should be as specific as possible and should provide as much detail as necessary to meaningfully and fully inform BOEM of the commenter’s position. Comments must explain why the issues raised are important for consideration in the analysis. The draft PEIS will include a summary of all alternatives, information, and analyses submitted during this scoping process. Authority: 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., and 40 CFR 1501.9.
