In 1967, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were

ACTION: Notice of availability; request

AGENCY:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM) announces the
availability of the draft programmatic
environmental impact statement (PEIS)
to analyze the potential impacts of wind
energy development in six lease areas of
the New York (NY) Bight. The PEIS also
identifies possible changes in those
impacts that could result from adopting
certain avoidance, minimization,
mitigation, and monitoring (AMMM)
measures (the Proposed Action). This
notice of availability (NOA) announces
the start of the public review and
comment period and the dates and
times for public meetings on the draft
PEIS. After the public comment period
and meetings, BOEM will address the
issues raised and will publish a final
PEIS. The final PEIS will inform
BOEM’s decision whether to adopt
certain AMMM measures at this stage
that would potentially be required as
conditions of approval for activities
proposed by NY Bight lessees in their
construction and operations plans
(COPs) or defer the decision to adopt
such measures to each project-specific
environmental review.
DATES: Comments must be received no
later than February 26, 2024. BOEM will
conduct a total of five virtual and inperson public meetings. BOEM’s public
