SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action: The draft EA
analyzes the proposed action, which is
issuing wind energy leases in the
Central Atlantic WEAs, and the no
action alternative. The lease sale itself
would not authorize any activities on
the OCS. Therefore, the EA considers
the reasonably foreseeable
environmental consequences of site
characterization surveys (i.e., biological,
archeological, geological and
geophysical surveys, and core samples)
and site assessment activities (i.e.,
installation of meteorological buoys),
which are expected to take place
following lease issuance. BOEM decided
to prepare an EA for this proposed
action in order to assist the agency’s
planning and decision-making (40 CFR
1501.5(b)).
Availability of the Draft EA: The draft
EA and associated information are
available on BOEM’s website at: https://
www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/stateactivities/central-atlantic. If you require
a digital copy on a flash drive or a paper
copy, BOEM will provide one upon
request, if supplies are available. You
may request a flash drive or paper copy
of the draft EA by contacting Lisa
Landers at (703) 787–1520 or
lisa.landers@boem.gov.
Cooperating Agencies: The following
Federal agencies participated as
cooperating agencies in the preparation
of the draft EA: the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement, National
Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, and the
Environmental Protection Agency. The
Town of Ocean City, Maryland, also
participated as a cooperating agency in
the preparation of the draft EA.

FOIA. Please label privileged or

Confidential Information’’ and consider
submitting such information as a

BOEM will not treat as confidential
any aggregate summaries of information
or any comments not containing

constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of your personal privacy. You
must also briefly describe any possible
harmful consequences of the disclosure
of information, such as embarrassment,
injury, or other harm. Even if BOEM
withholds your information in the
context of this notice, your comment is
subject to FOIA. If your comment is
requested under FOIA, BOEM will
withhold your information only if it
determines that one of FOIA’s
exemptions to disclosure applies. Such
a determination will be made in
accordance with the Department’s FOIA
regulations and applicable law.

Notice of Lodging of Proposed

Louisiana in the lawsuit entitled United
States and the Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality v. The Dow
Chemical Company, Union Carbide
Corp. and Performance Materials, NA,
Inc., Civil Action No. 2:21–cv–00114–
MLCF–JVM.
The United States and Louisiana
Department of Environmental Quality
filed this lawsuit under the Clean Air
Act and Louisiana Environmental
Quality Act in January 2021. The
complaint sought injunctive relief and
civil penalties based on violations of the
Clean Air Act’s New Source Review
requirements, New Source Performance
Standards, National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants,
‘‘Title V’’ program requirements and
operating permits, and related Texas
and Louisiana state implementation
plan requirements. The alleged
violations involved flares used at
petrochemical manufacturing plants
owned and operated by the defendants,
The Dow Chemical Company, Union
Carbide Corp. and Performance
Materials, NA, Inc., in Hahnville and
Plaquemine, Louisiana, and Freeport
and Orange, Texas. The Consent Decree,
approved and entered by the Court in
June 2021, required the defendants to
perform injunctive relief, including
(among other things) the installation
and operation of Flare Gas Recovery
System (‘‘FGRS’’) compressors at the
Orange Facility covered by the Consent
Decree, pay a $3,000,000 civil penalty,
and perform three state-authorized
Beneficial Environmental Projects in
Louisiana.
The Stipulation lodged today changes
the number of FGRS compressors at the
Orange Facility to three from two;
modifies the requirements for FGRS
operation time to reflect the additional
FGRS compressor (specifically, once the
third compressor is operating, the
Stipulation requires the Orange Facility
to have two ‘‘Compressors Available for
Operation or in operation 95% of the
time and one Compressor Available for
Operation or in operation at all times,’’
increased from ‘‘one Compressor
Available for Operation or in operation
98% of the time and two Compressors
Available for Operation or in operation
90% of the time’’); adds default
molecular weights for nitrogen, natural
gas, and methane; and corrects an
incorrect paragraph cross reference in
Appendix 1.2, Step 2, of the Consent
Decree.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Stipulation. Comments should
be addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and should refer to
