ACTION: Proposed sale notice; request for comments. AGENCY: The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) proposes to hold Pacific Lease Sale 2 and offer one or more lease areas (Lease Areas) for commercial wind power development on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The Lease Areas are located in the Brookings and Coos Bay wind energy areas (WEAs) offshore the State of Oregon. This proposed sale notice (PSN) contains information pertaining to the areas available for leasing, certain lease provisions and conditions, auction details, criteria for evaluating competing bids, and procedures for lease award, appeals, and lease execution. BOEM proposes a multiple factor bidding format using a simultaneous clock auction and will use new auction software for the lease sale, resulting in changes to its previous auction rules. Any lease resulting from this sale does not constitute approval for any offshore wind energy facilities. Lessees must first submit project-specific plans to BOEM and obtain BOEM’s approval before they may start any construction of an OCS wind energy facility. BOEM will make such plans available for environmental, technical, and public reviews before deciding whether the proposed development should be authorized. DATES: BOEM must receive your comments no later than July 1, 2024. For prospective bidders who want to participate in this lease sale, unless you have already received confirmation from BOEM that you are qualified to participate in the Oregon auction, BOEM must receive your qualification materials no later than July 1, 2024. Prior to the auction, BOEM must confirm your qualification to bid in the auction. ADDRESSES: You may send comments in any of the following ways: • Electronically: Visit https:// www.regulations.gov.

Background (1) Call for Information and Nominations: On April 29, 2022, BOEM published the ‘‘Call for Information and Nominations-Commercial Leasing for Wind Power Development on the Outer Continental Shelf offshore Oregon’’ (Call). The Call consisted of two areas identified as the Brookings and Coos Bay Call Areas. BOEM received 278 comments from Tribal nations; the general public; Federal, State, and local agencies; the fishing industry; industry groups; developers; non-governmental organizations; universities; and other stakeholders. Comments can be viewed at https://www.regulations.gov/ document/BOEM-2022-0009-0001/ comment. Four developers nominated areas for a commercial wind energy lease within the Call Areas. (2) Area Identification: After the close of the Call comment period on June 28, 2022, BOEM initiated the process for identifying possible leasing areas (Area ID) by reviewing the input received on the Call. BOEM used the modified Area ID process described in a note to stakeholders, available at: https:// www.boem.gov/newsroom/notesstakeholders/boem-enhances-itsprocesses-identify-future-offshore-windenergy-areas.
