[Docket No. BOEM–2024–0029]
Notice of Availability of a Final
Environmental Assessment for
Commercial Wind Lease and Site
Assessment Activities on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf of the Central
Atlantic
Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM) announces the
availability of a final environmental
assessment (EA) and its finding that
possible wind energy-related leasing,
site assessment, and site
characterization activities on the U.S.
Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)
(the Proposed Action) will not
significantly impact the human
environment. The EA analyses the
potential impacts of the Proposed
Action and a No Action alternative. The
EA will inform BOEM’s decision
whether to issue leases on the OCS
offshore the U.S. Central Atlantic coast
and its subsequent review of site
assessment plans in the lease areas.
ADDRESSES: The final EA and associated
information are available on BOEM’s
website at: https://www.boem.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action: The final EA
analyzes the Proposed Action, which is
to approve commercial wind energy
leases in the Central Atlantic Wind
Energy Areas (WEAs) and grant rightsof-way (ROWs) and rights-of-use and
easement (RUEs). A BOEM-issued lease
provides lessees the exclusive right to
submit site assessment plans and
construction and operations plans to
BOEM for possible approval. A site
assessment plan describes how the
lessee will assess the physical
characteristics of the lease area, which
is a prerequisite to submitting a
construction and operations plan. The
EA considers the reasonably foreseeable
environmental consequences associated
with site characterization activities
(geophysical, geotechnical,
archaeological, and biological surveys)
and site assessment activities (including

the installation and operation of
meteorological buoys). BOEM prepared
an EA for this proposed action in order
to inform its planning and decisionmaking (40 CFR 1501.5(b)).
Alternative: In addition to the
Proposed Action, BOEM considered a
No Action Alternative. Under the No
Action Alternative, BOEM would
neither approve commercial wind
energy leasing nor grant ROWs and
RUEs in the Central Atlantic WEAs.
BOEM’s preferred alternative is the
Proposed Action.
Finding of no significant impact: After
carefully considering the alternatives
and comments from the public and
cooperating and consulting agencies on
the draft EA, BOEM finds that approval
of commercial wind energy leasing and
granting ROWs and RUEs in the lease
area would not significantly impact the
environment.
Availability of the final EA: The final
EA and associated information are
available on BOEM’s website at: https://
