SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Atlantic
Shores seeks approval to construct,
operate, and maintain the Project: two
wind energy facilities (Project 1 and
Project 2) and the associated export
cables on the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) offshore New Jersey. The Project
would be developed within the range of
design parameters outlined in the COP,
subject to applicable mitigation
measures.
A notice of availability for the final
EIS was published in the Federal
Register on May 31, 2024. On June 25,
2024, BOEM published an errata on its
website that included certain edits to
Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and Appendix G:
Mitigation and Monitoring Table G–2.
None of these edits are substantive or
affect the analysis or conclusions in the
final EIS.
The Project as proposed in the COP
would include up to 200 total wind
turbine generators (WTGs) (between 105
and 136 WTGs for Project 1, and
between 64 and 95 WTGs for Project 2),
up to 10 offshore substations (OSSs) (up
to 5 in each Project), up to 1 permanent
meteorological (met) tower, up to 4
temporary meteorological and
oceanographic (metocean) buoys (up to
3 metocean buoys in Project 1 and 1
metocean buoy in Project 2), interarray
and interlink cables, up to 2 onshore
substations, 2 points of interconnection,
1 operations and maintenance facility,
and up to 8 transmission cables making
landfall at 2 New Jersey locations.
The Atlantic Shores South Project is
proposed to be located 8.7 statute miles
(14 kilometers) 1 from the New Jersey
shoreline at its closest point, within the
area covered by Renewable Energy
Lease Number OCS–A 0499 (Lease
Area).

After carefully considering public
comments on the draft EIS and the
alternatives described and analyzed in
the final EIS, DOI selected Alternative
B, ‘‘Proposed Action,’’ in combination
with Alternative C4, ‘‘Habitat Impact
Minimization/Fisheries Habitat Impact
Minimization: Micrositing,’’ Alternative
D3, ‘‘No Surface Occupancy of Up to
10.8 Miles [17.4 Kilometers] from Shore:
Removal of up to 6 Turbines,’’ and
Alternative E, ‘‘Wind Turbine Layout
Modification to Establish a Setback
between Atlantic Shores South and
Ocean Wind 1,’’ as well as the two
proposed mitigation measures that
require WTG removal:
• No permanent structures will be
placed in a way that narrows any linear
rows and columns to fewer than 0.6
nautical miles (1,100 meters) or in a
layout that eliminates two distinct lines
of orientation in a grid pattern. The
Project’s proposed OSSs, met tower, and
WTGs will be aligned in a uniform grid
with rows in an east-northeast to westsouthwest direction spaced 1.0 nautical
mile (1,900 meters) apart and rows in an
approximately north to south direction
spaced 0.6 nautical mile (1,100 meters)
apart, with the exception of WTGs
AX01, AZ08, BA09, BC07, BE10, BE12,
BE14, BE15, BE16, BF14, BF15, and
BG13; and
• Atlantic Shores must remove from
its Project layout a single turbine
position approximately 150 to 200 feet
(45.8 to 61 meters) from the observed
Fish Haven (Atlantic City Artificial Reef
Site).
This combination is the Preferred
Alternative identified in the final EIS.
The anticipated mitigation, monitoring,
and reporting requirements, which will
be included in BOEM’s COP approval as
terms and conditions, are included in
the ROD, which is available at: https://
www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/stateactivities/atlantic-shores-south.
NMFS has adopted BOEM’s final EIS
to support its decision about whether or
not to promulgate the requested ITR and
issue the associated LOA to Atlantic
Shores. NMFS’ final decision about
whether or not to promulgate the
requested ITR and issue the LOA will be
documented in a separate Decision
Memorandum prepared in accordance
with internal NMFS policy and
procedures. The final ITR and a notice
of issuance of the LOA, if issued, will
be published in the Federal Register.
The LOA would authorize Atlantic
Shores to take small numbers of marine
mammals incidental to Project
construction and would set forth
permissible methods of incidental
taking; means of affecting the least
practicable adverse impact on the

species and their habitat; and
requirements for monitoring and
reporting. Pursuant to Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA), NMFS
issued a final Biological Opinion to
BOEM on December 18, 2023,
evaluating the effects of the proposed
action on ESA-listed species. The
proposed action in the Biological
Opinion includes the associated
permits, approvals, and authorizations
that may be issued.
USACE has decided to adopt BOEM’s
final EIS and issue permits to Atlantic
Shores under sections 10 and 14 of the
RHA, section 404 of the CWA, and
section 103 of the MPRSA.

Abstract: Regulations governing
Safety and Environmental Management
Systems (SEMS) are covered in 30 CFR
250, Subpart S and are the subject of
this collection. This request also covers
any related Notices to Lessees and
Operators (NTLs) that BSEE issues to
clarify, supplement, or provide
additional guidance on some aspects of
our regulations.
We consider the information to be
critical for us to monitor industry’s
operations record of safety and
environmental management on the OCS.
The Subpart S regulations hold the
operator accountable for the overall
safety of the offshore facility, including
ensuring that all employees, contractors,
and subcontractors have safety policies
and procedures in place that support the
implementation of the operator’s SEMS
program and align with the principles of
managing safety. An operator’s SEMS
program must describe management’s
commitment to safety and the
environment, as well as policies and
procedures to assure safety and
environmental protection while
conducting OCS operations (including
those operations conducted by all
personnel on the facility). BSEE will use
the information obtained by submittals
and observed via SEMS audits to ensure
that operations on the OCS are
conducted safely, as they pertain to both
human and environmental factors, and
in accordance with BSEE regulations,
including industry practices
incorporated by reference within the
regulations. Job Safety Analyses (JSA’s)
and other recordkeeping required by the
SEMS regulation will be reviewed
diligently by BSEE during inspections
and other oversight activities and by
SEMS auditors during regulatory
required audits, to ensure that industry
is using the documentation required by
the SEMS regulation to manage their
safety and environmental risks.

Information on Form BSEE–0131,
which the SEMS regulation requires to
be submitted to BSEE annually,
includes company identification,
number of company/contractor injuries
and/or illnesses suffered, company/
contractor hours worked, EPA National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit non-compliances, and
oil spill volumes for spills less than 1
barrel. Such information is reported on
a calendar year basis, with data broken
out by calendar quarter. The
information is used to develop industry
average incident rates that help to
describe how well the offshore oil and
gas industry is performing. Operators
use these incident rates to benchmark
against their own performance, and to
focus on areas that need improvement.
Using the produced data allows BSEE to
better focus our regulatory and research
programs on areas where the
performance measures indicate that
operators are having difficulty meeting
our expectations. BSEE will be more
effective in leveraging resources by
redirecting research efforts, promoting
appropriate regulatory initiatives, and
shifting inspection and Directed Audit
program emphasis based on
performance results.
