Active offshore wind leasing areas within the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) waters include commercial, research, and right of way lease areas. Leases are considered provisional after auction and prior to signatures from BOEM and the Lessee. All blocks for each lease have been dissolved by Lease Number to create outline polygons of active wind leases managed by BOEM. Easement sections are not dissolved into the lease but are considered part of the lease agreement.</span></p></div>

OCS Area Polygons

<p>These polygon features represent the areas comprising the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) as defined by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). In the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), the term "Outer Continental Shelf" is defined as "(1) all submerged lands lying seaward and outside of the area of lands beneath navigable waters as defined in the Submerged Lands Act, and of which the subsoil and seabed appertain to the United States and are subject to its jurisdiction and control or within the exclusive economic zone of the United States and adjacent to any territory of the United States; and (2) does not include any area conveyed by Congress to a territorial government for administration (43 USC 1331).</p><p>Under international law, the continental shelf extends to the outer edge of the continental margin, or to 200nm from the baseline, whichever is greater. Where the outer edge of the continental margin extends beyond 200 nm from the baseline, the outer limits of the continental shelf are determined in accordance with Article 76 of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.</p><p>The outer limits of the U.S. continental shelf, in areas beyond 200 nm, are established by the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) Project led by the Department of State, the Department of the Interior, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).</p><p><span style='color:#dc143c;'><strong>These data are not NOT an OFFICIAL record of exact boundaries and should be used for cartographic purposes only.

Offshore Wind - Cable Landings (Proposed or Installed)

<div>These data show proposed or currently installed locations where offshore export cables will make or have made landfall. For proposed landings, if more than one option is possible, both are shown as separate points. In most cases, the landing locations shown are the maximum proposed build out within the individual design envelope of the project. In some cases, more than one proposed layout is provided. If no specific configuration option is shown in the attributes, then all the locations are considered the preferred option. Regardless of which option is ultimately permitted, the placement and total number of landing locations will likely vary from what is presented here. These data will be updated as new publicly available information is released. Data are provided by the lessee for project planning review and permitting uses.</div>

The purpose of this mapping program is to understand the distribution of natural hydrocarbon seeps and related benthic fauna (chemosynthetic and coral communities) in the GOA, and to characterize other seafloor features related to the geological framework of the seafloor. These areas show anomalously high or low acoustic amplitude response relative to typical background, with most areas having overlapping seismic coverage by two or more surveys. These results cover over 230,000 square kilometers of seismic data interpretation.</span></p><p><span>The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) provides the data for use "as is."

Offshore Wind - Export Cable Corridors (Proposed)

<div><span style='color:black;'>These data represent the proposed area the developer intends to investigate for the location of one or more export cables, the electrical cables that will carry electricity from the wind turbines to a power substation. Cable study locations are shown as the most favorable option (1) to alternate options (2,3,4,5) from the perspective of the wind farm developer. Since proposed project design, review, and permitting is an iterative process, the final design and buildout of the features may vary from what is presented here. Users should also be aware that developers often show more than one alternative, and all of these will not necessarily represent the final permitted design but are part of many options to be reviewed.

Offshore Wind - Substations (Proposed or Installed)

<div style='text-align:Left;'><p><span>These data contain both proposed and installed power substations. Substations can be within the offshore lease area or onshore. Offshore substations receive power from wind turbine facilities via electric cables and act as a collector to transport the electricity to the export cable and to onshore substations. Proposed project design, review, and permitting is an iterative process, so the final design and buildout of the substations is subject to change. The data may represent different alternative options to be reviewed and the final plan may vary from what is presented here.

Oil and Gas Resource Potential 2021

<div style='text-align:Left;'><p>This national data layer shows the extent of the probable oil and/or gas geologic structures (plays) identified within the US Outer Continental Shelf located in the waters near The United States of America in 2021. Plays are groups of known and/or postulated sub-seafloor pools (hydrocarbon accumulations) that share common geologic, geographic, and temporal properties, such as history of hydrocarbon generation, mitigation, migration, reservoir development, and entrapment. The analysis of the plays and their Unrecovered Technically Recoverable Resource (UTRR) characteristics represented herein was based on seismic surveys analyzed by BOEM geologists. Plays are represented in horizontal space but may overlap vertically allowing for multiple plays in the same horizontal space. Area calculations were completed in World Mercator. Data is displayed in the same projection.</p></div>

BLM ID SW Montana Greater Sage Grouse FEIS Winter Habitat 2015

Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) Winter Habitat as mapped by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) for the Idaho and Southwestern Montana Greater Sage-Grouse Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). Data is limited to Idaho. Winter was defined as December 1 - February 28. This layer includes IDFG Nesting habitat that overlaps winter habitat. See processing steps for how IDFG developed spatial data for GRSG winter habitat. In Montana (Dillon Field Office) winter habitat use by Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG) is highly variable due to snow pack and can change year to year. Spatial data depicting GRSG winter for the Dillon Field Office is not available. It is primarily encompasses within the Priority Habitat Management Areas. Elevation in the Raft River Unit of the Sawtooth National Forest in Utah precludes GRSG winter habitat. For more information contact us at blm_id_stateoffice@blm.gov.
