offices/reac/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The proposed management operations 

scoring information was published on 

August 21, 2008 (73 FR 49575). This 

proposal included a metric for tenant 

rents collected, in which the highest 

score would have been given for a 

successful collection rate of 97 percent 

of the total rent due; the intermediate 

score would have been given for a 

successful collection rate of at least 93 

percent but less than 97 percent; and the 

lowest score would have been given for 

a collection rate of less than 93 percent. 

Stated in terms of accounts receivable, 

these 3 tiers of scoring would be: for the 

highest score, a 3 percent or .03 ratio of 

accounts receivable; for the intermediate 

score, at least 7 percent or .07 ratio of 

accounts receivable to less than a 3 

percent or .03 ratio of accounts 

receivable; and for the lowest score, less 

than a 7 percent or .07 ratio of accounts 

receivable. 

The interim Management Operations 

Scoring Notice was published on 

February 23, 2011 (76 FR 10050). This 

interim notice is effective as of March 

25, 2011, and HUD is accepting public 

comments on this notice until April 25, 

2011. In this interim notice, the same 

metric is stated as ‘‘tenant accounts 

receivable’’ and was intended to be 

adjusted slightly compared to the 

proposal. 

The interim notice states that ‘‘A PHA 

will receive 5 points if it has a tenant 

accounts receivable ratio of less than 

1.5. It will receive 2 points if it has a 

tenant accounts receivable ratio of equal 

to or greater than 1.5 and less than 2.5. 

It will receive zero points if it has a 

tenant accounts receivable ratio of equal 

to or greater than 2.5.’’ (See 76 FR 10051, 

3rd column). A chart immediately 

following this text restates the same 

figures. Both the paragraph and the 

chart inadvertently omitted the word 

‘‘percent’’ following each of these ratios. 

Taken literally on a one-year basis, a 

tenant accounts receivable ratio of, for 

example, 1.5 would mean that one-andone half times the amount of total tenant 

charges (rents and other charges to the 

tenants) by a housing authority would 

be uncollected, an obvious 

impossibility, or, alternatively, over a 2- 

year basis, a PHA had failed to collect 

100 percent of all tenant charges in a 

given year, and was still owed 50 

percent of all the tenant charges from a 

previous year, a performance so 

unlikely as to be virtually impossible, 

and one having no reasonable relation to 

the proposal. 

HUD submits that the language 

supports that it was not HUD’s intention 

to give a high score in this metric to 

such a low-performing PHA even if one 

existed. What was meant was that 1.5 

percent (or .015) of the tenant charges 

would be uncollected. Stated in the 

terms that the proposed rule used, 

PHAS would require PHAs to collect 

98.5 percent of the rents rather than 97

percent to receive the highest score, a 

reasonable adjustment from the 

proposal. This correction properly 

conforms the language to the clearly 

intended meaning. 

II. Correction 

In the Federal Register of February 

23, 2011, in FR Doc. 2011–2658, on page 

10051, in the third column, the second 

full paragraph (beginning ‘‘A PHA will 

receive 5 points if * * * ’’) and the 

subsequent chart should be corrected to 

add the word ‘‘percent’’ after the figures 

‘‘1.5’’ and ‘‘2.5’’ wherever those figures 

occur, to read as follows: 

A PHA will receive 5 points if it has 

a tenant accounts receivable ratio of less 

than 1.5 percent. It will receive 2 points 

if it has a tenant accounts receivable 

ratio of equal to or greater than 1.5 

percent and less than 2.5 percent. It will 

receive zero points if it has a tenant 

accounts receivable ratio of equal to or 

greater than 2.5 percent.

[Docket No. BOEM–2011–0008] 

Commercial Leasing for Wind Power 

on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) 

Off Delaware, Determination of No 

Competitive Interest 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulation and 

Enforcement (BOEMRE), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides 

BOEMRE’s determination that no 

competitive interest exists in acquiring 

a commercial wind lease in the area 

offshore Delaware proposed in the 

January 26, 2011, Notice of Proposed 

Lease Area and Request for Competitive 

Interest (RFCI) (76 FR 4716). The 

location of a proposed lease area was 

identified through the issuance of a 

Request for Interest (RFI) in the Federal 

Register on April 26, 2010 (75 FR 

21653). 

Bluewater Wind Delaware, LLC 

submitted the only valid expression of 

commercial interest in response to the 

April 26, 2010, RFI and BOEMRE 

received no additional expressions of 

interest in response to the January 26, 

2011, RFCI. BOEMRE will proceed with 

the noncompetitive lease process for the 

proposed lease area offshore Delaware 

as described in the RFCI. 

This DNCI is published pursuant to 

subsection 8(p)(3) of the OCS Lands Act, 

which was added by section 388 of the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) (43 

U.S.C. 1337(p)(3)), and the 

implementing regulations at 30 CFR part 

285. Subsection 8(p)(3) of the OCS 

Lands Act requires that OCS renewable 

energy leases, easements, and rights-ofway be issued ‘‘on a competitive basis 

unless the Secretary determines after 

public notice of a proposed lease, 

easement, or right-of-way that there is 

no competitive interest.’’ The authority 

to make such determinations has been 

delegated to BOEMRE. This DNCI 

provides notice to the public that 

BOEMRE has determined that there is 

no competitive interest in leasing the 

proposed area. 

BOEMRE received public comment 

submissions from four parties in 

response to the January 26, 2011, RFCI. 

A discussion of these comments is 

found below. 

DATES: Effective April 12, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose of This DNCI 

This DNCI provides public notice that 

BOEMRE has determined that there is 

no competitive interest in acquiring a 

lease in the area described in the 

January 26, 2011, RFCI. Bluewater Wind 

Delaware, LLC submitted the only valid 

expression of commercial interest in 

response to the RFI and BOEMRE 

received no additional expressions of 

interest in response to the RFCI. As a 

result, no competitive interest exists in 

the proposed leasing area. Subsequent 

to the publication of this determination, 

BOEMRE may proceed with the 

noncompetitive lease process outlined 

at 30 CFR 285.231(d) through (i). 

Summary of Public Comments Received 

in Response to the January 26, 2011, 

RFCI 

On February 10, 2011, the comment 

period closed for the Delaware RFCI. 

BOEMRE received four responses 

during the public comment period, 

including comments from two groups 

representing waterway users, one 

marine waterway operator, and one 

company associated with the surf clam/ 

ocean quahog fishing industry. 

Comments received in response to the 

RFCI are available at the following URL: 

http://www.boemre.gov/offshore/ 

RenewableEnergy/ 

stateactivities.htm#Delaware 

Some of the comments received 

requested a change to the area of interest 

considered for leasing, and included 

suggestions such as identifying areas for 

exclusion, mitigation, or further study. 

Other comments suggested that 

BOEMRE undertake a more coordinated 

outreach effort with public stakeholders, 

to complement existing coordination 

efforts with government stakeholders in 

the BOEMRE/Delaware Renewable 

Energy Task Force. In addition, other 

comments expressed concern with 

navigational safety and socioeconomic 

impacts to the surf clam/ocean quahog 

fishery in the proposed lease area as a 

result of wind facility development. 

In identifying a lease area for analysis 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act, BOEMRE will consider 

excluding the area designated as a 

potential U.S. Coast Guard vessel 

anchorage area, first identified by the 

U.S. Coast Guard in its response to the 

Delaware RFI. Comments received from 

waterways operators in response to the 

Delaware RFCI indicate support for 

excluding a designated anchorage area 

from a proposed lease area to replace 

unofficial anchorage areas currently in 

use throughout the area of interest, 

which may be displaced by future 

development. 

In response to concerns regarding the 

proposed 500-meter buffer between the 

proposed lease area and the adjacent 

Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS), 

BOEMRE has decided that additional 

information is needed to evaluate 

whether this proposed buffer should be 

widened. BOEMRE will collaborate with 

the U.S. Coast Guard to better quantify 

the amount and location of vessel 

activity and research ways to analyze 

the effects of wind energy facility 

infrastructure on marine vessel traffic in 

the area to better inform any future 

mitigation in a proposed lease area. If 

data suggest that heavy traffic transits 

within 0.5 nautical mile of the edge of 

the TSS, BOEMRE has the discretion to
