The Public Health Service (PHS) 

strongly encourages all cooperative

provide a smoke-free workplace and 

promote the non-use of all tobacco 

products. In addition, Public Law 103– 

227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, 

prohibits smoking in certain facilities

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Minerals Management Service 

Environmental Assessment Prepared 

for Proposed Cape Wind Energy 

Project in Nantucket Sound, MA 

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service 

(MMS), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of the Availability of an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) and 

Draft Finding of No New Significant 

Impact (FONNSI) for Public Review and 

Comment. 

SUMMARY: The Minerals Management 

Service (MMS), in accordance with 

Federal regulations that implement the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), announces the availability for 

public review and comment of an EA 

and Draft FONNSI prepared by MMS for 

the Cape Wind Energy Project proposed 

for Nantucket Sound, Massachusetts. On 

January 16, 2009, the MMS announced 

the release of the Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Cape 

Wind Energy Project. The FEIS assessed 

the physical, biological, and social/ 

human impacts of the proposed project 

and 13 alternatives, including a noaction alternative (i.e., the project is not 

built), and proposed mitigation. 

The MMS has identified new 

information that has become available 

since the publication of the FEIS in 

January 2009 that pertains to the 

proposed project, the feasibility of 

alternatives to the proposed project, and 

to some of the resources that were 

analyzed in the FEIS. The MMS used an 

environmental assessment (EA) to 

determine whether it needs to 

supplement its existing analysis under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). This EA, in accordance with 

CEQ regulations (40 CFR 1501.3(b) and 

40 CFR 1502.9), examines whether the 

new information indicates that there 

have been ‘‘substantial changes in the 

proposed action’’ or ‘‘significant new 

circumstances or information’’ that 

either were not fully discussed or did 

not exist at the time the FEIS was 

prepared that are relevant to 

environmental concerns and have a 

bearing on the proposed action or its 

impacts. MMS researched and reviewed 

new information obtained from the 

scientific/technical literature, 

government reports and actions, 

intergovernmental coordination and 

communications, required 

consultations, and comments made 

during two comment periods offered 

after the FEIS was circulated to 

determine if any assumptions, data or 

analysis related to resources should be 

reevaluated or if the new information 

would alter conclusions of the FEIS. 

This includes new information in the 

January 13, 2010, MMS Documentation 

of Section 106 Finding of Adverse Effect 

(Revised) (Revised Finding), and the 

comments received during a comment 

period on this document. No new 

information was found that would 

necessitate a reanalysis of range of the 

alternatives or the kinds, levels or 

locations of the impacts by the Proposed 

Action upon biologic, physical, 

socioeconomic or cultural resources. 

The analyses, potential impacts, and 

conclusions detailed in the FEIS remain 

applicable and unchanged. Therefore, 

MMS has determined that a 

supplemental EIS is not required and 

proposes to issue the attached FONNSI. 

MMS seeks public comment on the 

analysis, findings and conclusions in 

the proposed EA and Draft FONNSI. 

DATES: The comment period for the EA/ 

Draft FONNSI document closes April 7, 

2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Cape Wind Energy Project Description 

In November 2001, Cape Wind 

Associates, LLC, applied for a permit 

from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE) under the Rivers and Harbors 

Act of 1899 to construct an offshore 

wind power facility on Horseshoe Shoal 

in Nantucket Sound, Massachusetts. 

Following the adoption of the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) and its 

associated amendments to the Outer 

Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), 

the Department of the Interior was given 

statutory authority to issue leases, 

easements, or rights-of-way for 

renewable energy projects on the Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS). Accordingly, 

Cape Wind Associates, LLC, submitted 

an application to MMS in 2005 to 

construct, operate, and eventually 

decommission an offshore wind power 

facility on Horseshoe Shoal in 

Nantucket Sound, Massachusetts. The 

project calls for 130, 3.6± megawatt 

(MW) wind turbine generators, each 

with a maximum blade height of 440 

feet, to be arranged in a grid pattern in 

25 square miles of Nantucket Sound, 

offshore of Cape Cod, Martha’s 

Vineyard, and Nantucket Island. With a 

maximum electric output of 468 

megawatts and an average anticipated 

output of 182 megawatts, the facility is 

projected to generate up to threequarters of the Cape and Islands’ 

electricity needs. Each of the 130 wind 

turbine generators would generate 

electricity independently. Solid 

dielectric submarine inner-array cables 

(33 kilovolt) from each wind turbine 

generator would interconnect within the 

array and terminate on an electrical 

service platform, which would serve as 

the common interconnection point for 

all of the wind turbines. The proposed 

submarine transmission cable system 

(115 kilovolt) from the electric service 

platform to the landfall location in

CFR 207.2(f)). 

2Chairman Shara L. Aranoff, Vice Chairman 

Daniel R. Pearson, and Commissioner Deanna 

Tanner Okun dissenting. 

Yarmouth is approximately 12.5 miles 

in length (7.6 miles of which falls 

within Massachusetts’ territorial 

waters). 

Nantucket Sound is a roughly 

triangular body of water generally 

bound by Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, 

and Nantucket Island. Open bodies of 

water include Vineyard Sound to the 

West and the Atlantic Ocean to the East 

and the South. Nantucket Sound 

encompasses between 500–600 square 

miles of ocean, most of which lies in 

Federal waters. The Cape Wind Energy 

Project would be located completely on 

the OCS in Federal waters, aside from 

transmission cables running through 

Massachusetts waters ashore. For 

reference, the northernmost turbines 

would be approximately 5.2 miles (8.4 

km) from Point Gammon on the 

mainland; the southernmost turbines 

would be approximately 11 miles (17.7 

km) from Nantucket Island (Great 

Point); and the westernmost turbines 

would be approximately 5.5 miles (8.9 

km) from the island of Martha’s 

Vineyard (Cape Poge).
