Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices 47877 

NOI to determine whether competitive 

interest exists for the area requested by 

Statoil NA, as required by 43 

U.S.1337(p)(3). The RFI also requests 

that interested and affected parties 

comment and provide information about 

site conditions and multiple uses within 

the area identified in the notice that 

would be relevant to the proposed 

project or its impacts. Comments 

received on the RFI will be included as 

part of the scoping process for the EIS. 

If BOEM determines there is no 

competition, Statoil NA would submit a 

construction and operations plan (COP) 

to BOEM that describes the proposed 

construction, activities, and 

decommissioning plans for all proposed 

facilities and includes the results of any 

site characterization surveys that have 

been conducted, such as geophysical, 

geotechnical, archaeological, and 

biological surveys. See 30 CFR 585.620– 

585.629. However, if BOEM determines 

there is competition, then it will 

proceed with the competitive leasing 

process outlined in 30 CFR 585.211– 

225. In the event there is competition, 

BOEM is likely to proceed under the 

‘‘Smart from the Start’’ initiative, as it 

has elsewhere on the Atlantic OCS, by 

preparing an environmental assessment 

(EA) that analyzes the potential impacts 

of lease issuance and associated site 

characterization and assessment 

activities. Implementation of this 

process, including the preparation of 

such NEPA analysis would necessitate 

issuance of a new NOI. Whether 

following competitive or noncompetitive procedures, BOEM will 

comply with all applicable requirements 

of National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) prior to making a decision on 

whether or not to issue a lease and 

approve, disapprove, or approve with 

modifications the associated plan(s).

application and map of the proposed 

lease area can be found at the following 

URL: http://www.boem.gov/RenewableEnergy-Program/State-Activities/ 

Maine.aspx. 

2. Proposed Action and Scope of 

Analysis 

This notice starts the formal scoping 

process for the EIS under 40 CFR 150.7, 

and solicits information regarding 

important environmental issues, 

alternatives, and mitigation that should 

be considered in the EIS. BOEM will use 

responses to this NOI and the EIS public 

input process to satisfy the public 

involvement requirements of the 

National Historic Preservation Act (16 

U.S.C. 470f), as provided in 36 CFR 

800.2(d)(3), and is seeking information 

from the public on the identification of 

historic properties that might be 

impacted by the Statoil NA project. The 

analyses contained within the EIS will 

also support compliance with other 

environmental statutes (e.g., Endangered 

Species Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, and 

Marine Mammal Protection Act). 

The proposed action that will be the 

subject of the EIS is the issuance of a 

commercial lease and the approval or 

approval with modification of the COP 

for Statoil NA’s Hywind Maine project 

offshore Maine. In addition to the no 

action alternative (i.e., no issuance of a 

commercial lease or approval of the 

COP), other alternatives may be 

considered, such as exclusion of certain 

areas from project siting or modification 

of project activities. The EIS will 

consider the reasonably foreseeable 

environmental consequences associated 

with the project, including the impacts 

of site characterization surveys that may 

be undertaken by Statoil NA and the 

construction, operations, maintenance, 

and decommissioning of the four WTGs 

that would be serially interconnected 

with infield cables and with a subsea 

export cable to shore. After a COP is 

submitted and a draft EIS issued, the 

public will have further opportunity to 

comment. 

3. Cooperating Agencies 

BOEM invites Federal, state, and local 

government agencies, as well as tribal 

governments, to consider becoming 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of this EIS. Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) regulations implementing 

the procedural provisions of NEPA 

defines cooperating agencies as those 

with ‘‘jurisdiction by law or special 

expertise’’ (40 CFR 1508.5). Potential 

cooperating agencies should consider 

their authority and capacity to assume 

the responsibilities of a cooperating 

agency and remember that an agency’s 

role in the environmental analysis 

neither enlarges nor diminishes the final 

decision-making authority of any other 

agency involved in the NEPA process. 

Upon request, BOEM will provide 

potential cooperating agencies with a 

draft Memorandum of Agreement that 

includes a schedule with critical action 

dates and milestones, mutual 

responsibilities, designated points of 

contact, and expectations for handling 

pre-decisional information. Agencies 

should also consider the ’’Factors for 

Determining Cooperating Agency 

Status’’ in Attachment 1 to CEQ’s 

January 30, 2002, Memorandum for the 

Heads of Federal Agencies: Cooperating 

Agencies in Implementing the 

Procedural Requirements of the NEPA. 

A copy of this document is available at: 

http://ceg.hss.doe.gov/nepa/regs/ 

cooperating/ 

cooperatingagenciesmemorandum.html 

and at: http://ceg.hss.doe.gov/nepa/regs/ 

cooperating/ 

cooperatingagencymemofactors.html. 

BOEM, as the lead agency, will not 

provide financial assistance to 

cooperating agencies. Even if an 

organization is not a cooperating 

agency, opportunities will exist to 

provide information and comments to 

BOEM during the normal public input 

phases of the NEPA/EIS process. 

4. Public Scoping Meetings 

Public scoping meetings will be held 

in Maine later this year. Specific times 

and venues will be posted on the BOEM 

Web site and published in the Federal 

Register per 40 CFR 1506.6.

Potential Commercial Leasing for Wind 

Power on the Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Offshore Maine; Request for 

Interest 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management (BOEM), Interior. 

ACTION: Public Notice of an Unsolicited 

Request for a Commercial OCS Wind 

Lease, Request for Interest, and Request 

for Public Comment 

SUMMARY: The purpose of this public 

notice is to: (1) Describe the proposal 

submitted to BOEM by Statoil North 

America (Statoil NA) to acquire an OCS 

wind lease; (2) solicit public input 

regarding the proposal, its potential 

environmental consequences, and the 

use of the area in which the proposed 

project would be located; and (3) solicit 

submissions of indications of 

competitive interest for a commercial 

lease for wind energy development on 

the OCS off the coast of Maine for the 

area identified in this notice. 

On October 12, 2011, BOEM received 

an unsolicited request from Statoil NA 

for a commercial wind lease on the OCS 

offshore Maine. Statoil NA’s proposed 

project, ‘‘Hywind Maine,’’ would 

consist of four 3-megawatt (MW) wind 

turbine generators (WTG) configured for 

a total of 12-MW in water depths greater 

than 100 meters and be located 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

47878 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices 

approximately 12 nautical miles (nmi) 

off the coast of Maine. The objective of 

the proposed Hywind Maine Project is 

to demonstrate the commercial potential 

of the existing floating offshore Hywind 

technology, while responding to a 

corresponding Request for Proposals 

(RFP) issued by the Maine Public 

Utilities Commission. 

This request for interest is published 

pursuant to subsection 8(p)(3) of the 

OCS Lands Act, as amended 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 

585.231(b). Subsection 8(p)(3) of the 

OCS Lands Act requires that OCS 

renewable energy leases, easements, and 

rights-of-way (ROWs) be issued ‘‘on a 

competitive basis unless the Secretary 

determines after public notice of a 

proposed lease, easement, or right-ofway that there is no competitive 

interest.’’ This request for interest 

provides such public notice for the 

proposed lease area requested by Statoil 

NA and invites the submission of 

indications of competitive interest. 

BOEM will consider the responses to 

this public notice to determine whether 

competitive interest exists for the area 

requested by Statoil NA, as required by 

43 U.S.C. 1337(p)(3). Parties wishing to 

obtain a lease for the area requested by 

Statoil NA should submit detailed and 

specific information as described in the 

section entitled ‘‘Required Indication of 

Interest Information.’’ 

This announcement also requests that 

interested and affected parties comment 

and provide information about site 

conditions and multiple uses within the 

area identified in this notice that would 

be relevant to the proposed project or its 

impacts. BOEM separately published a 

Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

concurrently with this request for 

interest. The NOI starts the scoping 

process for the EIS under 40 CFR 

1501.7, and solicits information 

regarding important environmental 

issues, alternatives, and mitigation that 

should be considered in the EIS. A 

detailed description of the proposed 

lease area can be found in the section of 

this notice entitled ‘‘Description of the 

Area.’’ 

DATES: If you are submitting an 

indication of interest in acquiring a 

lease for the area proposed by Statoil 

NA, your submission must be sent by 

mail, postmarked no later than October 

9, 2012 for your submission to be 

considered. If you are providing 

comments or other submissions of 

information, you may send them by 

mail, postmarked by this same date, or 

you may submit them through the 

Federal Rulemaking Portal at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, also by this same 

date. 

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES: If you are 

submitting an indication of competitive 

interest for a lease or comments, please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose of the Request for Interest 

Responses to this public notice will 

allow BOEM to determine, pursuant to 

30 CFR 585.231, whether or not there is 

competitive interest in acquiring an 

OCS commercial wind lease in the area 

requested by Statoil NA. In addition, 

this notice provides an opportunity for 

interested stakeholders to comment on 

the proposed lease area and the 

proposed Hywind Maine project and 

any potential impacts the project may 

have. 

If, in response to this notice, BOEM 

receives one or more indications of 

competitive interest for offshore wind 

energy development from qualified 

entities that wish to compete for the 

proposed lease area, it may decide to 

move forward with the lease issuance 

process using competitive procedures 

pursuant to 30 CFR part 585. However, 

if BOEM receives no competing 

indications of interest, BOEM may 

decide to move forward with the lease 

issuance process using the noncompetitive procedures contained in 30 

CFR part 585. 

Should BOEM decide to proceed with 

issuing a lease in the proposed lease 

area, whether competitively or noncompetitively, it may provide the public 

with additional opportunities to provide 

input pursuant to 30 CFR Part 585 and 

applicable laws, such as the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

BOEM competitive and noncompetitive 

leasing processes are outlined in 30 CFR 

585, subpart B. 

Determination of Competitive Interest 

and Leasing Process 

After the publication of this 

announcement, BOEM will evaluate 

indications of competitive interest for 

the area requested by Statoil NA for 

acquiring a commercial lease on the 

OCS. At the conclusion of the comment 

period for this public notice, BOEM will 

review the submissions received, 

undertake a completeness review for 

those submissions and qualifications 

review of the nominating entities, and 

make a determination as to whether 

competitive interest exists. 

If BOEM determines that there is no 

competitive interest in the proposed 

lease area, it will publish in the Federal 

Register a notice that there is no 

competitive interest. At that point 

BOEM may decide to proceed with the 

noncompetitive lease issuance process 

pursuant to 30 CFR 585.231, and Statoil 

NA would be required to submit any 

required plan(s). Whether following 

competitive or non-competitive 

procedures, BOEM will consult with the 

intergovernmental Task Force and will 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices 47879 

comply with all applicable requirements 

before making a decision on whether or 

not to issue a lease and approve, 

disapprove, or approve with 

modifications any associated plan(s). 

BOEM would coordinate and consult, as 

appropriate, with relevant Federal 

agencies, affected tribes, and affected 

state and local governments, in issuing 

a lease and developing lease terms and 

conditions. Information on the 

environmental review process can be 

found at: http://www.boem.gov/

It is critical that you provide a 

complete submission of competitive 

interest so that BOEM may consider 

your submission in a timely manner. If 

BOEM reviews your submission and 

determines that it is incomplete, BOEM 

will inform you of this determination in 

writing and describe the information 

that BOEM wishes you to provide in 

order for BOEM to deem your 

submission complete. You will be given 

15 business days from the date of the 

letter to provide the information that 

BOEM found to be missing from your 

original submission. If you do not meet 

this deadline, or if BOEM determines 

your second submission is also 

insufficient, BOEM may deem your 

submission invalid. In such a case, 

BOEM would not consider your 

submission. 

Requested Information From Interested 

or Affected Parties 

BOEM is also requesting from the 

public and other interested or affected 

parties specific and detailed comments 

regarding the following: 

(1) Geological and geophysical 

conditions (including bottom and 

shallow hazards) in the area described 

in this notice; 

(2) Historic properties potentially 

affected by the construction of 

meteorological towers, the installation 

of meteorological buoys, or commercial 

wind development in the area identified 

in this notice; 

(3) Multiple uses of the area described 

in this notice, including navigation (in 

particular, commercial and vessel usage, 

recreation, and commercial and 

recreational fisheries). During the public 

information session following the 

December 8, 2011, Task Force meeting, 

several representatives of commercial 

and recreational fishing interests 

commented on potential impacts to 

fishing, and BOEM invites additional 

comments on this important ocean use 

as it relates to the proposed lease area; 

(4) Other relevant environmental (e.g. 

fishery, protected species and habitat) 

and socioeconomic information such as 

archeological resources, recreational 

resources, and demographics and 

employment. 

Protection of Privileged or Confidential 

Information 

Freedom of Information Act 

BOEM will protect privileged or 

confidential information that you 

submit as required by the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA). Exemption 4 of 

FOIA applies to trade secrets and 

commercial or financial information 

that you submit that is privileged or 

confidential. If you wish to protect the 

confidentiality of such information, 

clearly mark it and request that BOEM 

treat it as confidential. BOEM will not 

disclose such information, subject to the 

requirements of FOIA. Please label

name of your company); or (2) the 

geographic location of nominated 

facilities. Information that is not labeled 

as privileged or confidential will be 

regarded by BOEM as suitable for public 

release. 

Section 304 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470w–3(a)) 

BOEM is required, after consultation 

with the Secretary, to withhold the 

location, character, or ownership of 

historic resources if it determines that 

disclosure may, among other things, 

cause a significant invasion of privacy, 

risk harm to the historic resources or 

impede the use of a traditional religious 

site by practitioners. Tribal entities and 

other interested parties should designate 

information that they wish to be held as 

confidential.
