Authority 

This Determination of No Competitive 

Interest (DNCI) is published pursuant to 

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

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

implementing regulations at 30 CFR Part 

585. 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 [of the Interior] 

determines after public notice of a 

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

interest.’’ The Secretary delegated the 

authority to make such determinations 

to BOEM. 

Determination and Next Steps 

This DNCI provides notice to the 

public that BOEM has determined there 

is no competitive interest in the 

proposed lease area, as no indications of 

competitive interest were submitted in 

response to the RFI. 

In the RFI, BOEM also solicited public 

input regarding the area described in the 

notice, the potential environmental 

consequences of wind energy 

development in the area, and multiple 

uses of the area. In response to the RFI, 

BOEM received public comment 

submissions from 18 entities. BOEM 

will use the comments it received to 

inform its subsequent decisions. After 

publication of this DNCI, BOEM will 

proceed with the noncompetitive lease 

issuance process outlined at 30 CFR 

585.231.

commercial lease can be found at the
