impacts of the Projects as described in 

the COP (the proposed action) and the 

alternatives to the proposed action. The 

joint ROD includes the decision of the 

Department of the Interior (DOI) 

regarding the COP, and the decision of 

NMFS regarding Empire Wind’s 

requested incidental take regulations 

(ITR) and an associated letter of 

authorization (LOA) under the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). NMFS 

has adopted the final EIS to support its 

decision of whether to issue the 

requested ITR. The joint ROD concludes 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

process for each agency.

associated information are available on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Empire 

Wind seeks approval to construct, 

operate, and maintain the Projects: two 

wind energy facilities and their 

associated export cables on the Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore New 

York. The Projects would be developed 

within the range of design parameters 

outlined in the Empire Wind COP, 

subject to applicable mitigation 

measures. Empire Wind proposes to 

develop the lease area in two wind 

farms, known as Empire Wind 1 (EW 1) 

and Empire Wind 2 (EW 2). EW 1 and 

EW 2 will be independent from each 

other. Including both EW 1 and EW 2, 

Empire Wind proposes constructing and 

operating up to 147 wind turbines and 

up to two offshore substations with two 

cable routes under the terms of 

Renewable Energy Lease OCS–A 0512 

located 14 miles from Long Island, New 

York, and 19.5 miles from Long Branch, 

New Jersey. The onshore components of 

the Projects will include up to three 

export cable landfalls in New York (one 

for EW 1 and up to two for EW 2) and 

two onshore substations: EW 1 onshore 

substation in Brooklyn, New York; and 

EW 2 onshore substation A in 

Oceanside, New York, or EW 2 onshore 

substation C in Island Park, New York. 

A notice of availability for the final 

EIS was published in the Federal 

Register on September 15, 2023. On 

November 15, 2023, BOEM published 

an errata on its website that included 

certain edits to the summary and 

comparison of impacts among those 

listed in the alternative table in chapter 

2 of the final EIS to correct impact 

conclusions for marine mammals. The 

errata also provides corrections to 

chapter 3 to include identification of 

species-specific cumulative impacts of 

the proposed action. These corrections 

are neither substantive nor affect the 

analysis or conclusions in the final EIS. 

After carefully considering public 

comments on the draft EIS and the 

alternatives described and analyzed in 

the final EIS, DOI selected the 

combination of Alternative C–1, 

‘‘Gravesend Anchorage Area,’’ 

Alternative D, ‘‘EW 2 Submarine Export 

Cable Route Options to Minimize 

Impacts to the Sand Borrow Area,’’ 

Alternative F, ‘‘Wind Resource 

Optimization with Modifications for 

Environmental and Technical 

Considerations,’’ Alternative G, ‘‘Cable 

Bridge Crossing of Barnums Channel 

Adjacent to Long Island Railroad 

Bridge,’’ and Alternative H, ‘‘Dredging 

for EW 1 Export Cable Landfall.’’ This 

combination of alternatives is identified 

in the final EIS as the preferred 

alternative. The anticipated mitigation, 

monitoring, and reporting requirements 

are included in the ROD and will be 

included in BOEM’s COP approval as 

terms and conditions. These 

requirements are available at: https://

www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/stateactivities/empire-wind. 

NMFS has adopted BOEM’s final EIS 

to support its decision of whether to 

issue the requested ITR and associated 

LOA to Empire Wind. NMFS’s final 

decision will be documented in a 

separate decision memorandum 

prepared in accordance with NMFS’s 

internal policy and procedures. The 

final ITR and LOA, if issued, will be 

published in the Federal Register. The 

LOA would authorize Empire Wind to 

take small numbers of marine mammal 

incidental to the Projects’ construction, 

would set forth permissible methods of 

incidental taking, would specify means 

to ensure the least practicable adverse 

impact on marine mammals and their 

habitat, and would include 

requirements for monitoring and 

reporting. Pursuant to section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act, NMFS issued 

a final biological opinion to BOEM on 

September 8, 2023, evaluating the 

effects of the proposed action on ESAlisted species. The biological opinion 

includes the associated permits, 

approvals, and authorizations that may 

be issued.
