in the Sunrise Wind COP, subject to the 

applicable mitigation measures. 

The Project as proposed in the COP 

would include up to 94 wind turbine 

generators (WTGs) within 102 potential 

locations, one offshore converter station, 

inter-array cables linking the individual 

WTGs to the offshore substation, one 

offshore export cable, one onshore 

converter station, one fiber optic cable 

co-located with the onshore 

transmission route, and onshore 

interconnection cables connecting to the 

existing electrical grid in New York. The 

WTGs, offshore substation, and interarray cables would be located on the 

OCS approximately 16.4 nautical miles 

(nm) (18.9 statute miles (mi)) south of 

Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, 

approximately 26.5 nm (30.5 mi) east of 

Montauk, New York, and 14.5 nm (16.7 

mi) from Block Island, Rhode Island, 

within the area defined by Renewable 

Energy Lease OCS–A 0487. The offshore 

export cables would be buried below the 

seabed surface on the U.S. OCS and 

State of New York-owned submerged 

lands. The onshore export cables, 

substation, and grid connection would 

be located in Holbrook, New York. 

Alternatives: BOEM considered 16 

alternatives when preparing the draft 

environmental impact statement and 

carried forward three alternatives for 

further analysis in the FEIS. These three 

alternatives include two action 

alternatives and the no action 

alternative. Thirteen alternatives were 

not analyzed in detail because they did 

not meet the purpose and need for the 

proposed action or did not meet 

screening criteria, which are presented 

in FEIS chapter 2. The screening criteria 

included consistency with law and 

regulations; technical and economic 

feasibility; environmental impacts; and 

geographic considerations. 

Availability of the FEIS: The FEIS, 

Sunrise Wind COP, and associated 

information are available on BOEM’s 

website at: https://www.boem.gov/ 

renewable-energy/state-activities/ 

sunrise-wind-activities. BOEM has

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 240 / Friday, December 15, 2023 / Notices 86929 

The initial notice of institution of this 

series of investigations was published in 

the Federal Register on September 8, 

1993 (58 FR 47287) and provided for a 

report on merchandise trade. The 

Commission expanded the scope of the 

investigation to cover services trade in 

a separate report, which it announced in 

a notice published in the Federal 

Register on December 28, 1994 (59 FR 

66974). The separate report on services 

trade has been published annually since 

1996, except in 2005. As in past years, 

the 2024 report will summarize U.S. 

trade in services in the aggregate and 

provide analyses of trends and 

developments in selected services 

industries during the latest 5-year 

period for which data are published by 

the U.S. Department of Commerce, 

Bureau of Economic Analysis. 

Written submissions: Interested 

persons are invited to file written 

submissions and other information 

concerning the matters to be addressed 

by the Commission in its 2024 report. 

For the 2024 report, the Commission is 

particularly interested in receiving 

information relating to trade in financial 

services (including banking services, 

insurance services, and securities 

services). Submissions should be

assured of consideration by the 

Commission, written submissions 

related to the Commission’s report 

should be submitted at the earliest

waiver, the Office of the Secretary will

time. Filings must be made through the 

Commission’s Electronic Document

Confidential business information: 

Any submissions that contain CBI must 

also conform with the requirements in 

section 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR

requires that the cover of the document 

and the individual pages be clearly 

marked as to whether they are the 

‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘nonconfidential’’ 

version, and that the CBI is clearly 

identified by means of brackets. All 

written submissions, except for CBI, 

will be made available for inspection by 

interested persons. 

The Commission intends to prepare 

only a public report in this 

investigation. The report that the 

Commission makes available to the 

public will not contain CBI. However, 

all information, including CBI, 

submitted in this investigation may be 

disclosed to and used: (i) by the 

Commission, its employees and Offices, 

and contract personnel (a) for 

developing or maintaining the records 

of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in 

internal investigations, audits, reviews, 

and evaluations relating to the 

programs, personnel, and operations of 

the Commission including under 5 

U.S.C. appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. 

Government employees and contract 

personnel for cybersecurity or other 

security purposes. The Commission will 

not otherwise disclose any CBI in a 

manner that would reveal the operations 

of the firm supplying the information. 

Summaries of written submissions: 

Persons wishing to have a summary of 

their position included in the report 

should include a summary with their 

written submission on or before January 

29, 2024, and should mark the summary 

as having been provided for that 

purpose. The summary should be 

clearly marked as ‘‘summary for

furnishing the summary and will 

include a link where the written 

submission can be found.
