particularly if the improvements cost 

them time or money. 

a. What are the primary barriers to 

customers investing in upgrades that 

should reduce their risk? 

b. What are some examples of security 

improvements where customer adoption 

was swift despite those barriers? What 

factors made customer upgrades more 

likely? How much did the software 

manufacturer need to invest in dollars 

or customer outreach to achieve broad 

adoption? 

10. Threat modeling. Threat modeling 

is a technique used to identify assets 

and threats and to design, implement, 

and validate mitigations. 

a. What are some examples of threat 

models that software manufacturers 

have made public? 

b. What are some best practices for 

publishing a high-level threat model 

that will demonstrate to customers that 

the software manufacturer has adopted 

a robust threat-modeling program as 

part of its SDLC? 

11. Charging for security features. 

Companies often charge more for 

security features. Companies may 

choose to include security features only 

in higher-product tiers, or they may 

charge for it as a separate line item. For 

example, some software companies 

charge customers more when they want 

to use a single sign-on (SSO) service or 

if the customer wants access to all 

security related audit logs. CISA seeks 

additional information about how 

software manufacturers might decide to 

charge for a feature or to include it in 

the base price. 

a. How do software manufacturers 

decide which pricing model is 

appropriate? 

b. What considerations do they factor 

into their decision? 

12. Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is 

software and therefore should adhere to 

the three secure by design principles. 

a. What additional security 

considerations are necessary for the 

development of secure AI? 

13. Operational Technology (OT). OT 

systems can differ significantly from 

information technology (IT) systems. OT 

systems operate in different 

environments in which availability is 

the main priority. Unlike some IT 

systems that are refreshed or replaced 

every few years, some OT systems may 

operate in the field for a decade or more. 

a. Which OT products or companies 

have implemented some of the core 

tenants of secure by design engineering? 

b. What priority levels do customers 

place on security features and product 

attributes? What incentives would likely 

lead customers to increase their demand 

for security features, even if it costs 

more? 

c. Where could targeted investments 

be made to raise and scale security 

levels across OT?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

December 2022, through a competitive 

leasing process under 30 CFR 585.211, 

BOEM auctioned Renewable Energy 

Leases OCS–P 0561, 0562, 0563, 0564, 

and 0565 offshore California. These 

leases total over 373,000 acres. These 

are the first wind energy leases offshore 

California and are anticipated to be 

commercially developed with floating 

foundations in waters from 500 to 1,300 

meters deep. Three of the leases are 

offshore central California, near Morro 

Bay. The other two leases are offshore 

northern California, near Humboldt Bay. 

All leases grant the lessees the exclusive 

right to submit construction and 

operation plans (COPs) to BOEM 

proposing the construction, operation, 

and conceptual decommissioning of 

offshore wind energy facilities in the 

lease areas. BOEM identified these lease 

areas through an extensive datagathering and engagement process that 

included the BOEM California 

Intergovernmental Renewable Energy 

Task Force, comprised of the State of 

California, numerous Tribal Nations, 

Federal agencies, and local 

governments. 

The PEIS will analyze the potential 

impacts of wind energy development in 

the five lease areas offshore California 

and consider measures that can be taken 

to avoid or reduce those impacts. The 

PEIS proposed action is the 

identification of programmatic

88108 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 20, 2023 / Notices 

1See 40 CFR 1508.1(s) for the definition of 

‘‘mitigation.’’ 

mitigation measures 1 to lessen 

environmental impacts of wind energy 

development in the lease areas. BOEM 

may require mitigation measures as 

conditions of approval for activities 

proposed by lessees in their COPs. 

These measures may include the 

avoidance, minimization, mitigation, 

and monitoring (AMMM) measures 

previously used by BOEM in prior 

offshore wind energy project 

documents. 

BOEM may require all, some, or 

additional mitigation measures before 

approving a specific COP if its 

environmental analysis warrants. The 

PEIS will neither analyze a specific COP 

nor result in the approval of any 

construction and operation activities. 

Purpose of and Need for the Proposed 

Action 

The purpose of the Proposed Action 

is to identify, analyze, and adopt, as 

appropriate, potential mitigation 

measures to be applied to the five 

California leases issued in 2023 in the 

event a COP is approved and identify 

minor or negligible impacts so that sitespecific reviews can focus on moderate 

or major impacts and analyze regional 

cumulative impacts. This approach will 

allow BOEM to focus subsequent siteand project-specific environmental 

analyses and consultations on the 

unique impacts of individual proposed 

wind energy projects and on cumulative 

regional impacts. These subsequent 

analyses and consultations will identify 

the AMMM measures that are best 

suited for an individual project. Lessees 

also may incorporate mitigation 

measures into their proposed COPs. 

Project-specific environmental analysis 

under NEPA for individual project COPs 

may tier to or incorporate by reference 

this PEIS. 

These steps will help BOEM make 

timely decisions on COPs submitted by 

lessees for the Humboldt and Morro Bay 

lease areas. Timely decisions further the 

United States’ policy to make Outer 

Continental Shelf energy resources 

available for expeditious and orderly 

development, subject to environmental 

safeguards (43 U.S.C. 1332(3)) and other 

requirements listed at 43 U.S.C. 

1337(p)(4). Wind energy development 

on the leaseholds will assist with 

meeting Federal and State renewable 

energy goals, including the Federal 

Government’s goals of deploying 30 

gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy 

capacity by 2030 and 15 GW of floating 

offshore wind capacity by 2035, and 

California’s goal of 2–5 GW of offshore 

wind energy generation by 2030. 

Proposed Action and Preliminary 

Alternatives 

As noted above, the Proposed Action 

is the adoption of programmatic 

mitigation measures that lessees may 

incorporate or that BOEM may require 

as conditions of approval in COPs 

submitted for the California leases. The 

Proposed Action does not include the 

approval of any activity, nor does it 

require any specific action by BOEM or 

lessees. BOEM may require additional 

or modified measures based on 

subsequent site-specific NEPA analysis 

or the parameters of specific COPs. The 

analysis of the Proposed Action 

considers the change in potential 

impacts resulting from the application 

of mitigation measures. For purposes of 

the analysis, BOEM is creating a 

hypothetical development scenario 

based on a representative project design 

envelope. The National Renewable 

Energy Lab created this design envelope 

with the input of the lessees that will be 

submitting the COPs for the California 

leases. 

The PEIS will also include analysis of 

a no action alternative, which will 

evaluate the potential impacts of no 

development of the five lease areas 

offshore California. The no action 

alternative will include context that can 

be used in COP-specific NEPA analyses 

as a baseline against which proposed 

actions described in a COP may be 

compared. 

The draft PEIS will also include an 

alternative that analyzes the impacts of 

not adopting the programmatic 

mitigation measures for a representative 

project offshore California. This 

alternative will facilitate comparison of 

the potential impacts from a 

hypothetical development scenario, 

developed with input from California 

lessees, with and without the mitigation 

measures. This scenario will have a 

range of parameters that encompasses 

the technical aspects expected in the 

potential future COPs. In addition, this 

alternative will provide analyses that 

can be incorporated in the COP-specific 

NEPA analysis, as appropriate, to allow 

more attention on issues particular to 

the specific COP. 

BOEM also may evaluate additional 

reasonable alternatives to the Proposed 

Action identified during the scoping 

period. 

Summary of Potential Impacts 

Potential impacts to resources may 

include adverse or beneficial impacts on 

air quality, bats, benthic habitat, birds, 

essential fish habitat, invertebrates, 

finfish, marine mammals, terrestrial and 

coastal habitats and fauna, sea turtles, 

wetlands and other waters of the United 

States, commercial fisheries and 

recreational fishing, cultural resources, 

demographics, employment, economics, 

environmental justice, land use and 

coastal infrastructure, navigation and 

vessel traffic, other marine uses, 

recreation and tourism, and scenic and 

visual resources. These potential 

impacts will be analyzed in the draft 

and final PEIS. 

Based on a preliminary evaluation of 

these resources, BOEM estimates that 

potential impacts may occur on certain 

marine life from underwater noise 

caused by construction and on marine 

mammals from collisions with projectrelated vessel traffic. Structures 

installed by the projects could 

permanently change benthic and fish 

habitats. Commercial fisheries 

(including Tribal fisheries) and 

recreational fishing could be impacted. 

Project structures above the water could 

affect the visual character defining 

historic properties, properties of 

traditional religious and cultural 

significance, and recreational and 

tourism areas. Project structures may 

also pose an allision hazard to vessels. 

Additionally, the projects could create 

space-use conflicts with military 

activities, air traffic, land-based radar 

services, cables, and scientific surveys. 

Beneficial impacts are also expected, 

including the creation of new habitat, 

job creation, and the potential reduction 

in carbon emissions when renewable 

energy replaces carbon-based energy 

generation. 

Anticipated Authorizations and 

Consultations 

Neither the PEIS nor the resulting 

programmatic record of decision (ROD) 

will authorize any activities or approve 

any plans submitted by any lessee. The 

PEIS and ROD will provide a regional 

environmental analysis and framework 

to support future decision-making on 

individual COPs. When COPs are 

submitted to BOEM, BOEM will 

evaluate the site-specific project impacts 

by preparing additional environmental 

analyses that may tier from this PEIS or 

may incorporate it by reference. Based 

on the site-specific analyses, BOEM may 

approve, approve with modifications, or 

disapprove individual COPs. Neither 

this PEIS nor its associated ROD will 

result in a final agency action approving 

individual COPs. 

In conjunction with this PEIS, BOEM 

may undertake various consultations in 

accordance with applicable Federal 

laws, such as the Endangered Species 

Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 20, 2023 / Notices 88109 

Conservation and Management Act, 

National Historic Preservation Act 

(NHPA), Marine Mammal Protection 

Act, Rivers and Harbors Act, Clean 

Water Act, and the Coastal Zone 

Management Act. However, BOEM may 

determine that some of these 

consultations are better suited for the 

COP-specific analyses. BOEM will also 

invite Tribal government-to-government 

consultations. 

Decision-Making Schedule 

BOEM currently expects to publish 

the draft PEIS for public comment in 

September 2024. After the public 

comment period ends, BOEM will 

review and respond to the comments 

and will develop the final PEIS. BOEM 

currently expects to make the final PEIS 

available to the public in December 

2025. BOEM will issue a ROD no sooner 

than 30 days after the final PEIS is made 

available. 

The ROD is expected to (1) identify 

certain programmatic mitigation 

measures that BOEM may require, if 

appropriate, as conditions of approval 

for COPs submitted on these five 

California leases, (2) identify the 

mitigation measures that are better 

analyzed and considered in a COPspecific NEPA analysis, and (3) allow 

BOEM to use a tiered review process 

that relies on the PEIS analyses for the 

COPs submitted on these five California 

leases. 

Scoping Process: This NOI 

commences the public scoping process 

to identify issues and potential 

alternatives for consideration in this 

PEIS. Please visit https://

www.boem.gov/california for virtual 

meeting locations, dates, times, and 

registration information. The scoping 

process provides the public, Federal 

agencies, and Tribal, State, and local 

governments with the opportunity to 

help BOEM identify resources, issues, 

impacts, possible mitigation measures 

(e.g., project size, geographic location, 

facility siting, and seasonal or other 

restrictions on construction), and 

reasonable alternatives to consider in 

the PEIS analysis. 

BOEM will also use the NEPA process 

to comply with public participation 

requirements under section 106 of the 

NHPA (54 U.S.C. 300101 et seq.), as 

permitted by 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). 

Through this notice, BOEM seeks public 

comment and input regarding the 

historic properties potentially affected 

by and the potential effects on those 

properties from activities associated 

with approval of wind energy 

development under these five leases 

offshore California. Information on 

cultural resources will help BOEM 

identify and evaluate impacts from the 

placement, development, and operation 

of offshore wind energy. 

NEPA Cooperating Agencies: BOEM 

invites other Federal agencies and 

Tribal, State, and local governments to 

consider becoming cooperating agencies 

in the preparation of this PEIS. The 

Council on Environmental Quality 

(CEQ) NEPA regulations specify that 

qualified cooperating agencies are those 

with ‘‘jurisdiction by law or special 

expertise’’ over potential environmental 

impacts of a proposed project. See 40 

CFR 1508.1(e). Potential cooperating 

agencies should consider their authority 

and capacity to assume the 

responsibilities of a cooperating agency. 

A cooperating agency’s role in the 

environmental analysis neither enlarges 

nor diminishes the final decisionmaking authority of any other agency 

involved in the NEPA process. 

Upon request, BOEM will provide 

potential cooperating agencies with a 

written summary of expectations for 

cooperating agencies, including 

schedules, milestones, responsibilities, 

scope and detail of cooperating 

agencies’ expected contributions, and 

availability of pre-decisional 

information. BOEM anticipates this 

summary will form the basis for a 

memorandum of agreement between 

BOEM and any non-Department of the 

Interior cooperating agency. Agencies 

also should consider the factors for 

determining cooperating agency status 

in the CEQ memorandum entitled 

‘‘Cooperating Agencies in Implementing 

the Procedural Requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act,’’ 

dated January 30, 2002. This document 

is available on the internet at: https://

www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/ 

nepapub/nepa_documents/RedDont/GCEQ-CoopAgenciesImplem.pdf. 

BOEM does not typically provide 

financial assistance to cooperating 

agencies. Governmental entities that are 

not cooperating agencies will have 

opportunities to provide information 

and comments to BOEM during the 

public input stages of the NEPA process. 

Comments: Federal agencies; Tribal, 

State, and local governments; and other 

interested parties are requested to 

comment on the scope of this PEIS, 

significant issues that should be 

addressed, and reasonable alternatives 

that should be considered. For 

information on how to submit 

comments, see the ADDRESSES section 

above. 

Personally Identifiable Information 

(PII): BOEM discourages anonymous 

comments. Please include your name 

with your comment. You should be 

aware that your entire comment, 

including your name and any other PII 

included in your comment, may be 

made publicly available. All comments 

from individuals, businesses, and 

organizations will be available for 

public viewing one regulations.gov. 

Individuals can request that BOEM 

withhold their names, addresses, or 

other PII included in their comment 

from the public record. However, BOEM 

cannot guarantee that it will be able to 

do so. To help BOEM determine 

whether to withhold your PII from 

disclosure, you must identify in a cover 

letter any information contained in your 

comments that, if released, would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of your privacy. You also must 

briefly describe any possible harmful 

consequences of the disclosure of 

information, such as embarrassment, 

injury, or other harm. Even if BOEM 

withholds your information in the 

context of this notice, your submission 

is subject to the Freedom of Information 

Act (FOIA). If your submission is 

requested under FOIA, your information 

will only be withheld if a determination 

is made that one of FOIA’s exemptions 

to disclosure applies. Such a 

determination will be made in 

accordance with the Department’s FOIA 

regulations and applicable law. 

Additionally, under section 304 of the 

NHPA, BOEM is required, after 

consultation with the Secretary of the 

Interior, to withhold the location, 

character, or ownership of historic 

resources if it determines that disclosure 

may, among other things, risk harm to 

the historic resources or impede the use 

of a traditional religious site by 

practitioners. Tribal entities and other 

parties providing information on 

historic resources should designate 

information that falls under section 304 

of the NHPA as confidential and 

provide their reasons. 

All submissions from organizations or 

businesses and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses will be 

made available for public inspection in 

their entirety. 

Request for Identification of Potential 

Alternatives, Information, and 

Analyses Relevant to the Proposed 

Action 

BOEM requests data, comments, 

information, analysis, alternatives, or 

suggestions relevant to the analysis of 

the Proposed Action from the public; 

affected Federal, Tribal, State, and local 

governments, agencies, and offices; the 

scientific community; industry; or any 

other interested party. Specifically,

minerals, military use, aviation), 

recreation and tourism, and scenic and 

visual resources, specifically if further 

visual analyses beyond the existing 

2019 California visual simulations (see 

https://www.boem.gov/california) could 

sufficiently inform potential 

programmatic mitigation measures 

without the site-specific project 

information that would be available to 

BOEM when it undertakes further 

viewshed analysis at the construction 

and operations review phase. 

2. Information on other current or 

planned activities in, or in the vicinity 

of, the five California wind energy lease 

areas under analysis. 

3. Possible alternatives and the

environment from California wind 

energy development in the five lease 

areas, including any mitigation 

measures. 

5. Information on the following for the 

development of the representative 

project design envelope and activities 

scenario: layout of turbines (analyze one 

or more standard layouts); setbacks 

identified in the leases; size (wind 

turbine generator nameplate capacity), 

dimensions (tip height, hub height, and 

rotor diameter) and number of turbines; 

offshore substation type, dimensions, 

number, and location; type of 

foundation or mooring design; 

foundation or mooring installation 

method; scour protection; approach to 

cable emplacement (installation 

methods and disturbance corridor 

width); location of landfalls; onshore 

substation location; point of grid 

interconnection; ports, fabrication 

facilities, and staging areas; timing of 

onshore and offshore activities; and 

associated activities such as vessel trips. 

6. BOEM also seeks comment and 

input from the public and consulting 

parties under section 106 of the NHPA 

regarding the identification of other 

potential consulting parties, the 

identification of historic properties 

offshore California, the potential effects 

on those historic properties from 

California offshore wind energy 

development alternatives, including any 

mitigation measures, and any 

information that supports identification 

of historic properties under NHPA. 

To promote informed decisionmaking, comments should be as specific 

as possible and should provide as much 

detail as necessary to meaningfully and 

fully inform BOEM of the commenter’s 

position. Comments must explain why 

the issues raised are important for 

consideration in the analysis. The draft 

PEIS will include a summary of all 

alternatives, information, and analyses 

submitted during this scoping process.
