SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposed Action: The draft EA 

analyzes the proposed action, which is 

issuing wind energy leases in the 

Central Atlantic WEAs, and the no 

action alternative. The lease sale itself 

would not authorize any activities on 

the OCS. Therefore, the EA considers 

the reasonably foreseeable 

environmental consequences of site 

characterization surveys (i.e., biological, 

archeological, geological and 

geophysical surveys, and core samples) 

and site assessment activities (i.e., 

installation of meteorological buoys), 

which are expected to take place 

following lease issuance. BOEM decided 

to prepare an EA for this proposed 

action in order to assist the agency’s 

planning and decision-making (40 CFR 

1501.5(b)). 

Availability of the Draft EA: The draft 

EA and associated information are 

available on BOEM’s website at: https:// 

www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/stateactivities/central-atlantic. If you require 

a digital copy on a flash drive or a paper 

copy, BOEM will provide one upon 

request, if supplies are available. You 

may request a flash drive or paper copy 

of the draft EA by contacting Lisa 

Landers at (703) 787–1520 or 

lisa.landers@boem.gov. 

Cooperating Agencies: The following 

Federal agencies participated as 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of the draft EA: the Bureau of Safety and 

Environmental Enforcement, National 

Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, and the 

Environmental Protection Agency. The 

Town of Ocean City, Maryland, also 

participated as a cooperating agency in 

the preparation of the draft EA. 

Information on Submitting 

Comments: All comments from 

identified individuals, businesses, and 

organizations will be available for 

public viewing on regulations.gov. Note 

that BOEM will make available for 

public inspection all comments 

submitted by organizations and 

businesses, or by individuals identifying 

themselves as representatives of 

organizations or businesses. 

a. 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 is privileged or confidential. If you 

wish to protect the confidentiality of 

such information, clearly label it and 

request that BOEM treat it as 

confidential. BOEM will not disclose 

such information if BOEM determines 

under 30 CFR 585.114(b) that it qualifies 

for exemption from disclosure under 

FOIA. Please label privileged or 

confidential information ‘‘Contains 

Confidential Information’’ and consider 

submitting such information as a 

separate attachment. 

BOEM will not treat as confidential 

any aggregate summaries of information 

or any comments not containing 

privileged or confidential information. 

Information that is not labeled as 

privileged or confidential may be 

regarded by BOEM as suitable for public 

release. 

b. Personally Identifiable Information 

BOEM discourages anonymous 

comments. Please include your name 

and address as part of your comment. 

You should be aware that your entire 

comment, including your name, 

address, and any other personally 

identifiable information (PII) that you 

include, may be made publicly 

available. 

For BOEM to consider withholding 

your PII from disclosure, you must 

identify any information contained in 

your comments that, if released, would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of your personal privacy. You 

must also 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 comment is 

subject to FOIA. If your comment is 

requested under FOIA, BOEM will 

withhold your information only if it 

determines 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. 

c. Section 304 of the NHPA (54 U.S.C. 

307103(a)) 

After consultation with the Secretary, 

BOEM is required 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 should 

designate information that falls under 

section 304 of NHPA as confidential. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 4231 et seq. 

(NEPA, as amended) and 40 CFR 1506.6.

BILLING CODE 7020–02–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Stipulation and Order Modifying 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Air 

Act 

On January 8, 2024, the Department of 

Justice lodged a proposed Stipulation 

and Order Modifying Consent Decree 

(‘‘Stipulation’’) with the United States 

District Court for the Eastern District of 

Louisiana in the lawsuit entitled United 

States and the Louisiana Department of 

Environmental Quality v. The Dow 

Chemical Company, Union Carbide 

Corp. and Performance Materials, NA, 

Inc., Civil Action No. 2:21–cv–00114– 

MLCF–JVM. 

The United States and Louisiana 

Department of Environmental Quality 

filed this lawsuit under the Clean Air 

Act and Louisiana Environmental 

Quality Act in January 2021. The 

complaint sought injunctive relief and 

civil penalties based on violations of the 

Clean Air Act’s New Source Review 

requirements, New Source Performance 

Standards, National Emissions 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 

‘‘Title V’’ program requirements and 

operating permits, and related Texas 

and Louisiana state implementation 

plan requirements. The alleged 

violations involved flares used at 

petrochemical manufacturing plants 

owned and operated by the defendants, 

The Dow Chemical Company, Union 

Carbide Corp. and Performance 

Materials, NA, Inc., in Hahnville and 

Plaquemine, Louisiana, and Freeport 

and Orange, Texas. The Consent Decree, 

approved and entered by the Court in 

June 2021, required the defendants to 

perform injunctive relief, including 

(among other things) the installation 

and operation of Flare Gas Recovery 

System (‘‘FGRS’’) compressors at the 

Orange Facility covered by the Consent 

Decree, pay a $3,000,000 civil penalty, 

and perform three state-authorized 

Beneficial Environmental Projects in 

Louisiana. 

The Stipulation lodged today changes 

the number of FGRS compressors at the 

Orange Facility to three from two; 

modifies the requirements for FGRS 

operation time to reflect the additional 

FGRS compressor (specifically, once the 

third compressor is operating, the 

Stipulation requires the Orange Facility 

to have two ‘‘Compressors Available for 

Operation or in operation 95% of the 

time and one Compressor Available for 

Operation or in operation at all times,’’ 

increased from ‘‘one Compressor 

Available for Operation or in operation 

98% of the time and two Compressors 

Available for Operation or in operation 

90% of the time’’); adds default 

molecular weights for nitrogen, natural 

gas, and methane; and corrects an 

incorrect paragraph cross reference in 

Appendix 1.2, Step 2, of the Consent 

Decree. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

proposed Stipulation. Comments should 

be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 

General, Environment and Natural 

Resources Division, and should refer to
