DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 

[Docket No. BOEM–2014–0050; 

MMAA104000] 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for 

Proposed Wind Energy-Related 

Development Activities on the Pacific 

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) 

Offshore Oregon and Notice of Public 

Scoping Meetings 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management (BOEM), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 

4231 et seq.), BOEM intends to prepare 

an Environmental Assessment (EA) to 

consider the reasonably foreseeable 

environmental consequences associated 

with the issuance of a lease and 

approval of plans proposed by Principle 

Power, Inc. (Principle Power) for wind 

energy-related development activities 

offshore Oregon. We are seeking public 

input regarding important 

environmental issues and the 

identification of alternatives that should 

be considered in the EA. 

In addition to the request for written 

comments, we are holding two public 

scoping meetings to provide information 

and solicit comments on the scope of 

the EA. The meetings will be held from 

1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 

8:00 p.m. PDT on Tuesday, June 17, 

2014 at the Coos Bay Public Library, 525 

Anderson Avenue, Coos Bay, Oregon 

97420. 

Authority: The Notice of Intent to prepare 

an EA is published pursuant to 43 CFR 

46.305. 

DATES: Comments should be submitted 

no later than July 28, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Greg 

Sanders, BOEM Pacific OCS Region, 770

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

On May 15, 2013, BOEM received an 

unsolicited request from Principle 

Power for a commercial wind energy 

lease on the OCS offshore Coos Bay, 

Oregon. Principle Power’s proposal, the 

WindFloat Pacific Project, is to install a 

floating wind energy demonstration 

facility approximately 16 nautical miles 

from shore in a water depth of 

approximately 1,400 feet. The total area 

being considered in the EA 

encompasses approximately 15 square 

miles. However, the lease will include 

only the portion of the 15-square-mile 

area necessary for project facilities. The 

project is designed to generate up to 30 

megawatts (MW) of electricity from five 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 103 / Thursday, May 29, 2014 / Notices 30877 

floating WindFloat units, each equipped 

with a 6–MW offshore wind turbine. 

Each unit would be moored with 

multiple anchors to the seafloor, and be 

connected to a single transmission cable 

running along the seafloor to shore. 

Additional information on Principle 

Power’s unsolicited lease request and 

maps of the proposed lease site can be 

viewed at http://www.boem.gov/StateActivities-Oregon/. 

On September 30, 2013, we published 

a notice of the unsolicited lease request 

and a Request for Interest (RFI) to 

determine whether anyone had an 

interest in acquiring a commercial wind 

lease in the area identified by Principle 

Power (78 FR 59969). The notice also 

provided the opportunity for interested 

stakeholders to comment on the 

proposed lease area, the proposed 

project and potential impacts wind 

energy development may have on the 

area. 

No indications of competitive interest 

were received in response to the notice, 

and BOEM published a Determination 

of No Competitive Interest on February 

6, 2014 (79 FR 7225). Stakeholder 

comments received in response to the 

RFI are being considered during our 

scoping process. 

2. Purpose and Need for Agency Action 

BOEM will process Principle Power’s 

unsolicited lease request under the 

provisions at 30 CFR Part 585, 

Renewable Energy and Alternate Uses of 

Existing Facilities on the Outer 

Continental Shelf. These regulations 

provide for lease issuance and approval 

of plans for construction and operation 

of renewable energy facilities. 

3. Proposed Action and Scope of 

Analysis 

BOEM’s proposed action is the 

issuance of a commercial lease and the 

approval of a construction and 

operation plan for the WindFloat Pacific 

Project. The EA will consider the 

reasonably foreseeable environmental 

consequences associated with the 

proposed action, including the impacts 

of the construction, operation, 

maintenance and decommissioning of 

wind turbines and cables. 

This notice is intended to further 

engage the public in the scoping process 

for this EA. We are soliciting 

information regarding important 

environmental issues and alternatives 

that should be considered in the EA. 

Alternatives currently under 

consideration include the proposal 

submitted by Principle Power and a noaction alternative. Environmental 

resources we expect to evaluate in the 

EA include benthic invertebrates, fish, 

birds, bats and marine mammals. We 

will also consider other human uses in 

the vicinity of the proposed project, 

including commercial and sport fishing, 

recreation and vessel traffic. 

If at any time during preparation of 

the EA we determine that an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) is 

needed, we will issue a Notice of Intent 

(NOI) to prepare an EIS in the Federal 

Register. In that case, scoping comments 

you submit now will be considered for 

the development of an EIS. 

4. Other Environmental Review and 

Consultation Processes 

BOEM will also use responses to this 

notice and the EA public involvement 

process to satisfy the public 

involvement requirements of the 

National Historic Preservation Act (16 

U.S.C. 470f), as provided in 36 CFR 

800.2(d)(3). We are seeking information 

from the public on the identification of 

historic properties that may be affected 

by the WindFloat Pacific Project. The 

analyses contained within the EA also 

will support compliance with other 

environmental statutes (e.g., Endangered 

Species Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, 

Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Marine 

Mammal Protection Act). 

5. Cooperating Agencies 

It is BOEM’s intent to prepare an EA 

that will inform all Federal decisions 

related to Principle Power’s proposal, 

and we invite Federal, state and local 

government agencies to consider 

becoming cooperating agencies in the 

preparation of this EA. Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations 

implementing the procedural provisions 

of NEPA define cooperating agencies as 

those with ‘‘jurisdiction by law or 

special expertise’’ (40 CFR 1508.5). 

Potential cooperating agencies should 

consider their authority and capacity to 

assume the responsibilities of a 

cooperating agency and remember that 

an agency’s role in the environmental 

analysis neither enlarges nor diminishes 

the final decision-making authority of 

any other agency involved in the NEPA 

process. 

Even if an organization is not a 

cooperating agency, opportunities will 

exist to provide information and 

comments to BOEM during the normal 

public involvement phases of the NEPA 

process. 

6. Comments 

Federal, state, local government 

agencies, tribal governments and other 

interested parties are requested to send 

written comments on the important 

issues to be considered in the EA by any 

of the following methods: 

1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: 

http://www.regulations.gov. In the field 

entitled ‘‘Enter Keyword or ID,’’ enter 

BOEM–2014–0050, and then click 

‘‘search.’’ Follow the instructions to 

submit public comments and view 

supporting and related materials

2. By U.S. Postal Service or other 

delivery service, send your comments 

and information to the following 

address: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Pacific OCS Region, 

Attention: Greg Sanders, Office of 

Environment, 770 Paseo Camarillo, 2nd 

Floor, Camarillo, California 93010; or 

3. In person at one of the EA public 

scoping meetings. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment, including your 

personal identifying information may be 

made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comments 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
