SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose of and Need for the Proposed 

Action 

In February 2022, through a 

competitive leasing process under 30 

CFR 585.211, BOEM awarded 

Commercial Leases OCS–A 0537, 0538, 

0539, 0541, 0542, and 0544 covering an 

area offshore New York and New Jersey 

known as the NY Bight and totaling over 

488,000 acres. The 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. 

Through an intergovernmental 

renewable energy task force that 

included the States of New York and 

New Jersey and numerous Federal 

agencies and Tribal and local 

governments, BOEM identified these 

lease areas for consideration in 

development of commercial-scale 

offshore wind energy projects, subject to 

the appropriate reviews and approvals. 

Potential development of the 

leaseholds would assist with meeting 

several State mandates for renewable 

energy. New Jersey’s goal of 7.5 

gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy 

generation by 2035 is outlined in New 

Jersey Executive Order No. 92, issued on 

November 19, 2019. New York’s goal of 

9.0 GW of offshore wind energy 

generation by 2035 is outlined in the 

Climate Leadership and Community 

Protection Act, signed into law on July 

18, 2019. Based on a conservative power 

ratio of 3 megawatts per square 

kilometer, BOEM estimates that full 

development of leases in this area has 

the potential to create up to 5.6 to 7 GW 

of offshore wind energy. 

The Proposed Action for the PEIS is 

the adoption of programmatic AMMM 

measures that BOEM may require as 

conditions of approval for activities 

proposed by lessees in COPs submitted 

for the NY Bight unless the COP-specific 

NEPA analysis shows that 

implementation of such measures is not 

warranted or effective. BOEM may 

require additional or different measures 

based on subsequent, site-specific NEPA 

analysis or the parameters of specific 

COPs. These AMMM measures are 

considered programmatic insofar as they 

may be applied to COPs within the 

whole NY Bight area, not because they 

necessarily will apply to COPs under 

BOEM’s renewable energy program 

outside of the NY Bight area. The PEIS 

will analyze the potential impacts of 

development in the NY Bight and how 

those impacts can be avoided, 

minimized, or mitigated by AMMM 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
42496 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 135 / Friday, July 15, 2022 / Notices 

measures. However, the Proposed 

Action will not result in the approval of 

any activities. 

The purpose of the Proposed Action 

is to identify, analyze, and adopt, as 

appropriate, issues, degree of potential 

impacts, and AMMM measures. The 

site-specific NEPA analyses and 

consultations for each proposed wind 

energy project will focus on the impacts 

of approving a particular COP, 

including identification of AMMM 

measures that are best suited for 

consideration in the COP-specific NEPA 

analysis. The Proposed Action is needed 

to help BOEM make timely decisions on 

COPs submitted for the NY Bight. 

Timely decisions further the United 

States policy to make Outer Continental 

Shelf (OCS) 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), including protection of the 

environment, among several other 

factors. Project-specific NEPA analysis 

for individual COPs will tier to or 

incorporate by reference this PEIS and 

could apply additional or different 

AMMM measures as needed. 

A broader approach to the NEPA 

analysis for the six COPs expected for 

the NY Bight is consistent with 

Executive Order 14008, ‘‘Tackling the 

Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,’’ 

issued on January 27, 2021. In that 

order, President Biden stated that the 

policy of his administration is ‘‘to 

organize and deploy the full capacity of 

its agencies to combat the climate crisis 

to implement a Government-wide 

approach that reduces climate pollution 

in every sector of the economy; 

increases resilience to the impacts of 

climate change; protects public health; 

conserves our lands, waters, and 

biodiversity; delivers environmental 

justice; and spurs well-paying union 

jobs and economic growth, especially 

through innovation, commercialization, 

and deployment of clean energy 

technologies and infrastructure.’’ To 

support the goals outlined in Executive 

Order 14008, the administration has 

also announced plans to increase 

renewable energy production, with a 

goal of 30 GW of offshore wind energy 

capacity by 2030. 

Through the development of this 

PEIS, BOEM will address the following 

objectives: 

• Analysis of the impacts expected 

from a representative project in the NY 

Bight that is informed by input provided 

by the lessees on the type of projects 

they intend to develop; 

• Analysis of programmatic AMMM 

measures for the NY Bight; 

• Focused, regional cumulative 

analysis; 

• Identification of minor or negligible 

impacts so that site-specific reviews can 

focus on moderate or major impacts; 

and 

• Tiering of project-specific 

environmental analyses. 

The analysis in this PEIS will provide 

a framework for its integration with sitespecific NEPA reviews. The framework 

will provide a way for project-specific 

analyses to determine whether the 

project will have greater, equal, or fewer 

impacts than those that were analyzed 

in the PEIS by considering the level of 

action analyzed and the particularities 

of the site. Future COP-specific NEPA 

documents will make impact 

determinations for the specific project 

and affected resources and will focus on 

moderate to major impacts. The COPspecific NEPA analyses of potential 

impacts to resources will not generally 

revisit resources for which the PEIS 

analysis has indicated that the impact is 

likely to be negligible to minor. 

However, these impacts may be 

revisited if warranted by particular 

characteristics of the site or proposed 

project that suggest that the impact 

determination might shift to moderate 

or major. 

Proposed Action and Preliminary 

Alternatives 

As noted above, the Proposed Action 

does not include the approval of any 

activities. The Proposed Action is the 

adoption of programmatic AMMM 

measures that BOEM may require as 

conditions of approval for activities 

proposed by lessees in COPs submitted 

for the NY Bight. 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 AMMM 

measures. The analysis of the Proposed 

Action assumes that a representative 

project will be developed for the NY 

Bight and considers the potential 

impacts of that development on the 

environment. The activities scenario 

upon which analysis of the Proposed 

Action is based is that of a 

representative project, including 

associated export cables, within a range 

of design parameters informed by 

lessees. By developing the activities 

scenario based on a representative 

project design envelope created with the 

input of the lessees that will be 

submitting the COPs for the NY Bight, 

BOEM avoids engaging in speculative 

analysis of potential impacts. The 

Proposed Action does not itself require 

any actions by BOEM or lessees. 

If any reasonable alternatives to the 

Proposed Action are identified during 

the scoping period, BOEM will evaluate 

those alternatives in the draft PEIS, 

which will also include a no action 

alternative (NAA). The NAA considers 

no development of the lease areas in the 

NY Bight. This alternative provides 

analysis for tiering at the COP-specific 

NEPA stage, including context that can 

be used in COP-specific NEPA analyses 

and against which proposed actions at 

the COP-specific stage may be 

compared. In addition, the analysis of 

the adoption of AMMM measures for 

the NY Bight is predicated upon an 

understanding of the impacts of 

development, which in turn are 

predicated on an understanding of the 

impacts of no development. 

The draft PEIS will also include an 

alternative that analyzes the impacts of 

not adopting the programmatic AMMM 

measures for a representative project in 

the NY Bight. This alternative will 

facilitate comparison of the potential 

impacts from a representative project 

with and without the AMMM measures. 

In addition, this alternative will provide 

analyses that can be incorporated at the 

COP-specific stage and allow the 

analysis at that stage to focus on issues 

particular to the specific COP. 

Summary of Potential Impacts 

Potential impacts to resources may 

include adverse or beneficial impacts on 

air quality, water quality, bats, benthic 

habitat, essential fish habitat, 

invertebrates, finfish, birds, marine 

mammals, terrestrial and coastal 

habitats and fauna, sea turtles, wetlands 

and other waters of the United States, 

commercial fisheries and for-hire 

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 expects potential 

impacts on certain marine life from 

underwater noise caused by 

construction and on marine mammals 

from collisions with project-related 

vessel traffic. Structures installed by the 

projects could permanently change 

benthic and fish habitats (e.g., creation 

of artificial reefs). Commercial fisheries 

and for-hire recreational fishing could 

be impacted. Project structures above 

the water could affect the visual 

character defining historic properties 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 135 / Friday, July 15, 2022 / Notices 42497 

and recreational and tourism areas. 

Project structures also would pose an 

allision and height hazard to vessels 

passing close by, and vessels would, in 

turn, pose a hazard to the structures. 

Additionally, the projects could cause 

conflicts with military activities, air 

traffic, land-based radar services, cables 

and pipelines, and scientific surveys. 

Beneficial impacts are also expected by 

facilitating achievement of State 

renewable energy goals, increasing job 

opportunities, improving air quality, 

and reducing carbon emissions. 

Anticipated Authorizations and 

Consultations 

Neither the PEIS nor the resulting 

programmatic record of decision (ROD) 

will authorize any activities or approve 

any individual applications. The PEIS 

and ROD will provide a programmatic 

environmental analysis and framework 

to support future decision-making on 

individual COP submittals. When COPs 

are submitted to BOEM, the site-specific 

characteristics of the project will be 

evaluated by preparing additional 

environmental analyses that may tier 

from this PEIS or may incorporate it by 

reference. Based on the site-specific 

applications and evaluations, BOEM 

may then reach a site-specific 

determination and approve, approve 

with modifications, or deny individual 

COPs. This PEIS will inform future 

BOEM decisions on COP submittals but 

will not approve or authorize any 

applications or plans. Therefore, neither 

this PEIS nor its resulting ROD would 

constitute a final agency action 

authorizing or approving any individual 

COPs. 

In conjunction with this PEIS, BOEM 

will undertake various consultations in 

accordance with applicable Federal 

laws, such as the Endangered Species 

Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, 

National Historic Preservation Act, 

Marine Mammal Protection Act, Rivers 

and Harbors Act, Clean Water Act, and 

the Coastal Zone Management Act. 

However, it may be determined that 

some of these consultations are better 

suited for the COP-specific decision 

stage. BOEM will also conduct 

government-to-government Tribal 

consultations. 

Decision-Making Schedule 

After the draft PEIS is completed, 

BOEM will publish a notice of 

availability (NOA) and request public 

comments on the draft PEIS. BOEM 

currently expects to issue the NOA in 

September 2023. After the public 

comment period ends, BOEM will 

review and respond to comments 

received and will develop the final 

PEIS. BOEM currently expects to make 

the final PEIS available to the public in 

June 2024. BOEM would issue any ROD 

no sooner than 30 days after the final 

PEIS is made available. 

The ROD for the NY Bight PEIS is 

expected to (1) identify certain 

programmatic AMMM measures that 

BOEM may require as conditions of 

approval on COPs in the NY Bight, (2) 

identify the AMMM measures that 

should (or should not) be considered in 

a COP-specific NEPA analysis, and (3) 

require BOEM to use a tiered review 

process that relies on the analyses in the 

PEIS for the COPs expected to be filed 

for the six leases issued in the NY Bight. 

Scoping Process 

This NOI commences the public 

scoping process to identify issues and 

potential alternatives for consideration 

in the NY Bight PEIS. BOEM will hold 

virtual public scoping meetings at the 

times and dates described above under 

the DATES caption. Throughout the 

scoping process, Federal agencies, 

Tribal, State, and local governments, 

and the public have the opportunity to 

help BOEM identify significant 

resources and issues, impact-producing 

factors, and reasonable alternatives for 

AMMM measures (e.g., size, geographic, 

seasonal, or other restrictions on 

construction and siting of facilities and 

activities) to be analyzed in the PEIS, as 

well as to provide additional 

information. 

BOEM will also use the NEPA 

comment process to initiate the section 

106 consultation process under the 

National Historic Preservation Act 

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

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

Through this notice, BOEM intends to 

inform its section 106 consultation by 

seeking public comment and input 

regarding the identification of historic 

properties affected by or potential 

effects to historic properties from 

activities associated with approval of 

wind energy development in the NY 

Bight. 

Before publication of this NOI, BOEM 

met with NY Bight leaseholders, 

interested Federal agencies, Tribal 

governments, and other potential State 

partners to provide information on the 

NY Bight programmatic approach. 

Additionally, BOEM met separately 

with the National Marine Fisheries 

Service and the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers to discuss how the 

programmatic analysis may support and 

streamline their project-level approvals, 

as well as with the Advisory Council on 

Historic Preservation to discuss 

potential approaches to section 106 

consultation. 

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 agencies and governments are 

those with ‘‘jurisdiction by law or 

special expertise.’’ Potential cooperating 

agencies should consider their authority 

and capacity to assume the 

responsibilities of a cooperating agency 

and should be aware 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. 

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: 

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

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

BOEM, as the lead agency, does not 

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 alternatives that should 

be considered. For information on how 

to submit comments, see the ADDRESSES

section above. 

BOEM does not consider anonymous 

comments. Please include your name 

and address as part of your comment. 

BOEM makes all comments, including 

the names, addresses, and other 

personally identifiable information 

included in the comment, available for 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
42498 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 135 / Friday, July 15, 2022 / Notices 

public review online. Individuals can 

request that BOEM withhold their 

names, addresses, or other personally 

identifiable information 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 from 

disclosure your personally identifiable 

information, 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. 

Additionally, under section 304 of 

NHPA, BOEM is required, after 

consultation with the Secretary of the 

Interior, to withhold the location, 

character, or ownership of historic 

property if it determines that disclosure 

may, among other things, cause a 

significant invasion of privacy, risk 

harm to the historic property, 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 they wish to be held as 

confidential and provide the reasons 

why BOEM should do so. 

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, 

views, 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, BOEM requests 

information on the following topics: 

1. Potential AMMM measures, 

including NY Bight wind energy 

development alternatives, and the 

effects these could have on— 

a. biological resources, including bats, 

birds, coastal fauna, finfish, 

invertebrates, essential fish habitat, 

marine mammals, and sea turtles; 

b. physical resources and conditions 

including air quality, water quality, 

wetlands, and other waters of the 

United States; and 

c. socioeconomic and cultural 

resources, including commercial 

fisheries and for-hire recreational 

fishing, demographics, employment, 

economics, environmental justice, land 

use and coastal infrastructure, 

navigation and vessel traffic, other uses 

(marine minerals, military use, 

aviation), recreation and tourism, and 

scenic and visual resources. 

2. As part of its compliance with 

section 106 of the NHPA and the 

implementing regulations (36 CFR part 

800), BOEM intends to develop a 

section 106 programmatic agreement 

(PA) through consultation with the State 

Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs), 

federally-recognized Tribes, the 

Advisory Council on Historic 

Preservation, and consulting parties. 

The PA will identify a standard process 

for the future identification of historic 

properties and the evaluation, 

avoidance, minimization, mitigation, 

and monitoring of historic properties 

within the New York Bight. The PA may 

address possible programmatic AMMM 

measures in the NY Bight if potential 

adverse effects are identified during the 

consultation for this PA. BOEM plans to 

execute the PA before the PEIS ROD is 

issued. The PA will clarify the section 

106 consultations that will be 

conducted for the individual COPs. The 

section 106 consultations for each COP 

will be conducted in conjunction with 

the NEPA reviews for each COP and 

will ensure consistency with the PA. 

BOEM also seeks comment and input 

from the public and consulting parties 

regarding the identification of other 

potential consulting parties, the 

identification of historic properties 

within the NY Bight, the potential 

effects on those historic properties from 

NY Bight wind energy development 

alternatives including any AMMM, and 

any information that supports 

identification of historic properties 

under NHPA. BOEM also solicits 

proposed measures to avoid, minimize, 

or mitigate any adverse effects on 

historic properties. BOEM will present 

available information regarding known 

historic properties during the public 

scoping period at https://

www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/stateactivities/new-york-bight. 

If any historic properties are 

identified, BOEM’s draft PA and 

potential effects analysis will be 

available for public and consulting party 

comment in the draft PEIS. 

3. Information on other current or 

planned activities in, or in the vicinity 

of, the NY Bight wind energy 

development alternatives including any 

AMMM measures, their possible 

impacts on the alternatives, and the 

alternatives’ possible impacts on those 

activities. 

4. Other information relevant to 

impacts on the human environment 

from potential NY Bight wind energy 

development alternatives, including any 

AMMM 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 dimensions, 

number, and location; type of 

foundation; foundation 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. 

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 should explain why 

the issues raised are important for 

consideration of the Proposed Action, as 

well as economic, employment, and 

other impacts affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

The draft PEIS will include a 

summary of all alternatives, 

information, and analyses submitted 

during the scoping process for 

consideration by BOEM and the 

cooperating agencies.
