several factors, including variations in 

ecological definitions of old forests in 

response to the diversity of forest types 

across the nation, climate change 

impacts, and the dynamic nature of 

forest conditions, are challenging to 

integrate. Considering the important 

values provided by old forest 

conditions, leveraging the Forest Service 

Forest Inventory and Analysis Program 

with existing and evolved definitions of 

old-growth will provide an improved 

picture for land managers to guide 

sound, science-informed, decisionmaking. 

Input Requested. The USDA Forest 

Service and the Bureau of Land 

Management, DOI, are seeking input on 

the development of a definition for oldgrowth and mature forests on Federal 

land, and are specifically requesting 

input on the following questions: 

• What criteria are needed for a 

universal definition framework that 

motivates mature and old-growth forest 

conservation and can be used for 

planning and adaptive management? 

• What are the overarching oldgrowth and mature forest characteristics 

that belong in a definition framework? 

• How can a definition reflect 

changes based on disturbance and 

variation in forest type/composition, 

climate, site productivity and 

geographic region? 

• How can a definition be durable but 

also accommodate and reflect changes 

in climate and forest composition? 

• What, if any, forest characteristics 

should a definition exclude?

effort, including a link to the recorded 

webinar, can be found at: https://

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 

[Docket No. BOEM 2022–0034] 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement for Future Wind Energy 

Development in the New York Bight 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management (BOEM), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent (NOI) to prepare 

a programmatic environmental impact 

statement (PEIS); request for comments. 

SUMMARY: Consistent with the 

regulations implementing the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 

BOEM announces its intent to prepare a 

PEIS to analyze the potential impacts of 

wind energy development activities in 

the New York Bight (NY Bight), as well 

as the change in those impacts that 

could result from adopting 

programmatic avoidance, minimization, 

mitigation, and monitoring (AMMM) 

measures for the NY Bight. This NOI 

announces the scoping process BOEM 

will use to identify significant issues 

and potential alternatives for 

consideration in the NY Bight PEIS. 

Detailed information can be found on 

BOEM’s website at: https://

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

DATES: Comments received by August 

15, 2022, will be considered. 

BOEM will hold virtual public 

scoping meetings for the NY Bight PEIS 

at the following dates and times (eastern 

time): 

• Thursday, July 28, 5:00 p.m. 

• Tuesday, August 2, 5:00 p.m. 

• Thursday, August 4, 1:00 p.m. 

Registration for the public meetings 

may be completed here: https://

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

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
