the Interior finalized the framework for renewable energy production on 
the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). A final rule, published in the 
Federal Register on April 29, 2009 (74 FR 19638), established a program 
to grant leases, rights-of-use and easements (RUEs), and rights-of-way 
(ROWs) for orderly, safe, and environmentally responsible renewable 
energy activities, such as the siting and construction of offshore wind 
farms, on the OCS.
    Applications for renewable energy leases, RUEs and ROWs and 
alternate use RUEs on the OCS are to be filed with the appropriate MMS 
Office as outlined in the following table.
