| 2012-2497 | Commercial Leasing for Wind Power on the Outer Continental Shelf Offshore Maryland-Call for Information and Nominations | Notice | In November 2010, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, now BOEM, issued a Request for Interest (RFI) to gauge specific interest in obtaining commercial wind leases in an area on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore Maryland. Based on the expressions of interest received in response to the RFI, BOEM has determined that competitive interest exists in the area identified. The publication of this Call for Information and Nominations (Call) initiates the competitive leasing process on the OCS offshore Maryland for the area identified herein. The publication of this notice does not mean that BOEM will ultimately grant a lease to any particular party in the area identified offshore Maryland. Rather, the publication of this notice indicates that the area described may be subject to future leasing. BOEM is using this notice both to solicit any additional lease nominations and to request comments from interested and affected parties regarding site conditions, resources, and multiple uses of the area identified that would be relevant to BOEM's potential leasing and development authorization process. Parties wishing to submit a nomination in response to this Call should submit detailed and specific information as described in the section entitled, "Required Nomination Information." The information that BOEM is requesting from the public is described in the section entitled, "Requested Information from Interested or Affected Parties." This notice is published pursuant to subsection 8(p)(3) of the OCS Lands Act, 43 U.S.C. 1337(p)(3), which was added by section 388 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), as well as the implementing regulations at 30 CFR part 585. The Call area described in this notice is located on the OCS offshore Maryland. The western edge of the Call is approximately 10 nautical miles (nmi) from the Ocean City, Maryland coast, and the eastern edge is approximately 23 nmi from the Ocean City, Maryland coast. The longest portion of the north/south portion is approximately 13 nmi in length and the longest portion of the east/west portion is approximately 13 nmi in length. This Call area was established in consultation with the BOEM Maryland Renewable Energy Task Force, and comments received in response to the RFI were considered when delineating the area. A detailed description of the area and its development is found later in this notice. | 2012-02-03 | 2012 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/02/03/2012-2497/commercial-leasing-for-wind-power-on-the-outer-continental-shelf-offshore-maryland-call-for | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-02-03/pdf/2012-2497.pdf | Interior Department; Ocean Energy Management Bureau | 253,575 | In November 2010, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, now BOEM, issued a Request for Interest (RFI) to gauge specific interest in obtaining commercial wind leases in an area on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore... |
