On June 21, 2024, BOEM published a notice of availability (NOA) of a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) in the Federal Register. The draft EA assesses the potential impacts associated with possible wind energy-related leasing, site assessment, and site characterization activities on the U.S. Gulf of Maine. The draft EA will help inform BOEM’s decision whether to issue wind energy leases in the Gulf of Maine Wind Energy Areas. The NOA initiates a 30-day public comment period that ends at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on July 22, 2024. During the public comment period, BOEM hosted two virtual meetings to allow the public to learn more about the draft EA, ask questions, and provide oral testimony.
