The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announces the availability of the record of decision (ROD) based on the final programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS) that analyzed the potential impacts of wind energy development in six lease areas of the New York (NY) Bight. The ROD outlines BOEM's decision to identify certain avoidance, minimization, mitigation, and monitoring (AMMM) measures that BOEM plans to apply as conditions of approval for activities proposed by NY Bight lessees in their construction and operations plans (COPs). This ROD concludes the programmatic National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process for the six NY Bight lease areas.
