{ "currentVersion": 10.61, "serviceDescription": "BOEM will convene the Central Atlantic Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force (Task Force) on February 16, 2022, to gain input on the draft Call for Information and Nominations (Call) for the Central Atlantic and update members on recent planning activities. \n
<\/br>\nBackground: In response to coastal state requests for additional lease areas and the Biden Administration\u2019s goal to deploy 30 GW of offshore wind by 2030, BOEM began its lease planning process and is convening a Central Atlantic Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force. The Task Force will serve as a forum to discuss and share information related to the planning and leasing process and encompasses the area offshore Delaware south to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.\n
<\/br> \nBOEM delineated draft Planning Areas after considering known conflicts in the area and requested feedback from Federal, State and Tribal Governments as well as many stakeholders through engagement meetings. The stakeholder meetings included representatives of the maritime industry, fisheries, environmental non-governmental organizations, and the wind energy industry. Meeting presentations and summaries can be found on BOEM\u2019s website here: https://www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/state-activities/central-atlantic-activities.<\/a> \n
<\/br>\nBased on feedback received from these meetings, which will be discussed at the Task Force Meeting, BOEM is now releasing a DRAFT Call for Information and Nomination Area. The DRAFT Call Area is a 31% reduction in size from the initial Planning Area. \n
<\/br>\nDuring the Task Force Meeting, BOEM will solicit feedback from Task Force Members on the DRAFT Call Area. Members of the public will be able to provide input at the end of the meeting. The next step in the BOEM leasing process (Figure 3) will be to compile feedback received at the Task Force Meeting to further analyze the DRAFT Call Area and develop the Call for Information and Nominations Area. This document will be published in the Federal Register with a 45-day comment period in Q2 2022.\n", "mapName": "Layers", "description": "", "copyrightText": "Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM); web service published by the MARCO Ocean Data Portal", "supportsDynamicLayers": true, "layers": [ { "id": 0, "name": "BOEM_CentralAtlanticDraftCallArea_Jan2022", "parentLayerId": -1, "defaultVisibility": true, "subLayerIds": null, "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0 } ], "tables": [], "spatialReference": { "wkid": 102100, "latestWkid": 3857 }, "singleFusedMapCache": false, "initialExtent": { "xmin": -8548060.318893641, "ymin": 4534749.700989802, "xmax": -7895162.599674292, "ymax": 4711451.377292288, "spatialReference": { "wkid": 102100, "latestWkid": 3857 } }, "fullExtent": { "xmin": -8390813.0874, "ymin": 4268063.580899999, "xmax": -8123290.1646, "ymax": 4684633.018100001, "spatialReference": { "wkid": 102100, "latestWkid": 3857 } }, "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "units": "esriMeters", "supportedImageFormatTypes": "PNG32,PNG24,PNG,JPG,DIB,TIFF,EMF,PS,PDF,GIF,SVG,SVGZ,BMP", "documentInfo": { "Title": "BOEM Central Atlantic Draft Call Area", "Author": "Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM); web service published by the MARCO Ocean Data Portal", "Comments": "The federal Bureau of Offshore Energy Management (BOEM) is seeking public input on a newly released Central Atlantic Draft Call for Information and Nomination Area. \n\nIn response to coastal state requests for additional lease areas and the Biden Administration\u2019s goal to deploy 30 GW of offshore wind by 2030, BOEM began its lease planning process and is convening a Central Atlantic Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force.
