{"abstract":"This document is the Proposed Sale Notice (PSN) for the sale of commercial wind energy leases on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore Maryland, pursuant to BOEM's regulations at 30 CFR 585.216. BOEM proposes to offer for sale two leases, Lease OCS-A 0489 and Lease OCS-A 0490. BOEM will use a multiple-factor auction for the lease sale. In this PSN, you will find information pertaining to the areas available for leasing, proposed lease provisions and conditions, auction details, the lease form, criteria for evaluating competing bids, award procedures, appeal procedures, and lease execution. BOEM invites comments during a 60-day comment period following publication of this notice. The issuance of the proposed leases resulting from this sale would not constitute an approval of project-specific plans to develop offshore wind energy. Such plans, expected to be submitted by successful lessees, will be subject to subsequent environmental and public review prior to a decision to proceed with development.","action":"Proposed Sale Notice for Commercial Leasing for Wind Power on the Outer Continental Shelf Offshore Maryland.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Ocean Energy Management","name":"Ocean Energy Management Bureau","id":575,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/ocean-energy-management-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/575","parent_id":253,"slug":"ocean-energy-management-bureau"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2013/12/18/2013-29977.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"78 FR 76643","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2014-02-18","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments should be submitted electronically or postmarked no later than February 18, 2014.
