The primary purpose of this online meeting is for the MPC to consider and provide feedback on suitability modeling being conducted by the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). Suitability modeling will be used by BOEM in the process of identifying offshore Wind Energy Areas (WEA) for two Call Areas off the Oregon Coast. Draft WEAs are expected to be identified in late 2022 or early 2023. This meeting will provide an opportunity for MPC members to receive updated information on the data and weighting factors used in the model, and for the MPC to provide feedback to BOEM and NCCOS.

Action will be restricted to those issues specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after publication of this document that require emergency action under section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to take final action to address the emergency.
