SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The purpose of this online meeting is for the MPC to consider two draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statements (PEIS) anticipated for release in November. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is developing a draft PEIS to analyze the potential impacts of, and mitigation measures for, floating offshore wind (OSW) energy development in the five leased areas off Humboldt and Morro Bays, CA. In addition, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is developing a draft PEIS to identify areas in Federal waters off Southern California that would be suitable for future aquaculture development, and to analyze potential impacts to the human environment that may occur should aquaculture projects be proposed in Aquaculture Opportunity Areas. The MPC may consider other OSW or aquaculture issues as appropriate.
Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during this meeting. 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.
