THE ENERGY CHALLENGE Conventional and renewable energy, energy efficiency, new technology American jobs and energy security Domestic oil production > imports “The all-of-the-above energy strategy I announced a few years ago is working, and today, America is closer to energy independence than we’ve been in decades.” - President Barack Obama, State of the Union Address, 1/28/14 2

THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT Assistant Secretary, Land and Minerals oversees Offshore bureaus (BOEM, BSEE) Onshore: Public lands (BLM) Surface mining and reclamation (OSMRE) -National parks, wildlife refuges -Public lands and the Outer Continental Shelf -Tribal government, education -Territories and insular areas -Hydro, water, science 3

OFFSHORE RENEWABLES OCSLA – Interior to manage oil and gas (and sand and gravel) on OCS beyond state waters (usu. 3 miles) EPAct – Interior to manage OCS renewable energy, including wind (previously Corps of Engineers, now BOEM) -Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act -Energy Policy Act of

EXAMPLE: ATLANTIC WIND - NEW USE, OLD NEIGHBORHOOD National defense, all branches Commercial: Shipping, fishing Fish, wildlife, endangered species Tourism, recreation, viewshed Archaeological, cultural, historic -The Atlantic wind resource: Vast potential -Coastal uses and values 5

THE PLANNING FRAMEWORK Involve users and stakeholders Develop and use science and data Federal agency cooperation -President’s National Ocean Policy Executive Order, including marine spatial planning -Multipurpose Marine Cadastre 6

FEATURES OF OCS RENEWABLES “SMART FROM THE START” Intergovernmental task forces: State and Federal agencies, local government, tribes Multiple public comment periods After leasing, developer submits construction plan for thorough NEPA (usu. EIS) -Leasing based on Environmental Assessment and FONSI -Focus on high-resource, low-conflict areas 7

FROM CAPE WIND TO SMART FROM THE START Identify “Wind Energy Areas” (WEAs) Identify issues and possible solutions Conduct lease sales Allow significant changes and conditions resulting from project EIS -Unplanned: Cape Wind (proposed late ‘90s) -Planned: Smart from the Start 8 Mid-Atlantic WEAs:

RESULTS Cape Wind lease issued, 10/2010 Delaware commercial lease issued, 11/2012 Competitive lease sales: RI/MA 7/2013, VA 9/2013 Advanced lease sale planning: Maryland (published proposed sale notice 12/2013), Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina Other states: Task forces active on wind and/or MHK (marine hydrokinetic) in HI, OR Inactive or pending: FL, GA, SC, ME 9
