On January 10, 1997, the State of Texas received federal approval of the Coastal Management Program (CMP) (62 Federal Register pp. 1439 - 1440). Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 26. Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete for the following project(s) during the period of February 20, 2023 to March 3, 2023. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§30.25, 30.32, and 30.41, the public comment period extends 30 days from the date published on the Texas General Land Office web site. The notice was published on the web site on Friday, March 10, 2023. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 9, 2023.
FEDERAL AGENCY ACTIVITIES:
Applicant: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)
Location: The Texas Coast Region Galveston Wind Energy Area (WEA) Lease Areas consist of Galveston I: OCS-G 37335 Galveston II: OCS-G 37336.
Project Description: The applicant proposes to issue commercial wind energy leases within the Galveston WEA following which site characterization and site assessment activities are expected to take place that would determine whether the lease is suitable for commercial-scale wind energy production. Proposed lease area Galveston I consists of 102,480 acres and Galveston II consists of 96,786 acres. The lease would not authorize the lessee to construct or operate any wind energy project on the Outer Continental Shelf.

BOEM is seeking comments and recommendations on proposed lease stipulations and how many Lease Areas from the Texas Coast Region should be offered in the Final Sale Notice.
Type of Application: BOEM proposed commercial wind energy lease sale.
