Geospatial information on Wind Energy Planning and Development including the most recent updates to areas of interest for Wind Energy Development off the United States Coast within the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. For the less detailed outlines version of this layer, go to the "Wind Planning Area Outlines" layer. Federal Register (FR) notices indicate various steps in the leasing process. There are six possible classifications. Descriptions of each FR notice are as follows: Request for Interest (RFI) - Areas that BOEM publishes in the Federal Register to solicit nominations of interest for leasing and additional information. This is the first step in the planning and leasing process. Call for Information (Call) - Areas that BOEM publishes in the Federal Register to solicit nominations of interest for leasing and additional information. This is the next step in the planning and leasing process. Although in some cases (New Jersey) BOEM may decide to start the process with this type of notice. Request For Competitive Interest (RFCI) - an area that BOEM publishes in the Federal Register to solicit additional nominations of interest to determine whether or not competitive interest exists. Determination of No Competitive Interest (DNCI) - an area that BOEM publishes in the Federal Register in which they have determined that no competitive interests exists. Proposed Sale Notice (PSN) - a notice published by BOEM in the Federal Register that describes the proposed areas to be offered for leasing and the proposed conditions of the lease sale. This notice would not be published until after the NEPA review has been completed. Final Sale Notice (FSN) - a notice BOEM publishes in the Federal Register that describes the final areas to be offered, and describes the final conditions of a lease sale. Note - Leases are part of a different data layer.

LeaBlocks and aliquots were pulled from BOEM protraction data and added to the last version of this data layer, attributes were added to indicate latest activity, and links to documentation of that activity.se blocks are pulled from BOEM protraction diagram data sets and attributed for new lessee information. In some cases blocks are subdivided down to 1/16ths or 1/64ths to fully deliniate the area of the lease.
