Description: BOEM published a Request for Interest (RFI) for the Gulf of Maine <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/08/19/2022-17922/research-lease-on-the-outer-continental-shelf-ocs-in-the-gulf-of-maine-request-for-competitive" target="_blank">in the Federal Register</a> on August 19, 2022. The RFI is the first step in BOEM’s commercial planning and leasing process to identify the offshore locations that appear most suitable for development, taking into consideration potential impacts to resources and ocean users. The purpose of the RFI is to gauge interest in the development of commercial wind energy leases within the RFI Area, which consists of 13,713,825 acres in the Gulf of Maine. The RFI Area follows the RFI Development Framework shared at the <a href="https://www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/state-activities/maine/gulf-maine-task-force-meeting-may-19-2022" target="_blank">May 2022 Task Force meeting</a>, and mirrors the Draft RFI Area, with the exception of the expanded RFCI area, which is described in detail on the <a href="https://www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/maine/state-activities/gulf-maine/state-maine-research-lease-application" target="_blank">Maine Research Application page</a>. <br/><br/> Through the RFI, BOEM seeks feedback from stakeholders, industry, Tribes, and others regarding the location and size of specific areas they wish to be included in (or excluded from) a future offshore wind energy lease sale, along with other planning considerations. This information will be used to narrow the area to be considered for offshore wind development as BOEM moves forward with the Gulf of Maine planning and leasing process. <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/08/19/2022-17922/research-lease-on-the-outer-continental-shelf-ocs-in-the-gulf-of-maine-request-for-competitive" target="_blank">View the Federal Register notice</a> for more information about how to submit nominations and/or provide feedback by October 3, 2022.
