2. Cooperating Agencies
BOEM invites Federal, State, and
local government agencies, as well as
Tribal governments, to consider
becoming cooperating agencies in the
preparation of this EA. Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ)
regulations implementing the
procedural provisions of NEPA defines
cooperating agencies as those with
‘‘jurisdiction by law or special expertise
with respect to any environmental
impact involved in a proposal (or a
reasonable alternative)’’ (40 CFR
1508.1(e)). Potential cooperating
agencies should consider their authority
and capacity to assume the
responsibilities of a cooperating agency
and remember that an agency’s role in
the environmental analysis neither
enlarges nor diminishes the final
decision-making authority of any other
agency involved in the NEPA process.
Upon request, BOEM will provide
potential cooperating agencies with a
draft memorandum of agreement that
includes a schedule with critical action
dates and milestones, mutual
responsibilities, designated points of
contact, and expectations for handling
pre-decisional information. Agencies
should also consider the ‘‘Factors for
Determining Whether to Invite, Decline
or End Cooperating Agency Status’’ in
attachment 1 to CEQ’s January 30, 2002,
memorandum for Federal agencies
titled, ‘‘Cooperating Agencies in
Implementing the Procedural
Requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act.’’ A copy of
this document is available at: https://
www.energy.gov/nepa/articles/
cooperating-agencies-implementingprocedural-requirements-nationalenvironmental.
BOEM, as the lead agency, will not
provide financial assistance to
cooperating agencies. Even if an
organization is not a cooperating
agency, opportunities will exist to
provide information and comments to
BOEM during the normal public input
phases of the NEPA and EA process.
3. Comments
Federal, State, local government
agencies, Tribal governments, and other
interested parties are requested to send
their written comments on the
important issues to be considered in the
EA by either of the following methods:

Freedom of Information Act
BOEM will protect privileged or
confidential information that you
submit when required by the Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA). Exemption 4
of FOIA applies to trade secrets and
commercial or financial information
that is privileged or confidential. If you
wish to protect the confidentiality of
such information, clearly label it and
request that BOEM treat it as
confidential. BOEM will not disclose
such information if BOEM determines
under 30 CFR 585.114(b) that it qualifies
for exemption from disclosure under
FOIA. Please label privileged or
confidential information ‘‘Contains
Confidential Information’’ and consider
submitting such information as a
separate attachment.
BOEM will not treat as confidential
any aggregate summaries of such
information or comments not containing
such privileged or confidential
information. Information that is not
labeled as privileged or confidential
may be regarded by BOEM as suitable
for public release.
b. Personally Identifiable Information
BOEM encourages you not to submit
anonymous comments. Please include
your name and address as part of your
comment. You should be aware that
your entire comment, including your
name, address, and any personally
identifiable information (PII) included
in your comment, may be made publicly
available. All submissions from
identified individuals, businesses, and
organizations will be available for
public viewing on regulations.gov. Note
that BOEM will make available for
public inspection all comments, in their
entirety, submitted by organizations and
businesses, or by individuals identifying
themselves as representatives of
organizations or businesses.
For BOEM to consider withholding
your PII from disclosure, you must
identify any information contained in
your comments that, if released, would
constitute a clearly unwarranted

invasion of your personal privacy. You
must also briefly describe any possible
harmful consequences of the disclosure
of information, such as embarrassment,
injury, or other harm. Even if BOEM
withholds your information in the
context of this rulemaking, your
submission is subject to FOIA and, if
your submission is requested under the
FOIA, your information will only be
withheld if a determination is made that
one of the FOIA’s exemptions to
disclosure applies. Such a
determination will be made in
accordance with the Department’s FOIA
regulations and applicable law.
c. Section 304 of the NHPA (54 U.S.C.
307103(a))
After consultation with the Secretary,
BOEM is required to withhold the
location, character, or ownership of
historic resources if it determines that
disclosure may, among other things, risk
harm to the historic resources or impede
the use of a traditional religious site by
practitioners. Tribal entities should
designate information that falls under
section 304 of NHPA as confidential.
