Abstract: This information collection request is related to the information collection requirements set forth in 30 CFR 585, Renewable Energy on the Outer Continental Shelf and 30 CFR 586, Alternate Uses of Existing Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf. On January 21, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order (EO) 14173, entitled “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.” This EO revokes Executive Order 11246, entitled “Equal Employment Opportunity.” This information collection request is for nonsubstantive updates to forms BOEM-0002, Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Assignment of Grant and BOEM-0003, Assignment of Record Title Interest In Federal OCS Renewable Energy Lease. BOEM is removing the language related to equal opportunity and affirmative action compliance from the forms.

Short Statement: This rule of agency organization reassigns responsibilities for the administration of certain regulations governing renewable energy development on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), and those governing alternate uses of existing facilities on the OCS, consistent with the Secretary of the Department of the Interior’s Orders and the Departmental Manual. This final rule reassigns regulations pertaining to safety, environmental oversight, and enforcement from BOEM’s oversight to BSEE’s oversight and transfers the applicable Departmental regulations from 30 CFR part 585 to 30 CFR part 285. This rule does not make substantive changes to current regulatory requirements and does not impose additional regulatory burdens on the public or the regulated community.
