    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has modified a Letter of Authorization (LOA) for Empire Wind, LLC, related to the construction of the Empire Wind Offshore Wind Energy Project in waters off New York. The modifications include changes to the name of the LOA holder and updates to measures for avoiding vessel strikes, monitoring sound levels, and using passive acoustic monitoring. These updates are intended to enhance clarity and better align with the Biological Opinion, with NMFS confirming that these changes do not alter the previously estimated number of marine mammal takings. The modified authorization remains in effect through February 21, 2029.
