    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) issued a notice correcting a previous publication about the California Offshore Wind Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. The original document, published in the Federal Register on November 14, 2024, had mistakenly listed the wrong start date for the 90-day comment period. The notice clarifies that the comment period actually began on November 14, 2024. For further details, Lisa Gilbane at BOEM can be contacted.

    Simple Explanation

    BOEM made a mistake and told people the wrong day to start sharing their thoughts about a plan for wind energy in California. Now, they've fixed it and said the right day to start was November 14, 2024.

    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), part of the Interior Department, has announced the release of a draft report called the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Regional Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Lease Sales: Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. This report studies potential impacts of oil and gas leasing in areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. BOEM is requesting public comments on this draft until January 27, 2025, and will hold virtual public meetings for further discussion. The draft considers various alternatives for oil and gas leasing and analyzes the possible effects on the environment and communities, balancing energy needs with environmental protection.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management wants to know what people think about their plan to look for oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico, so they're sharing a draft report and asking everyone to give their thoughts before January 27, 2025. They'll also have online meetings so people can learn more and share their ideas.
