    Department of Energy | January 2022

    U.S. Department of Commerce


    • The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s National Marine
    Fisheries Service (NMFS, also known as NOAA Fisheries) is responsible for the
    stewardship and management of fisheries, protected species, and their habitats under
    the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal
    Protection Act, and other statutes. NMFS is also the lead agency responsible for
    implementing scientific surveys and research in U.S. Federal waters in support of
    mandates related to the stewardship of fisheries, wildlife conservation, habitat
    protection, and ecosystem-based management. The Agency is a key contributor to and
    user of NEPA analyses as both an adopting and coordinating agency with expertise and
    subject matter jurisdiction. It is also the primary Federal agency engaged with fishing
    industry constituents and recreational ocean users and stakeholders.
    • Several other offices within NOAA have roles in offshore development including:
    o NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (NOAA Research)
    o NOAA’s National Weather Service
    o NOAA’s National Ocean Service
    o NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management
    o NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science
    o NOAA’s Integrated Ocean Observing System
    o NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries.

    U.S. Department of Defense


    • The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers is the lead Federal agency for NEPA analyses for
    offshore wind energy projects that occur in state waters and in the Great Lakes, and
    issues permits under the Clean Water Act and Rivers and Harbors Act for projects on the
    Outer Continental Shelf.
    • The Department is responsible for evaluating impacts to military training, testing, and
    operations through the Military Aviation and Installation Assurance Siting
    Clearinghouse.

    U.S. Department of Homeland Security


    • The U.S. Coast Guard is responsible for evaluating impacts of offshore wind energy
    projects on the Marine Transportation System, safety of navigation, the traditional uses
    of the particular waterway, and other missions.
    • The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) evaluates impacts to its maritime border
    protection missions and issues rulings determining whether offshore wind projects are
    in compliance with the Jones Act and Passenger Vessel Services Act.

    Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)


    • FERC regulates the interstate transmission of electricity and establishes regional
    transmission planning, interregional transmission coordination, and cost allocation
    requirements, which may impact offshore wind energy transmission. It also regulates
    generator interconnection for FERC-jurisdictional transmission providers. In addition,
