Alternative
Energy Programs
Interim Policy |
 On November 6, 2007, the MMS announced in the
Federal Register an interim policy for authorization of the installation of
offshore data collection and technology testing facilities in Federal waters.
The MMS accepted comments and nominations until January 7, 2008 regarding the
authorization of OCS activities involving the installation of meteorological or
marine data collection facilities to assess alternative energy resources (e.g.,
wind, wave, and ocean current) or to test alternative energy technology. The
interim policy is in effect until the MMS promulgates final rules. |
