Interim Policy

 

Photo of an offshore wind farm.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.
