Federal Opportunities to Participate in Offshore Wind
https://arcg.is/1an1yu0

This guide is a reference for community members interested in the federal offshore wind energy leasing and permitting process. A common barrier to participation is not understanding when and how to engage, the status of projects in the offshore wind energy pipeline, and confusion over commonly used acronyms. 

This guide is a resource to demystify the development process, help communities learn the language, provide past development examples, and reduce barriers to submitting public comment on federal agency actions. 

This information is standard for all federal offshore wind energy actions, so communities outside of New York State can also reference this guide.

For a brief overview of the process, check out the accompanying, print-friendly one-pager.
