SUMMARY: The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) will use Form

a model lease form through a public process that will invite all 
interested and affected parties for their input.'' (74 FR 19638, April

    The BOEM developed a draft of the form included in this Notice, and 
published it in the Federal Register (76 FR 55090, September 6, 2011) 
with a 30-day comment period (Draft Form). BOEM has reviewed all the 
comments received and revised the Draft Form where appropriate. For

response to those comments, visit BOEM's Web site, at http://www.boem.gov/Renewable-Energy-Program/Regulatory-Information/Index.aspx.
