Technical Corrections

    In the Federal Register of April 30, 2021, on page 22973 in the 
first column, line 48, under the heading ``Purpose and Need for the 
Proposed Action'', replace the sentence: ``The project will deliver 704 
MW of power to the New England energy grid.''
    The corrected sentence reads: ``The project would have the capacity 
to deliver up to 880 MW of power to the New England energy grid, 
satisfying the current PPA total of 704 MW.''
    In the same edition of the Federal Register, on page 22973, in the 
second column, line 20 under the heading ``Preliminary Proposed Action 
and Alternatives,'' replace the sentence: ``The wind turbine 
generators, offshore substations, array cables, and substation 
interconnector cables would be located on the [Outer Continental Shelf] 
approximately 17.4 nautical miles (20 statute miles) south of the coast 
of Rhode Island.''
    The corrected sentence reads: ``The wind turbine generators, 
offshore substations, array cables, and substation interconnector 
cables would be located on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) 
approximately 15 nautical miles (18 statute miles) southeast of Point 
Judith, Rhode Island, approximately 13 nautical miles (15 statute 
miles) east of Block Island, Rhode Island, approximately 7.5 nautical 
miles (8.5 statute miles) south of Nomans Land Island National Wildlife 
Refuge (uninhabited island), and between approximately 10 to 12.5 
nautical miles (12 to 14 statute miles) south/southwest of varying 
points of the Rhode Island and Massachusetts coastlines.''
