-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On Monday, October 31, 2016, the Bureau of Ocean Energy 
Management (BOEM) published the Atlantic Wind Lease Sale 6 (ATLW-6) for 
Commercial Leasing for Wind Power on the Outer Continental Shelf 
Offshore New York--Final Sale Notice (FSN) in the Federal Register (81 
FR 75429). The FSN announced that BOEM will offer for lease an 
identified area offshore New York, and provided details regarding the 
terms of Lease OCS-A 0512 and the forthcoming auction. This Notice 
corrects a statement in the FSN describing the rental rate for the 
project easement associated with the lease, to ensure consistency with 
the rental rate for the project easement as specified in Addendum ``D'' 
to the lease.

Technical Correction

    The FSN at 81 FR 75433 incorrectly stated: ``Annual rent for a 
project easement is the greater of $5 per acre per year or $450 per 
year.'' In order to be consistent with the description of the rental 
rate for the project easement associated with Lease OCS-A 0512, as 
discussed in Addendum ``D'' to the lease, the above sentence is 
replaced by the following language from Addendum D:

Correction

    In the Federal Register of October 31, 2016, in FR Doc. 16-26240, 
on page 75433, in the third column, correct the last sentence before 
the heading ``Operating Fee'' to read: ``Annual rent for a project 
easement 200 feet wide, centered on the transmission cable, is $70.00 
per statute mile. For any additional acreage required, the lessee must 
also pay the greater of $5.00 per acre per year or $450.00 per year.''
