The Leading Edge

摘要

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the U.S. Department of the Interior have issued a guidance document on regulation of hydrokinetic project development on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).rnThe document builds on the agencies' agreement in April 2009 that clarified the jurisdictional responsibilities of FERC and Interior's Minerals Management Service (MMS) for regulating ocean energy projects on the offshore OCS. Interior also issued guidelines in April 2009 for leasing the OCS for renewable energy production.
