BOEM will issue leases on a competitive basis, as provided under §§ 585.210 through 585.226. However, if we determine after public notice of a proposed lease that there is no competitive interest, we will issue leases noncompetitively, as provided under §§ 585.230 through 585.232 . We will issue leases on forms approved by BOEM and will include terms, conditions, and stipulations identified and developed as appropriate.
