# 585.100 Authority.
The authority for this part derives from section 8 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCS Lands Act) (43 U.S.C. 1337). The Secretary of the Interior delegated to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) the authority to manage the development of energy on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) from sources other than oil and gas, including renewable energy, through the issuance of leases, easements, and right-of-way for activities that produce or support the production, transportation, or transmission of energy.
