SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
In the Nonindigenous Aquatic
Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of
1990, as reauthorized, and as amended
by the National Invasive Species Act of
1996, Public Law 101–646 and Public
Law 104–332, respectively, Congress
directed the Coast Guard to prevent, to
the maximum extent practicable,
introduction of aquatic nonindigenous
species from ballast water discharged by
ships (16 U.S.C. 4711). To achieve this
objective, the Coast Guard wrote new
regulations in 33 CFR 151, subparts C
and D. (58 FR 18330, Apr. 8, 1993, and
69 FR 44952, Jul. 28, 2004,
respectively).
On December 8, 2004, the Coast
Guard published a notice in the Federal
Register (69 FR 71068, Dec. 8, 2004),
announcing its Shipboard Technology
Evaluation Program (STEP) for
experimental shipboard ballast water
treatment systems. The program goal is
to promote development of alternatives
to ballast water exchange as a means of
preventing invasive species from
entering U.S. waters through ships’
ballast water. The comments we
received support testing prototype
treatment equipment and developing
effective and practicable standards for
approving this equipment.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(Section 102(2)(c)), as implemented by
the Council of Environmental Quality
regulations in 40 CFR parts 1500–1508,
and Coast Guard Commandant
Instruction M16475.1D, ‘‘National
Environmental Policy Act Implementing
Procedures and Policy for Considering
Environmental Impacts,’’ the Coast
Guard prepared a Programmatic
Environmental Assessment (PEA) for
the STEP to evaluate the environmental
impacts from installing and operating a
limited number of prototype ballast
water treatment systems (69 FR 71068,
Dec. 8, 2004). The PEA can be found in
docket USCG–2001–9267. The PEA
addresses potential effects to the natural
and human environments including
fish, marine mammals, invertebrates,
microorganisms and plankton,
submerged and emergent aquatic
vegetation, threatened and endangered
species, and essential fish habitat. It also
requires each system to be evaluated for
localized effects on the ports and
waterways where a vessel involved in
the program operates.

The Coast Guard announced the
availability and request for public
comments of the Draft Environmental
Assessment (DEA) for the tank ship
S/R AMERICAN PROGRESS by Federal
Register notice on December 1, 2008 (73
FR 72825, Dec. 1, 2008). The comment
period was open until December 31,
2008. The California State Lands
Commission (CSLC) had commented on
previous Draft Environmental
Assessments regarding three other
vessels with STEP applications,
specifically, STEP applications
regarding the cruise ship CORAL
PRINCESS (73 FR 72817, Dec. 1, 2008),
the integrated tug and barge MOKU
PAHU (73 FR 72819, Dec. 1, 2008), and
the vessel ATLANTIC COMPASS (73 FR
72814, Dec. 1, 2008). Due to the high
level of interest previously shown by
CSLC, and that just prior to the end of
the comment period on the DEA for
S/R AMERICAN PROGRESS there were
no public comments, the Coast Guard
contacted CSLC prior to the closing of
the comment period to ensure CSLC was
aware of the posting. Soon after the
comment period had expired, CSLC
replied directly to Coast Guard via email with comments. The CLSC
submitted 23 substantive comments,
and 19 editorial comments. All
comments from CSLC were posted by
the Coast Guard to the docket. The Coast
Guard received no other comments from
any source.
The 19 editorial comments from CLSC
were adopted and incorporated in the
Final Environmental Assessment (FEA)
to improve readability. The adopted
edits made no substantive changes to
the FEA. The remaining comments with
the Coast Guard’s response are provided
as appendix G in the FEA.
This notice is issued under authority
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (Section 102 (2)(c)), as
implemented by the Council of
Environmental Quality regulations (40
CFR parts 1500–1508) and Coast Guard
Commandant Instruction M16475.1D.
Dated: July 28, 2009.
J.G. Lantz,
Director of Commercial Regulations and
Standards, U.S. Coast Guard.
