DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; The Department of
Homeland Security, Office of
Emergency Communications,
SAFECOM Nationwide Survey (SNS)
National Protection and
Programs Directorate, DHS.
ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for
comments; New Collection: 1670–NEW.
AGENCY:

The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), National Protection and
Programs Directorate (NPPD), Office of
Cybersecurity and Communications
(CS&C), Office of Emergency
Communications, will submit the
following Information Collection
Request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. DHS previously published this
ICR in the Federal Register for 60 days.
The notice published as 60-Day Request
for Comment on Thursday, April 27,
2017. DHS received comments from two
stakeholders indicating an appreciation
for public outreach. As a next step in
the administrative process, a second
notice will be published in the Federal
Register. Its purpose is to allow an
additional 30 days for the public to
provide comments about the notice.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until September 5,
2017. DHS and OMB conducts this
process in accordance with Controlling
Paperwork Burdens on the Public rules
and regulations. 5 CFR 1320.1 (1995).
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed ICR to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). Comments should be addressed
to OMB Desk Officer, Department of
Homeland Security and sent via
electronic mail to oira_submission@
omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395–5806.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Enactment
of 6 U.S.C. 571 governs the Office of
Emergency Communications (OEC) and
establishes a Director with specific
responsibilities. This includes assisting
the DHS Secretary in developing and
implementing a program to support and
promote the ability of emergency
response providers and relevant
government officials to continue to
communicate in the event of natural
disasters, acts of terrorism, and other
man-made disasters; and ensure,
accelerate, and attain interoperable
emergency communications nationwide.

In addition, 6 U.S.C. 573 authorizes the
DHS Secretary acting through the OEC
Director to conduct a baseline
assessment of communications
capabilities among emergency response
providers and relevant government
officials at all levels of government no
less than once every five years. OEC is
tasked with conducting a periodic
nationwide assessment of emergency
communications.
OEC’s governing statute provides a
framework for its periodic assessment.
Accordingly, OEC, in coordination with
its stakeholder partners, developed the
SAFECOM Nationwide Survey (SNS).
The survey’s purpose is to gather
information to assess capabilities
currently available, and identify gaps
based on the needs of emergency
response providers. This information
will allow OEC and its stakeholders to
understand critical capabilities more
clearly, and to target resources more
efficiently for communications during
response situations of all scales and
scope, from day-to-day to out-of-theordinary situations.
To gather baseline assessment
information, OEC will deploy four
versions of the SAFECOM Nationwide
Survey (SNS) tailored to address
emergency response entities at each
level of government: Federal, State and
territorial, tribal, and local. Each SNS
version is built upon a foundation of
core planning elements identified by
OEC and its stakeholders as
fundamental to achieve open and secure
communications operability,
interoperability, and continuity. These
elements are interdependent critical
success factors that must be addressed
to plan for and implement public safety
communications capabilities. These
elements are recognized as Governance,
Standard Operating Procedures,
Training and Exercises, Technology,
Usage, Security and Equipment.
The SNS questions align with each of
these elements. This design enables
DHS to determine jurisdictional
capability levels of operability,
interoperability, and continuity as they
collectively pertain to the use of
emergency communications. For
example, Governance questions will
pertain to matters related to decisionmaking groups, agreements, funding,
and strategic planning. Standard
Operating Procedure questions will
focus on procedures, guidelines, and
content. Training and Exercise
questions will focus on their nature,
scope, and frequency. Technology
questions will focus on infrastructure,
solutions, and information-sharing.
Usage questions will address frequency
of use, proficiency, and resource

capacity. Security will focus on
cybersecurity in the context of
emergency communications. Finally,
Equipment questions focuses on the
types of equipment or systems used.
These SNS elements and sub-elements
set forth the DHS OEC assessment
framework. Collectively, will enable
DHS OEC to fulfill its governing
authority and identify a baseline of
nationwide emergency communications
capabilities.
This is a new information collection.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

AGENCY:

The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM) is announcing the
availability of a Final Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for evaluating potential environmental
effects of geological and geophysical
(G&G) activities in OCS waters of the
GOM. The Final Programmatic EIS
analyzes potential impacts of the
proposed action, provides an analysis of
reasonable alternatives to the proposed
action, and identifies BOEM’s preferred
alternative. The Final Programmatic EIS
considers G&G activities for BOEM’s
three programs, i.e., Oil and Gas,
Renewable Energy, and Marine
Minerals. These activities include, but
are not limited to, seismic surveys
(deep-penetration and high-resolution
geophysical), sidescan-sonar surveys,
electromagnetic surveys, and geological
and geochemical sampling. The Final
Programmatic EIS also evaluates
mitigation measures to reduce potential
impacts of G&G activities on marine
resources, such as sound impacts to
marine species and bottom-disturbance
impacts on benthic communities and
cultural resources.
The Final Programmatic EIS is
available on BOEM’s Web sites at http://
www.boem.gov/GOM-G-G-PEIS and
http://www.boem.gov/nepaprocess/.
BOEM will primarily distribute digital
copies of the Final Programmatic EIS on
compact discs. You may request a paper
copy or the location of a library with a
paper copy of the Final Programmatic
EIS from Mr. Greg Kozlowski by
telephone at (504) 736–2512 or by email

Final Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement for the Cape Wind

ACTION: Notice of availability of a final
supplemental environmental impact
statement.
AGENCY:

The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management (BOEM) is announcing the
availability of a Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (Final
SEIS) for the Cape Wind Energy Project.
This supplement to the 2009 Final EIS
has been prepared in response to a 2016
remand order of the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit in Public Employees for
Environmental Responsibility v. Hopper
(see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for
details).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 5,
2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit vacated the
2009 Cape Wind Energy Project Final
EIS and ordered that BOEM:
‘‘supplement [the EIS] with adequate
geological surveys before Cape Wind
may begin construction.’’ Public
Employees for Environmental
Responsibility v. Hopper, 827 F.3d 1077,
1084 (D.C. Cir. 2016). The Court opined
that: ‘‘[w]ithout adequate geological
surveys, the [BOEM] cannot ‘ensure that
the seafloor [will be] able to support’
wind turbines.’’ Id. at 1083. While the
Court found that: ‘‘[BOEM] therefore
had violated NEPA (National
Environmental Policy Act)’’ the Court
noted that ‘‘. . . [it] does not necessarily
mean that the project must be halted or
that Cape Wind must redo the
regulatory approval process.’’ Id. at
