Published 30-Day Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 21, 2024 / Notices

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

Coast Guard will prepare a draft PEIS
for the Proposed Action to accept one or
more viability testing methods for use in
type approval of BWMSs. Once the draft
PEIS is completed, it will be made
available for a 45-day public review and
comment period.
The Coast Guard will announce the
availability of the draft PEIS in the
Federal Register and other media
outlets. The Coast Guard expects the
draft PEIS will be available for public
review and comment in 2024. In
meeting the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) regulations generally
requiring EISs to be completed within 2
years, the Coast Guard anticipates the
final PEIS would be available in 2026.
The final PEIS will respond to all
comments received on the draft PEIS
within the draft PEIS comment period.
And we will publish a notice of
availability in the Federal Register
when we issue the PEIS. Should new
information become available after the
completion of the draft or final PEIS,
supplemental NEPA documentation
may be prepared in support of new
information or changes in the Proposed
Action considered under the PEIS.
Public Scoping Process
This NOI initiates the scoping
process, which guides development of
the PEIS. The Coast Guard is seeking
comments on the reasonably foreseeable
environmental impacts that may result
from the Proposed Action, accepting
one or more viability test methods that
would ultimately be used for type
approval of BWMS. The Coast Guard is
also seeking input on relevant
information, studies, or analyses of any
kind concerning impacts potentially
affecting the quality of human health or
the environment because of the
Proposed Action and alternatives.
NEPA requires Federal agencies to
consider environmental impacts that
may result from a Proposed Action, to
inform the public of potential impacts
and alternatives, and to facilitate public
involvement in the assessment process.
The PEIS will include, among other
topics, discussions of the purpose and
need for the Proposed Action, a
description of alternatives, a description
of the affected environment, and an
evaluation of the environmental impact
of the Proposed Action and alternatives.
The Coast Guard intends to follow the
CEQ regulations (40 CFR 1500 et. seq.),
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) Directive Number 023–01, Rev.
01, and Instruction 023–001–01, Rev.
01; and Coast Guard Commandant

comments. Scoping, which is integral to
the process for implementing NEPA,
provides a process to ensure that (1)
issues are identified early and properly
studied; (2) issues of little significance
do not consume substantial time and
effort; (3) the draft PEIS is thorough and
balanced; and (4) delays caused by an
inadequate PEIS are avoided.
Scope consists of the range and
breadth of actions, alternatives, and
effects to considered in an
environmental impact statement or
environmental assessment. The scoping
process begins with publication of this
NOI. The Coast Guard seeks to do the
following during the scoping process:
• Invite the participation of Federal,
State, and local agencies, any affected
Federally Recognized Tribes, and other
interested persons;
• Consult with affected Federally
Recognized Tribes on a Government-toGovernment basis in accordance with
Executive Order 13175 and other
policies. Concerns of Federally
Recognized Tribes, including potential
impacts on Treaty rights, Indian trust
assets, and cultural resources, will be
given appropriate consideration;
• Determine the scope and the issues
to be analyzed in depth in the PEIS;
• Identify any related environmental
assessments or environmental impact
statements that are not part of the PEIS;
and,
• Identify other relevant
environmental review and consultation
requirements, such as CZMA
consistency evaluations, and threatened
and endangered species and habitat
impacts.
In accordance with the U.S. Coast
Guard Environmental Planning
Procedures,8 the Coast Guard will reach
out to relevant agencies with
jurisdiction by law or special expertise
with respect to environmental issues in
the project area.
Pursuant to the CEQ regulations,
Coast Guard invites public participation
in the NEPA process. This NOI requests
public participation in the scoping
process, establishes a public comment
period, and provides information on
how to participate.
The public will be provided with an
opportunity to review and comment on
the draft PEIS. Comments received
during the draft PEIS review period will
be available in the public docket (where
indicated under the Public Participation
and Request for Comments portion of
this notice) and made available in the
final PEIS.

provide the general public, and other

especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency 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 submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal

cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
