Response to Comments
On August 15, 2008, the Coast Guard
initiated a 30-day public comment
period with publication of a Notice of
Availability of the Proposed
Modernization of the Coast Guard Draft
PEA in the Federal Register (73 FR
47959). The Coast Guard received 23
public comments during this period.
Summary of Comments and the USCG
Responses
Many of the 23 separate comments
either acknowledged receipt or noted
approval of the Coast Guard’s
modernization proposal. The remaining
comments fell into the following four
groups.
Several comments focused on the
managerial philosophy and motivation
of the Coast Guard in proposing this
modernization. While these comments
are useful to decision makers, they are
not relevant to the environmental
impact analyses associated with the
proposed modernization and, therefore,
will not be addressed in the Final PEA.
A second group of comments focused
on decisions that are yet to be made,
such as exact locations of possible new
facilities or precise organizations that
might or might not be moved. While
these comments are also useful to
decision makers, they are not yet ripe
for further analysis and will not be
considered further in the Final PEA. As
stated in the Draft PEA, NEPA analysis
and documentation may be prepared for
future individual actions and their sitespecific impacts if such actions are not
adequately covered by this
programmatic NEPA document.
The third group of comments
advocated moving large segments of the
Coast Guard to various new locations
around the nation. These alternatives do
not meet the purpose and need
described in the PEA to minimize
disruption to the workforce, minimize
costs of modernization (such as, by
utilizing existing facilities), and
minimize disruption to mission
execution. These proposals are,
therefore, not evaluated in detail in the
Final PEA.
Finally, a fourth group of comments
was not addressed because it raised
matters, such as the Deepwater
Replacement contract, that are outside
the scope of the Coast Guard
modernization decision.
Background and Purpose
The Coast Guard intends to
modernize its command structure,
support systems, and business practices
to position itself for sustainable and
effective mission execution into the
