An MOA for the Preferred Alternative will be executed in consultation with the New York and New Jersey State Historic Preservation Offices, and will be completed prior to the anticipated record of decision (ROD) at the culmination of the NEPA process. In accordance with the applicable regulations of the General Conformity Rule (pursuant to the Clean Air Act; 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. as amended) and given the findings that the estimated annual emission rates of two pollutants (i.e., CO and NOX) are predicted to exceed the General Conformity applicability thresholds during the GBR Project’s construction period, this notice also serves as the instrument to fulfill the 30-day public review requirements for the General Conformity Determination by the USCG. Absent new information coming to its attention prior to the conclusion of the 30-day period, the Coast Guard intends to complete its ROD and pursue the preferred alternative at that time. The ROD will identify the environmentallypreferred alternative for the proposed action and be announced in the Federal Register. Dated: August 3, 2010.
