AGENCY:
The Department of the Navy
(DoN) reaffirms its August 15, 2012,
Record of Decision to employ up to four
Surveillance Towed Array Sensor
System Low Frequency Active
(SURTASS LFA) sonar systems with
certain geographical restrictions and
mitigation monitoring designed to
reduce potential adverse effects on the
marine environment, including
operating LFA sonar systems in the
waters in which the Hawaiian Islands
Stock Complex of common bottlenose
dolphins could occur. The August 15,
2012, Record of Decision implemented
the preferred alternative, Alternative 2,
identified in the 2012 Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (FSEIS)/Supplemental
Overseas Environmental Impact
Statement (SOEIS) for SURTASS LFA

Following litigation challenging the
adequacy of the 2012 FSEIS/FSOEIS,
the District Court for the Northern
District of California determined that
the DoN failed to use the best available
data when it determined potential
impacts from the employment of
SURTASS LFA sonar systems on one
stock of common bottlenose dolphins in
