3. USACE Decision Making
Developing the alternatives
formulation, engineering design and
environmental consequences
assessment into a single GRR/EIS allows
the New York District to
comprehensively evaluate the project as
a system. However, the USACE
acknowledges that the shorefront and
back-bay segments may not
concurrently be ready for a
recommendation. The shorefront
portion of the project has undergone
extensive alternatives analysis, while
the back-bay re-evaluation process is in
its earlier stages. Additionally, the
shorefront measures being evaluated
have been the subject of considerable
public and agency coordination while
these essential coordination efforts have
not been completed for the back-bay
alternatives.
As a result, the Corps will develop the
HSGRR/EIS evaluating the entire area,
but will tier the decisions (i.e., issue
separate records of decision) on the
respective areas. This decision making
approach will allow time to address
agency policy issues and build
consensus among cooperating agencies
and the public. This option to issue
multiple records of decision based on a
single EIS is available to the USACE
because of the flexibility in the NEPA
process as described in the President’s
Council on Environmental Quality’s
(CEQ) NEPA-Implementing Regulations.
4. Public Participation
The USACE invites public comment
on the scope of the issues and
alternatives to be addressed in the draft
EIS. Input will be received through
public meetings with both oral and
written comments being provided;
written comments may be submitted at
any time during the process. The New
York District will host a series of three
public scoping meetings to receive
comments on the proposed scope of
issues to be evaluated in the draft
environmental impact statement. Each
of the public meetings will begin with
an informal open house from 5:00 p.m.
to 6:00 p.m. followed by the formal
meeting from 7:00–9:00 p.m.
Two public meetings have been
scheduled with a third TBD. The first
will be held at the Knights of Columbus
(333 Beach 90th Street, Rockaway
Beach, NY 11693) on April 22, 2015
between 6:30–9:30 p.m. The second is
scheduled at the Ryan Visitor Center (50
Aviator Road Brooklyn, NY 11234) for

5. Lead and Cooperating Agencies
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is
the lead federal agency for the
preparation of the environmental impact
statement (EIS) and meeting the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act and the NEPA
Implementing Regulations of the
President’s Council on Environmental
Quality (40 CFR parts 1500–1508).
Within the study area, the National Park
Service (NPS) manages the over 19,000acre Jamaica Bay Unit of the Gateway
National Recreation Area. Many of the
actions evaluated within the EIS could
occur within the National Recreation
Area. Federal agencies interested in
participating as a Cooperating Agency
are requested to submit a letter of intent
to Colonel Paul E. Owen, District
Engineer (see ADDRESSES). The
preparation of the EIS will be
coordinated with New York State and
New York City agencies with
discretionary authority relative to the
proposed actions. The Draft EIS is
currently scheduled for distribution to
the public November 2015.

ACTION: Notice of supplemental decision

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
sonar.
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
