Notice of Intent To Prepare a

Department of the Navy; DoD.
Notice.
AGENCY:

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA),
Executive Order 12114 (Environmental
Effects Abroad of Major Federal
Actions), and in compliance with
OPNAVINST 5090.1D the Navy is
announcing its intent to prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS)/Supplemental
Overseas Environmental Impact
Statement (SOEIS) for the worldwide
employment of SURTASS LFA sonar.
DATES: The Draft SEIS/SOEIS is
expected to be available in June 2016, at
which time the public comment period
will be open for 45 days. The Final
SEIS/SOEIS is expected to be completed
by June 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Chief of Naval Operations, Code N2/
N6F24, c/o SURTASS LFA Sonar SEIS/
SOEIS Program Manager, 4350 Fairfax
Drive, Suite 600, Arlington, Virginia
22203; or email: eisteam@surtass-lfaeis.com.
In
continuance of the Navy’s commitment
to responsible stewardship of the
marine environment and building upon
analyses and information included in
the Navy’s 2001 Final Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS)/Overseas EIS
(OEIS), 2007 Final SEIS, 2012 Final
SEIS/SOEIS, and 2015 Final SEIS/
SOEIS, the Navy intends to prepare a
comprehensive assessment of the
environmental effects associated with
employment of SURTASS LFA 1 sonar
systems. The SEIS/SOEIS and
associated analysis will be used to
support consultations associated with
expiring regulatory permits and
authorizations in 2017.
The Navy proposes to continue
employing up to four SURTASS LFA
sonar systems onboard U.S. Navy
surveillance ships for routine training,
testing, and military operations in the
Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans, and
the Mediterranean Sea with certain
geographical restrictions and other
preventive measures designed to
mitigate adverse effects on the marine
environment. As part of the SEIS/SOEIS
analyses, the Navy will continue to
assess potential impacts of SURTASS
LFA sonar systems to offshore
biologically important areas (OBIAs).
Effectiveness of the mitigation measures
that are the foundation of the Navy’s
operation of SURTASS LFA sonar will
also be re-assessed in the context of new
technologies and methodologies as well
as operational practicability.
1 ‘‘SURTASS LFA sonar systems’’ refers to both
the LFA and compact LFA (CLFA) systems, each
having similar acoustic transmission characteristics.

In addition to the No Action
alternative, alternatives will include the
alternative chosen in the Navy’s 2012
Record of Decision and an analysis of
potential additional new or modified
OBIAs developed from the Adaptive
Management process and a
comprehensive review of relevant
scientific information/data during the
SEIS/SOEIS review process.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
has been asked to be a cooperating
agency under 40 CFR 1501.6 for the
development of the SEIS/SOEIS. The
SEIS/SOEIS will comply with both
NEPA and Executive Order 12114 as
well as other relevant environmental
statutes.

SURTASS LFA sonar and pertinent
environmental documents are available
