conservation and restoration activities
implementing NOAA’s CRCP
throughout the United States, South
Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and
Pacific Island Regions, and priority
international areas (i.e., wider
Caribbean, Coral Triangle, South Pacific,
and Micronesia). It will assess the
direct, indirect, and cumulative
environmental impacts of NOAA’s
proposed action to continue funding
and otherwise implementing coral reef
conservation and restoration activities.
This will be achieved through its
existing programmatic framework and
related procedures for implementing the
CRCP. The CRCP is implemented
consistently with the requirements of
the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000
(CRCA) and Executive Order 13089.
Projects implemented or funded by
NOAA vary in terms of their size,
complexity, geographic location, and
NOAA involvement. They often benefit
diverse coral species, habitats, and
ecosystem types. The CRCP conducts
research and monitoring to gather data
on the existence and condition of coral
reef ecosystems to support conservation
and restoration efforts. NOAA
implements the CRCP across four of its
line offices (i.e., National Ocean Service,
Oceanic and Atmospheric Research,
National Marine Fisheries Service,
National Environmental Satellite Data
Information Service) and in
coordination with other federal
agencies, state and local agencies,
private conservation organizations, and
research and academic institutions. A
significant amount of this support is
administered through grants and
cooperative agreements. CRCP activities
are prioritized based on available
funding and the responsiveness to the
priorities in its strategic plan, including
jurisdictional needs.
The purpose of this DPEIS is to
identify and evaluate the general
environmental impacts, issues, and
concerns related to the comprehensive
management and implementation of the
CRCP, including potential mitigation.
NOAA anticipates that actual
environmental effects will be caused by
site-specific, project-level activities
implementing the CRCP; therefore, this
DPEIS will be used to support tiered,
site-specific NEPA reviews by
narrowing the scope of environmental
impacts and facilitating focused,
project-level reviews. NOAA also
intends for this DPEIS to establish a
tiered environmental decision making
framework that will support efficient
compliance with other statutes
protecting natural resources such as the
Endangered Species Act and Marine

Mammal Protection Act. Since the CRCP
will use this DPEIS to conduct tiered
analyses, this document does not
evaluate the environmental impacts of
any project-level activities.
Alternatives
NOAA is preliminarily proposing to
analyze three program-level alternatives:
• No Action Alternative reflecting the
‘‘status quo’’ management of the CRCP
based on minimizing threats.
• Alternative 1: Continued Operation
of the CRCP based on minimizing
threats with the addition of a framework
to further research, test, and potentially
implement novel coral restoration
intervention techniques to respond
rapidly to imminent threats to corals
and coral ecosystems.
• Alternative 2: Continued Operation
of the CRCP plus implementation of
discretionary, standardized
conservation and mitigation measures
with or without the addition of a
framework for novel intervention
techniques.
The fundamental distinction between
Alternative 1 and the No Action
Alternative is that Alternative 1 would
adopt a framework that would add
novel intervention techniques as tools to
respond to imminent threats to corals.
The DPEIS will consider the
environmental effects of a suite of these
intervention strategies, but will not
commit to implement any.
Implementation would occur through a
separate decision making process. The
primary distinction between Alternative
2 and the No Action Alternative is that
Alternative 2 would call for
implementation of not only mitigation
measures imposed through statutory
and regulatory compliance but also
discretionary, standardized
conservation and mitigation measures
designed to further protect and conserve
marine and other environmental
resources. Alternative 2 could be
adopted with or without a framework
for novel intervention strategies.
Preliminary major issues to be
addressed in this DPEIS may include:
the impact of the CRCP’s activities and
operations on coral ecosystems; coral
species listed as threatened or
endangered under the Federal
Endangered Species Act; other marine
and terrestrial resources; and the
cumulative effects of the action when
considered along with environmental
conditions and past, present, and future
actions potentially affecting coral and
coastal ecosystems and coastal marine
resources. The CRCP is also seeking to
identify mitigation measures that would
be effective at avoiding, minimizing,
and mitigating adverse effects of project-

level activities and specifically requests
public comment on this issue.
Public Comment
OCM begins this NEPA process by
soliciting input from the public and
interested parties on the type of impacts
to be considered in the DPEIS, the range
of alternatives to be assessed, and any
other pertinent information.
Specifically, this scoping process is
intended to accomplish the following
objectives:
1. Invite affected federal, state, and
local agencies, and interested persons to
participate in the DPEIS process.
2. Determine the potential significant
environmental issues to be analyzed in
the DPEIS.
3. Identify and eliminate issues
determined to be insignificant or
addressed in other documents.
4. Identify related environmental
documents being prepared.
5. Identify other environmental
review and consultation requirements.
The official scoping period ends on
August 15, 2018. Please visit the CRCP
web page for additional information
regarding the program: https://
coralreef.noaa.gov/.
Authority
The preparation of the DPEIS for the
CRCP will be conducted under the
authority and in accordance with the
requirements of NEPA, Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations (40
CFR parts 1500–1508), other applicable
regulations, and NOAA’s policies and
procedures for compliance with those
regulations.
Written comments must be received
on or before August 15, 2018.
Dated: June 29, 2018.
