Public Comments
NOAA is interested in hearing the
public’s views on:
• The potential impacts of ongoing
and proposed sanctuary activities
discussed above, and ways to mitigate
impacts to sanctuary resources.
• The preliminary priority topics
discussed above, and whether these are
the appropriate priority topics, or if
there are additional topics NOAA
should consider.
• The effectiveness of the existing
management plan in meeting the
mandates of the NMSA (16 U.S.C. 1431
et seq.) and supporting the mission and
goals expressed in the current strategic
plan for the National Marine Sanctuary
System (available on the internet here:

Federal Consultations
This document also advises the public
that NOAA will coordinate its
consultation responsibilities under
section 7 of the ESA, EFH under the
Magnuson-Stevens Act, section 106 of
the NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470), and Federal
Consistency review under the CZMA.
Through its ongoing NEPA process and
the use of NEPA documents and public
and stakeholder meetings, NOAA will
also coordinate compliance with other
federal laws.
In fulfilling its responsibility under
the NHPA and NEPA, NOAA intends to
identify consulting parties; identify
historic properties and assess the effects
of the undertaking on such properties;
initiate formal consultation with the
State Historic Preservation Officer, the
Advisory Council of Historic
Preservation, and other consulting
parties; involve the public in
accordance with NOAA’s NEPA
procedures; and develop in consultation
with identified consulting parties
alternatives and proposed measures that
might avoid, minimize, or mitigate any
adverse effects on historic properties
and describe them in any environmental
analysis.
NOAA will also initiate
communications and consultation steps
with relevant federally recognized tribal
governments pursuant to Executive
Order 13175, Department of Commerce
tribal consultation policies, and NOAA
procedures for government-togovernment consultation with federally
recognized Indian Tribes.
