In the Programmatic EIS, BOEM evaluated seven alternatives. All but the No Action Alternative focused on mitigation measures to avoid or reduce the potential environmental impacts that could result from future G&G activities in the GOM. The Programmatic EIS and Record of Decision are available at https:// www.boem.gov/regions/gulf-mexico-ocsregion/resource-evaluation/gulf-mexicogeological-and-geophysical-gg. After careful consideration, the Record of Decision identifies BOEM’s selection of Alternative C of the Programmatic EIS. Under Alternative C, G&G activities would continue to be permitted and authorized, and would include the mitigation measures, monitoring, reporting, survey protocols, and guidance that were in place prior to the settlement agreement in Natural Resources Defense Council Ins., et al., v. Bernhardt, et al., Defendants and API, et al., Intervenor, Defendants, No. 2:10–cv– 01882 (E.D. La.), as well as additional mitigation and temporal measures for survey protocols for seismic airgun and nonairgun HRG surveys. While BOEM is selecting Alternative C at this programmatic stage, rather than adopting the non-airgun, HRG survey protocol (as described in Appendix B of the Programmatic EIS), the protocol will be reserved, considered, and applied at the site-specific stage, on an as-needed basis, to further minimize the potential for injury to marine mammals and sea turtles. BOEM’s selection of the Preferred Alternative meets the purpose of and need for the proposed action, balances regional and national policy considerations, and includes appropriate measures to minimize potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts. This decision does not by itself authorize any activities. The mitigation measures contemplated in Alternative C may be supplemented by additional requirements or tailored as site-specific circumstances warrant in permits or other specific authorizations after BOEM completes additional environmental review. Authority: This Notice of Availability of a Record of Decision is published pursuant to the regulations (40 CFR part 1503; 1978, as amended in 1986 and 2005) implementing the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:18 Dec 03, 2020 Jkt 253001 of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
