SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions,
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
Highly Migratory Species Management
Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include:
Data collectors and database managers;
stock assessment scientists, biologists,
and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion at the SEDAR
78 South Atlantic Spanish Mackerel
Assessment Webinar 4 are as follows:
Finalize any data issues as needed;
continue the discussion on base model
configuration and discuss proposed
changes to the model, sensitivity runs,
and projections; and finalize the base
model configuration if possible.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come

Department of the Navy
Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Supplement to the Gulf of Alaska Navy
Training Activities Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement/
Overseas Environmental Impact
Statement
Department of the Navy (DoN),
Department of Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of the Navy
(DoN) announces its intent to prepare a
supplement to the December 2020 Gulf
of Alaska (GOA) Navy Training
Activities Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/
Overseas Environmental Impact
Statement (OEIS). This supplement to
the Draft Supplemental EIS/OEIS will
address a change in the Study Area and
the addition of a new Continental Shelf
and Slope Mitigation Area.
ADDRESSES: Naval Facilities Engineering
Command, Northwest, Attention: GOA
Supplemental EIS/OEIS Project
Manager, 1101 Tautog Circle, Suite 203,
Silverdale, Washington 98315–1101,
projectmanager@goaeis.com.
SUPPLEMENTATRY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to section 102(2)(c) of the NEPA,
regulations implemented by the Council
on Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts
1500–1508), and Presidential Executive
Order 12114, the DoN announced its
intent to prepare a supplement to the
2011 GOA Navy Training Activities EIS/
OEIS and 2016 GOA Navy Training
Activities Supplemental EIS/OEIS in the
Federal Register (FR) on February 10,
2020 (85 FR 7538), and invited the
public to comment on the scope of the
Supplemental EIS/OEIS. A Draft
Supplemental EIS/OEIS was
subsequently released on December 11,
2020 (85 FR 80093), in which the
potential environmental effects
associated with military readiness
training activities conducted within the
GOA Study Area were evaluated.
Since the release of the Draft
Supplemental EIS/OEIS on December
11, 2020, the DoN has recognized that
the size and shape of the Temporary
Maritime Activities Area (TMAA) in the
Gulf of Alaska does not provide
sufficient space for the realistic
maneuvering of vessels and aircraft
during training exercises. The proposed
study area will now include additional
air space and sea space to the west and
south of the TMAA. This additional area
is referred to as the Western Maneuver
Area (WMA) and is approximately
185,806 square nautical miles. The
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
TMAA, as currently defined
(approximately 42,146 square nautical
miles), would remain unchanged with
all activities involving active sonar and
explosives still occurring in this area
only. No new or increased training
activities are proposed as part of the
revised proposed action, only an
expansion of the overall training area for
vessel and aircraft maneuvering
purposes. In addition, DoN proposes
implementing a new mitigation area
within the continental shelf and shelf
slope area of the TMAA. To protect
marine species and biologically
important habitat, use of explosives (up
to 10,000 feet altitude) would be
restricted in this area.
All public comments received during
the Draft Supplemental EIS/OEIS
comment period (December 11, 2020,
through February 16, 2021) are still
valid and will be considered in the
Final Supplemental EIS/OEIS for this
action. Previously submitted comments
need not be resubmitted. The
supplement to the Draft Supplemental
EIS/OEIS is expected to be available in
March 2022. A Notice of Availability of
the supplement to the Draft
Supplemental EIS/OEIS will be
published in the Federal Register at that
time, and the supplement to the Draft
Supplemental EIS/OEIS will be released
for a public comment period of 45 days.
No decision will be made to implement
any alternative in the GOA Study Area
until the NEPA process is complete and
a Record of Decision is signed by the
DoN.
