produce leaders of character who will
contribute to a culture of civility as they
become officers in the USAF. DoD
requests emergency processing and
OMB authorization to collect the
information after publication of this
notice for a period of six months.
DATES: Comments must be received by
April 4, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This study
supports the Sexual Assault Prevention
and Response Office’s (SAPRO) mission
(and that of the larger USAF) to work
toward an Air Force culture that is free
of sexual violence. This effort will also
support completion of USAF Academy
SAPRO’s DoD Junior Leader Working
Group’s plan of action and milestones.
Ultimately, the implementation of the
adapted curriculum may result in a
reduced number of sexual assaults and
enhanced psychological health and
well-being among Airmen, enabling
them to remain fit for duty.
This study will collect formative
research data through focus groups and
interviews to inform recommendations
to enhance the current USAF Academy
sexual assault leadership training
curriculum. Research partners at the
University of Florida and RTI
International will collect feedback from
trainees in Squadron Officer School at
Maxwell Air Force Base concerning
perceived readiness for duty,
perceptions of the leadership training
received at USAF Academy, and
opportunities for enhancement across
the four-year USAF Academy
curriculum.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of the Navy
(DoN) has prepared and filed with the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) 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

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 53 / Friday, March 18, 2022 / Notices
Supplemental EIS/OEIS, the DoN is
initiating a 45-day public comment
period. Federal, state, and local agencies
and interested parties are encouraged to
provide written comments on the
supplement to the Draft Supplemental
EIS anytime during the public comment
period. This notice announces the
opportunity to review and comment on
the Draft Supplemental EIS, and
provides supplementary information
about the environmental planning effort.
All comments submitted during the
public review period will become part
of the public record and will be
responded to in the Final Supplemental
EIS/OEIS. 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.
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 recognized that the
size and shape of the Temporary
Maritime Activities Area (TMAA) in the
Gulf of Alaska no longer provides
sufficient space for the realistic
maneuvering of vessels and aircraft
during training exercises. The DoN
announced its intent to prepare a
supplement to the December 2020 GOA
Navy Training Activities Draft
Supplemental EIS/OEIS on February 1,
2022 (87 FR 5472). Proposed changes to
the Study Area include additional
airspace and sea space to the west and
south of the TMAA. The area is referred
to as the Western Maneuver Area and
adds approximately 185,806 square
nautical miles to the Study Area. This
additional space would enable Navy
personnel and units to practice more
realistic, complex training scenarios in
a safer, more efficient manner that
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
would better prepare them to respond to
real-world incidents. The TMAA
(approximately 42,146 square nautical
miles) would remain unchanged and
any activities involving active sonar or
explosives would, as in the past, occur
in this area only. The DoN is not
proposing new or increased number of
training activities in the Western
Maneuver Area, only an expansion of
the area the Navy may use for vessel and
aircraft maneuvering purposes during
exercises. The number of vessels,
aircraft, underway steaming hours,
events, and flight times remains the
same. Although the Study Area has
expanded, the conclusions regarding
potential impacts have not significantly
changed from the 2020 Draft
Supplemental EIS/OEIS.
In direct response to agency, tribal,
and public comments, the DoN also
proposes implementing a new
mitigation area within the continental
shelf and slope area of the TMAA
(approximately 14,600 square nautical
miles). The DoN would expand its
mitigation measures for explosives
detonated at or near the surface and
prohibit the use of explosives during
training (up to 10,000 feet altitude) in
areas of less than 4,000 meter depth to
protect marine species and biologically
important habitat. The DoN anticipates
the implementation of the proposed
mitigation area would reduce impacts
on marine mammals, fish, and marine
birds.
