SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final PEIS was developed to identify and evaluate the general impacts, issues and concerns related to the implementation of the types of projects that are consistent with the scope of the S–K Program. The S–K Program funds projects that address the needs of fishing communities, optimize economic benefits by building and maintaining sustainable fisheries (where the term ‘‘fisheries’’ includes commercial wild capture, recreational fishing, cultural and subsistence fishing, and marine aquaculture), and increase other opportunities to keep working waterfronts viable. The PEIS will be used to support site- and projectspecific National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews, as necessary. The PEIS addresses all of the priorities and their associated project types that the S– K Program has funded since 2010, which cover the range of priorities and project types that fall under the S–K Program. The affected environment associated with the proposed action PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 includes all marine, estuarine, and coastal habitats in the United States and territories. It also includes freshwater interior habitats that influence or affect rivers, streams, and creeks affecting marine or estuarine waters, or that support migratory fish populations. It may also include adjacent or continuous habitats in Canada or Mexico that support living coastal and marine resources under NOAA trusteeship. The Final PEIS considers comments made on the Draft PEIS that officially began on May 13, 2022 and ended on June 27, 2022. Based on the information provided in the Final PEIS, NOAA has identified the continued operation and active management for Promotion, Marketing, Research, and Development of the S–K Program as the preferred alternative.

Saltonstall-Kennedy Research and Development Program

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NOAA announces the availability of its Final Programmatic 
Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) which analyzes the potential 
environmental impacts of the implementation of projects that foster the 
promotion, marketing, research, and development of U.S. Fisheries and 
their associated fishing sectors, as consistent with NOAA's 
Saltonstall-Kennedy Research and Development Program (S-K Program). The 
focus of this action is on activities and projects under the S-K 
Program, which interfaces with numerous programs within NOAA, and it is 
NOAA's intention that this PEIS may also cover those activities and 
projects implemented by other NOAA programs and offices that are 
consistent with the scope of the S-K Program. In preparing the Final 
PEIS, NOAA has considered public comments received on the Draft PEIS, 
which was published in April 2022.

DATES: NOAA will publish a Record of Decision no sooner than 30 days 
after publication of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Notice 
of Availability for this Final PEIS on the S-K website.

ADDRESSES: The Final PEIS is available at the NOAA website at the 
following link: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/content/saltonstall-kennedy-research-and-development-program.
