SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
Programmatic Environmental
Assessment (PEA) serves as a framework
to analyze the potential impacts on the
natural and human environment from
aquaculture research and development
projects funded by federal financial
assistance award programs in the Office
of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research
(OAR) and the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS). The overall
goal of NOAA’s aquaculture research
and development federal financial
assistance award programs is to provide
opportunities to public, private, and
tribal entities to obtain scientific
knowledge that will inform NOAA’s
regulatory and resource management
decisions and foster innovative and
sustainable approaches to aquaculture
that will benefit NOAA’s trust
resources. NOAA proposes to further
these efforts in domestic marine and
freshwater aquaculture research and
development in accordance with the
statutory authorities described in this
PEA. Existing federal financial
assistance award programs for
aquaculture research and development
projects that are discussed in this PEA
include: The National Sea Grant College
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
68441
Program (Sea Grant), the Small Business
Innovation Research Program (SBIR)
and programs administered by the
Office of Aquaculture (OAQ).
Projects analyzed as part of this PEA
are broadly described as falling under
one of the following five main research
and development categories: outreach,
education, and planning; data analysis
and social science research; laboratory
and rearing science and research on
finfish and shellfish; field research and
assessments; and, shellfish aquaculture
restoration. Aquaculture research and
development federal awards are needed
to gain scientific knowledge and
develop a trained workforce to address
critical issues including: supporting a
healthy coastal economy; addressing the
demand for domestic seafood products;
and enhancing wild stock populations
(for commercial purposes). The federal
financial assistance award programs
described provide a unique opportunity
within NOAA to partner with external
researchers and institutions, engage in
private sector, tribal, and public
collaborations, and facilitate
aquaculture research and development
to meet these needs. NOAA intends for
this PEA to create efficiencies by
establishing a framework that can be
used for ‘‘tiering’’ when appropriately
applied to future aquaculture research
and development awards. As financial
assistance awards are proposed, to the
extent additional NEPA analysis is
required, environmental review will
rely on the analysis set forth in this
PEA.
This document has been prepared in
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), the 1978 Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ)
Regulations (40 Code of Federal
Regulations [CFR] 1500–1508), and
NOAA policy and procedures (NOAA
Administrative Order 216–6A (NAO
216–6A and its Companion Manual
(CM)).
