Agency Information Collection Activities Under OMB Review, 6238-6239 [2023-01919]

Download as PDF 6238 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 20 / Tuesday, January 31, 2023 / Notices sanctuary include low-flying aircraft, motorized personal watercraft, fireworks, close proximity to wildlife aggregation areas (by land, water, or air), and other human-generated noises from activities such as shipping, military exercises, or seismic exploration. NOAA seeks input regarding which human activities have the most potential to disturb wildlife and the means by which the sanctuary can best monitor, address, and/or mitigate such disturbances. Water Quality NOAA strives to maintain and improve water quality in the region. Although water quality within the sanctuary is generally good as described in the 2022 Condition Report, NOAA remains concerned regarding the potential for contamination through vessel discharges (e.g., ballast water and treated or raw sewage) and through the unintentional introduction of petroleum products, pathogens, and chemicals. There are also several contaminants of concern (e.g., microplastics) that enter marine waters through wastewater treatment plants, stormwater outfalls and runoff, industrial outfalls, and landfills. NOAA is interested in the public’s views regarding what human activities and sources have the most potential to impact water quality in the sanctuary, what those potential impacts may be, and the means by which the sanctuary can best monitor, address, and/or mitigate those impacts. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Introduced Species Although relatively few nonindigenous species have been reported in sanctuary waters, introduced species can pose a threat to marine life and habitats. For example, introduced European green crabs were first identified in habitats adjacent to the sanctuary in 2017 and their populations have exploded since then, which presents a rapidly emerging threat to native species as well as to the shellfish industry in Washington state. European green crabs compete with native species and damage nearshore habitats, which often serve as important nursery areas for species like salmon and Dungeness crab. NOAA seeks input regarding how the sanctuary can best contribute to partner efforts aimed at management of introduced species. Education and Outreach Enhancing the public’s awareness and appreciation of the Olympic Coast’s natural and cultural resources is a cornerstone of the sanctuary’s mission. NOAA is seeking input on the effectiveness of the sanctuary’s current education and outreach programs and VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:46 Jan 30, 2023 Jkt 259001 ideas regarding how to continue to expand public awareness, including opportunities to participate in environmental research and monitoring, integrating outreach into all education levels, and more effective partnering with tribes, federal and state agencies, local businesses and organizations, and other user groups. IV. Boundary and Regulatory Changes In preparing for public scoping, NOAA has not identified the need for any changes to OCNMS boundaries. However, NOAA is interested in public input on the adequacy of existing boundaries to protect sanctuary resources, and other regulatory changes. Regulatory changes and/or boundary modifications may be considered based on a review of public scoping comments and, if proposed, would be presented for public review with the publication of a proposed rulemaking prior to any finalization and implementation. V. Public Comments NOAA is interested in receiving input on: Æ The effectiveness of the existing management plan in meeting both the mandates of the NMSA and OCNMS goals and objectives. Æ The effectiveness of OCNMS programs, including programs focused on resource protection; education and outreach; and research and monitoring. Æ NOAA’s implementation of OCNMS regulations and issuance of permits. Æ The existing operational and administrative framework at OCNMS (staffing, offices, vessels, capabilities, infrastructure, etc.). Æ The relevance and timeliness of the management issues identified above. VI. Federal Consultations This document also advises the public that NOAA will coordinate its consultation responsibilities under section 7 of the ESA, EFH under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, section 106 of the NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470), and Federal Consistency review under the CZMA. Through its ongoing NEPA process and the use of NEPA documents and public and stakeholder meetings, NOAA will also coordinate compliance with other federal laws. In fulfilling its responsibility under the NHPA and NEPA, NOAA intends to identify consulting parties; identify historic properties and assess the effects of the undertaking on such properties; initiate formal consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer, the Advisory Council of Historic Preservation, and other consulting PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 parties; involve the public in accordance with NOAA’s NEPA procedures; and develop in consultation with identified consulting parties alternatives and proposed measures that might avoid, minimize, or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties and describe them in any environmental analysis. Executive Order 13175, ‘‘Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (November 6, 2000), requires each Federal agency to establish procedures for meaningful consultation and coordination with tribal officials in the development of Federal policies that have tribal implications. NOAA will initiate communication and consultation with tribal officials pursuant to Executive Order 13175, Department of Commerce tribal consultation policies, and NOAA procedures for government-togovernment consultation with federallyrecognized Indian Tribes. As previously noted, the sanctuary’s trust responsibility to each of the Coastal Treaty Tribes will help guide the management plan review. Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.
