In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final
determination has been made that the
activities proposed are categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
with metadata tags to denote data
quality and universal data licenses to
define terms of use, which will result in
more streamlined, standardized
workflows. Numerous subject matter
experts collaborated to modernize the
HSSD so that it best supports OCS as a
data-driven organization.
Authority
DATES:
Scientific research permits are issued
in accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A)
of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
regulations governing listed fish and
wildlife permits (50 CFR 222–226).
NMFS issues permits based on finding
that such permits: (1) are applied for in
good faith; (2) if granted and exercised,
would not operate to the disadvantage
of the listed species that are the subject
of the permit; and, (3) are consistent
with the purposes and policy of section
2 of the ESA. The authority to take
listed species is subject to conditions set
forth in the permits.

In
accordance with the Coast and Geodetic
Survey Act, 33 U.S.C. 883 et seq., and
the Hydrographic Services Improvement
Act, 33 U.S.C. 892 et seq., NOAA
promulgates standards and
specifications for hydrographic data in
the HSSD in order to ensure safe and
efficient navigation in support of our
maritime economy. NOAA has revised
the HSSD to better accommodate new
and developing technologies and
increasing amounts of externallysourced hydrographic data submissions.
The revised HSSD facilitates more
streamlined workflows via critical
metadata tags and universal data
licenses, and is better integrated with
the NBS program, for a more efficient
means of product generation and public
access to our national bathymetry.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s
(NOAA’s) Office of Coast Survey (OCS)
requests public comment from all
interested parties on a draft of the
newly-revised Hydrographic Survey
Specifications and Deliverables
document (HSSD). The HSSD has been
rewritten to be more forward looking
with respect to new and developing
technologies, best facilitate the use of
automated tools, and better integrate
with the S–100 based products and the
National Bathymetric Source (NBS),
which is the OCS database for bestavailable bathymetry. Additionally, the
revised HSSD will better accommodate
the increasing amounts of hydrographic
data obtained from external sources,
