9328 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 33 / Thursday, February 17, 2011 / Notices 

and state laws. The Trustee agencies, 

including NOAA, are leading efforts to 

assess and restore affected resources. 

These resources include ecologically, 

recreationally, and commercially 

important species and their habitats in 

the Gulf of Mexico and along the coastal 

areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, 

Alabama, Texas, and Florida, as well as 

human uses of these resources. 

Natural Resource Damage Assessment 

(NRDA) is the process established under 

OPA to evaluate the impacts to natural 

resources and lost human uses of those 

resources. Information continues to be 

collected on pre-oiled and oiled areas to 

assess potential impacts to natural 

resources, including: fish, shellfish, 

marine mammals, turtles, birds, and 

other sensitive resources and their 

habitats, including; wetlands, beaches, 

mudflats, bottom sediments, corals, and 

the water column. Losses of commercial 

and recreational human uses such as 

fishing, hunting, boating, and beach 

enjoyment are also being assessed. 

OPA authorizes certain federal and 

state agencies and Indian tribes to be 

designated as Trustees for affected 

natural resources. Under OPA, these 

agencies and tribes are authorized to 

assess natural resource injuries and to 

seek compensation from RPs, including 

the costs of performing the damage 

assessment. The Trustees are required to 

use recovered damages only to restore, 

replace or acquire the equivalent of 

injured or lost resources and the human 

use of those resources. Toward that end, 

the PEIS will identify types of 

restoration that could be used to 

compensate the public for lost resources 

and their services, as well as a 

framework and procedures for the 

selection and implementation of 

restoration projects that will 

compensate the public for the natural 

resource damages caused by the Oil 

Spill. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., and 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations implementing NEPA under 

40 CFR Chapter V apply to restoration 

actions by federal trustees. The federal 

and state Trustees will be developing a 

PEIS to help guide restoration actions 

associated with the NRDA for the Oil 

Spill. The PEIS will assess the 

environmental, social, and economic 

attributes of the affected environment 

and the potential consequences of 

alternative actions to restore, 

rehabilitate, replace, or acquire the 

equivalent of natural resources and 

services potentially injured by the spill. 

A PEIS may be prepared to evaluate 

actions that encompass a large 

geographic scale. Tiered analyses 

considering particular restoration 

actions may be required in the future as 

specific plans for implementing 

particular alternatives are established. 

The purpose of the scoping process is 

to identify the concerns of the affected 

public and federal agencies, states, and 

Indian tribes, involve the public early in 

the decision making process, facilitate 

an efficient PEIS preparation process, 

define the issues and alternatives that 

will be examined in detail, and save 

time by ensuring that draft documents 

adequately address relevant issues. The 

scoping process reduces paperwork and 

delay by ensuring that important issues 

are addressed early. Following the 

scoping process, the Trustees will 

prepare a draft PEIS, at which time the 

public will be encouraged to comment 

on the document. Similar to the scoping 

process, public comment meetings will 

be held at that time to gather oral and 

written public input on the draft PEIS. 

In compliance with 15 CFR 990.45, 

the Trustees will prepare an 

Administrative Record (Record). The 

Record will include documents that the 

Trustees relied on during the 

development of the PEIS. After 

preparation, the Record will be on file 

at the NOAA Restoration Center in 

Silver Spring, MD, and duplicate copies 

will be maintained at the following Web 

site: http://www.darrp.noaa.gov/. The 

specific web page will be provided in 

the next public notice. 

The draft PEIS document is intended 

to be released for public comment by 

Fall/Winter, 2011. Specific dates and 

times for future events will be 

publicized when scheduled.
