SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf 

of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 

Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions, 

have implemented the Southeast Data, 

Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 

process, a multi-step method for 

determining the status of fish stocks in 

the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data 

Workshop; (2) Assessment Process 

utilizing webinars; and (3) Review 

Workshop. The product of the Data 

Workshop is a data report which 

compiles and evaluates potential 

datasets and recommends which 

datasets are appropriate for assessment 

analyses. The product of the Assessment 

Process is a stock assessment report 

which describes the fisheries, evaluates 

the status of the stock, estimates 

biological benchmarks, projects future 

population conditions, and recommends 

research and monitoring needs. The 

assessment is independently peer 

reviewed at the Review Workshop. The 

product of the Review Workshop is a 

Summary documenting panel opinions 

regarding the strengths and weaknesses 

of the stock assessment and input data. 

Participants for SEDAR Workshops are 

appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South 

Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery 

Management Councils and NOAA 

Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, 

Highly Migratory Species Management 

Division, and Southeast Fisheries 

Science Center. Participants include: 

Data collectors and database managers; 

stock assessment scientists, biologists, 

and researchers; constituency 

representatives including fishermen, 

environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); 

international experts; and staff of 

Councils, Commissions, and state and 

federal agencies. 

The items of discussion at the SEDAR 

71 Gag Grouper Assessment Webinar IV 

are as follows: 

• Discuss data and modeling as needed 

• Finalize modeling and data 

discussions 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during this meeting. Action will 

be restricted to those issues specifically 

identified in this notice and any issues 

arising after publication of this notice 

that require emergency action under

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration 

Notice of Matching Fund Opportunity 

for Hydrographic Surveys and Request 

for Partnership Proposals 

AGENCY: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Announcement of matching 

fund pilot program opportunity, request 

for proposals, and request for interest by 

February 26, 2021. 

SUMMARY: This notice establishes 

selection criteria and requirements for 

the NOAA National Ocean Service 

Office of Coast Survey’s (Coast Survey) 

Hydrographic Surveying Matching Fund 

opportunity pilot program (pilot 

program). The purpose of this notice is 

to encourage non-Federal entities to 

partner with NOAA on jointly funded 

hydrographic surveying and mapping 

and related activities of mutual interest. 

NOAA would match partner funds and 

rely on its existing contract 

arrangements to conduct the actual 

surveying and mapping activities. 

NOAA is requesting that interested 

entities submit proposals by February 

26, 2021. The goal of the pilot program 

is to acquire more ocean and coastal 

hydrographic surveying for mutual 

benefit, including for safe navigation, 

integrated ocean and coastal mapping, 

coastal zone management, coastal and 

ocean science, and other activities. The 

program relies on NOAA’s hydrographic 

expertise, appropriated funds, and its 

authority to receive and expend 

matching funds contributed by partners 

to conduct surveying and mapping 

activities. This pilot program is subject 

to funding availability. 

DATES: Proposals must be received via 

email by 5 p.m. EST on February 26, 

2021 with any accompanying GIS files 

due no later than March 5, 2021. If an 

entity is unable to apply for this 

particular opportunity but has an 

interest in participating in similar, 

future opportunities, NOAA requests a 

one-page statement of interest by 

February 26, 2021, to help gauge 

whether to offer this matching fund 

program in future years. 

ADDRESSES: Proposals must be 

submitted in PDF format via email to 

iwgocm.staff@noaa.gov by the February 

26, 2021, deadline. Coast Survey 

strongly encourages interested entities 

to submit their proposals in advance of 

the deadline. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information 

should be directed to Ashley Chappell, 

NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal 

Mapping Coordinator, 240–429–0293, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Coast Survey is responsible for 

conducting hydrographic and seafloor 

surveys for safe navigation, the 

conservation and management of coastal 

and ocean resources, and emergency 

response. Coast Survey is committed to 

meeting these missions as 

collaboratively as possible, adhering to 

the Integrated Ocean and Coastal 

Mapping (IOCM) principle of ‘‘Map 

Once, Use Many Times.’’ 

After the June 2020 publications of 

the National Strategy for Mapping, 

Exploring (NOMEC), and Characterizing 

the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and 

the Alaska Coastal Mapping Strategy 

(ACMS), Coast Survey released a 

responsive Ocean Mapping Plan with a 

goal to map the full extent of waters 

subject to U.S. jurisdiction to modern 

standards (all three plans are available 

at https://iocm.noaa.gov/about/ 

strategic-plans.html. The Coast Survey 

Ocean Mapping Plan describes a 

number of motivating forces for 

surveying and mapping waters subject 

to U.S. jurisdiction, including, but not 

limited to: 

• Safe marine transportation; 

• Coastal community resilience; 

• A need to better understand the 

influence of the ocean’s composition on 

related physical and ecosystem 

processes that affect climate, weather, 

and coastal and marine resources and 

infrastructure; 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
2388 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 12, 2021 / Notices 

• Interest in capitalizing on the Blue 

Economy in growth areas like seafood 

production, tourism and recreation, 

marine transportation, and ocean 

exploration; 

• The national prerogative to exercise 

U.S. sovereign rights to explore, 

manage, and conserve natural resources 

in waters subject to U.S. jurisdiction; 

and 

• International commitments to map 

the global oceans by 2030. 

Ocean mapping data is needed for 

safe navigation and also informs 

decisions regarding emergency 

planning, climate adaptation and 

resilience, economic investment, 

infrastructure development, and habitat 

protection. Emerging sectors that require 

high-resolution seafloor surveys include 

deep sea mineral exploration, national 

security, and maritime domain 

awareness in the Arctic Ocean. 

Numerous other fields that rely on highresolution ocean mapping data include 

fisheries management and sustainable 

use of natural resources, offshore 

renewable energy construction, and 

tsunami and hurricane modelling. 

Bathymetry is a critical factor in 

assessing and preparing for potential 

impacts of threats such as sea level rise, 

flooding, and storm surge to coastal 

communities. However, the resources 

needed to fully achieve the goal of 

comprehensively mapping U.S. oceans 

and coasts currently exceed Coast 

Survey’s capacity. Mapping the full 

extent of waters subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction means relying on partners 

to contribute to the effort. 

Coast Survey has considerable 

hydrographic expertise, including 

cutting edge understanding of the 

science and related acoustic systems. 

More detail on Coast Survey’s surveying 

expertise and capabilities is available in 

the NOAA Coast Survey Ocean Mapping 

Capabilities report (https://

nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/about/docs/ 

about/ocean-mapping-capabilies.pdf). 

Coast Survey’s hydrographic expertise is 

a resource available to NOAA partners, 

both federal and non-Federal. 

Through this pilot program, Coast 

Survey will match funds contributed by 

non-Federal entities for hydrographic 

surveys. Coast Survey hydrographic 

survey services include single beam and 

multibeam echo sounding, side scan 

sonar, lidar, and backscatter acquisition 

by means of air and surface vehicles, 

autonomous underwater vehicles, and 

uncrewed surface vehicles. 

II. Description 

This notice announces a pilot 

program to assess whether there is 

sufficient stakeholder interest in 

matching funds with Coast Survey to 

partner on ocean and coastal 

hydrographic surveys. Proposals will be 

evaluated and prioritized for funding 

based on submitted justifications. Coast 

Survey will select proposals using the 

review process and criteria evaluation 

described in section IX of this notice. If 

there is sufficient interest in the pilot 

program, Coast Survey plans to increase 

its allocation for matching funds in 

future years, as appropriations allow. 

The goal of this pilot program is to 

leverage NOAA and partner funds to 

acquire more coastal and ocean 

mapping data to a consistent standard 

for projects during FY2022. If 

appropriated funds are available, NOAA 

will match funds contributed by 

selected entities for hydrographic 

surveys. Coast Survey will receive the 

contributions through memoranda of 

agreement using the authority granted to 

NOAA under the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey Act of 1947 to receive and 

expend funds for collaborative 

hydrographic surveys (33 U.S.C. 883e). 

Coast Survey will manage survey 

planning, quality-assure all data and 

products, provide the data and products 

to the partners, and handle data 

submission to the National Centers for 

Environmental Information (NCEI) for 

archiving and accessibility. All 

hydrographic data and related products 

resulting from this pilot program will be 

available to the public. The value-added 

services Coast Survey will provide 

include: 

• Project management and GIS-based 

task order planning, negotiation and 

award of necessary procurement 

contracts: 

Æ Tailored to meet the interests of 

matching fund partners 

Æ Managed on aerial, shipboard, and 

uncrewed/autonomous vehicles 

• Data acquisition collection methods 

include, but are not limited to: 

Æ Multibeam Echosounder 

Æ Side Scan Sonar 

Æ Lidar (topographic, bathymetric, 

mobile) 

Æ Subsurface and airborne feature 

investigations 

Æ Sediment sampling 

• Managing survey compliance with 

applicable laws Products acquired may 

include, but not be limited to: 

• Bathymetric data (multibeam, single 

beam, lidar) 

• Backscatter 

• Water column (depth dependent) 

• Side scan sonar imagery 

• Feature detection reports 

• Sensor/data corrections and 

calibrations (e.g., conductivity, 

temperature and depth (CTD) casts, 

horizontal/vertical position 

uncertainty) 

• Survey and control services, 

including the installation, operation, 

and removal of water level and Global 

Positioning System (GPS) stations 

• Data processing, quality assessment 

and review of all acquired 

hydrographic data 

• Data management and stewardship 

through data archive at NCEI 

• High-resolution topographic/ 

bathymetric product generation 

More information on Coast Survey’s 

Hydrographic Surveys Specifications 

and Deliverables publication can be 

found at https://

nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/publications/ 

docs/standards-and-requirements/ 

specs/hssd-2020.pdf. This publication 

details the requirements for NOAA 

hydrographic surveys. These 

specifications are based in part on the 

International Hydrographic 

Organization’s Standards for 

Hydrographic Surveys, Special 

Publication 44 (https://iho.int/uploads/ 

user/pubs/Drafts/S-44_Edition_6.0.0- 

Final.pdf). 

Coast Survey would also like to gauge 

interest in this matching fund pilot 

program by eligible, non-Federal entities 

that do not plan to apply this year but 

that would consider applying in future 

years. Coast Survey welcomes eligible 

entities to submit a one-page statement 

of interest by February 26, 2021, that 

Coast Survey will consider in deciding 

whether to offer this matching fund 

program in future years. 

III. Areas of Focus 

For this opportunity, proposals will 

be considered that are well aligned with 

the goals of the NOMEC, ACMS, and the 

Coast Survey Ocean Mapping Plan (all 

available at https://iocm.noaa.gov/ 

about/strategic-plans.html). Those goals 

include: 

A. Map the United States Exclusive 

Economic Zone (EEZ): The goal is to 

coordinate mapping efforts to compile a 

complete map of deep water by 2030 

and nearshore waters by 2040. 

Completing this goal will give the 

United States unprecedented and 

detailed information about the depth, 

shape, and composition of the seafloor 

of the United States EEZ (NOMEC Goal 

2). 

B. Expand Alaska Coastal Data 

Collection to Deliver the Priority 

Geospatial Products Stakeholders 

Require: Mapping the Alaska coast is 

challenging. However, using targeted 

and coordinated data collections will 

potentially reduce overall costs and 

improve the cost-to-benefit ratio of 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 12, 2021 / Notices 2389 

expanded mapping activities. (ACMS 

Goal 2) 

C. Map the full extent of waters 

subject to U.S. jurisdiction to modern 

standards: Based on analysis of data 

holdings at the NOAA NCEI, 54 percent 

of waters subject to U.S. jurisdiction are 

unmapped, covering an area of about 

two million square nautical miles (Coast 

Survey Ocean Mapping Plan). 

IV. Proposal Eligibility 

This matching fund opportunity is 

available to non-Federal entities. 

Examples of non-Federal entities 

include state and local governments, 

tribal entities, universities, researchers 

and academia, the private sector, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and 

philanthropic partners. Qualifying 

proposals must demonstrate the ability 

to provide at least 50% matching funds, 

which would be transferred to NOAA by 

October 2021 using a memorandum of 

agreement. A coalition of non-Federal 

entities may assemble matching funds 

and submit a proposal jointly. In-kind 

contributions are welcome to strengthen 

the proposal, but do not count toward 

the match and therefore are not 

required. 

V. Deadlines and Process Dates 

All submissions must be emailed to 

iwgocm.staff@noaa.gov. Partner 

proposals are due by 5:00 p.m. EST on 

February 26, 2021 (see Section VIII. for 

details). Please include all required 

components of the proposal in one 

email. Incomplete and late submissions 

will not be considered.

VI. Funding Availability 

In the first year of this pilot program, 

Coast Survey anticipates funding 

between two to five survey projects at a 

50% match of up to $1 million per 

project. All projects are expected to 

have a FY2022 project start date and all 

non-Federal partner matching funds 

must be received by NOAA in October 

2021. Coast Survey reserves the right to 

increase or decrease the available 

amount of matching funds based on the 

quality and feasibility of proposals 

received. This notice is subject to the 

availability of appropriations. 

VII. Project Period 

NOAA intends to complete each 

selected project within two (2) years. 

However, the period to complete a 

project may be extended, with no 

additional funding, if additional time is 

needed. Coast Survey will submit a final 

report to the non-Federal partner within 

60 days of the conclusion of each 

project. 

VIII. Submission Requirements 

Project Proposal—To qualify, a 

proposal shall not exceed six (6) total 

pages (plus GIS files of project areas) 

and must include the following three 

components: 

1. A project title; executive summary 

(3–5 sentences); and the names, 

affiliations, and roles of the project 

partners and any co-investigators, as 

well as the project lead that will serve 

as primary contact (1 page maximum). 

2. A justification and statement of 

need; description and graphics of the 

proposed survey area polygon(s) 

including relevance to the strategic 

areas of focus noted in Section III and 

degree of flexibility on timing of survey 

effort (4 pages maximum). 

3. A project budget that lists the 

source(s) and amount(s) of funding that 

the partner would provide as its 50% 

contribution to NOAA. Budget must 

confirm that partner funds can be 

transferred to NOAA by October 31, 

2021 (1 page maximum). 

Proposals must use 12-point, Times 

New Roman font, single spacing, and 1- 

inch margins. Failure to adhere to these 

requirements will result in the proposal 

being returned without review and 

eliminated from further consideration. 

Coast Survey welcomes the submission 

of GIS files of project areas noted in VIII 

B. as ancillary attachments to the 

proposal to facilitate review. These files 

will not count toward the 6-page 

proposal limit. The GIS files may arrive 

no later than March 5, 2021. 

IX. Review Process and Evaluation 

Criteria 

Proposals will be evaluated by the 

Coast Survey Hydrographic Surveying 

Matching Fund Program Management 

Team. Submissions will be ranked 

based on the following criteria=: 

A. Project justification (30 points)— 

This criterion ascertains whether there 

is intrinsic IOCM value in the proposed 

work and/or relevance to NOAA 

missions and priorities, including 

downstream partner proposals and uses. 

Use of, and reference to, NOMEC, 

ACMS and the Coast Survey Ocean 

Mapping Plan (all available at https://

iocm.noaa.gov/about/strategicplans.html); gap assessment tools such 

as the U.S. Bathymetric Gap Analysis 

(https://iocm.noaa.gov/seabed-2030- 

bathymetry.html); and the U.S. 

Interagency Elevation Inventory (https:// 

catalog.data.gov/dataset/united-statesinteragency-elevation-inventory-usiei), 

among others, are recommended. Coast 

Survey’s Hydrographic Health Model 

showing priority survey areas for 

navigation safety is available upon 

request. The U.S. Federal Mapping 

Coordination site shows current Coast 

Survey mapping plans 

(fedmap.seasketch.org); email 

iwgocm.staff@noaa.gov for assistance 

with the layers on this site if needed. 

B. Statement of need (10 points)— 

This criterion assesses clarity of project 

need, partner proposal alternatives if 

not selected, anticipated outcomes and 

public benefit. 

C. Specified partner match (20 

points)—The proposal identifies a point 

of contact for the entity submitting the 

proposal, as well as any partnering 

entities, a clear statement on partner 

matching funds provenance (e.g., state 

appropriations, NGO funds, or other 

sources), and timing of funds 

availability. In-kind contributions are 

welcome to strengthen the proposal, but 

do not count toward the funding match. 

D. Project costs (15 points)—This 

criterion evaluates whether the 

proposed budget is realistic and 

commensurate with the proposed 

project needs and timeframe. If needed, 

please contact iwgocm.staff@noaa.gov 

for a rough estimate of cost per square 

nautical mile for surveys in a particular 

region; this figure will not be exact, as 

actual cost will be negotiated by region 

and scale of project. 

E. Project feasibility and flexibility (25 

points)—This criterion assesses the 

likelihood that the proposal would 

succeed based on survey conditions at 

the proposed time of year, such as 

project size, location, weather, NOAA 

analysis of environmental compliance 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
2390 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 12, 2021 / Notices 

implications, project flexibility and 

adaptability to existing Coast Survey 

plans and schedules, and other factors. 

During the proposal review period, 

Coast Survey reserves the right to 

engage with proposal points of contact 

to ask questions and provide feedback 

on project costs and feasibility. 

X. Management and Oversight 

Once selections are made, Coast 

Survey will coordinate the development 

of the memoranda of agreement, funding 

transfers, project planning, 

environmental compliance, acquisition 

awards and quality assurance process. 

Coast Survey may bring in additional 

partners and/or funding (federal and/or 

non-Federal) to expand a project further 

if feasible and agreed to by all partners. 

Projects will be reviewed by Coast 

Survey on an annual basis to ensure 

they are responsive to partner interests 

and NOAA mission requirements, and 

to identify opportunities for outreach 

and education on the societal benefits of 

the work.
