Coast Guard 

[Docket No. USCG–2009–0166] 

Nationwide Use of High Frequency and 

Ultra High Frequency Active SONAR 

Technology; Draft Programmatic 

Environmental Assessment and Draft 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of availability and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) 

announces the availability of the Draft 

Programmatic Environmental 

Assessment (PEA) for the Nationwide 

Use of High Frequency (HF) and Ultra 

High Frequency (UHF) Sound 

Navigation and Ranging (SONAR) 

Technology and Draft Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI). The USCG 

is proposing the nationwide use of 

active SONAR technologies that operate 

at frequencies of 50 kiloHertz (kHz) and 

greater from mobile platforms. Active 

SONAR technology would be used in 

support of USCG missions to locate, 

image, and classify submerged/ 

underwater targets of interest (TOI). The 

PEA is a program-level document that 

will provide the USCG with 

management-level analysis of the 

potential impacts of each alternative on 

the human and natural environments. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must either be submitted to our online 

docket via http://www.regulations.gov 

on or before January 31, 2011, or reach 

the Docket Management Facility by that 

date.
