COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL 

QUALITY 

National Ocean Council; Strategic 

Action Plan Content Outlines 

AGENCY: Council on Environmental 

Quality. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability, Strategic 

Action Plan Content Outlines; Request 

for Comments. 

SUMMARY: On July 19, 2010, President 

Obama signed Executive Order 13547 

establishing a National Policy for the 

Stewardship of the Ocean, our Coasts, 

and the Great Lakes (‘‘National Ocean 

Policy’’). The National Ocean Policy 

provides an implementation strategy, 

which describes nine priority objectives 

that seek to address some of the most 

pressing challenges facing the ocean, 

our coasts, and the Great Lakes. The 

National Ocean Council is responsible 

for developing strategic action plans for 

each of the nine priority objectives. As 

a first step, Federal interagency writing 

teams have developed content outlines 

for each draft strategic action plan. The 

NOC is seeking public review and 

comment of these content outlines. 

The purpose of the draft content 

outlines (outlines) is to provide the 

public with an initial view of potential 

actions that could be taken to further the 

national priority objectives. As such, 

they are an interim step toward 

development of the first full draft of 

each strategic action plan. In developing 

the outlines, the writing teams were 

informed by the comments received 

during an initial public scoping period 

that closed on April 29. 

Each outline presents in bulleted form 

potential actions to further the 

particular priority objective. It describes 

the reasons for taking the action, 

expected outcomes and milestones, gaps 

and needs in science and technology, 

and the timeframe for completing the 

action. The outlines also provide an 

overview of the priority objective, 

greater context for the strategic action 

plan in implementing the National 

Ocean Policy, and an overview of the 

preparation of the plan . 

Public comments received on the 

outlines will be collated and posted on 

the NOC Web site. The comments on the 

outlines will inform the preparation of 

full draft strategic action plans, which 

will be released for public review in the 

fall of 2011, allowing additional 

opportunity for the public to provide 

comments. Final strategic action plans 

are expected to be completed by early 

2012. 

DATES: Comments should be submitted 

on or before July 2, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Content outlines can be 

downloaded here: http:// 

www.whitehouse.gov/administration/ 

eop/oceans. Comments should be 

submitted electronically at http:// 

www.WhiteHouse.gov/administration/ 

eop/oceans/comment or can be sent by 

mail to: National Ocean Council, 722 

Jackson Place, NW., Washington, DC 

20503. Comments and input may also be 

provided in person by participating in 

regional listening sessions that will be 

convened throughout the U.S. in the 

month of June. You can learn more

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

19, 2010, President Obama signed 

Executive Order 13547 establishing a 

National Policy for the Stewardship of 

the Ocean, our Coasts, and the Great 

Lakes (‘‘National Ocean Policy’’). That 

Executive Order adopts the Final 

Recommendations of the Interagency 

Ocean Policy Task Force and directs 

Federal agencies to take the appropriate 

steps to implement them. The Executive 

Order creates an interagency National 

Ocean Council (NOC) to strengthen 

ocean governance and coordination, 

identifies nine priority actions for the 

NOC to pursue, and adopts a flexible 

framework for effective coastal and 

marine spatial planning to address 

conservation, economic activity, user 

conflict, and sustainable use of the 

ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes. 

The National Ocean Policy provides a 

comprehensive approach, based on 

science and technology, to uphold our 

stewardship responsibilities and ensure 

accountability for our actions to present 

and future generations. The Obama 

Administration intends, through the 

National Ocean Policy, to provide a 

model of balanced, productive, efficient, 

sustainable, and informed ocean, 

coastal, and Great Lakes use, 

management, and conservation. The 

Final Recommendations provide an 

implementation strategy that describes a 

clear set of priority objectives that our 

Nation should pursue to further the 

National Policy. 

The nine priority objectives seek to 

address some of the most pressing 

challenges facing the ocean, our coasts, 

and the Great Lakes. The nine priority 

objectives are identified below. 

Additional information about each 

priority may be found at http://
