underwater cultural resources. This area 

would include up to 1,786 square miles 

of lake waters and bottomlands adjacent 

to Jefferson, Wayne, Oswego, Cayuga, 

and St. Lawrence counties in the state 

of New York. The proposed area 

contains 64 known shipwrecks and one 

aircraft representing events spanning 

more than 200 years of our nation’s 

history. Based on historical records, an 

additional 20 shipwrecks and three 

aircraft may be located there. NOAA 

proposes to designate the area as a 

national marine sanctuary to protect 

these significant underwater cultural 

resources through a regulatory and nonregulatory framework; document, 

further locate, and monitor these 

resources; provide interpretation of their 

cultural, historical, and educational 

value to the public; promote responsible 

use of these resources for their 

recreational value; and promote 

recreation, tourism, and economic 

development opportunities in the 

region. NOAA would co-manage the 

sanctuary with the state of New York. 

On January 17, 2017, pursuant to 

section 304 of the NMSA and the 

sanctuary nomination process (79 FR 

33851), leaders of four counties 

(Oswego, Jefferson, Cayuga, and Wayne) 

and the City of Oswego, with support 

from Governor Andrew Cuomo, 

submitted a nomination asking NOAA 

to consider designating a national 

marine sanctuary in eastern Lake 

Ontario waters to protect, and increase 

awareness of, a nationally significant 

collection of shipwrecks. NOAA 

accepted the nomination March 21, 

2017 and initiated the sanctuary 

designation process by issuing a Notice 

of Intent on April 17, 2019 to conduct 

scoping and prepare a DEIS (84 FR 

16004). Scoping included a 105-day 

public period during which NOAA 

solicited public comments related to the 

scale and scope of the proposed 

sanctuary. In addition, NOAA hosted 

four public meetings in June 2019 and 

accepted comments through a webbased portal and by traditional mail 

until July 31, 2019. During the scoping 

period, 82 individuals provided written 

input. About 165 people attended the 

four scoping meetings, with 28 people 

providing oral comments. In February 

2020, NOAA established a Sanctuary 

Advisory Council to bring members of 

the local community together to provide 

advice to NOAA and serve as a liaison 

with the nominating community 

throughout the designation process. 

II. NOAA’s Proposed Action 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and the NMSA (16 

U.S.C. 1434), NOAA has prepared a 

DEIS that considers three alternatives 

for the proposed national marine 

sanctuary. This DEIS analyzes and 

summarizes the environmental 

consequences of the proposed action 

and alternatives. The alternatives 

include proposed sanctuary boundaries, 

proposed regulatory concepts, and a 

draft sanctuary management plan to 

support the management and protection 

of sanctuary resources. NOAA has not 

selected a preferred alternative. In 

accordance with section 304(a) of the 

NMSA, the DEIS also serves as a 

resource assessment that documents 

present and potential uses of the area. 

The draft management plan outlines a 

series of goals and strategies in the areas 

of research and monitoring, education 

and outreach, tourism and economic 

development, sanctuary resource 

protection, and sanctuary operations. 

NOAA is seeking public comment on 

the DEIS and draft management plan, 

which are available at https://

sanctuaries.noaa.gov/lake-ontario or 

may be obtained by contacting the 

individual listed under the heading FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. While 

members of the public can comment on 

any aspect of the DEIS and draft 

management plan, NOAA requests 

specific comment on: Whether NOAA 

should move forward with the No 

Action Alternative, Alternative 1, or 

Alternative 2 for the rest of the 

designation process; the regulatory 

concepts NOAA proposes to use to 

create regulations for the sanctuary in 

the next phase of the process; the 

proposed goals, strategies, and activities 

for managing the sanctuary that are 

outlined in the draft management plan; 

and ideas for a sanctuary name that 

reflects the special significance of the 

area. 

In addition, as part of its compliance 

with Section 106 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 

470f), and its implementing regulations 

(36 CFR 800), NOAA is seeking public 

comment under 800.14(b)(2)(ii) of the 

National Historic Preservation Act to 

inform its development of a 

Programmatic Agreement with the state 

of New York to provide a process for 

consideration of future undertakings 

that may result from management of the 

proposed sanctuary, associated field 

operations, and other routine activities, 

if the sanctuary is designated. Following 

public comment on the DEIS and draft 

management plan, NOAA will prepare 

and release for public comment draft 

regulations for the proposed sanctuary. 

At that time, a detailed discussion of the 

regulatory text will be included in the 

notice of proposed rulemaking and 

published in the Federal Register for 

public comment. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Service Academy Gender 

Relations Survey; OMB Control Number 

0704–SAGR. 

Needs and Uses: The legal 

requirements for the Service Academy 

Gender Relations (SAGR) surveys can be 

found in the following: 

• 10 U.S.C. 4361, as amended by John 

Warner National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2007, Sec. 532. 

• 10 U.S.C. 481. 

• Department of Defense Instruction 

(DoDI) 6495.02 and 6495.03. 

These legal requirements mandate 

that the SAGR solicit information 

relating to sexual assault, sexual 

harassment, and gender discrimination 

in the MSAs, as well as the climate at 

the MSAs and social perspectives. 

MSAs include the U.S. Military 

Academy (USMA), the U.S. Naval 

Academy (USNA), and U.S. Air Force 

Academy (USAFA). The requirements 

state that the assessment cycle consists 

of surveys and focus groups during 

alternate years. They also give the 

Department authority to conduct such 

surveys under the guidance of the 

Under Secretary of Defense for 

Personnel and Readiness (USD(P&R)). 

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy 

(USCGA), the only Federal Military 

Academy within the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS), is not 

required to participate in the 

assessments codified by U.S.C. Section 

10. However, USCGA officials requested 

the Coast Guard be included, beginning 

in 2008, in order to evaluate and 

improve their programs addressing 

sexual assault and sexual harassment. 

Similarly, the U.S. Merchant Marine 

Academy (USMMA), under the 

Department of Transportation (DOT), 

requested their inclusion beginning in 

2012. USCGA and USMMA will 

continue to participate in the 

assessments. Surveys of USCGA and 

USMMA are not covered under this DoD 

licensure and will not be mentioned 

further. The Office of People Analytics 

(OPA) administers both web-based and 

paper-and-pen surveys to support the 

personnel information needs of the 

USD(P&R). The SAGR survey expands a 

series of surveys that began in 2004 with 

the DoD Inspector General’s first survey, 

subsequently transferred to OPA. OPA 

conducted the SAGR survey at the 

MSAs in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012,
