(including both the U.S. Navy and the 

U.S. Marine Corps) in cooperation with 

the U.S. Coast Guard announces its 

intent to prepare a supplement to the 

2018 Atlantic Fleet Training and Testing 

(AFTT) Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS)/Overseas 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(OEIS). New information includes an 

updated acoustic effects analysis, 

updated marine mammal density data, 

and evolving and emergent best 

available science. Proposed activities 

and study area are consistent with those 

analyzed in the 2018 AFTT EIS/OEIS. 

DATES: The 30-day public scoping 

period begins on November 17, 2023 

and extends to December 16, 2023. 

Comments must be postmarked or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DoN’s 

lead action proponent is U.S. Fleet 

Forces Command. Additional Navy 

action proponents include the Office of 

Naval Research, Naval Sea Systems 

Command, Naval Air Systems 

Command, the U.S. Marine Corps, The 

U.S. Coast Guard, as a joint lead agency 

is also an action proponent (hereinafter 

collectively referred to as the ‘‘Action 

Proponents’’). 

The Action Proponents will assess the 

potential environmental effects 

associated with ongoing and future atsea military readiness activities 

conducted within the AFTT EIS/OEIS 

Study Area (hereafter known as the 

‘‘Study Area’’) beyond 2025. Military 

readiness activities include training and 

research, development, testing, and 

evaluation (hereafter known as 

‘‘testing’’). The Supplemental EIS/OEIS 

will include an analysis of training and 

testing activities using new information 

that became available after the release of 

the 2018 Final EIS/OEIS. New 

information includes an updated 

acoustic effects analysis, updated 

marine mammal density data, and 

evolving and emergent best available 

science. Proposed activities are 

consistent with those analyzed in the 

2018 Final EIS/OEIS and are 

representative of training and testing 

activities the Action Proponents have 

been conducting in the Study Area for 

decades. The Study Area remains 

consistent with the 2018 Final EIS/OEIS 

with the addition of some inland waters 

within the Gulf of Mexico coast. The 

Study Area is comprised of operating 

areas (sea space) and warning areas 

(airspace) located in the Atlantic Ocean 

along the eastern coast of North 

America, the Gulf of Mexico, and 

portions of the Caribbean Sea, at select 

Navy pierside locations, within port 

transit channels, and some inland 

waters. 

The purpose of the Proposed Action 

is to maintain a ready force, which is 

needed to ensure the peacetime 

promotion of the national security 

interests and prosperity of the United 

States and for prompt and sustained 

combat incident to operations at sea and 

to meet the needs of war, consistent 

with Title 10, section 8062, of the 

United States Code. 

The Proposed Action is to conduct atsea training and testing activities within 

the Study Area. Activities include the 

use of active sonar and explosives while 

employing marine species protective 

mitigation measures. The Proposed 

Action does not alter the original 

purpose and need as discussed in the 

2018 Final EIS/OEIS. 

Proposed training and testing 

activities are consistent with those 

analyzed in the 2018 Final EIS/OEIS. In 

the Supplemental EIS/OEIS, the DoN 

will analyze the proposed changes to 

the types and tempo of training and 

testing activities, accounting for the 

introduction of new technologies, the 

evolving nature of international events, 

advances in warfighting doctrine and 

procedures, and changes in the 

organization of vessels, aircraft, 

weapons systems, and personnel. In the 

AFTT Supplemental EIS/OEIS, the 

Action Proponents will reflect the 

compilation of training and testing 

activities required to fulfill the Action 

Proponent’s military readiness 

requirements beyond 2025, and 

therefore includes the analysis of newly 

proposed activities and changes to 

previously analyzed activities. 

The Supplemental EIS/OEIS will 

consider a No Action Alternative and 

two Action Alternatives that account for 

the types and tempo of training and 

testing activities that are necessary to 

meet future military readiness 

requirements (beginning in November 

2025). 

The Supplemental EIS will evaluate 

the expected social, economic and 

environmental effects resulting from 

implementing the action alternatives 

and the No Action Alternative. Resource 

areas that will be addressed include, but 

are not limited to: biological resources 

(including marine mammals and other 

protected species), sediments and water 

quality, air quality, noise, cultural 

resources, socioeconomic resources, and 

public health and safety. 

As part of this process, the Action 

Proponents will seek the issuance of 

Federal regulatory permits and 

authorizations under the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act and Endangered 

Species Act to support on-going and 

future at-sea military readiness activities 

within the Study Area beyond 2025. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 1501.8, the Navy 

invited the National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS) to be a cooperating 

agency in preparation of the 

Supplemental EIS/OEIS, in a letter 

dated August 18, 2022. NMFS has 

agreed to be a cooperating agency on the 

Supplemental EIS/OEIS to support and 

expedite the NEPA and consultation 

processes. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to the proposed action are 

addressed and all potential issues are 

identified, DoN invites comments and 

suggestions from all interested parties 

regarding potential alternatives, 

information, studies or analyses of any 

kind concerning impacts affecting the 

quality of the human environment 

relevant to the proposed action on 

behalf of all the Action Proponents. 

Comments may be submitted according 

to the instructions in the following 

Public Scoping Process section. 

The scoping process is used to 

identify the full range of issues 

including public concerns and local 

issues to be considered during the 

development of the Draft Supplemental 

EIS/OEIS. Federal agencies, State 

agencies, local agencies, the public, and 

interested persons are encouraged to 

provide substantive comments to the 

DoN on environmental resources and 

areas of concern that the commenter 

believes the DoN should consider. 

After the scoping period DoN will 

coordinate with participating and 

cooperating agencies to develop a Draft 

Supplemental EIS/OEIS. The Draft 

Supplemental EIS/OES is anticipated to 

be issued in the Fall of 2024. The Final 

Supplemental EIS/OEIS is anticipated to
