DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement/Supplemental Overseas 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Employment of Surveillance Towed 

Array Sensor System Low Frequency 

Active Sonar 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

Executive Order 12114, the Department 

of the Navy (DoN) is announcing its 

intent to prepare a Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)/ 

Supplemental Overseas Environmental 

Impact Statement (SOEIS) to analyze the 

potential impact of Surveillance Towed 

Array Sensor System Low Frequency 

Active (SURTASS LFA) sonar on the 

five bottlenose dolphin stocks 

comprising the Hawaiian Islands Stock 

Complex (Kauai/Niiahu, Oahu, 4-island, 

Hawaii Island, and Hawaii Pelagic). 

DATES: The Draft SEIS/SOEIS is 

expected to be available in early 

September 2014, at which time the 

public comment period will be open for 

45 days. The Final SEIS/SOEIS is 

expected to be completed by early 

February 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Chief of Naval Operations, Code 

N2N6F24, c/o SURTASS LFA Sonar 

SEIS/SOEIS Program Manager, 4100 

Fairfax Drive, Suite 730, Arlington, 

Virginia 22203; or email: eisteam@

surtass-lfa-eis.com. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Although 

the most recent Final SEIS/SOEIS for 

SURTASS LFA Sonar was completed in 

June 2012, during subsequent litigation 

(Natural Resources Defense Council, 

Inc. et al. v. Pritzker et al., No. 12–cv– 

05380–EDL [E.D. Cal. October 18, 

2012]), the court found that the SEIS/

SOEIS was deficient in one limited 

respect in that the DoN failed to use the 

best available data from the 2010 Pacific 

Stock Assessment Report to analyze the 

potential impact of SURTASS LFA 

sonar on the individual stocks within 

the Hawaiian Islands Stock Complex of 

common bottlenose dolphins and allow 

public comment on that analysis. The 

court upheld the current SEIS/SOEIS in 

all other respects. The SEIS/SOEIS 

proposed in this notice will be prepared 

for the limited purpose of addressing 

the single deficiency identified by the 

court. 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

will be a cooperating agency under 

NEPA regulation (40 CFR 1501.6) for the 

development of the SEIS/SOEIS. The 

SEIS/SOEIS will comply with both 

NEPA and Executive Order 12114 

(Environmental Effects Abroad of Major 

Federal Actions). 

Additional information concerning 

SURTASS LFA sonar and pertinent 

environmental documents are available

Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the Field-Initiated (FI) Projects program 

is to develop methods, procedures, and 

rehabilitation technology that maximize 

the full inclusion and integration into 

society, employment, independent 

living, family support, and economic 

and social self-sufficiency of individuals 

with disabilities, especially individuals 

with the most severe disabilities. 

Another purpose of the FI Projects 

program is to improve the effectiveness 

of services authorized under the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended 

(Act). 

The purpose of this competition is to 

improve the capacity of minority 

entities to conduct high-quality 

disability and rehabilitation research. 

NIDRR will accomplish this by limiting 

eligibility for this competition to 

minority entities and Indian tribes in a 

manner consistent with section 

21(b)(2)(A) of the Act, which authorizes 

NIDRR to make awards to minority 

entities and Indian tribes to carry out 

activities authorized under Title II of the 

Act. 

NIDRR makes two types of awards 

under the FI Projects program: research 

grants and development grants. The MSI 

FI Projects research grants will be 

awarded under CFDA 84.133G–4, and 

the development grants will be awarded 

under CFDA 84.133G–5. 

Note: Different selection criteria are used 

for FI Projects research grants and 

development grants. An applicant must 

clearly indicate in the application whether it 

is applying for a research grant (84.133G–4) 

or a development grant (84.133G–5) and must 

address the selection criteria relevant for its 

grant type. Without exception, NIDRR will 

review each application based on the grant 

designation made by the applicant. 

Applications will be determined ineligible 

and will not be reviewed if they do not 

include a clear designation as a research 

grant or a development grant. 

In carrying out a research activity 

under an FI Projects research grant, a 

grantee must identify one or more 

hypotheses or research questions and, 

based on the hypotheses or research 

questions identified, perform an 

intensive, systematic study directed 

toward producing (1) new or full 

scientific knowledge, or (2) better 

understanding of the subject, problem 

studied, or body of knowledge. 

In carrying out a development activity 

under an FI Projects development grant, 

a grantee must use knowledge and 

understanding gained from research to 

create materials, devices, systems, or 

methods beneficial to the target
