9. Figure 1 summarizes the total 

reported costs incurred by Interior, 

Agriculture, and Commerce with respect 

to their participation in administering 

Part I of the FPA. Additionally, Figure 

1 summarizes the reported costs that the 

Commission determined were clearly 

documented and accepted for inclusion 

in its FY 2018 administrative annual 

charges. 

Summary Findings of Commission’s 

Costs Review 

10. As presented in Figure 1, the 

Commission determined that $6,602,429 

of the $6,643,007 in total reported costs 

were reasonable and clearly 

documented in the OFAs’ 

accompanying reports and/or analyses. 

Based on this finding, 1% of the total 

reported cost was determined to be 

unreasonable. The Commission noted 

the most significant issue with the 

documentation provided by the OFAs 

was the lack of supporting 

documentation to substantiate costs 

reported on the ‘‘Other Federal Agency 

Cost Submission Form.’’ 

11. The cost reports that the 

Commission determined were clearly 

documented and supported could be 

traced to detailed cost-accounting 

reports, which reconciled to data 

provided from agency financial systems 

or other pertinent source 

documentation. A further breakdown of 

these costs is included in the Appendix 

to this notice, along with an explanation 

of how the Commission determined 

their reasonableness.

Notice of Availability of the Deepwater 

Horizon Oil Spill Louisiana Trustee 

Implementation Group Final 

Restoration Plan/Environmental 

Assessment #4: Nutrient Reduction 

(Nonpoint Source) and Recreational 

Opportunities and Finding of No 

Significant Impact 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Oil 

Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) and the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), the Federal and State natural 

resource trustee agencies for the 

Louisiana Trustee Implementation 

Group (Louisiana TIG) have prepared 

the Final Restoration Plan and 

Environmental Assessment #4: Nutrient 

Reduction (Nonpoint Source) and 

Recreational Opportunities (Final RP/ 

EA #4). The Final RP/EA #4 describes 

and, in conjunction with the associated 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI), selects twenty-three preferred 

project alternatives considered by the 

Louisiana TIG to improve water quality 

by reducing nutrients from nonpoint 

sources and to compensate for 

recreational use services lost as a result 

of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The 

Louisiana TIG evaluated alternatives 

under criteria set forth in the OPA 

natural resource damage assessment 

(NRDA) regulations, and evaluated the 

environmental consequences of the 

restoration alternatives in accordance 

with NEPA. The selected projects are 

consistent with the restoration 

alternatives selected in the Deepwater 

Horizon oil spill Final Programmatic 

Damage Assessment and Restoration 

Plan/Programmatic Environmental 

Impact Statement (PDARP/PEIS). The 

Federal Trustees of the Louisiana TIG 

have determined that implementation of 

the Final RP/EA #4 is not a major 

federal action significantly affecting the 

quality of the human environment 

within the context of NEPA. They have 

concluded a FONSI is appropriate, and, 

therefore, an Environmental Impact 

Statement will not be prepared. The 

purpose of this notice is to inform the 

public of the approval and availability 

of the Final RP/EA #4 and FONSI. 

ADDRESSES: Obtaining Documents: You 

may download the Final RP/EA #4 and 

FONSI at any of the following sites: 

• http://www.gulfspillrestoration.

noaa.gov 

• http://www.la-dwh.com 

Alternatively, you may request a CD 

of the Final RP/EA #4 and FONSI (see 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). You 

may also view the document at any of 

the public facilities listed at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

On April 20, 2010, the mobile 

offshore drilling unit Deepwater 

Horizon, which was being used to drill 

a well for BP Exploration and 

Production, Inc. (BP), in the Macondo 

prospect (Mississippi Canyon 252– 

MC252), experienced a significant 

explosion, fire, and subsequent sinking 

in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in an 

unprecedented volume of oil and other 

discharges from the rig and from the 

wellhead on the seabed. The Deepwater 

Horizon oil spill is the largest off shore 

oil spill in U.S. history, discharging 

millions of barrels of oil over a period 

of 87 days. 

The Trustees conducted the natural 

resource damage assessment for the 

Deepwater Horizon oil spill under the 

Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 

2701 et seq.). Under OPA, Federal and 

State agencies act as trustees on behalf 

of the public to assess natural resource 

injuries and losses and to determine the 

actions required to compensate the 

public for those injuries and losses. 

OPA further instructs the designated 

trustees to develop and implement a 

plan for the restoration, rehabilitation, 

replacement, or acquisition of the 

equivalent of the injured natural 

resources under their trusteeship, 

including the loss of use and services 

from those resources from the time of 

injury until the time restoration to 

baseline (the resource quality and 

conditions that would exist if the spill 

had not occurred) is complete. 

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill 

Trustees are:

Agency (EPA); 

• U.S. Department of the Interior
