[Docket Number MARAD–2012–0015] 

Intent of Preparation of a 

Programmatic Environmental 

Assessment, To Open a Public 

Scoping Period, and To Conduct 

Public Scoping Meetings 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Maritime 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent of Preparation 

of a Programmatic Environmental 

Assessment, to Open a Public Scoping 

Period, and to Conduct Public Scoping 

Meetings. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Maritime Administration (MarAd), 

of the U.S. Department of 

Transportation (U.S. DOT), will prepare 

a Programmatic Environmental 

Assessment (PEA) in compliance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969 that will evaluate potential 

environmental effects associated with 

the performance of the America’s 

Marine Highway Program. The PEA will 

identify and assess potential 

environmental impacts from the 

proposed actions and a range of 

reasonable alternatives so MarAd can 

determine, what if any, additional 

analysis may be required including, 

whether to prepare environmental 

impact statement(s) (EIS) or issuing 

finding(s) of no significant impact 

(FONSI). MarAd is initiating a scoping 

process to identify community concerns 

and local issues that will be addressed 

in the PEA. MarAd plans to hold public 

scoping meetings regionally to obtain 

input from the public. The meetings 

will be conducted using an open house 

format with informational displays and 

materials available for public review. 

There will be no formal presentations. 

MarAd staff will be present at this open 

house to answer general questions on 

the proposed action and the PEA 

process. If at any point during the 

preparation of the PEA, MarAd 

determines that it is necessary to 

prepare an EIS, this scoping process will 

serve as the scoping process that would 

normally follow a Notice of Intent to 

prepare an EIS. 

Dates and Locations: The NEPA 

scoping period ends on April 16, 2012. 

Comments will only be accepted at the 

scoping meetings or on regulations.gov 

under the docket number 2012–0015. 

Comment forms will be provided at 

each public scoping meeting. Comments 

received at the meetings will be scanned 

and uploaded to the docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: On August 11, 2010, U.S. 

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood 

identified 18 marine corridors, 8 

projects, and 6 initiatives for further 

development as part of ‘‘America’s 

Marine Highway Program.’’ In addition, 

MarAd made available $7 million for 

which projects competed through a 

Notice of Funding Availability. 

The Marine Highway Program was 

fully implemented in April 2010 

through publication of a Final Rule in 

the Federal Register (http:// 

edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010- 

7899.pdf). The Secretary’s designations 

were made pursuant to the Final Rule, 

as required by the Energy Independence 

and Security Act of 2007. 

Marine Highway Corridors: These allwater routes consist of 11 Corridors, 4 

Connectors and 3 Crossings that can 

serve as extensions of the surface 

transportation system. These corridors 

identify routes where water 

transportation presents an opportunity 

to offer relief to landside corridors that 

suffer from traffic congestion, excessive 

air emissions or other environmental 

concerns and other challenges. 

Corridors are generally longer, multistate routes whereas Connectors 

represent shorter routes that serve as 

feeders to the larger Corridors. Crossings 

are short routes that transit harbors or 

waterways and offer alternatives to 

much longer or less convenient land 

routes between points. 

An information packet that explains 

more about the America’s Marine 

Highway Program; categories of actions 

that will be examined in the 

environmental analysis; describes the 

corridors that have already been 

designated; map of the corridors; 

projects that have already been 

approved; initiatives that have been 

approved; explanation of scoping and 

what MarAd is seeking the public 

assistance with; and procedures that 

will used at the public meetings, is 

available at www.amhpea.com.
