ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

315 of the Coastal Zone Management 

Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 

1451–1466), the State of Hawai‘i and the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) intend to 

conduct two public scoping meetings on 

December 17, 2014, in Kane‘ohe, 

Hawai‘i, and on December 19, 2014, in 

Honolulu, Hawai‘i, as part of NOAA’s 

draft environmental impact statement 

(DEIS) and draft management plan 

(DMP) process to solicit comments for 

the preparation of a DEIS and DMP on 

the Proposed He’eia National Estuarine 

Research Reserve in Kane’ohe Bay. 

DATES: December 17, 2014, at 5:00–7:00

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

decision to be made by NOAA is 

whether to designate the proposed 

He‘eia National Estuarine Research 

Reserve. The State of Hawai‘i, through 

its Office of Planning, site partners and 

NOAA are working to determine the 

boundaries of the reserve, how the 

reserve would be managed, and the 

policies of the proposed reserve. These 

decisions will be made through an 

analysis process and described in the 

reserve management plan. 

Found within the largest sheltered 

bay in the Hawaiian Islands, the He‘eia 

estuary constitutes a range of diverse 

habitats, including uplands, wetland, 

and fringing coral reefs, and is 

representative of the estuarine habitats 

in the Insular biogeographic region. In 

addition, the site hosts numerous 

traditional Hawaiian practices, 

including an ancient Hawaiian fish 

pond and taro cultivation. The 

combination of unique traditional 

Hawaiian land uses and natural habitats 

is expected to attract a broad range of 

research interests from multiple 

scientific disciplines. In July 2012, the 

Governor of Hawai‘i sent NOAA a letter 

of interest in exploring the feasibility of 

designating a reserve within the 

Hawaiian Islands based on ongoing 

conversations with community groups 

and the University of Hawai‘i. In 

February 2013, the State of Hawai‘i 

undertook a site selection process to 

determine appropriate areas of the 

Hawaiian Islands that might be 

nominated for inclusion in the reserve 

System. Hawai‘i, working with 

scientists, community organizations, 

and the public, gathered input and 

suggestions to inform the selection of a 

potential site for consideration as a 

national estuarine research reserve. 

On May 21, 2014, the Governor of the 

State of Hawai‘i nominated the He‘eia 

estuary for consideration as a Hawai‘i 

reserve. On October 27, 2014, NOAA 

accepted the site nomination document 

for the proposed He‘eia reserve and 

initiated planning efforts with the 

Hawai‘i Office of Planning HIMB. 

The He‘eia reserve is proposed to be 

administered by the State of Hawaii in 

cooperation with the Hawaii Office of 

Planning, the Hawai‘i Department of 

Land and Natural Resources, the 

University of Hawai‘i, Hawai‘i 

Community Development Authority, 

and community organizations Kako‘o 

‘O ̄ iwi, Paepae o He‘eia, Ko‘olaupoko 

Hawaiian Civic Club, Kamaaina Kids, 

and The Nature Conservancy, with 

support from other state and county 

agencies and community members. The 

Hawai‘i Office of Planning, in 

collaboration with those partners, is 

jointly developing an outline of a 

preliminary DMP. The outline is 

intended to identify specific needs and 

priorities related to research, education, 

and stewardship. At the public 

meetings, the Hawai‘i Office of Planning 

and NOAA will provide a synopsis of 

the process for developing a DEIS and 

DMP and will solicit comments on the 

scope and the significant issues to be 

analyzed in a DEIS. 

Interested parties who wish to submit 

suggestions or comments about the 

scope or content of the proposed DEIS 

and DMP are invited to attend the above 

meetings or provide comments to the 

Hawai‘i Office of Planning or NOAA’s 

Office for Coastal Management. 

Comments can be submitted to 

Hawaii.nerr.comments@noaa.gov or 

U.S. mail at the addresses listed below.
