Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for Coastal and Social Resiliency 

Initiatives for Tottenville Shoreline, 

Staten Island, NY 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

EIS. 

SUMMARY: This provides notice that the 

State of New York, as the ‘‘Responsible 

Entity,’’ as that term is defined by 24 

CFR 58.2(a)(7)(i), intends to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

that will evaluate alternatives for 

increasing coastal and social resiliency 

along the Tottenville shoreline on the 

South Shore of Staten Island and help 

to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to 

the quality of the human environment 

(‘‘Proposed Actions’’). The State of New 

York is the Grantee of Community 

Development Block Grant Disaster 

Recovery (CDBG–DR) funds 

appropriated by the Disaster Relief 

Appropriations Act, 2013 (Pub. L. 113– 

2, approved January 29, 2013) related to 

disaster relief, long-term recovery, 

restoration of infrastructure and 

housing, and economic revitalization in 

the most impacted and distressed areas 

resulting from a major disaster declared 

pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act of 1974 (Stafford Act) in 

calendar years 2011, 2012, and 2013. 

The Governor’s Office of Storm 

Recovery (GOSR) implements the State’s 

obligations under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

through duly authorized Certifying 

Officers. GOSR was formed under the 

auspices of the New York State Homes 

and Community Renewal’s Housing 

Trust Fund Corporation (HTFC), a 

public benefit corporation and 

subsidiary of the New York State 

Housing Finance Agency. 

The EIS will satisfy the requirements 

of NEPA and the State Environmental 

Quality Review Act (SEQRA). This 

notice is in accordance with the Council 

on Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations at 40 CFR parts 1500–1508 

and HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58. 

Following a public scoping process, a 

Draft EIS will be prepared for the 

proposed actions described herein. 

Comments relating to the Draft Scope of 

Work for the EIS are requested and will 

be accepted by the contact person listed 

below. When the Draft EIS is completed, 

a notice will be sent to appropriate 

government agencies, individuals and 

groups known to have an interest in the 

Draft EIS and particularly in the 

environmental impact issues identified 

therein. Any person or agency interested 

in receiving notice and commenting on 

the Draft Scope of Work or Draft EIS 

should contact the person listed below 

no later than May 15, 2015. HUD has 

provided for assumption of its NEPA 

authority and responsibilities to New 

York State, as Responsible Entity, for 

the purposes of administering the 

Community Development Block Grant 

Disaster Recovery Program in New York 

State. 

Comments: Comments relating to the 

Draft Scope of Work for the EIS are 

requested and will be accepted by the 

contact person listed below until May 

15, 2015. Comments will also be 

accepted at the scoping meeting 

described below on April 30, 2015. All 

interested agencies, tribes, groups, and 

persons are invited to submit written 

comments on the projects named in this 

notice and on the Draft Scope of Work 

for the EIS to the contact person listed 

below. All comments received before 

May 15, 2015 will be considered prior 

to the preparation and distribution of 

the Draft EIS. Commenters are asked to 

submit any information-related reports 

or other environmental studies planned 

or completed in the project area, major 

issues that the EIS should consider, 

recommended mitigation measures, and 

alternatives associated with the 

Proposed Actions. Federal, State and 

City agencies having jurisdiction by law, 

special expertise, or other special 

interest should report their interest and 

indicate their readiness to aid in the EIS 

effort as a ‘‘Cooperating Agency.’’ The 

following federal agencies have thus far 

expressed roles as cooperating agencies 

under NEPA: The United States Army 

Corps of Engineers (USACE), the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NOAA–NMFS), and 

the United States Environmental 

Protection Agency (USEPA).
