• Are the draft recovery criteria both 

objective and measurable given the 

information available for Pagosa 

skyrocket now and into the future? 

Please provide suggestions. 

• Understanding that specific, 

detailed, and area-specific recovery 

actions will be developed in the RIS, do 

you think that the draft recovery actions 

presented in the draft recovery plan 

generally cover the types of actions 

necessary to meet the recovery criteria? 

If not, what general actions are missing? 

Are any of the draft recovery actions 

unnecessary for achieving recovery? 

Have we prioritized the actions 

appropriately?

AGENCY: Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Oil 

Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA); the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA); the Final Programmatic 

Damage Assessment Restoration Plan 

and Final Programmatic Environmental 

Impact Statement (Final PDARP/PEIS) 

and Record of Decision; and the Consent 

Decree, the Federal and State natural 

resource trustee agencies for the Florida 

Trustee Implementation Group (FL TIG) 

have prepared the Florida Trustee 

Implementation Group Final 

Restoration Plan 2 and Environmental 

Assessment: Habitat Projects on 

Federally Managed Lands; Sea Turtles; 

Marine Mammals; Birds; and Provide 

and Enhance Recreational 

Opportunities (Final RP2/EA), and 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI). In the Final RP2/EA, the FL 

TIG analyzed projects to help restore 

injured habitats, sea turtles, marine 

mammals, and birds, and to compensate 

for lost recreational use in the Florida 

Restoration Area as a result of the 

Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill. The 

Final RP2/EA describes and, in 

conjunction with the associated FONSI, 

selects the preferred restoration projects 

considered by the FL TIG to partially 

restore natural resources and ecological 

services injured or lost as a result of the 

Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The 

approximate cost to implement the FL 

TIG’s proposed action is $62,000,000. 

The purpose of this notice is to inform 

the public of the availability of the Final 

RP2/EA and FONSI. 

ADDRESSES: Obtaining Documents: You 

may download the Final RP2/EA from 

either of the following websites:

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 DWH oil 

spill is the largest offshore oil spill in 

U.S. history, discharging millions of 

barrels of oil over a period of 87 days. 

In addition, well over 1 million gallons 

of dispersants were applied to the 

waters of the spill area in an attempt to 

disperse the spilled oil. An 

undetermined amount of natural gas 

was also released into the environment 

as a result of the spill. 

The Trustees conducted the natural 

resource damage assessment (NRDA) for 

the DWH oil spill under the Oil 

Pollution Act 1990 (OPA; 33 U.S.C. 

2701 et seq.). Pursuant to 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. The 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 to baseline (the resource 

quality and conditions that would exist 

if the spill had not occurred). This 

includes the loss of use and services 

provided by those resources from the 

time of injury until the completion of 

restoration. 

The DWH Trustees are: 

• U.S. Department of the Interior 

(DOI), as represented by the National 

Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, and Bureau of Land 

Management; 

• National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA), on behalf of 

the U.S. Department of Commerce; 

• U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA); 

• U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA); 

• State of Louisiana Coastal 

Protection and Restoration Authority, 

Oil Spill Coordinator’s Office, 

Department of Environmental Quality, 

Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, 

and Department of Natural Resources; 

• State of Mississippi Department of 

Environmental Quality; 

• State of Alabama Department of 

Conservation and Natural Resources and 

Geological Survey of Alabama; 

• State of Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection and Fish and 

Wildlife Conservation Commission; and 

• State of Texas: Texas Parks and 

Wildlife Department, Texas General 

Land Office, and Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality. 

On April 4, 2016, the United States 

District Court for the Eastern District of 

Louisiana entered a Consent Decree 

resolving civil claims by the Trustees 

against BP arising from the DWH oil 

spill: United States v. BPXP et al., Civ. 

No. 10–4536, centralized in MDL 2179,

In re: Oil Spill by the Oil Rig 

‘‘Deepwater Horizon’’ in the Gulf of 

Mexico, on April 20, 2010 (E.D. La.) 

(http://www.justice.gov/enrd/deepwaterhorizon). Pursuant to the Consent 

Decree, restoration projects in the 

Florida Restoration Area are chosen and 

managed by the FL TIG. The FL TIG is 

composed of the following Trustees: 

State of Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection and Fish and 

Wildlife Conservation Commission; 

DOI; NOAA; EPA; and USDA. 

Background 

On August 20, 2019, the FL TIG 

posted a public notice at http://

www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov 

requesting natural resource restoration 

project ideas by September 20, 2019, for 

the Florida Restoration Area. The notice 

stated that the FL TIG was seeking 

project ideas for the following 

restoration types: (1) Habitat Projects on 

Federally Managed Lands; (2) Sea 

Turtles; (3) Marine Mammals; (4) Birds; 

(5) Provide and Enhance Recreational 

Opportunities; and (6) Oysters. On July 

29, 2020, the FL TIG announced that it 

had initiated drafting of the Final RP2/ 

EA and that it would include a 

reasonable range of restoration 

alternatives (projects) for five restoration 

types. The FL TIG decided not to 

include Oysters Restoration Type 

projects in the Draft RP2/EA (see Final 

RP2/EA for further details). 

The FL TIG released the Draft RP2/EA 

on February 19, 2021, and its notice of 

availability was published in the 

Federal Register on February 25, 2021 

(86 FR 11551). The Draft RP2/EA 

provided the FL TIG’s analysis of 

alternatives that would meet the 

Trustees’ goals to restore and conserve 

habitat, replenish and protect living 

coastal and marine resources, and 

provide and enhance recreational 

opportunities under OPA and NEPA, 

and identified the alternatives that were 

proposed as preferred for 

implementation. The public review and 

comment period ran through March 29, 

2021. To facilitate public understanding 

of the document, the FL TIG held a 

public webinar on March 11, 2021, and 

accepted public comments during the 

webinar. The FL TIG considered the 

public comments received during the 

webinar, through direct submittals to its 

online public comment portal, and by 

USPS. A summary of comments and the 

FL TIG’s responses to those comments 

are provided in Chapter 5 of the Final 

RP2/EA. 

Overview of the FL TIG Final RP2/EA 

The Final RP2/EA provides the FL 

TIG’s analysis of the reasonable range of 

alternatives. The alternatives (projects) 

selected for implementation are 

presented in the following table under 

the restoration type from which funds 

would be allocated in accordance with 

the DWH Consent Decree. The FL TIG 

changed REC3, Engineering and Design 

for Pensacola Beach Park West Fishing 

Pier and Access Improvements, from a 

preferred to a non-preferred alternative 

after reviewing the public comments 

received on the project and undertaking 

additional project review and 

discussion with Escambia County. The 

total estimated cost for the eighteen 

selected projects is approximately 

$62,000,000.
