SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed action is the Navy’s 

employment of up to four SURTASS 

LFA sonar systems in the oceanic areas 

of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian 

oceans, and the Mediterranean Sea. The 

purposes of this supplemental analysis 

are to respond to deficiencies noted by 

the U.S. District Court of the Northern 

District of California’s August 2003 

Opinion and Order; include analysis of 

potential system upgrades; provide 

necessary information for compliance 

under the Marine Mammal Protection 

Act as amended; and provide additional 

information and analyses pertinent to 

the proposed action. 

The Draft SEIS provides an analysis of 

the proposed alternatives for the 

employment of SURTASS LFA sonar. In 

addition to the No Action alternative, 

four alternatives were analyzed to 

satisfy the Court’s findings and to 

determine the potential effects of 

changes to the proposed action. These 

alternatives include coastline standoff 

restrictions of 22 and 46 kilometers (12 

and 25 nautical miles), seasonal 

variations, and additional offshore 

biologically important areas. 

The Draft SEIS has been distributed to 

various Federal, state, and local 

agencies, as well as other interested
