Description:This supplemental Programmatic Environmental Assessment (S-PEA) is being prepared using the 1978 CEQ NEPA Regulations. NEPA reviews initiated prior to the effective date of the 2020 CEQ regulations may be conducted using the 1978 version of the regulations. The effective date of the 2020 CEQ NEPA Regulations was September 14, 2020. This review began June of 2017 and the agency has decided to proceed under the 1978 regulations.
This S-PEA is for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Fisheries Service, Southeast Regional Office and Southeast Fisheries Science Center, Federal Assistance and Special Permits. It supplements the existing Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) issued in January 2011 to streamline compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for NOAA grants and special permits processed by the NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office (SERO) and Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) (hereinafter referred to as the “PEA” and set forth in Appendix A).1 Together these programmatic environmental assessment documents set forth the current process for streamlining NEPA compliance for certain grant and special permit2 authorization decisions that meet the criteria for one of NOAA’s existing categorical exclusions (CEs) (Appendix B) for SERO and SEFSC.
