Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program: Public Hearing on
Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement
AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S.
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Public Hearing and Availability of Draft Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq., the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) has prepared and circulated a draft programmatic
environmental impact statement (PEIS). The draft PEIS was prepared to
assess the environmental impacts associated with the approval of state
and territory coastal nonpoint pollution control programs. This draft
PEIS will form the basis for the subsequent NEPA documents
(environmental impact statements or assessments) NOAA will prepare on
each of the 29 state and territory coastal nonpoint programs expected
to be submitted to NOAA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
for approval.
The requirements of 40 C.F.R. parts 1500-1508 [Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations to implement the National
Environmental Policy Act] apply to the preparation of the draft PEIS.
Specifically, 40 C.F.R. section 1506.6 requires agencies to provide
public notice of NEPA-related hearings and the availability of
environmental documents. This notice is part of NOAA's action to comply
with the public hearing requirement.
The PEIS was filed with EPA on July 7, 1995 and a notice of its
availability was published at 60 FR 36279 on July 14, 1995. NOAA will
hold a public hearing on this draft PEIS at NOAA Buildings SSMC 3, 1315
East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD, Room 4527, on August 11, 1995, at
9:00 a.m.
