This book was released on 2012 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This document presents the programmatic environmental assessment (PEA) of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) Final Management Plan. It is a useful tool to understand the environmental consequences of the broad range of activities in the management plan and provides the general analyses that informed the decision of approving the plan. It also establishes that as individual actions become ripe for decision, alternatives will be evaluated under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to meet the broader goals outlined in this final management plan. The PEA was released to the public on October 22, 2010 for a 90-day public review and two public hearings were held. Chapter 4 in the final management plan documents the public comments received and the responses to those comments. In view of the information presented in this analysis, it has been determined that the action will not significantly impact the quality of the human environment, as defined by NEPA. Accordingly, preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required for this action"--Page 1.

Book excerpt: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA, 16 U.S.C. 1434), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that considers alternatives for the proposed expansion of boundaries at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS). The proposed action serves NOAA's mission to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources, and furthers the FGBNMS mission to "identify, protect, conserve, and enhance the natural and cultural resources, values, and qualities of FGBNMS and its regional environment for this and future generations." ONMS has developed various boundary expansion alternatives, and the DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of the alternatives under NEPA, applying criteria and evaluation standards under the regulations implementing NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § Parts 1500-1508) and the NOAA implementing procedures for NEPA (NOAA's Administrative Order 216-6). The DEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting (i) present and potential uses of the areas considered in the alternatives; (ii) commercial, governmental, or recreational resource uses in the areas that are subject to the primary jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior; and (iii) any past, present, or proposed future disposal or discharge of materials in the vicinity of the proposed sanctuary. NOAA's preferred alternative (Alternative 3) is the expansion of the existing boundaries from ~56 square miles to an area that encompasses ~383 square miles of waters in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, including additional important and sensitive marine habitat areas outside the current sanctuary boundary. No significant adverse impacts to resources and the human environment are expected under any alternative. Long-term beneficial impacts are anticipated if the proposed action is implemented. Although an environmental assessment would have sufficed to analyze the impacts of the proposed action under NEPA, a DEIS has been prepared to satisfy the procedural requirements of the NMSA.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a companion report to the Socioeconomic Impact Analysis of Boundary Expansion in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (Leeworthy et. al, 2016) and completes the description of the affected socioeconomic environment for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the Final EIS, analysis of regulations under Regulatory Impact Review (RIR), and Initial and Final Regulatory Flexibility Analyses (impacts on small entities, primarily small businesses). Study Area profiles provide the basis for further analyses to determine the dependencies of local communities and economies on the use of sanctuary resources. This helps assess the ability of residents of the Study Area to adapt to new policies or management strategies regarding the sanctuary, and how these would affect the residents’ level of use of the sanctuary resources. The geographic bounds of the Study Area are adjustable. The Study Area profile includes the county or counties where the majority of the socioeconomic impacts that occur are related to the use of sanctuary resources. For the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary and Boundary Expansion Area, there are eight counties that define the Study Area. This report provides information on the population, population density, and population growth of the study area as well as information on the demographics (gender, race/ethnicity, and age distributions) of the study area. Various economic factors, including per capita income, unemployment rates, poverty rates, income by place of work/residence, income by industry and employment by industry are also analyzed. All of this information is available on reliable existing sources and can be easily updated at any time.
