In accordance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Deepwater Horizon Federal and State natural resource trustee agencies for the Mississippi Trustee Implementation Group (MS TIG) have prepared a final Mississippi Trustee Implementation Group 2016-2017 Restoration Plan/Environmental Assessment (RP/EA). The RP/EA describes the restoration project alternatives considered by the MS TIG to restore and conserve habitat, replenish and protect living coastal and marine resources, and restore water quality. The MS TIG evaluated these alternatives under criteria set forth in the OPA natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) regulations, and also evaluated the environmental consequences of the restoration alternatives in accordance with NEPA. The Federal Trustees of the MS TIG have determined that implementation of the MS TIG 2016- 2017 RP/EA is not a major Federal Action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment within the context of NEPA and, therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. The MS TIG has selected three restoration projects in the RP/EA for implementation in the Mississippi Restoration Area, which are consistent with the Trustees' programmatic alternatives in the Programmatic Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan and Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PDARP/PEIS).

Assessment (RP/EA). The RP/EA describes the restoration project 
alternatives considered by the MS TIG to restore and conserve habitat, 
replenish and protect living coastal and marine resources, and restore 
water quality. The MS TIG evaluated these alternatives under criteria 
set forth in the OPA natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) 
regulations, and also evaluated the environmental consequences of the 
restoration alternatives in accordance with NEPA. The Federal Trustees 
of the MS TIG have determined that implementation of the MS TIG 2016-
2017 RP/EA is not a major Federal Action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment within the context of NEPA and, 
therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. The 
MS TIG has selected three restoration projects in the RP/EA for

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), exploded, caught fire and subsequently sank 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 
Deepwater Horizon oil spill is the largest maritime oil spill in United 
States (U.S.) history, discharging millions of barrels of oil over a 
period of 87 days. In addition, well over one 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 also 
was released to the environment as a result of the spill.
    The Deepwater Horizon State and Federal natural resource trustees 
(DWH Trustees) conducted NRDA for the Deepwater Horizon 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. 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, including the loss of use and services from those 
resources from the time of injury until the time of restoration to 
baseline (the resource quality and conditions that would exist if the 
spill had not occurred) is complete.
    The DWH Trustees are:

    This restoration planning activity is proceeding in accordance with 
the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: Final PDARP/PEIS. Information on the 
Restoration Types: Wetlands, Coastal and Nearshore Habitats, Birds, and 
Nutrient Reduction (Nonpoint Source), as well as the OPA criteria 
against which project ideas are being evaluated, can be viewed in the 
PDARP/PEIS (http://www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov/restoration-planning/gulf-plan), and in the Overview of the PDARP/PEIS (http://www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov/restoration-planning/gulf-plan).

Background

    On May 27, 2016, the MS TIG published a notice to invite public 
input regarding natural resource restoration opportunities in the 
Mississippi Restoration Area for the 2016-2017 planning years. The 
notice indicated a focus on the following range of potential 
restoration types that may have benefits to living coastal and marine 
resources: Restoration of Wetlands, Coastal and Nearshore Habitats, 
restoration of water quality through Nutrient Reduction (Nonpoint 
source); restoration of Birds, and restoration of Oysters. Because 
there are several ongoing or completed projects benefitting oysters and 
secondary productivity in the Mississippi Restoration Area, the MS TIG 
chose not to prioritize the oyster restoration type in this RP/EA.
    On October 31, 2016, the MS TIG published a Notice of Initiation 
for Restoration Plan Drafting in Mississippi, indicating its intent to 
focus on the following Restoration Types:
     Wetlands, Coastal and Nearshore Habitats;
     Nutrient Reduction (nonpoint source); and
     Birds.

[[Page 31941]]

    A Notice of Availability of the Draft RP/EA was published in the 
Federal Register on December 27, 2016 (81 FR 95106-95107). The Draft 
RP/EA provided the MS TIG's analysis of alternatives that were 
considered to meet the intended Restoration Types under both OPA and 
NEPA, and identified three projects that were proposed for 
implementation. The MS TIG provided the public with a 45-day comment 
period that ended February 10, 2017, and hosted a Web-based comment 
submission site to encourage the public to review and comment. The MS 
TIG also provided a post office box and email address as other means 
for the public to provide comments.
    Comments were received from private citizens, State, and local 
agencies, and non-governmental organizations. The MS TIG considered the 
public comments received, which informed the MS TIG's analysis of 
alternatives in the Final RP/EA. A summary of the public comments 
received and the MS TIG's responses to those comments are addressed in 
Section 6 of the Final RP/EA.

Overview of the RP/EA

    The RP/EA is being released in accordance with OPA, NRDA 
regulations found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 15 CFR 
part 990, and NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
    In the RP/EA, the MS TIG proposes implementation of the following 
two preferred alternatives and associated projects within the Wetlands, 
Coastal and Nearshore Habitat and Birds Restoration Types: (1) 
Graveline Bay Land Acquisition and Management, and (2) Grand Bay Land 
Acquisition and Habitat Management. The MS TIG also proposes the 
following preferred alternative and associated project within the 
Nutrient Reduction (Nonpoint Source) Restoration Type: Upper Pascagoula 
River Water Quality Enhancement. The RP/EA presents six restoration 
alternatives, as well as a no action alternative, evaluated in 
accordance with OPA and NEPA. The alternatives considered in RP/EA 
are--
     Restoration Goals.--Restore and Conserve Habitat; and 
Replenish and Protect Living Coastal and Marine Resources.

[cir] Alternative A (Preferred): Graveline Bay Land Acquisition and 
Management
[cir] Alternative B: Grand Bay Land Acquisition (up to 8,000 acres)
[cir] Alternative C: Grand Bay Habitat Management (up to 17,500 acres)
[cir] Alternative D (Preferred): Grand Bay Land Acquisition (up to 
8,000 acres) and Habitat Management (up to 17,500 acres); Alternatives 
B and C combined
[cir] No Action Alternative

     Restoration Goal.--Restore Water Quality.

[cir] Alternative A (Preferred): Upper Pascagoula River Water Quality 
Enhancement
[cir] Alternative B: Pascagoula River Basin Riparian Buffer Maintenance 
Plan
[cir] No Action Alternative

    The MS TIG has determined that the selected restoration 
alternatives and associated projects preferred for implementation are 
appropriate to partially compensate for the injuries for these 
restoration types described in PDARP/PEIS. In the RP/EA, the MS TIG 
presents to the public its plan for providing partial compensation to 
the public for natural resources and ecological services injured or 
lost in Mississippi as a result of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The 
preferred alternatives and associated projects in the RP/EA are most 
appropriate for addressing injuries to wetlands, coastal and nearshore 
habitats, birds, and water quality in Mississippi at this time. 
Additional restoration planning for Mississippi will continue at a 
later time.
