underwater cultural resources. This area
would include up to 1,786 square miles
of lake waters and bottomlands adjacent
to Jefferson, Wayne, Oswego, Cayuga,
and St. Lawrence counties in the state
of New York. The proposed area
contains 64 known shipwrecks and one
aircraft representing events spanning
more than 200 years of our nation’s
history. Based on historical records, an
additional 20 shipwrecks and three
aircraft may be located there. NOAA
proposes to designate the area as a
national marine sanctuary to protect
these significant underwater cultural
resources through a regulatory and non-
regulatory framework; document,
further locate, and monitor these
resources; provide interpretation of their
cultural, historical, and educational
value to the public; promote responsible
use of these resources for their
recreational value; and promote
recreation, tourism, and economic
development opportunities in the
region. NOAA would co-manage the
sanctuary with the state of New York.
On January 17, 2017, pursuant to
section 304 of the NMSA and the
sanctuary nomination process (79 FR
33851), leaders of four counties
(Oswego, Jefferson, Cayuga, and Wayne)
and the City of Oswego, with support
from Governor Andrew Cuomo,
submitted a nomination asking NOAA
to consider designating a national
marine sanctuary in eastern Lake
Ontario waters to protect, and increase
awareness of, a nationally significant
collection of shipwrecks. NOAA
accepted the nomination March 21,
2017 and initiated the sanctuary
designation process by issuing a Notice
of Intent on April 17, 2019 to conduct
scoping and prepare a DEIS (84 FR
16004). Scoping included a 105-day
public period during which NOAA
solicited public comments related to the
scale and scope of the proposed
sanctuary. In addition, NOAA hosted
four public meetings in June 2019 and
accepted comments through a web-
based portal and by traditional mail
until July 31, 2019. During the scoping
period, 82 individuals provided written
input. About 165 people attended the
four scoping meetings, with 28 people
providing oral comments. In February
2020, NOAA established a Sanctuary
Advisory Council to bring members of
the local community together to provide
advice to NOAA and serve as a liaison
with the nominating community
throughout the designation process.
II. NOAA’s Proposed Action
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and the NMSA (16
U.S.C. 1434), NOAA has prepared a
DEIS that considers three alternatives
for the proposed national marine
sanctuary. This DEIS analyzes and
summarizes the environmental
consequences of the proposed action
and alternatives. The alternatives
include proposed sanctuary boundaries,
proposed regulatory concepts, and a
draft sanctuary management plan to
support the management and protection
of sanctuary resources. NOAA has not
selected a preferred alternative. In
accordance with section 304(a) of the
NMSA, the DEIS also serves as a
resource assessment that documents
present and potential uses of the area.
The draft management plan outlines a
series of goals and strategies in the areas
of research and monitoring, education
and outreach, tourism and economic
development, sanctuary resource
protection, and sanctuary operations.
NOAA is seeking public comment on
the DEIS and draft management plan,
which are available at https://
sanctuaries.noaa.gov/lake-ontario or
may be obtained by contacting the
individual listed under the heading
FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
. While
members of the public can comment on
any aspect of the DEIS and draft
management plan, NOAA requests
specific comment on: Whether NOAA
should move forward with the No
Action Alternative, Alternative 1, or
Alternative 2 for the rest of the
designation process; the regulatory
concepts NOAA proposes to use to
create regulations for the sanctuary in
the next phase of the process; the
proposed goals, strategies, and activities
for managing the sanctuary that are
outlined in the draft management plan;
and ideas for a sanctuary name that
reflects the special significance of the
area.
In addition, as part of its compliance
with Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C.
470f), and its implementing regulations
(36 CFR 800), NOAA is seeking public
comment under 800.14(b)(2)(ii) of the
National Historic Preservation Act to
inform its development of a
Programmatic Agreement with the state
of New York to provide a process for
consideration of future undertakings
that may result from management of the
proposed sanctuary, associated field
operations, and other routine activities,
if the sanctuary is designated. Following
public comment on the DEIS and draft
management plan, NOAA will prepare
and release for public comment draft
regulations for the proposed sanctuary.
At that time, a detailed discussion of the
regulatory text will be included in the
notice of proposed rulemaking and
published in the Federal Register for
public comment.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Service Academy Gender
Relations Survey; OMB Control Number
0704–SAGR.
Needs and Uses: The legal
requirements for the Service Academy
Gender Relations (SAGR) surveys can be
found in the following:
•10 U.S.C. 4361, as amended by John
Warner National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2007, Sec. 532.
•10 U.S.C. 481.
•Department of Defense Instruction
(DoDI) 6495.02 and 6495.03.
These legal requirements mandate
that the SAGR solicit information
relating to sexual assault, sexual
harassment, and gender discrimination
in the MSAs, as well as the climate at
the MSAs and social perspectives.
MSAs include the U.S. Military
Academy (USMA), the U.S. Naval
Academy (USNA), and U.S. Air Force
Academy (USAFA). The requirements
state that the assessment cycle consists
of surveys and focus groups during
alternate years. They also give the
Department authority to conduct such
surveys under the guidance of the
Under Secretary of Defense for
Personnel and Readiness (USD(P&R)).
The U.S. Coast Guard Academy
(USCGA), the only Federal Military
Academy within the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), is not
required to participate in the
assessments codified by U.S.C. Section
10. However, USCGA officials requested
the Coast Guard be included, beginning
in 2008, in order to evaluate and
improve their programs addressing
sexual assault and sexual harassment.
Similarly, the U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy (USMMA), under the
Department of Transportation (DOT),
requested their inclusion beginning in
2012. USCGA and USMMA will
continue to participate in the
assessments. Surveys of USCGA and
USMMA are not covered under this DoD
licensure and will not be mentioned
further. The Office of People Analytics
(OPA) administers both web-based and
paper-and-pen surveys to support the
personnel information needs of the
USD(P&R). The SAGR survey expands a
series of surveys that began in 2004 with
the DoD Inspector General’s first survey,
subsequently transferred to OPA. OPA
conducted the SAGR survey at the
MSAs in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012,
