SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: In January
2018, OECA issued an Interim Guidance
document to help move the Agency
toward a more collaborative partnership
between the EPA and states. After more
than a year of implementing the Interim
Guidance, states and EPA regions
gained valuable experience in
enhancing planning and communication
on compliance work in Federal
environmental programs that states are
authorized, delegated, or approved to
implement. OECA incorporated this
experience in drafting a revised policy.

input on the revised policy through a
Federal Register notice (84 FR 20882,
May 13, 2019) for a thirty-day comment
period.
This final policy incorporates
additional feedback collected through
the public notice and sets out
expectations and procedures for
enhancing effective partnerships in civil
enforcement and compliance assurance
work between the EPA and authorized
states. Although this policy is focused
on the EPA’s work with states that are
approved to implement Federal
programs, the EPA will also strive to
follow these planning and
communication practices when working
with federally-recognized Indian tribes,
territories, and local governments that
have received approval to implement
Federal programs. This is an Agency
planning document and would not
impose any legally binding
requirements on the EPA or any outside
parties.

Notice of Availability of the Deepwater
Horizon Oil Spill Louisiana Trustee
Implementation Group Final
Supplemental Restoration Plan and
Environmental Assessment for the
Lake Charles Science Center and
Educational Complex Project
Modification and Finding of No
Significant Impact
AGENCY
: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION
: Notice of availability.
SUMMARY
: In accordance with the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) and the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), the Federal and State natural
resource trustee agencies for the
Louisiana Trustee Implementation
Group (Louisiana TIG) have prepared
the Final Supplemental Restoration Plan
and Environmental Assessment for the
Lake Charles Science Center and
Educational Complex Project
Modification (Final Supplemental RP/
EA). The Final Supplemental RP/EA
describes and, in conjunction with the
associated Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI), selects the modified
Lake Charles Science Center and
Educational Complex (SCEC) project
considered by the Louisiana TIG to
compensate for recreational use services
lost as a result of the Deepwater Horizon
oil spill. The Louisiana TIG evaluated
project alternatives under criteria set
forth in the OPA natural resource
damage assessment (NRDA) regulations,
and evaluated the environmental
consequences of the alternatives in
accordance with the NEPA. The selected
project is consistent with the restoration
alternatives selected in the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill Final Programmatic
Damage Assessment and Restoration
Plan/Programmatic Environmental
Impact Statement (PDARP/PEIS). The
Federal Trustees of the Louisiana TIG
have determined that implementation of
the Final Supplemental RP/EA is not a
major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment within the context of the
NEPA. They have concluded a FONSI is
appropriate, and, therefore, an
Environmental Impact Statement will
not be prepared. The purpose of this
notice is to inform the public of the
approval and availability of the Final
Supplemental RP/EA and FONSI.

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), experienced a significant
explosion, fire, and subsequent sinking
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 off shore
oil spill in U.S. history, discharging
millions of barrels of oil over a period
of 87 days.
The Trustees conducted the natural
resource damage assessment for the
Deepwater Horizon oil spill under the
Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 United
States Code 2701 et seq.). Under the
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. The 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 Deepwater Horizon oil spill
Trustees are:
•U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA);
•U.S. Department of the Interior
(DOI), as represented by the National
Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, and Bureau of Land
Management;
•National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), on behalf of
the U.S. Department of Commerce;
•U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA);
•State of Louisiana Coastal
Protection and Restoration Authority
(CPRA), Oil Spill Coordinator’s Office
(LOSCO), Department of Environmental
Quality (LDEQ), Department of Wildlife
and Fisheries (LDWF), and Department
of Natural Resources (LDNR);
•State of Mississippi Department of
Environmental Quality;
•State of Alabama Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources and
Geological Survey of Alabama;
•State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection and Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission; and
•State of Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department, General Land Office, and
Commission on Environmental Quality.
On April 4, 2016, the Trustees
reached and finalized a settlement of
their natural resource damage claims
with BP in a Consent Decree approved
by the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Pursuant to that Consent Decree,
restoration projects in the Louisiana
Restoration Area are now chosen and
managed by the Louisiana TIG. The
Louisiana TIG is composed of the
following Trustees: CPRA, LOSCO,
LDEQ, LDWF, LDNR, EPA, DOI, NOAA,
USDA.
