The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announces the availability of a new permit application for invasive species regulated under 6 NYCRR Part 575 Prohibited and Regulated Invasive Species. These regulations are intended to reduce the introduction and spread of invasive species by limiting commerce in such species. Under section 575.9, a person may possess, with intent to sell, import, purchase, transport or introduce a prohibited or regulated invasive species only if the person has been issued a permit by the Department for research, education, or other approved activity. The permit application, instructions and standard conditions is available on DEC’s website at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/100696.html

The New York State Department of State (DOS) is required by Federal regulations to provide timely public notice for the activities described below, which are subject to the consistency provisions of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended.

The National Science Foundation has determined that the proposed activity will be undertaken in a manner consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the enforceable policies of the New York State Coastal Management Program. The applicant's consistency determination and accompanying supporting information and data are available for inspection at the New York State Department of State offices located at One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue in Albany, New York.

The National Science Foundation, in collaboration with Rutgers University, proposes to conduct a 3-D seismic survey in federal waters, approximately 50-72 nautical miles outside of NY state waters, for approximately 30 days between June and August 2015 on the NSF owned R/V Marcus G. Langseth (operated by Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory). The proposed purpose of the activity is to collect and analyze data on the arrangement of sediments deposited during times of changing global sea level from approximately 60 million years ago to the present. The procedures proposed involve deploying two pairs of subarrays of 4 airguns to fire alternately with a total volume of ~700 inch (in)3. The proposed receiving system consists of four 3000-m hydrophone streamers at 75-m spacing, or, a combination of two 3000-m hydrophone streamers and a Geometrics P-Cable system. The airgun array will be towed along a total of ~4900 km of 3-D survey lines, including turns, to be conducted in an area of 12 x 50 km with a line spacing of 150 m in two 6-m wide race-track patterns. Additionally, a multibeam echosounder and a sub-bottom profiler will be operated continuously but not during transit. Monitoring and mitigation measures are proposed including use of protected species visual observers, passive acoustic monitoring, exclusion zones for each airgun source and tow depths, speed or course alterations, power or shut downs, and ramp-up procedures.

Any interested parties and/or agencies desiring to express their views concerning the above proposed activities may do so by filing their comments, in writing, no later than 4:30 p.m., 10 days from the date of publication of this notice, or, March 14th, 2015.

Comments should be addressed to the New York State Department of State, ATTN: Consistency Review Unit, One Commerce Plaza, Suite 1010, 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12231. Telephone (518) 474-6000; Fax (518) 473-2464. Comments can also be submitted electronically via e-mail at: [email protected].

This notice is promulgated in accordance with Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 930.
