Response Boat Replacement Project; Programmatic Environmental Assessment

The U.S. Coast Guard announces its intent to prepare a draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) for the replacement of response boats. The PEA will assess the decision to acquire, homeport, and operate approximately 880 new response boats (approximately 180 Response Boat--Medium (RB-M) and approximately 700 Response Boat--Small (RB-S) to add to or replace existing Coast Guard boat capability at 43 Groups/Activities, 187 multi-mission stations, and 26 Marine Safety Offices that operate Coast Guard boats. The Coast Guard seeks public and agency input on the scope of the PEA. Specifically, the Coast Guard requests input on any environmental concerns that the public may have related to existing response boats, the proposal to replace these assets, sources of relevant data or information, and any suggested analysis methods for inclusion in the PEA.
