NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Notice of the Availability of Finding of
No Significant Impact for a Marine
Geophysical Survey in the Arctic
Ocean
AGENCY: National Science Foundation.
ACTION:Notice of availability of a
Finding of No Significant Impact for
proposed activities in the Arctic Ocean.
SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation gives notice of the
availability of a Finding of No
Significant Impact for proposed
activities in the Arctic Ocean.
The Office of Polar Programs (OPP)
has prepared an Environmental
Assessment of a marine geophysical
survey by the Coast Guard cutter Healy
across the Arctic Ocean, August–
September 2005. Given the United
States Program’s mission to support
polar research, the proposed action is
expected to result in substantial benefits
to science. The draft Environmental
Assessment was available for public
review for a 45-day period.
DATES: Comments on the FONSI must be
submitted on or before July 25, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the Finding of No
Significant Impact and the
Environmental Assessment are available
upon request from: Dr. Polly A. Penhale,
National Science Foundation, Office of
Polar Programs, 401 Wilson Blvd., Suite
755, Arlington, VA 22230. Telephone:
(703) 292–8033.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Science Foundation prepared a
draft Environmental Impact Assessment
(EA) for a marine geophysical survey
across the Arctic Ocean and solicited
public comments (Federal Register:
April 11, 2005, Vol. 70, No. 68, Page
18431–18432; and April 27, 2005, Vol.
70, No. 80, Page 21819). The National
Science Foundation has prepared a
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) based on this EA, in
accordance with CEQ regulations
§ 1500–1508 and 45 CRF 640. It was
determined that the proposed activity
would not result in a significant impact
on the quality of the human
environment within the meaning of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969. Therefore, a FONSI was
issued, and no environmental impact
statement is required.
Copies of the FONSI and the
Environmental Assessment titled, An
Environmental Assessment of a Marine
Geophysical Survey b the Coast Guard
Cutter Healy Across the Arctic Ocean
August–September 2005, are available

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Preparation of an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the
Advanced Technology Solar Telescope
(ATST) at the Haleakal̄a High Altitude
Observatory (HO) Site, Mt. Haleakalā,
Island of Maui, HI
AGENCY: National Science Foundation.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation (NSF) intends to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the proposed Advanced Technology
Solar Telescope (ATST) Project. The
NSF, through an award to the National
Solar Observatory (NSO), plans to fund
construction of the proposed ATST at
the University of Hawai’i Institute for
Astronomy (IfA), Haleakalā High
Altitude Observatory (HO) site, on the
Island of Maui, Hawai’i. An extensive
campaign of worldwide site testing has
identified Haleakalā Observatory as the
optimal location for this next-generation
solar observing facility. The telescope
enclosure and a support facility would
be placed at one of two identified sites
within the existing observatory
boundaries. The EIS will address both of
these sites and the potential
environmental impacts of on-site
construction, installation, and operation
of this proposed new solar telescope.
With its unprecedented 4.2-m (165-
inch) aperture, advanced optical
technology, and state-of-the-art
instrumentation, the proposed ATST
will be an indispensable tool for
exploring and understanding physical
processes on the sun that ultimately
affect Earth. The EIS will address,
among other things, the potential direct,
indirect, and cumulative environmental
impacts associated with the proposed
Advanced Technology Solar Telescope
project. The EIS development process
for the proposed action will be
conducted in accordance with the
23JNN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed
alternatives to be considered may
include, but not be limited to, the
following:
(1) Alternative 1: (Proposed Action):
Undeveloped site East of Mees
Observatory.
(2) Alternative 2: Former radio
telescope site known as Reber Circle.
(3) Alternative 3: No-Action. The
National Science Foundation will not
construct the Advanced Technology
Solar Telescope on Maui.
Publication of the NOI does not
foreclose consideration of any courses of
actions or possible decisions addressed
by the National Science Foundation in
its Final Environmental Impact
Statement (FEIS). No final decisions
will be made regarding construction of
the ATST prior to completion and
signature of the Record of Decision for
the proposed action.
Scoping Process: Federal, State and
local agencies and the public are invited
to participate in the scoping process for
the completion of this EIS. The scoping
process will help identify potential
impacts and key issues to be analyzed
in the EIS.
Scoping meetings will be held at the
following locations on the island of
Maui, Hawai’i, with notification of the
times and locations published in the
local newspapers.
