The Secretary shall initiate and lead programmatic environmental impact statements (referred to in this section as EISs ) for areas of the exclusive economic zone determined by the Secretary to be highly favorable for marine aquaculture and likely compatible with other uses of such areas. The programmatic EISs conducted by the Secretary pursuant to subsection
(a)need not cover the entirety of the exclusive economic zone, but the Secretary shall attempt to provide coverage in each area of the exclusive economic zone, including the East Coast, Gulf Coast, West Coast, and other areas of the Atlantic and Pacific in the jurisdiction of the United States. The following shall apply: Programmatic EISs shall not supersede the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Individual projects may require additional review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) to support project-level decisionmaking and to analyze specific issues of concern to other Federal agencies, States, and other stakeholders at the project level. Programmatic and project-specific processes pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) described in this section should consider all public input, including local and regional concerns.
