{"abstract":"Pursuant to 15 CFR 990.23 & 990.56, notice is hereby given that two public meetings will be held to provide an opportunity for public comment and input on the \"Louisiana Regional Restoration Planning Program/Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement, May 2003.\" Notice of the availability of this DPEIS was published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2003 and the comment period ends on July 9, 2003. This document was prepared by the state and Federal natural resource trustee agencies (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce; United States Department of the Interior; Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinator's Office; Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality; Louisiana Department of Natural Resources; and Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries) to address natural resource damages in the State of Louisiana caused by discharges of oil, which are actionable under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), 33 U.S.C. 2701 et seq. Pursuant to OPA, the above natural resource trustee agencies may claim damages from responsible parties to restore, rehabilitate, replace or acquire the equivalent of natural resources and services injured by oil spill incidents. The purpose of the Louisiana Regional Restoration Planning Program is to develop an institutional framework and procedures that will enable the trustees to select and implement projects that restore for losses of natural resources and services from unauthorized discharges of oil in a consistent and predictable manner. As part of the implementation of the Louisiana Regional Restoration Planning Program, nine Regional Restoration Plans will be developed. Each Regional Restoration Plan will identify existing, planned, or proposed projects that may provide appropriate restoration alternatives for natural resources injured by oil spill incidents and thereby enhance resolution of claims for natural resource damages caused by oil spill incidents in a more expeditious and cost-effective manner.","action":"Notice of public meetings for the Louisiana Regional Restoration Planning Program/Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (DPEIS)","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","id":361,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/361","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2003/06/09/03-14400.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"68 FR 34383","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":null,"disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"03-14400","effective_on":null,"end_page":34385,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2003/06/09/03-14400.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/06/09/03-14400/public-meeting-for-the-louisiana-regional-restoration-planning-programdraft-programmatic","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/03-14400?publication_date=2003-06-09","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2003-06-09/03-14400/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":7,"last_updated":"2026-04-05 02:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-06-09/pdf/03-14400.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2003-06-09","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2003/06/09/03-14400.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":34383,"subtype":null,"title":"Public Meeting for the Louisiana Regional Restoration Planning Program/Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement","toc_doc":"Louisiana Regional Restoration Planning Program; draft programmatic environmental impact statement; public meeting","toc_subject":"Meetings:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":68}
