Download as PDF 12744 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 37 / Monday, February 25, 2013 / Notices under Section 7 of the ESA to address these changes in the proposed action. A new Biological Opinion was issued on February 14, 2012. The Biological Opinion determined that the issuance of IHA is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the Cook Inlet beluga whales or the western DPS of Steller sea lions, or destroy or adversely modify Cook Inlet beluga whale critical habitat. Finally, the Biological Opinion includes an Incidental Take Statement (ITS) for Cook Inlet beluga whales and Steller sea lions. The ITS contains reasonable and prudent measures implemented by terms and conditions to minimize the effects of this take. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) NMFS prepared an Environmental Assessment to determine whether this proposed activity will have a significant effect on the human environment. This analysis was completed prior to the issuance the IHA with NMFS’ issuance of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). Authorization NMFS has issued an incidental harassment authorization for the take of marine mammals incidental to Apache’s seismic survey in Cook Inlet, Alaska, provided the previously mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements are incorporated. Dated: February 20, 2013. Helen M. Golde, Acting Director, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
