from the pile, respectively. No other
pinniped haulout site exists in the
vicinity of the proposed project area.
Therefore, pinnipeds hauled out at the
Puget Sound Naval Shipyard security
barrier will not be affected.
For the reasons discussed in this
document, NMFS has determined that
the impact of vibratory pile removal and
pile driving associated with wingwall
replacements at Bremerton Ferry
Terminal would result, at worst, in the
Level B harassment of small numbers of
six marine mammals that inhabit or visit
the area. While behavioral
modifications, including temporarily
vacating the area around the
construction site, may be made by these
species to avoid the resultant visual and
acoustic disturbance, the availability of
alternate areas within Washington
coastal waters and haul-out sites has led
NMFS to determine that this action will
have a negligible impact on these
species in the vicinity of the proposed
construction area.
In addition, no take by TTS, Level A
harassment or death is anticipated and
harassment takes should be at the
lowest level practicable due to
incorporation of the mitigation and
monitoring measures mentioned
previously in this document.

NMFS prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) and analyzed the
potential impacts to marine mammals
that would result from WSDOT’s
wingwalls replacement work at the
Bremerton Ferry Terminal. A Finding of
No Significant Impact (FONSI) was
signed on June 10, 2013. A copy of the
EA and FONSI is available upon request
(see ADDRESSES).
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
The humpback whale, Southern
Resident stock of killer whale, and the
eastern population of Steller sea lions,
are the only marine mammal species
currently listed under the ESA that
could occur in the vicinity of WSDOT’s
construction projects. NMFS’ Permits
and Conservation Division consulted
with NMFS’ Northwest Regional Office
Division of Protected Resources under
section 7 of the ESA on the issuance of
an IHA to WSDOT under section
101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA for this
activity. A Biological Opinion was
issued on February 19, 2013, which
concludes that issuance of the IHA is
not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of the ESA-listed marine
mammal species. NMFS will issue an
Incidental Take Statement under this
Biological Opinion which contains

reasonable and prudent measures with
implementing terms and conditions to
minimize the effects of take of listed
species.
Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to WSDOT
for the potential harassment of small
numbers of six marine mammal species
incidental to wingwalls replacement
construction activities at the Bremerton
Ferry Terminal in Washington State,
provided the previously mentioned
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
requirements are incorporated.

Comments
A 60-day Notice requesting public
comment was published in the Federal
Register on December 10, 2012. This
comment period ended on February 10,
2013. A total of 99 public comments
were received from this Notice.
Summary of Comments by Category and
CNCS Response
Category 1: Statements of Support for
a PPR Update. A total of 26 comments
included statements of support for an
updated PPR: Nineteen commenters
support updating the PPR to align with
new performance measures and 7
commenters shared that the PPR is a
valuable reporting tool.
Response: CNCS agrees with the need
to align the PPR with new performance
measures and also the overall value of
the PPR.
Category 2: Burden. CNCS received 72
comments citing semi-annual reporting
will increase reporting burden, and that
CNCS should retain an annual reporting
cycle. Nineteen comments stated that a
semi-annual PPR would take too much
time away from other project
management responsibilities. Four of
the 19 comments specifically noted that
grantee time is needed to shift service
activities to new National Performance
Measures or to focus on RSVP
Competition. Eight of the 19 comments
noted that a Senior Corps project
director’s time and project management
abilities are already stretched due to
recent budget cuts which have resulted
in reduced staff time and reduced travel
budgets
Response: CNCS recognizes the time
needed to support other Senior Corps
project management responsibilities,
and agree that requesting a full PPR
every six months does not result in
benefits that outweigh the additional
administrative burden imposed. CNCS
proposes the following refinements to
semi-annual reporting: Only grantees
that have adopted the new standard
performance measures will be required
to report semi-annually. These grantees
comprise 33 percent of the Senior Corps
portfolio in FY 2013; 66 percent in FY
2014; and 100 percent in FY 2015. The
increase in percentage is due to the
phased in approach of the required
performance measures. In this way,
grantees not yet operating under the
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703

performance measures requirements
will retain their original annual
reporting cycle until the time that they
compete for a new grant (RSVP only) or
submit a renewal for a new grant (FGP
and SCP only).
CNCS will require only demographic
and performance measure output data
reports on the mid-year PPR, rather than
the full PPR. Completing only the
sections that address the performance
and results will provide the data needed
by CNCS to gauge progress, but will
abbreviate the mid-year PPR
submission.
Category 3: Lack of useful data to
justify increase in burden. A total of 26
comments stated that a semi-annual PPR
is unnecessary because performance
measure data includes an annual target.
Thus, a semi-annual report would not
yield useful data. Eighteen of these
comments stated that information
reported on a semi-annual PPR would
unfairly be used as a measure towards
progress on achieving final targets. Two
of the comments stated that commenters
believed CNCS would not use the data
reported.
Response: CNCS recognizes that
performance measure targets are a goal
to be achieved at the end of a 12-month
period. However, information reported
on a semi-annual PPR provides
information used to determine whether
the project is on track to achieve the
target on time. The data will be used to
determine adequate progress during the
project period to assess whether an
administrative renewal or competition
is the appropriate next step for RSVP
projects. The data submitted at the midpoint each year will also allow CNCS to
access data needed for key documents,
such as the Congressional Budget
Submission.
Category 4: Burden on volunteer
stations, which are the organizations
where the volunteers are placed. A total
of 15 comments expressed concern
about an additional reporting burden on
volunteer stations. One comment stated
that the project would be at risk of
losing volunteer stations due to an
increased reporting burden. Two
comments cited technology issues at the
volunteer stations may present
challenges to gathering reporting
information from volunteer stations.
Response: CNCS recognizes the
potential increase in volunteer station
burden due to additional reporting.
Rather than asking for a full PPR to be
submitted every six months, CNCS will
compromise with a requirement for only
demographic and output information to
be reported on the six-month PPR.
