The permit has been amended (No. 04) to increase the number of humpback whales that may be taken by Level B harassment during surveys from 1,000 to 2,000 animals annually. The permit expires December 31, 2018. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) (NEPA), a final determination has been made that the activity proposed for Permit No. 14809– 02 is categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) or environmental impact statement. A supplemental EA analyzing the effects of the permitted activities on the human environment was prepared for Permit No. 14856–04 in compliance with NEPA. Based on the analyses in the EA, NMFS determined that issuance of the permit would not significantly impact the quality of the human environment and that preparation of an environmental impact statement was not required. That determination is documented in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), signed on October 27, 2015. As required by the ESA, issuance of the permits was based on a finding that each permit: (1) Was applied for in good faith; (2) will not operate to the disadvantage of such endangered species; and (3) is consistent with the purposes and policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA.
