Small Numbers Analysis
The numbers of animals authorized to
be taken would be considered small
relative to the relevant stocks or
populations (4 percent and 11 percent
for Steller sea lions and harbor seals,
respectively) even if each estimated
taking occurred to a new individual.
However, the likelihood that each take
would occur to a new individual is
extremely low. As described above, for
those sea lions that associate fishing
boats with reliable sources of food, there
will almost certainly be some overlap in
individuals present day-to-day
depending on the number of vessels
entering the harbor. It is expected that
operations at a separate, nearby UniSea
dock and the associated UniSea
processing facilities, as well as at
seafood processing facilities owned by
other companies based in Iliuliuk
Harbor, will continue as usual during
construction on the G1 dock, so it is
likely that sea lions accustomed to
seeking food at these facilities will
continue to be attracted to the area
during portions of the construction
activities.
Further, these takes are likely to occur
only within some small portion of the
overall regional stock. For example, of
the estimated 55,422 western DPS
Steller sea lions throughout Alaska,
there are probably no more than 300
individuals with site fidelity to the three
haulouts located nearest to the project
location, based on over twenty years of
NMML survey data (see ‘‘Description of
Marine Mammals in the Area of the
Specified Activity’’ above). For harbor
seals, NMML survey data suggest there
are likely no more than 60 individuals
that use the three haulouts nearest to the
project location (the only haulouts in
Unalaska Bay). Thus the estimate of take
is an estimate of the number of
anticipated exposures, rather than an
estimate of the number of individuals
that will be taken, as we expect the
majority of exposures would be repeat
exposures that would accrue to the same
individuals. As such, the authorized
takes represent a much smaller number
of individuals of both Steller sea lions
and harbor seals, in relation to total
stock sizes.
Based on the analysis contained
herein of the likely effects of the
specified activity on marine mammals
and their habitat, and taking into
consideration the implementation of the
mitigation and monitoring measures, we
find that small numbers of marine
mammals will be taken relative to the
populations of the affected species or
stocks.

Impact on Availability of Affected
Species for Taking for Subsistence Uses
Subsistence hunting and fishing is an
important part of the history and culture
of Unalaska Island. However, the
number of Steller sea lions and harbor
seals harvested in Unalaska decreased
from 1994 through 2008; in 2008, the
last year for which data is available,
there were no Steller sea lions or harbor
seals reported as harvested for
subsistence use. Data on pinnipeds
hunted for subsistence use in Unalaska
has not been collected since 2008. For
a summary of data on pinniped harvests
in Unalaska from 1994–2008, see
Section 8 of the IHA application.
Aside from the apparently decreasing
rate of subsistence hunting in Unalaska,
Iliuliuk Harbor is not likely to be used
for subsistence hunting or fishing due to
its industrial nature, with several fish
processing facilities located along the
shoreline of the harbor. In addition, the
UniSea G1 dock construction project is
likely to result only in short-term,
temporary impacts to pinnipeds in the
form of possible behavior changes, and
is not expected to result in the injury or
death of any marine mammal. As such,
the project is not likely to adversely
impact the availability of any marine
mammal species or stocks that may
otherwise be used for subsistence
purposes.
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
NMFS prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) in February, 2016,
titled ‘‘Issuance of an Incidental
Harassment Authorization to UniSea,
Inc., to Take Marine Mammals by
Harassment Incidental to Construction
Activities on Unalaska Island, Alaska,
March 2016–February 2017.’’ A Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was
signed on February 12, 2016. In the
FONSI, NMFS determined that the
issuance of the IHA for the take, by
harassment, of small numbers of marine
mammals incidental to the UniSea’s
dock construction project in Unalaska,
AK, will not significantly impact the
quality of the human environment, as
described in this document and in the
UniSea EA. The EA and FONSI can be
found at: https://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/
permits/incidental/.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
There is one marine mammal species
(western DPS Steller sea lion) with
confirmed occurrence in the project area
that is listed as endangered under the
ESA. The NMFS Alaska Regional Office
Protected Resources Division issued a
Biological Opinion on February 16,
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
2016, under section 7 of the ESA, on the
issuance of an IHA to UniSea under
section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA by the
NMFS Permits and Conservation
Division. The Biological Opinion
concluded that the proposed action is
not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of western DPS Steller sea
lions, and is not likely to destroy or
adversely modify western DPS Steller
sea lion critical habitat.
Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to UniSea
for the potential harassment of small
numbers of two marine mammal species
incidental to the G1 dock construction
project in Unalaska, Alaska, provided
the previously mentioned mitigation.
