Endangered Species Act
Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (ESA: 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) requires that each Federal
agency insure that any action it
authorizes, funds, or carries out is not
likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of any endangered or
threatened species or result in the
destruction or adverse modification of
designated critical habitat. To ensure
ESA compliance for the issuance of
IHAs, NMFS consults internally, in this
case with the Greater Atlantic Regional
Field Office (GARFO), whenever we
propose to authorize take for
endangered or threatened species.
The NMFS Office of Protected
Resources is authorizing the incidental
take fin, sei, sperm, and North Atlantic
right whales which are listed under the
ESA. Under section 7 of the ESA, BOEM
consulted with NMFS GARFO on
commercial wind lease issuance and
site assessment activities on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf in
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York
and New Jersey Wind Energy Areas.
NMFS GARFO issued a Biological
Opinion concluding that these activities
may adversely affect but are not likely
to jeopardize the continued existence of
fin, sei, sperm, and North Atlantic right
whales. Upon request from the NMFS
Office of Protected Resources, the NMFS
GARFO will issue an amended
incidental take statement associated
with this Biological Opinion to include
the takes of the ESA-listed whale
species authorized through this IHA.

Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to ;rsted for
HRG survey activities effective one year
from the date of issuance, provided the
previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated.

Notice of Availability of the Record of
Decision for Department of the Navy
Real Estate Actions in Support of the
Boardman to Hemmingway
Transmission Line Project, at Naval
Weapons Systems Training Facility
Boardman, OR
Department of the Navy, DoD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The United States (U.S.)
Department of the Navy (DoN), after
participating as a cooperating agency in
the development and evaluation of the
U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the Boardman to Hemingway
Transmission Line Project (B2H Project),
and carefully weighing the strategic,
operational, and environmental
consequences of the proposed action,
announces its decision to adopt the
Final EIS and implement real estate
actions as set out in the selected
alternative, identified as the Agency
Preferred Alternative in the Final EIS
dated November 2016.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoN real
estate actions would grant a 7.1 mile by
90-foot right of way easement to the
Idaho Power Company to allow for
construction and operation of a portion
of the B2H project on Naval Weapons
Systems Training Facility (NWSTF)
Boardman, Oregon in exchange for the
termination of an existing land use
agreement and removal of transmission
infrastructure held by Bonneville Power
Administration (BPA) that occupies the
same right-of-way.
The Agency Preferred Alternative
route exits the proposed Longhorn
Substation to the south, crossing the
boundary of NWSTF Boardman at the
northeastern corner and parallels the
eastern boundary of NWSTF Boardman
along the west side of Bombing Range
Road for approximately 7.1 miles. At
that point, the route crosses over
Bombing Range Road to the east and
exits Federal property. The route will
avoid the Resource Natural Area B, a
Washington ground squirrel Resource
Management Area, and traditional
cultural properties on NWSTF
Boardman.
The complete text of the Record of
Decision (ROD) for the DoN’s real estate
action is available at: https://
