Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 27, 2019 / Notices
Indian Tribes of Alaska, representatives
indicated that the primary concern with
construction activities in Statter Harbor
was impacts to herring fisheries, not
marine mammals. As stated above,
impacts to fish from the planned project
are expected to be localized and
temporary, so are not likely to impact
herring fisheries. If any tribes express
concerns regarding project impacts to
subsistence hunting of marine
mammals, further communication
between will take place, including
provision of any project information,
and clarification of any mitigation and
minimization measures that may reduce
potential impacts to marine mammals.
Based on the description of the
specified activity, the measures
described to minimize adverse effects
on the availability of marine mammals
for subsistence purposes, and the
required mitigation and monitoring
measures, NMFS has determined that
there will not be an unmitigable adverse
impact on subsistence uses from Mr.
Erickson’s planned activities.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
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 Alaska Regional Office,
whenever we propose to authorize take
for endangered or threatened species.
NMFS Alaska Region issued a
Biological Opinion to NMFS Office of
Protected Resources on November 15,
2019, which concluded the issuance of
an IHA to Mr. Erickson is not likely to
jeopardize the continued existence of
wDPS Steller sea lions or Mexico DPS
humpback whales or adversely modify
critical habitat.
National Environmental Policy Act
To comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and
NOAA Administrative Order (NAO)
216–6A, NMFS must review our action
(i.e., the issuance of an incidental
harassment authorization) with respect
to potential impacts on the human
environment.
This action is consistent with
categories of activities identified in
Categorical Exclusion B4 (incidental
harassment authorizations with no
anticipated serious injury or mortality)
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:21 Nov 26, 2019
Jkt 250001
of the Companion Manual for NOAA
Administrative Order 216–6A, which do
not individually or cumulatively have
the potential for significant impacts on
the quality of the human environment
and for which we have not identified
any extraordinary circumstances that
would preclude this categorical
exclusion. Accordingly, NMFS has
determined that the issuance of the IHA
qualifies to be categorically excluded
from further NEPA review.
Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to Mr.
Erickson for conducting pile installation
and removal activities at the Erickson
Residence between January 1, 2020 and
December 31, 2020, provided the
previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated.
