<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 114 / Friday, June 12, 2020 / Notices
action area is the Mexico Distinct
Population Segment (DPS) of humpback
whales. The effects of this proposed
Federal action were adequately
analyzed in NMFS’ Biological Opinion
for the Mukilteo Multimodal Project,
Snohomish, Washington, dated August
1, 2017, which concluded that issuance
of an IHA would not jeopardize the
continued existence of any endangered
or threatened species or destroy or
adversely modify any designated critical
habitat. NMFS WCR has confirmed the
Incidental Take Statement (ITS) issued
in 2017 is applicable for this IHA. That
ITS authorizes the take of seven
humpback whales from the Mexico DPS.
Proposed Authorization
As a result of these preliminary
determinations, NMFS proposes to issue
an IHA to WSDOT for conducting
Mukilteo Multimodal Project Year 4
construction in the State of Washington
between August 1, 2020, through July
31, 2021, provided the previously
mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements are incorporated.
A draft of the proposed IHA can be
found at https://www.fisheries.

Request for Public Comments
We request comment on our analyses,
the proposed authorization, and any
other aspect of this notice of proposed
IHA for WSDOT’s Mukilteo Multimodal
construction project. We also request at
this time comment on the potential
Renewal of this proposed IHA as
described in the paragraph below.
Please include with your comments any
supporting data or literature citations to
help inform decisions on the request for
this IHA or a subsequent Renewal IHA.
On a case-by-case basis, NMFS may
issue a one-time one-year Renewal IHA
following notice to the public providing
an additional 15 days for public
comments when (1) up to another year
of identical or nearly identical, or nearly
identical, activities as described in the
Description of Specific Activity section
of this notice is planned or (2) the
activities as described in the Specified
Activities section of this notice would
not be completed by the time the IHA
expires and a Renewal would allow for
completion of the activities beyond that
described in the Dates and Duration
section of this notice, provided all of the
following conditions are met:
• A request for renewal is received no
later than 60 days prior to the needed
Renewal IHA effective date (recognizing
that the Renewal IHA expiration date
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:43 Jun 11, 2020
Jkt 250001
cannot extend beyond one year from
expiration of the initial IHA).
• The request for renewal must
include the following:
(1) An explanation that the activities
to be conducted under the requested
Renewal IHA are identical to the
activities analyzed under the initial
IHA, are a subset of the activities, or
include changes so minor (e.g.,
reduction in pile size) that the changes
do not affect the previous analyses,
mitigation and monitoring
requirements, or take estimates (with
the exception of reducing the type or
amount of take).
(2) A preliminary monitoring report
showing the results of the required
monitoring to date and an explanation
showing that the monitoring results do
not indicate impacts of a scale or nature
not previously analyzed or authorized.
• Upon review of the request for
Renewal, the status of the affected
species or stocks, and any other
pertinent information, NMFS
determines that there are no more than
minor changes in the activities, the
mitigation and monitoring measures
will remain the same and appropriate,
and the findings in the initial IHA
remain valid.
