petitions for certification of eligibility to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
from the firms listed below.
Accordingly, EDA has initiated
investigations to determine whether
increased imports into the United States

decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to
Specified Activities; Taking Marine
Mammals Incidental to the Berth III
New Mooring Dolphins Project in
Ketchikan, Alaska
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; issuance of an incidental
harassment authorization.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
regulations implementing the Marine
Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) as
amended, notification is hereby given
that NMFS has issued an incidental
harassment authorization (IHA) to the
City of Ketchikan, Alaska (COK) to
incidentally harass, by Level A and B
harassment, marine mammals during
construction activities associated with
the Berth III New Mooring Dolphins
Project in Ketchikan, AK.
DATES: This Authorization is effective
for a period of one year, from October
1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert Pauline, Office of Protected
Resources, NMFS, (301) 427–8401.

of problems accessing these documents,
please call the contact listed above.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of
marine mammals, with certain
exceptions, sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D)
of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.)
direct the Secretary of Commerce (as
delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon
request, the incidental, but not
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and either regulations are
issued or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, a notice of a proposed
incidental take authorization may be
provided to the public for review.
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
PO 00000

taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s) and will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
taking for subsistence uses (where
relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe
the permissible methods of taking and
other ‘‘means of effecting the least
practicable adverse impact’’ on the
affected species or stocks and their
habitat, paying particular attention to
rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of
similar significance, and on the
availability of the species or stocks for
taking for certain subsistence uses
(referred to in shorthand as
‘‘mitigation’’); and requirements
pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring
and reporting of the takings are set forth.
The definitions of all applicable
MMPA statutory terms cited above are
included in the relevant sections below.
Summary of Request
On May 14, 2020, NMFS received a
request from COK for an IHA to take
marine mammals incidental to
construction activities associated with
the Berth III Mooring Dolphin Project in
Ketchikan, Alaska. After several
revisions, the application was deemed
adequate and complete on September
22, 2021. COK’s request is for take of
nine species of marine mammals by
harassment, including Level A
harassment of three of these species.
Neither COK nor NMFS expects serious
injury or mortality to result from this
activity and, therefore, an IHA is
appropriate.
Description of the Specified Activity
COK plans to make improvements to
Berth III, in order to accommodate a
new fleet of large cruise ships (i.e. Bliss
class) and to meet the needs of the
growing cruise ship industry and its
vessels in Southeast Alaska. Expansion
activities include vibratory pile
removal, vibratory pile driving, impact
pile driving and down-the-hole (DTH)
pile installation. Underwater sound
generated by these in-water activities
may result in harassment including
Level B harassment and Level A
harassment of marine mammal species.
In-water work is scheduled to occur
over approximately 120 days between
October 1, 2021 and March 13, 2022
although the IHA would be effective
until September 30, 2022.
The proposed project would install
three new mooring dolphins (MD) with
one at the north end of Berth III (MD#2)
and two at the south end (MD#3 &
MD#4) as shown in Figure 2 in COK’s
IHA application (available online at:
