Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 23, 2021 / Notices
we propose to authorize take for
endangered or threatened species.
The only species listed under the ESA
with the potential to be present in the
action area are the Mexico Distinct
Population Segment (DPS) and Central
America DPS of humpback whales. The
effects of this Federal action were
adequately analyzed in NMFS’
Biological Opinion for the Seattle
Multimodal Project at Colman Dock,
Seattle, Washington, dated October 1,
2018, 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.
Proposed Renewal IHA and Request for
Public Comment
As a result of these preliminary
determinations, NMFS proposes to issue
a Renewal IHA to WSDOT to conduct
the Seattle Multimodal Project at
Colman Dock Year 4 in Washington
State, between August 1, 2021 and July
31, 2022, provided the previously
described mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements are incorporated.
A draft of the proposed and final initial
IHA can be found at https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/permit/
incidental-take-authorizations-undermarine-mammal-protection-act. We
request comment on our analyses, the
proposed Renewal IHA, and any other
aspect of this Notice. Please include
with your comments any supporting
data or literature citations to help
inform our final decision on the request
for MMPA authorization.
