Management) that will be consulted as
part of this effort. Information will be
collected on a one-off basis from each of
the sectors. Respondents in each sector
include the general public, defined as
(adults ages 18+). Members of the
SWAG will oversee recruitment of the
respondents. Respondents will be asked
questions about their current use of
space weather observations,
information, and forecasts,
technological systems, components or
elements affected by space weather,
current and future risk and resilience
activities, future space weather
requirements, and unused or new types
of measurements or observations that
would enhance space weather risk
mitigation. This data collection serves
many purposes, including gaining a
better understanding of the needs of
users of space weather products. The
SWAG will use the data to identify the
space weather research, observations,
forecasting, prediction, and modeling
advances required to improve space
weather products. Specifically, the
information will be used to advise the
National Science and Technology
Council’s Space Weather Operations,
Research, and Mitigation (SWORM)
Subcommittee on improving the ability
of the United States to prepare for,
mitigate, respond to, and recover from
space weather storms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The purpose of this information
collection is to assist state and federal
Natural Resource Trustees in more
efficiently carrying out the restoration
planning phase of Natural Resource
Damage Assessments (NRDA), in
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4321–4370d; 40 CFR 1500–1500
and other federal and local statutes and
regulations as applicable. The NRDA
Restoration Project Information Sheet is
designed to facilitate the collection of
information on existing, planned, or
proposed restoration projects. This
information will be used by the Natural
Resource Trustees to develop potential
restoration alternatives for natural
resource injuries and service losses
requiring restoration, during the
restoration planning phase of the NRDA
process. This information is provided by
the public on a voluntary basis. The
information provided benefits the
public by informing the NRDA
restoration process. However, there are

ACTION: Notice; issuance of an incidental

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
Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Bight,
LLC (Atlantic Shores Bight) to
incidentally harass marine mammals
during site characterization surveys off
New Jersey and New York in the area of
Commercial Lease of Submerged Lands
for Renewable Energy Development on
the Outer Continental Shelf Lease Area
(OCS–A 0541). There are no changes
from the proposed authorization in this
final authorization.
DATES: This Authorization is effective
August 10, 2022 to August 9, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of
marine mammals, with certain
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
50293
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
proposed or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, a notice of a proposed IHA
is provided to the public for review.
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
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 April 8, 2022, NMFS received a
request from Atlantic Shores Bight for
an IHA to take marine mammals
incidental to marine site
characterization survey activities off
New Jersey and New York. The
application was deemed adequate and
complete on May 23, 2022. Atlantic
Shores Bight’s request is for take of 15
species of marine mammals by Level B
harassment only. Neither Atlantic
Shores Bight nor NMFS expect serious
injury or mortality to result from this
activity and, therefore, an IHA is
appropriate.
NMFS previously issued three IHAs
to Atlantic Shores, the parent company
of Atlantic Shores Bight, for similar
work in a comparable geographic region
(85 FR 21198, April 16, 2020; 86 FR
21289, April 22, 2021; 87 FR 24103,
April 20, 2022). The 2020 monitoring
report confirmed that Atlantic Shores
had previously implemented the
required mitigation and monitoring, and
demonstrated that no impacts of a scale
or nature not previously analyzed or
authorized had occurred as a result of
the activities conducted under the 2020
