or stocks.
Unmitigable Adverse Impact Analysis
and Determination
There are no relevant subsistence uses
of the affected marine mammal stocks or
species implicated by this action.
Therefore, NMFS has determined that
the total taking of affected species or
stocks would not have an unmitigable
adverse impact on the availability of
such species or stocks for taking for
subsistence purposes.

Endangered Species Act
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
whenever we propose to authorize take
for endangered or threatened species.
NMFS OPR is authorizing take of four
species of marine mammals which are
listed under the ESA, including the
North Atlantic right, fin, sei, and sperm
whale, and has determined that this
activity falls within the scope of
activities analyzed in NMFS Greater
Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office’s
(GARFO) programmatic consultation
regarding geophysical surveys along the
U.S. Atlantic coast in the three Atlantic
Renewable Energy Regions (completed
June 29, 2021; revised September 2021).
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 the action
(i.e., the issuance of an IHA) with
respect to potential impacts on the
human environment.
This action is consistent with
categories of activities identified in
Categorical Exclusion B4 (IHAs with no
anticipated serious injury or mortality)
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
As a result of these determinations,
NMFS has issued an IHA to Attentive
Energy authorizing take, by Level B
harassment, incidental to conducting
marine site characterization surveys off
of New York and New Jersey in the New
York bight for a period of one year,
which includes the previously
explained mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements.
