ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
of a proposed IHA (87 FR 12089, March
3, 2022).
Preliminary Determinations
The City is in the process of
reconstructing Waterfront Park which
includes vibratory removal of existing
in-water piles and vibratory and impact
installation of new piles. The
reconstructed pier requires installation
of 120 permanent 30-inch steel piles by
vibratory hammer and impact proofing.
Under the initial IHA, 76 steel piles
were successfully installed. The
remaining 44 piles, which represent a
subset of the originally planned 120
piles, would be installed under the
renewal IHA. The pile type, size and
method of installation (i.e., vibratory,
impact) would be identical to that
conducted in Season 1. A total of 31
existing steel H-piles and timber piles
were removed under the initial IHA by
pulling the piles using a vibratory
extraction method or clamshell bucket.
A nearly identical activity proposed
under the renewal IHA would be the
removal of eight 12-inch creosote timber
piles (1 day) by vibratory hammer and
the vibratory installation of eight 16inch steel piles (2 days) at the Don
Armeni Boat Ramp.
A detailed description of the
construction activities for which take is
proposed, including the installation of
30-inch permanent steel piles and,
potentially, 24-inch temporary template
steel piles may be found in the notice
of the proposed and final IHA for the
initial authorization (87 FR 12089,
March 3, 2022; 87 FR 31985, May 26,
2022). As previously mentioned, these
specific activities represent a subset of
the activities authorized in the initial
IHA that would not be completed prior
to its expiration.
Minor changes to the initial scope as
described in notice of the proposed and
final IHA for the initial authorization
(87 FR 12089, March 3, 2022; 87 FR
31985, May 26, 2022) include the
removal of eight 12-inch creosote timber
piles by vibratory hammer and the
vibratory installation of eight 16-inch
steel piles at the boat ramp. Vibratory
removal of the 12-inch creosote timber
piles, requiring an estimated 2 days, is
nearly identical to the vibratory removal
of H-piles and timber piles, which
required 3 days, under the initial IHA.
The installation of eight 16-inch steel
piles under the proposed renewal IHA
is nearly identical to the installation of
30-inch steel piles under the initial IHA
with the only difference being the size
of piles (30-inch vs. 16-inch) and the
duration (36 days vs. 2 days).
There is no new information which
would change our potential impacts to

the specified marine mammal species
and stocks. The anticipated effects of
the action under the renewal IHA are
expected to be the same as those that
may have occurred under the initial
IHA. The species proposed for take are
identical to those that were identified in
the initial IHA. The same species that
were authorized for limited take by
Level A harassment under the initial
IHA are proposed for take by Level A
harassment under the renewal IHA. The
Level A and Level B harassment zones
for 30-inch pile installation under the
renewal IHA are larger than those
contained in the initial IHA. However,
the number of animals of each species
proposed for authorized take is less than
what was authorized under the initial
IHA since the number of in-water work
days anticipated is less than half of the
number of work days that occurred
under the initial IHA. Furthermore, PSO
monitoring of the renewal IHA’s
extended harassment zones
demonstrated that most take occur
closer to the in-water driving location.
The mitigation and monitoring
measures proposed for the renewal IHA
are identical to those mandated in the
initial IHA, with one exception. The
shutdown and Level B harassment
zones under the proposed renewal IHA
are larger than those employed in
Season 1.
After analyzing the City’s application
for the initial IHA, NMFS determined
that the action would have a negligible
impact on all affected stocks and that
the taking of authorized species would
be small relative to population size (< 6
percent of the total abundance for all
stocks).
NMFS has preliminarily concluded
that there is no new information
suggesting that our analysis or findings
should change from those reached for
the initial IHA. Based on the
information and analysis contained here
and in the referenced documents, NMFS
has preliminarily determined the
following: (1) the required mitigation
measures will affect the least practicable
impact on marine mammal species or
stocks and their habitat; (2) the
authorized takes will have a negligible
impact on the affected marine mammal
species or stocks; (3) the authorized
takes represent small numbers of marine
mammals relative to the affected stock
abundances; (4) The City’s activities
will not have an unmitigable adverse
impact on taking for subsistence
purposes as no relevant subsistence uses
of marine mammals are implicated by
this action, and; (5) appropriate
monitoring and reporting requirements
are included.

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.
No incidental take of ESA-listed
species is authorized or expected to
result from these activities. Therefore,
NMFS has determined that consultation
under section 7 of the ESA is not
required for this action.
Proposed Renewal IHA and Request for
Public Comment
As a result of these preliminary
determinations, NMFS proposes to issue
a renewal IHA to the City for conducting
activities associated with the Pier 58
Reconstruction Project in Seattle,
Washington from August 1, 2023
through July 31, 2024, 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.
