effect 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) Vineyard Northeast’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 OPR consults internally
whenever we propose to authorize take
for endangered or threatened species.
NMFS has authorized the incidental
take of five species of marine mammals
which are listed under the ESA,
including the North Atlantic right, fin,
sei, blue, and sperm whale, and has
determined that this activity falls within
the scope of activities analyzed in
NMFS GARFO’s 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 our
proposed 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

of the IHA qualifies to be categorically
excluded from further NEPA review.
Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to Vineyard
Northeast for the potential harassment
of small numbers of 19 marine mammal
species incidental to marine site
characterization surveys offshore of
Massachusetts to southern New Jersey
provided the previously mentioned
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
requirements are followed.
