Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 48 / Monday, March 11, 2024 / Notices
There are four marine mammal
species (northeast Pacific fin whale,
Mexico-North Pacific and western North
Pacific humpback whale, North Pacific
sperm whale, and western DPS Steller
sea lion) with confirmed occurrence in
the project area that are listed as
endangered under the ESA. The NMFS
Alaska Regional Office Protected
Resources Division issued a Biological
Opinion on March 1, 2024 under section
7 of the ESA, on the issuance of an IHA
to USAF under section 101(a)(5)(D) of
the MMPA by the NMFS Permits and
Conservation Division. The Biological
Opinion concluded that the proposed
action is not likely to jeopardize the
continued existence of northeast Pacific
fin whale, Mexico Pacific and western
North Pacific humpback whale, North
Pacific sperm whale, and western DPS
Steller sea lion and is not likely to
destroy or adversely modify western
DPS Steller sea lion critical habitat.
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 evaluate our
proposed action (i.e., the issuance of an
IHA) and alternatives 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 NAO 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 this IHA qualifies to be categorically
excluded from further NEPA review.

Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to USAF for
the potential harassment of small
numbers of 12 marine mammal species
incidental to the Eareckson Air Station
(EAS) Fuel Pier Repair in Alcan Harbor,
Shemya Island, Alaska, that includes
the previously explained mitigation,
monitoring and reporting requirements.
