Download as PDF 53064 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 25, 2024 / Notices numbers of marine mammals would be taken, relative to the population size of the affected species 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. No incidental take of ESA-listed species is proposed for authorization or expected to result from this activity. Therefore, NMFS has determined that formal consultation under section 7 of the ESA is not required for this action. Proposed Authorization As a result of these preliminary determinations, NMFS proposes to issue an IHA to Phillips 66 for conducting inwater pile driving activities at the Phillips 66 Ferndale Refinery Dock in Ferndale Washington from August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025, provided the previously mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements are incorporated. A draft of the proposed IHA can be found at: https:// www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/ marine-mammal-protection/incidentaltake-authorizations-constructionactivities. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Request for Public Comments We request comment on our analyses, the proposed authorization, and any other aspect of this notice of proposed IHA for the proposed construction activities. We also request comment on the potential renewal of this proposed IHA as described in the paragraph below. Please include with your comments any supporting data or literature citations to help inform decisions on the request for this IHA or a subsequent renewal IHA. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Jun 24, 2024 Jkt 262001 On a case-by-case basis, NMFS may issue a one-time, 1-year renewal IHA following notice to the public providing an additional 15 days for public comments when (1) up to another year of identical or nearly identical activities as described in the Description of Proposed Activity section of this notice is planned or (2) the activities as described in the Description of Proposed Activity section of this notice would not be completed by the time the IHA expires and a renewal would allow for completion of the activities beyond that described in the Dates and Duration section of this notice, provided all of the following conditions are met: • A request for renewal is received no later than 60 days prior to the needed renewal IHA effective date (recognizing that the renewal IHA expiration date cannot extend beyond 1 year from expiration of the initial IHA), • The request for renewal must include the following: 1. An explanation that the activities to be conducted under the requested renewal IHA are identical to the activities analyzed under the initial IHA, are a subset of the activities, or include changes so minor (e.g., reduction in pile size) that the changes do not affect the previous analyses, mitigation and monitoring requirements, or take estimates (with the exception of reducing the type or amount of take), and 2. A preliminary monitoring report showing the results of the required monitoring to date and an explanation showing that the monitoring results do not indicate impacts of a scale or nature not previously analyzed or authorized, and • Upon review of the request for renewal, the status of the affected species or stocks, and any other pertinent information, NMFS determines that there are no more than minor changes in the activities, the mitigation and monitoring measures will remain the same and appropriate, and the findings in the initial IHA remain valid.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) is requesting 
revision and extension of a currently approved information collection. 
The evaluation of visitor demographics, experiences, and opinions about 
visitor centers and exhibits is needed to support the conservation, 
education, and management goals of ONMS to strengthen and improve the

[[Page 53065]]

stewardship, sustainable use, and protection of natural, cultural, and 
historical resources. Under the jurisdiction of ONMS and to satisfy 
legal mandates, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 
(NOAA) is authorized to conduct evaluations, such as this information 
collection, under section 314(c) of the American Innovation and 
Competitiveness Act to ensure education programs have measurable 
objectives and milestones as well as clear, documented metrics for 
evaluating its programs.
    For example, the Mokup[amacr]papa Discovery Center (Center) is an 
outreach arm of Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea Marine National Monument 
that reaches more than 75,000 people each year in Hilo, Hawai`i. The 
Center was created almost two decades ago to help raise support for the 
creation of a national marine sanctuary in the Northwestern Hawaiian 
Islands. Since that time, the area has been proclaimed a marine 
national monument and the main messages we are trying to share with the 
public have changed to better reflect the new monument status, UNESCO 
World Heritage status, and the joint management by the three co-
trustees of the monument.
    ONMS recently updated its Strategic Plan and has identified a lack 
of information on the effectiveness of its education, outreach, and 
communications initiatives as they relate to sanctuary/monument visitor 
centers, exhibits (permanent or traveling/temporary), kiosks, and 
educational programming conducted by its visitor centers and partner 
facilities.
    We therefore are conducting an optional exit survey to determine if 
people visiting ONMS' visitor centers and exhibits are receiving our 
new messages. ONMS is requesting to conduct a survey to evaluate patron 
acuity to determine successful concept attainment. Conducting thorough 
evaluations will aid in vital decisions regarding exhibit renovation, 
new exhibits, interpretation programs, and educational content.

II. Method of Collection

    Information collection is voluntary via completion of an ONMS 
Visitor Center and Exhibit Survey provided at the ONMS and Partner 
Outreach Facilities.
