Based on the analysis contained
herein of the likely effects of the
specified activity on marine mammals
and their habitat, and taking into
consideration the implementation of the
monitoring and mitigation measures,
NMFS determined that the total marine
mammal take from the activity will have
a negligible impact on all affected
marine mammal species or stocks.

Small Numbers
As noted previously, only take of
small numbers of marine mammals may
be authorized under sections
101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the MMPA for
specified activities other than military
readiness activities. The MMPA does
not define small numbers and so, in
practice, where estimated numbers are
available, NMFS compares the number
of individuals taken to the most
appropriate estimation of abundance of
the relevant species or stock in our
determination of whether an
authorization is limited to small
numbers of marine mammals. When the
predicted number of individuals to be
taken is fewer than one-third of the
species or stock abundance, the take is
considered to be of small numbers.
Additionally, other qualitative factors
may be considered in the analysis, such
as the temporal or spatial scale of the
activities.
For all species and stocks other than
killer whales from the West Coast
Transient stock, the authorized take is
below one-third of the stock abundance.
The authorized take of Transient killer
whales as a proportion of the stock
abundance is greater than one-third, if
all takes are assumed to occur for
different individuals. The project area
represents a small portion of the stock’s
range from Alaska to California (Muto et
al., 2019). Sighting reports from the
Orca Network support that it is
reasonable to suspect that the same
individual Transient Killer whales
would be present within the ensonified
project area during the relatively short
duration (19 days) of construction
activities. Since the construction area
represents a small portion of Transient
killer whales range and construction
would occur over a short period, it is
more likely that there will be multiple
takes of the same individuals.
Based on the analysis contained
herein of the construction activities
(including the mitigation and
monitoring measures) and the
anticipated take of marine mammals,
NMFS determined that small 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 ESA 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 expected or authorized for
this activity. Therefore, NMFS has
determined that formal consultation
under section 7 of the ESA is not
required for this action.
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 WSDOT
for the potential harassment of small
numbers of 12 marine mammal species
incidental to the Seattle Slip 3 VTS
Replacement project in Seattle,
Washington, that includes the
previously explained mitigation,
monitoring and reporting requirements.
