Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 24, 2024 / Notices
whenever we propose to authorize take
for endangered or threatened species, in
this case with the NMFS AKRO.
Four marine mammal species, fin
whale, humpback whale (Mexico
Distinct Population Segment (DPS)),
beluga whale (Cook Inlet), and Steller
sea lion (Western DPS) occur in the
project area and are listed as threatened
or endangered under the ESA. The
NMFS AKRO issued a Biological
Opinion under section 7 of the ESA on
the issuance of two IHAs to Furie under
section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA by
NMFS OPR. The Biological Opinion
concluded that the action is not likely
to jeopardize the continued existence of
these species and is not likely to destroy
or adversely modify their 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 two
consecutive IHAs) and alternatives with
respect to potential impacts on the
human environment.
NMFS prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) and analyzed the
potential impacts to marine mammals
that would result from Furie’s natural
gas activities. A Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) was signed
on September 12, 2024. Copies of the
EA and FONSI are available at https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/
marine-mammal-protection/incidentaltake-authorizations-oil-and-gas.
Authorization
NMFS has issued two consecutive
IHAs to Furie for the potential
harassment of small numbers of 12
marine mammal species incidental to
Furie’s natural gas activities in Cook
Inlet, Alaska, that includes the
previously explained mitigation,
monitoring and reporting requirements.

Intervene, and Competing Applications
On July 22, 2024, Orcas Power & Light
Cooperative filed an application for a

activities or otherwise enter upon lands
or waters owned by others without the
owners’ express permission.
The proposed project would consist of
the following: (1) a 245 foot-long, 13
foot-wide floating tube; (2) two wings
attached to 65 foot diameter rotors with
an overall width of 165 feet; (3) two 1.2
MW turbines (4) four catenary mooring
