required mitigation measures will 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)
MOS’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.

National Environmental Policy Act
AGENCY:
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 action
(i.e., the issuance of an IHA renewal)
with respect to potential impacts on the
human environment.
This action is consistent with
categories of activities identified in
Categorical Exclusion B4 (incidental
take authorizations 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
determined that the issuance of the
initial IHA qualified to be categorically
excluded from further NEPA review.
NMFS has determined that the
application of this categorical exclusion
remains appropriate for this renewal
IHA.

Endangered Species Act
The NMFS Alaska Regional Office
issued a Biological Opinion under
section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
(ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) on the
issuance of an IHA and potential
renewal IHA to MOS under section
101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA by the NMFS
OPR. The Biological Opinion concluded
that the action is not likely to jeopardize
the continued existence of ESA-listed
humpback whales or Steller sea lions.
Renewal
NMFS has issued a renewal IHA to
MOS for the take of marine mammals
incidental to conducting the terminal
redevelopment construction in
Skagway, Alaska, from the date of
issuance through September 30, 2025.
