24926 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 87 / Thursday, May 6, 2010 / Notices 

mitigation and monitoring measures, 

NMFS preliminarily finds that 

operation, including repair and 

maintenance activities, of the Neptune 

Port will result in the incidental take of 

small numbers of marine mammals, by 

Level B harassment only, and that the 

total taking from Neptune’s proposed 

activiites will have a negligible impact 

on the affected species or stocks. 

Impact on Availability of Affected 

Species or Stock for Taking for 

Subsistence Uses 

There are no relevant subsistence uses 

of marine mammals implicated by this 

action. 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

On January 12, 2007, NMFS 

concluded consultation with MARAD 

and USCG under section 7 of the ESA 

on the proposed construction and 

operation of the Neptune LNG facility 

and issued a Biological Opinion. The 

finding of that consultation was that the 

construction and operation of the 

Neptune LNG terminal may adversely 

affect, but is not likely to jeopardize, the 

continued existence of northern right, 

humpback, and fin whales, and is not 

likely to adversely affect sperm, sei, or 

blue whales and Kemp’s ridley, 

loggerhead, green, or leatherback sea 

turtles. 

On March 2, 2010, MARAD and 

USCG sent a letter to NMFS requesting 

reinitiation of the section 7 

consultation. MARAD and USCG 

determined that certain routine planned 

operations and maintenance activities, 

inspections, surveys, and unplanned 

repair work on the Neptune Deepwater 

Port pipelines and flowlines, as well as 

any other Neptune Deepwater Port 

component (including buoys, risers/ 

umbilicals, mooring systems, and subsea manifolds), may constitute a 

modification not previously considered 

in the 2007 Biological Opinion. 

Construction of the Port facility will be 

completed by summer 2010, and, 

therefore, is no longer part of the 

proposed action. This consultation will 

be concluded prior to a determination 

on the issuance of this IHA. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 

MARAD and the USCG released a 

Final EIS/Environmental Impact Report 

(EIR) for the proposed Neptune LNG 

Deepwater Port (see ADDRESSES). A 

notice of availability was published by 

MARAD on November 2, 2006 (71 FR 

64606). The Final EIS/EIR provides 

detailed information on the proposed 

project facilities, construction methods, 

and analysis of potential impacts on 

marine mammals. 

NMFS was a cooperating agency in 

the preparation of the Draft and Final 

EISs based on a Memorandum of 

Understanding related to the Licensing 

of Deepwater Ports entered into by the 

U.S. Department of Commerce along 

with 10 other government agencies. On 

June 3, 2008, NMFS adopted the USCG 

and MARAD FEIS and issued a separate 

Record of Decision for issuance of 

authorizations pursuant to sections 

101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the MMPA for 

the construction and operation of the 

Neptune LNG Port facility. 

Proposed Authorization 

As a result of these preliminary 

determinations, NMFS proposes to 

authorize the take of marine mammals 

incidental to port commissioning and 

operations, including repair and 

maintenance activities at the Neptune 

Deepwater Port, provided the previously 

mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements are incorporated.
