but these impacts will be temporary. 

Furthermore, there are no feeding areas, 

rookeries, or mating grounds known to 

be biologically important to marine 

mammals within the proposed project 

area. There is also no designated critical 

habitat for any ESA-listed marine 

mammals. The mitigation measures are 

expected to reduce the number and/or 

severity of takes by (1) giving animals 

the opportunity to move away from the 

sound source before the pile driver 

reaches full energy; (2) reducing the 

intensity of exposure within a certain 

distance by reducing the DP vessel 

thruster power; and (3) preventing 

animals from being exposed to 

increased sound levels within 200 m of 

vibratory pile driving. 

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 finds that the total marine 

mammal take from DWBIT’s BITS 

project will have a negligible impact on 

the affected marine mammal species or 

stocks. 

Small Numbers 

The number of individual animals 

that may be exposed to sound levels 

above 120 dB is small relative to the 

species or stock size (Table 6). The 

authorized take numbers are the 

maximum numbers of animals that are 

expected to be harassed during the BITS 

project; it is possible that some of these 

exposures may occur to the same 

individual. NMFS finds that small 

numbers of marine mammals will be 

taken relative to the populations of the 

affected species or stocks. 

Impact on Availability of Affected 

Species for Taking for Subsistence Uses 

There are no relevant subsistence uses 

of marine mammals implicated by this 

action. Therefore, NMFS has 

determined that the total taking of 

affected species or stocks will not have 

an unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of such species or stocks for 

taking for subsistence purposes. 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

There are three marine mammal 

species that are listed as endangered 

under the ESA: Fin whale, humpback 

whale, and North Atlantic right whale. 

Under section 7 of the ESA, the USACE 

(the federal permitting agency for the 

actual BITS construction) consulted 

with NMFS on the proposed BITS 

project. NMFS also consulted internally 

on the issuance of an IHA under section 

101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA for this 

activity. NMFS Northeast Region (now 

known as the Greater Atlantic Region) 

issued a Biological Opinion on January 

30, 2014, concluding that the Block 

Island Wind Farm project (which 

includes the BITS) may adversely affect 

but is not likely to jeopardize the 

continued existence of fin whale, 

humpback whale, or North Atlantic 

right whale. The effects of the IHA on 

listed marine mammal species fall 

within the scope of effects analyzed in 

the Biological Opinion for the Block 

Island Wind Farm project. Therefore, a 

new consultation is not required for 

issuance of this IHA. Following the 

issuance of the IHA, an incidental take 

statement (ITS), with associated 

reasonable and prudent measures and 

terms and conditions, will be issued to 

exempt any take of listed marine 

mammal species from the take 

prohibition in section 9 of the ESA. 

Under the terms of section 7(b)(4) and 

section 7(o)(2) of the ESA, taking that 

results from, but is not the purpose of 

the agency action is not considered to be 

prohibited under the ESA provided that 

such taking is in compliance with the 

terms and conditions of the authorized 

Incidental Take Statement. The ITS will 

be appended to the January 30, 2014 

Biological Opinion. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as implemented by 

the regulations published by the 

Council on Environmental Quality (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508), and NOAA 

Administrative Order 216–6, NMFS 

prepared an Environmental Assessment 

(EA) analyzing the potential impacts of 

the issuance of an IHA for the proposed 

activities. The final EA was prepared in 

August 2014 and NMFS made a Finding 

of No Significant Impact for this action. 

These documents are available on our 

Web site at http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/

pr/permits/incidental.htm#applications. 

Accordingly, an Environmental Impact 

Statement is not required and none was 

prepared.

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Privilege Management Program 

(PMP); DD Form 2249A and Pentagon 

Tours Web site; OMB Control Number 

0704–TBD. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirement is necessary to 

facilitate background investigations and 

properly assign privileges to the 

customer utilized within the Pentagon 

Reservation and National Capital Region 

(NCR). The collection is also required to 

facilitate verification of background 

investigations for individuals applying 

for access to the Pentagon in connection 

with Pentagon Visitor Tours. 

The Visitor & Parking Management 

feature of the Privilege Management 

Program (PMP—Access Control System) 

utilizes DD Form 2249A as evidence 

that the customer has been properly 

vetted and provides justification for 

access to the locations needed to 

perform their occupational duties. The 

information collection requirement is 

necessary to facilitate background 

investigations and properly assign 

physical access and parking privileges 

to the customer utilized within the 

Pentagon Reservation. 

The Electronic Security System of the 

PMP is related to the Pentagon Tours 

feature of the PMP whereby the 

information is provided by the 

individual requesting the tour and is 

entered directly into the PFPA Web site.
