• An estimate of total take based on 

proportion of the monitoring zone that 

was observed; and 

• Other human activity in the area. 

If no comments are received from 

NMFS within 30 days, that phase’s draft 

final report will constitute the final 

report. If comments are received, a final 

report for the given phase addressing 

NMFS comments must be submitted 

within 30 days after receipt of 

comments. 

In the event that personnel involved 

in the construction activities discover 

an injured or dead marine mammal, 

ADOT&PF shall report the incident to 

the Office of Protected Resources, NMFS 

and to the Alaska Regional Stranding 

Coordinator as soon as feasible. The 

report must include the following 

information: 

• Time, date, and location (latitude/ 

longitude) of the first discovery (and 

updated location information if known 

and applicable); 

• Species identification (if known) or 

description of the animal(s) involved; 

• Condition of the animal(s) 

(including carcass condition if the 

animal is dead); 

• Observed behaviors of the 

animal(s), if alive; 

• If available, photographs or video 

footage of the animal(s); and 

• General circumstances under which 

the animal was discovered. 

Preliminary Determinations 

NMFS has preliminarily concluded 

that there is no new information 

suggesting that our analysis or findings 

should change from those reached for 

the initial IHA. This includes 

consideration of the minor changes 

discussed above, as well as stock 

abundance information. The estimated 

abundance of the West Coast Transient 

and Northern Resident Killer whale 

stocks and Steller sea lion Eastern U.S. 

stock have increased slightly, whereas, 

the harbor seal, Clarence Strait stock 

decreased slightly. Based on the 

information and analysis contained here 

and in the referenced documents, NMFS 

has determined the following: (1) The 

required mitigation measures will affect 

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) 

ADOT&PF’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. 

Endangered Species Act 

Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered 

Species Act 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, in 

this case with the NMFS’ Alaska 

Regional Office. 

NMFS’ Alaska Region issued a revised 

Biological Opinion to NMFS’ Office of 

Protected Resources on December 19, 

2019 which concluded that issuance of 

IHAs to ADOT&PF is not likely to 

jeopardize the continued existence of 

Mexico DPS humpback whales. Finally, 

the regional office determined that the 

renewal request (i.e., the minor changes 

to the maximum number of piles per 

day) will not alter take or require reinitiation of the consultation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216) and the Fur Seal Act of 1966, 

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.). 

The applicant proposes to film the 

natural behaviors of California sea lions, 

gray whales, and killer whales as part of 

a wildlife documentary about the 

marine life along the Pacific Coast. 

Filmmakers would annually target up to 

910 California sea lions in California, 

408 gray whales in California, 1,200 

killer whales in Alaska, and 405 killer 

whales in California. Filming would 

occur topside from the vessel, 

underwater, and via an unmanned 

aircraft system. Up to 200 bottlenose 

dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), 75 Dall’s 

porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli), 60 harbor 

seals (Phoca vitulina), 200 short-beaked 

common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), 

200 long-beaked common dolphins 

(Delphinus capensis), 60 Northern fur 

seals (Callorhinus ursinus), 250 Pacific 

white-side dolphins (Lagenorhynchus 

obliquidens), and 200 Risso’s dolphins 

(Grampus griseus) could be 

unintentionally harassed annually 

during filming. The film will be part of 

a 10-episode natural history television 

series broadcast on a major subscription 

video on demand platform and will be 

accessible to audiences worldwide. To 

allow for scheduling changes, the 

permit would be valid until December 

31, 2022. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial 

determination has been made that the 

activity proposed is categorically 

excluded from the requirement to 

prepare an environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additions 

On 12/4/2020, the Committee for 

Purchase From People Who Are Blind 

or Severely Disabled published notice of 

proposed additions to the Procurement 

List. This notice is published pursuant 

to 41 U.S.C. 8503 (a)(2) and 41 CFR 51– 

2.3. 

After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 

the service(s) and impact of the 

additions on the current or most recent 

contractors, the Committee has 

determined that the service(s) listed 

below are suitable for procurement by 

the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 

8501–8506 and 41 CFR 51–2.4. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

I certify that the following action will 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The major factors considered for this 

certification were: 

1. The action will not result in any 

additional reporting, recordkeeping or 

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small 

organizations that will furnish the 

service(s) to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to furnish the 

service(s) to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in 

connection with the service(s) proposed 

for addition to the Procurement List. 

End of Certification 

Accordingly, the following service(s) 

are added to the Procurement List: 

Service(s) 

Service Type: Facility Support Services 

Mandatory for: National Park Service, 

National Capital Area, Multiple 

Locations, Washington, DC 

Designated Source of Supply: Portco, Inc., 

Portsmouth, VA 

Contracting Activity: National Park Service, 

NCR Regional Contracting (30000) 

The Committee finds good cause to 

dispense with the 30-day delay in the 

effective date normally required by the 

Administrative Procedure Act. See 

U.S.C. 553(d)(3). This addition to the 

Committee’s Procurement List is 

effectuated because of the expiration of 

the National Park Service’s Facility 

Support Services contract for the 

National Capital Area, Washington, DC. 

The federal customer contacted, and has 

worked diligently with the AbilityOne 

Program to fulfill this Service need 

under the AbilityOne Program. To avoid 

performance disruption, and the 

possibility that the National Park 

Service will refer its business elsewhere, 

this addition must be effective on March 

21, 2021, ensuring timely execution for 

a start date while still allowing 17 days 

for comment. Pursuant to its own 

regulation, 41 CFR 51–2.4, the 

Committee determined that no exists on 

the current contractor. The Committee 

also published a notice of proposed 

Procurement List addition in the 

Federal Register on December 4, 2021, 

and did not receive any comments from 

any interested persons, including from 

the incumbent contractor. The addition 

will not create a public hardship and 

has limited effect on the public at large, 

but rather, will create new jobs for other 

affected parties—people with significant 

disabilities in the AbilityOne Program 

who otherwise face challenges locating 

employment. Moreover, this addition 

will enable Federal customer operations 

to continue without interruption. 

Deletions 

On 1/29/2021, the Committee for 

Purchase From People Who Are Blind
