harassment) of small numbers of certain 

species of marine mammals. The 

requested take estimates represent small 

numbers relative to the affected species 

or stock sizes (i.e., all are less than or 

equal to 8%). See Table 5 for the 

requested authorized take numbers of 

marine mammals. 

Endangered Species Act 

Of the species of marine mammals 

that may occur in the survey area, 

several are listed as endangered under 

the ESA, including the humpback, sei, 

fin, blue, and sperm whales. NSF and 

ASC did not request take of endangered 

Southern right whales due to the low 

likelihood of encountering this species 

during the cruise. Under section 7 of the 

ESA, NSF, on behalf of ASC and five 

other research institutions, initiated 

formal consultation with the NMFS, 

Office of Protected Resources, 

Endangered Species Act Interagency 

Cooperation Division, on this lowenergy seismic survey. NMFS’s Office of 

Protected Resources, Permits and 

Conservation Division, also initiated 

formal consultation under section 7 of 

the ESA with the Endangered Species 

Act Interagency Cooperation Division, 

to obtain a Biological Opinion 

evaluating the effects of issuing the IHA 

under section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA 

on threatened and endangered marine 

mammals. These two consultations were 

consolidated and addressed in a single 

Biological Opinion addressing the 

effects of these actions. NMFS’s 

Biological Opinion concluded that the 

action and issuance of the IHA are not 

likely to jeopardize the continued 

existence of listed species and included 

an Incidental Take Statement 

incorporating the requirements of the 

IHA as Terms and Conditions. The 

Biological Opinion also concluded that 

designated critical habitat of these 

species does not occur in the action 

area. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

NSF and ASC provided NMFS a 

‘‘Initial Environmental Evaluation/

Environmental Assessment to Conduct 

Marine-Based Studies of the Totten 

Glacier System and Marine Record of 

Cryosphere—Ocean Dynamics,’’ (IEE/

EA) prepared by AECOM on behalf of 

NSF and ASC. The IEE/EA analyzes the 

direct, indirect, and cumulative 

environmental impacts of the planned 

specified activities on marine mammals 

including those listed as threatened or 

endangered under the ESA. NMFS, after 

review and evaluation of the NSF and 

ASC IEE/EA for consistency with the 

regulations published by the Council of 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) and 

NOAA Administrative Order 126–6, 

Environmental Review Procedures for 

Implementing the National 

Environmental Policy Act, prepared an 

independent Environmental Assessment 

(EA) titled ‘‘Environmental Assessment 

on the Issuance of an Incidental 

Harassment Authorization to the 

National Science Foundation and 

Antarctic Support Contract to Take 

Marine Mammals by Harassment 

Incidental to a Low-Energy Marine 

Geophysical Survey in the Dumont 

d’Urville Sea off the Coast of East 

Antarctica, January to March 2014.’’ 

NMFS has determined that the issuance 

of the IHA is not likely to result in 

significant impacts on the human 

environment and issued a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI). 

Authorization 

NMFS has issued an IHA to NSF and 

ASC for the take, by Level B harassment, 

of small numbers of marine mammals 

incidental to conducting a low-energy 

marine seismic survey in the Dumont 

d’Urville Sea off the coast of East 

Antarctica, provided the previously 

mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements are incorporated.
