Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 207 / Monday, October 27, 2014 / Notices 63905 

1Commission regulations referred to herein are 

found at 17 CFR Ch. 1 (2014). 

Authorization 

NMFS has issued an LOA to SDOT 

authorizing the Level B harassment of 

marine mammals incidental to pile 

driving activities associated with the 

Elliott Bay Seawall Project at Seattle, 

Washington. Take of marine mammals 

will be minimized through 

implementation of the following 

mitigation measures: (1) Limited impact 

pile driving; (2) containment of impact 

pile driving; (3) additional sound 

attenuation measures; (4) ramp-up of 

pile-related activities; (5) marine 

mammal exclusion zones; and (6) 

shutdown and delay procedures. SDOT 

will also conduct visual monitoring and 

underwater acoustic monitoring for 

mitigation and research purposes. 

Reports will be submitted to NMFS at 

the time of request for a renewal of the 

LOA, and a final comprehensive report, 

which will summarize all previous 

reports and assess cumulative impacts, 

will be submitted before the rule 

expires. 

Issuance of this LOA is based on the 

results of the monitoring report, which 

verifies that the total number of 

potentially harassed marine mammals 

was below the authorized limits, with 

the exception of the California sea lion 

(as discussed above). Based on these 

findings and the information discussed 

in the preamble to the final rule, the 

activities described under this LOA will 

have a negligible impact on marine 

mammal stocks and will not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of the affected marine 

mammal stock for subsistence uses. No 

injury, serious injury, or mortality of 

affected species is anticipated. 

Dated: October 21, 2014.

Director, Office of Protected Resources,
