Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to Tillamook 

South Jetty Repairs in Tillamook Bay, 

Oregon 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance of incidental 

harassment authorization. 

SUMMARY: NMFS has received a request 

from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE), Portland District (Corps), for 

the re-issuance of a previously issued 

incidental harassment authorization 

(IHA) with the only change being to the 

effective dates. The initial IHA 

authorized take of five species of marine 

mammals, by Level A and Level B 

harassment, incidental to construction 

associated with the Tillamook South 

Jetty Repairs in Tillamook Bay, Oregon. 

The project has been delayed and none 

of the work covered in the initial IHA 

has been conducted. The scope of the 

activities and anticipated effects remain 

the same, authorized take numbers are 

not changed, and the required 

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting 

remains the same as included in the 

initial IHA. NMFS is, therefore, issuing 

a second identical IHA to cover the 

incidental take analyzed and authorized 

in the initial IHA. 

DATES: This authorization is effective 

from November 1, 2023, through 

October 31, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: An electronic copy of the 

final 2022 IHA previously issued to the 

Corps, the Corps’ application, and the 

Federal Register notices proposing and 

issuing the initial IHA may be obtained

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA; 

16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct the 

Secretary of Commerce (as delegated to 

NMFS) to allow, upon request, the 

incidental, but not intentional, taking of 

small numbers of marine mammals by 

U.S. citizens who engage in a specified 

activity (other than commercial fishing) 

within a specified geographical region if 

certain findings are made and either 

regulations are issued or, if the taking is 

limited to harassment, a notice of a 

proposed authorization is provided to 

the public for review. 

An authorization for incidental 

takings shall be granted if NMFS finds 

that the taking will have a negligible 

impact on the species or stock(s), will 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of the species or 

stock(s) for subsistence uses (where 

relevant), and if the permissible 

methods of taking and requirements 

pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring 

and reporting of such takings are set 

forth. 

NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible 

impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as an impact
