work or within 90 days of the expiration 

of the IHA, whichever comes first. This 

report shall detail the monitoring 

protocol, summarize the data recorded 

during monitoring, and estimate the 

number of marine mammals that may 

have been harassed. 

(b) If comments are received from 

NMFS Office of Protected Resources on 

the draft report, a final report shall be 

submitted to NMFS within 30 days 

thereafter. If no comments are received 

from NMFS, the draft report will be 

considered to be the final report. 

(c) In the unanticipated event that the 

construction activities clearly cause the 

take of a marine mammal in a manner 

prohibited by this Authorization (if 

issued), such as an injury, serious 

injury, or mortality, WSDOT shall 

immediately cease all operations and 

immediately report the incident to the 

Office of Protected Resources, NMFS, 

and the West Coast Regional Stranding 

Coordinators. The report must include 

the following information: 

(i) Time, date, and location (latitude/ 

longitude) of the incident; 

(ii) Description of the incident; 

(iii) Status of all sound source use in 

the 24 hours preceding the incident; 

(iv) Environmental conditions (e.g., 

wind speed and direction, sea state, 

cloud cover, visibility, and water 

depth); 

(v) Description of marine mammal 

observations in the 24 hours preceding 

the incident; 

(vi) Species identification or 

description of the animal(s) involved; 

(vii) Fate of the animal(s); and 

(viii) Photographs or video footage of 

the animal (if equipment is available). 

Activities shall not resume until 

NMFS is able to review the 

circumstances of the prohibited take. 

NMFS shall work with WSDOT to 

determine what is necessary to 

minimize the likelihood of further 

prohibited take and ensure MMPA 

compliance. WSDOT may not resume 

their activities until notified by NMFS 

via letter, email, or telephone. 

(d) In the event that WSDOT 

discovers an injured or dead marine 

mammal, and the lead PSO determines 

that the cause of the injury or death is 

unknown and the death is relatively 

recent (i.e., in less than a moderate state 

of decomposition as described in the 

next paragraph), WSDOT will 

immediately report the incident to the 

Office of Protected Resources, NMFS, 

and the West Coast Regional Stranding 

Coordinators. The report must include 

the same information identified above. 

Activities may continue while NMFS 

reviews the circumstances of the 

incident. NMFS will work with WSDOT 

to determine whether modifications in 

the activities are appropriate. 

(e) In the event that WSDOT discovers 

an injured or dead marine mammal, and 

the lead PSO determines that the injury 

or death is not associated with or related 

to the activities authorized in the IHA 

(e.g., previously wounded animal, 

carcass with moderate to advanced 

decomposition, or scavenger damage), 

WSDOT shall report the incident to the 

Office of Protected Resources, NMFS, 

and the West Coast Regional Stranding 

Coordinators, within 24 hours of the 

discovery. WSDOT shall provide 

photographs or video footage (if 

available) or other documentation of the 

stranded animal sighting to NMFS and 

the Marine Mammal Stranding Network. 

WSDOT can continue its operations 

under such a case. 

7. This Authorization may be 

modified, suspended or withdrawn if 

the holder fails to abide by the 

conditions prescribed herein or if NMFS 

determines the authorized taking is 

having more than a negligible impact on 

the species or stock of affected marine 

mammals. 

Request for Public Comments 

We request comment on our analyses, 

the proposed authorization, and any 

other aspect of this Notice of Proposed 

IHA for the remaining work associated 

with the Mukilteo Multimodal Project. 

We also request comment on the 

potential for renewal of this proposed 

IHA as described in the paragraph 

below. Please include with your 

comments any supporting data or 

literature citations to help inform our 

final decision on the request for MMPA 

authorization. 

On a case-by-case basis, NMFS may 

issue a second one-year IHA without 

additional notice when (1) another year 

of identical or nearly identical activities 

as described in the Specified Activities 

section is planned or (2) the activities 

would not be completed by the time the 

IHA expires and a second IHA would 

allow for completion of the activities 

beyond that described in the Dates and 

Duration section, provided all of the 

following conditions are met: 

(a) A request for renewal is received 

no later than 60 days prior to expiration 

of the current IHA. 

(b) The request for renewal must 

include the following: 

(i) An explanation that the activities 

to be conducted beyond the initial dates 

either are identical to the previously 

analyzed activities or include changes 

so minor (e.g., reduction in pile size) 

that the changes do not affect the 

previous analyses, take estimates, or 

mitigation and monitoring 

requirements; and 

(ii) A preliminary monitoring report 

showing the results of the required 

monitoring to date and an explanation 

showing that the monitoring results do 

not indicate impacts of a scale or nature 

not previously analyzed or authorized. 

(c) Upon review of the request for 

renewal, the status of the affected 

species or stocks, and any other 

pertinent information, NMFS 

determines that there are no more than 

minor changes in the activities, the 

mitigation and monitoring measures 

remain the same and appropriate, and 

the original findings remain valid.

build the capacity of all stakeholders— 

including families, SEAs, LEAs, schoollevel staff and personnel, and 

community based organizations—to 

engage in effective partnerships that 

support student achievement and school
