39726 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2018 / Notices 

(including the mitigation and 

monitoring measures) and the 

anticipated take of marine mammals, 

NMFS finds that small numbers of 

marine mammals will be taken relative 

to the population sizes of the affected 

species or stocks. 

Unmitigable Adverse Impact Analysis 

and Determination 

There are no relevant subsistence uses 

of the affected marine mammal stocks or 

species implicated by this action. 

Therefore, NMFS has determined that 

the total taking of affected species or 

stocks would not have an unmitigable 

adverse impact on the availability of 

such species or stocks for taking for 

subsistence purposes. 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA of 1973 (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, in this 

case with the West Coast Regional 

Office (WCRO), whenever we propose to 

authorize take for endangered or 

threatened species. 

The Permit and Conservation Division 

consulted under section 7 of the ESA 

with the WCRO for the issuance of this 

IHA. The WCRO concluded that the take 

of marine mammals authorized here is 

not likely to jeopardize the continued 

existence of SRKW and humpback 

whales and will not result in the 

destruction or adverse modification of 

designated critical habitat. 

Authorization 

NMFS has issued an IHA to the 

Seattle DOT for the harassment of small 

numbers of marine mammals incidental 

to pile driving and removal activities for 

the Pier 62 Project (Season 2) within 

Elliott Bay, Seattle, Washington from 

August 1, 2018 to February 28, 2019, 

provided the previously mentioned 

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting 

requirements are incorporated. 

Dated: August 7, 2018.
