the effects of the activities for the initial 

IHA, NMFS determined that the Port of 

Bellingham’s activities would have a 

negligible impact on the affected species 

or stocks and that the authorized take 

numbers of each species or stock were 

small relative to the relevant stocks (e.g., 

less than one-third of the abundance of 

all stocks). Although some marine 

mammal abundances have changed 

since the initial IHA, none of this new 

information affects NMFS’ 

determinations supporting issuance of 

the initial IHAs. The mitigation 

measures and monitoring and reporting 

requirements as described above are 

nearly identical to the initial IHA. 

NMFS has preliminarily concluded 

that there is no new information 

suggesting that our analysis or findings 

should change from those reached for 

the initial IHA. This includes 

consideration of the estimated 

abundance of Steller sea lions and 

harbor seals decreasing slightly and 

being defined respectively. Based on the 

information and analysis contained here 

and in the referenced documents, NMFS 

has determined the following: (1) the 

required mitigation measures will effect 

the least practicable impact on marine 

mammal species or stocks and their 

habitat; (2) the authorized takes will 

have a negligible impact on the affected 

marine mammal species or stocks; (3) 

the authorized takes represent small 

numbers of marine mammals relative to 

the affected stock abundances; (4) the 

Port of Bellingham’s activities will not 

have an unmitigable adverse impact on 

taking for subsistence purposes as no 

relevant subsistence uses of marine 

mammals are implicated by this action, 

and; (5) appropriate monitoring and 

reporting requirements are included. 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

No incidental take of ESA-listed 

species is authorized or expected to 

result from this activity. Therefore, 

NMFS has determined that formal 

consultation under section 7 of the ESA 

is not required for this action. 

Proposed Renewal IHA and Request for 

Public Comment 

As a result of these preliminary 

determinations, NMFS proposes to issue 

a renewal IHA to the Port of Bellingham 

for conducting Maintenance and 

Rehabilitation of the Bellingham 

Shipping Terminal project in 

Bellingham, WA, from November 8, 

2024 to November 8, 2025, provided the 

previously described mitigation, 

monitoring, and reporting requirements 

are incorporated. A draft of the 

proposed and final initial IHA can be 

found at https://www.fisheries.

noaa.gov/action/incidental-takeauthorization-port-bellinghamsbellingham-shipping-terminalbellingham. We request comment on our 

analyses, the proposed renewal IHA, 

and any other aspect of this notice. 

Please include with your comments any 

supporting data or literature citations to 

help inform our final decision on the 

request for MMPA authorization.
