less impactful than, numerous other 

construction activities conducted in San 

Francisco Bay and in the Puget Sound 

region, which have taken place with no 

reported injuries or mortality to marine 

mammals, and no known long-term 

adverse consequences from behavioral 

harassment. Repeated exposures of 

individuals to levels of sound that may 

cause Level B harassment are unlikely 

to result in hearing impairment or to 

significantly disrupt foraging behavior. 

Thus, even repeated Level B harassment 

of some small subset of the overall stock 

is unlikely to result in any significant 

realized decrease in viability for the 

affected individuals, and thus would 

not result in any adverse impact to the 

stock as a whole. Level B harassment 

will be reduced to the level of least 

practicable impact through use of 

mitigation measures described herein 

and, if sound produced by project 

activities is sufficiently disturbing, 

animals are likely to simply avoid the 

area—which is not believed to provide 

any habitat of special significance— 

while the activity is occurring. 

In summary, this negligible impact 

analysis is founded on the following 

factors: (1) The possibility of injury, 

serious injury, or mortality may 

reasonably be considered discountable; 

(2) the anticipated incidences of Level B 

harassment consist of, at worst, 

temporary modifications in behavior; (3) 

the absence of any significant habitat 

within the project area, including 

rookeries, significant haul-outs, or 

known areas or features of special 

significance for foraging or 

reproduction; (4) the presumed efficacy 

of the proposed mitigation measures in 

reducing the effects of the specified 

activity to the level of least practicable 

impact. In addition, neither of these 

stocks are listed under the ESA or 

considered depleted under the MMPA. 

In combination, we believe that these 

factors, as well as the available body of 

evidence from other similar activities, 

demonstrate that the potential effects of 

the specified activity will have only 

short-term effects on individuals. The 

specified activity is not expected to 

impact rates of recruitment or survival 

and will therefore not result in 

population-level impacts. 

Preliminary Determinations 

The number of marine mammals 

actually incidentally harassed by the 

project will depend on the distribution 

and abundance of marine mammals in 

the vicinity of the survey activity. 

However, we find that the number of 

potential takings proposed for 

authorization (by level B harassment 

only), which we consider to be a 

conservative, maximum estimate, is 

small relative to the relevant regional 

stock or population numbers, and that 

the effect of the activity will be 

mitigated to the level of least practicable 

impact through implementation of the 

mitigation and monitoring measures 

described previously. Based on the 

analysis contained herein of the likely 

effects of the specified activity on 

marine mammals and their habitat, we 

preliminarily find that the total taking 

from the activity will have a negligible 

impact on the affected species or stocks. 

Impact on Availability of Affected 

Species for Taking for Subsistence Uses 

There are no relevant subsistence uses 

of marine mammals implicated by this 

action. Therefore, we have preliminarily 

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) 

There are no ESA-listed marine 

mammals expected to occur in the 

action area. Therefore, the Navy has not 

requested authorization of the 

incidental take of ESA-listed species 

and no such authorization is proposed 

for issuance; therefore, no consultation 

under the ESA is required. National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

The Navy has prepared a Draft 

Environmental Assessment (EA; Pier 6 

Pile Replacement Naval Base Kitsap) in 

accordance with NEPA and the 

regulations published by the Council on 

Environmental Quality. We have posted 

it on the NMFS Web site (see 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION) 

concurrently with the publication of 

this proposed IHA. NMFS will 

independently evaluate the EA and 

determine whether or not to adopt it. 

We may prepare a separate NEPA 

analysis and incorporate relevant 

portions of the Navy’s EA by reference. 

Information in the Navy’s application, 

EA, and this notice collectively provide 

the environmental information related 

to proposed issuance of the IHA for 

public review and comment. We will 

review all comments submitted in 

response to this notice as we complete 

the NEPA process, including a decision 

of whether to sign a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI), prior to a 

final decision on the IHA request. 

Proposed Authorization 

As a result of these preliminary 

determinations, we propose to authorize 

the take of marine mammals incidental 

to the Navy’s pier maintenance project, 

provided the previously mentioned 

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting 

requirements are incorporated.

considered for this certification were: 

1. The action will not result in additional 

reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance 

requirements for small entities. 

2. The action may result in authorizing 

small entities to furnish the products to the 

Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish the 

objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act (41 

USC 8501–8506) in connection with the 

products deleted from the Procurement List.
