action agency. Reinitiation of formal 

consultation was required to add NMFS 

Permits and Conservation Division as an 

action agency and to analyze changes to 

the action that were not considered in 

the February 2019 opinion (PCTS# 

AKR–2018–9806/ECO# AKRO–2018– 

01287). The original opinion considered 

the effects of only one project 

component being constructed at a time 

and did not analyze potential effects of 

concurrent pile driving which may 

cause effects to the listed species that 

were not considered in the original 

opinion; therefore, reinitiation of formal 

consultation was required. 

NMFS’ Alaska Region issued a revised 

Biological Opinion to NMFS’ Office of 

Protected Resources on December 19, 

2019 which concluded that issuance of 

the Phase 1 and Phase 2 IHAs to 

ADOT&PF is not likely to jeopardize the 

continued existence of Mexico DPS 

humpback whales. 

Authorization 

NMFS has issued an IHA to 

ADOT&PF for in-water construction 

activities associated with the specified 

activity from March 1, 2022, through 

February 28, 2023. All previously 

described mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements from the initial 

Phase 2 IHA are incorporated.
