from the pile, respectively. No other 

pinniped haulout site exists in the 

vicinity of the proposed project area. 

Therefore, pinnipeds hauled out at the 

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard security 

barrier will not be affected. 

For the reasons discussed in this 

document, NMFS has determined that 

the impact of vibratory pile removal and 

pile driving associated with wingwall 

replacements at Bremerton Ferry 

Terminal would result, at worst, in the 

Level B harassment of small numbers of 

six marine mammals that inhabit or visit 

the area. While behavioral 

modifications, including temporarily 

vacating the area around the 

construction site, may be made by these 

species to avoid the resultant visual and 

acoustic disturbance, the availability of 

alternate areas within Washington 

coastal waters and haul-out sites has led 

NMFS to determine that this action will 

have a negligible impact on these 

species in the vicinity of the proposed 

construction area. 

In addition, no take by TTS, Level A 

harassment or death is anticipated and 

harassment takes should be at the 

lowest level practicable due to 

incorporation of the mitigation and 

monitoring measures mentioned 

previously in this document. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 

NMFS prepared an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) and analyzed the 

potential impacts to marine mammals 

that would result from WSDOT’s 

wingwalls replacement work at the 

Bremerton Ferry Terminal. A Finding of 

No Significant Impact (FONSI) was 

signed on June 10, 2013. A copy of the 

EA and FONSI is available upon request 

(see ADDRESSES). 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

The humpback whale, Southern 

Resident stock of killer whale, and the 

eastern population of Steller sea lions, 

are the only marine mammal species 

currently listed under the ESA that 

could occur in the vicinity of WSDOT’s 

construction projects. NMFS’ Permits 

and Conservation Division consulted 

with NMFS’ Northwest Regional Office 

Division of Protected Resources under 

section 7 of the ESA on the issuance of 

an IHA to WSDOT under section 

101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA for this 

activity. A Biological Opinion was 

issued on February 19, 2013, which 

concludes that issuance of the IHA is 

not likely to jeopardize the continued 

existence of the ESA-listed marine 

mammal species. NMFS will issue an 

Incidental Take Statement under this 

Biological Opinion which contains 

reasonable and prudent measures with 

implementing terms and conditions to 

minimize the effects of take of listed 

species. 

Authorization 

NMFS has issued an IHA to WSDOT 

for the potential harassment of small 

numbers of six marine mammal species 

incidental to wingwalls replacement 

construction activities at the Bremerton 

Ferry Terminal in Washington State, 

provided the previously mentioned 

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting 

requirements are incorporated.

Comments 

A 60-day Notice requesting public 

comment was published in the Federal 

Register on December 10, 2012. This 

comment period ended on February 10, 

2013. A total of 99 public comments 

were received from this Notice. 

Summary of Comments by Category and 

CNCS Response 

Category 1: Statements of Support for 

a PPR Update. A total of 26 comments 

included statements of support for an 

updated PPR: Nineteen commenters 

support updating the PPR to align with 

new performance measures and 7 

commenters shared that the PPR is a 

valuable reporting tool. 

Response: CNCS agrees with the need 

to align the PPR with new performance 

measures and also the overall value of 

the PPR. 

Category 2: Burden. CNCS received 72 

comments citing semi-annual reporting 

will increase reporting burden, and that 

CNCS should retain an annual reporting 

cycle. Nineteen comments stated that a 

semi-annual PPR would take too much 

time away from other project 

management responsibilities. Four of 

the 19 comments specifically noted that 

grantee time is needed to shift service 

activities to new National Performance 

Measures or to focus on RSVP 

Competition. Eight of the 19 comments 

noted that a Senior Corps project 

director’s time and project management 

abilities are already stretched due to 

recent budget cuts which have resulted 

in reduced staff time and reduced travel 

budgets 

Response: CNCS recognizes the time 

needed to support other Senior Corps 

project management responsibilities, 

and agree that requesting a full PPR 

every six months does not result in 

benefits that outweigh the additional 

administrative burden imposed. CNCS 

proposes the following refinements to 

semi-annual reporting: Only grantees 

that have adopted the new standard 

performance measures will be required 

to report semi-annually. These grantees 

comprise 33 percent of the Senior Corps 

portfolio in FY 2013; 66 percent in FY 

2014; and 100 percent in FY 2015. The 

increase in percentage is due to the 

phased in approach of the required 

performance measures. In this way, 

grantees not yet operating under the 

performance measures requirements 

will retain their original annual 

reporting cycle until the time that they 

compete for a new grant (RSVP only) or 

submit a renewal for a new grant (FGP 

and SCP only). 

CNCS will require only demographic 

and performance measure output data 

reports on the mid-year PPR, rather than 

the full PPR. Completing only the 

sections that address the performance 

and results will provide the data needed 

by CNCS to gauge progress, but will 

abbreviate the mid-year PPR 

submission. 

Category 3: Lack of useful data to 

justify increase in burden. A total of 26 

comments stated that a semi-annual PPR 

is unnecessary because performance 

measure data includes an annual target. 

Thus, a semi-annual report would not 

yield useful data. Eighteen of these 

comments stated that information 

reported on a semi-annual PPR would 

unfairly be used as a measure towards 

progress on achieving final targets. Two 

of the comments stated that commenters 

believed CNCS would not use the data 

reported. 

Response: CNCS recognizes that 

performance measure targets are a goal 

to be achieved at the end of a 12-month 

period. However, information reported 

on a semi-annual PPR provides 

information used to determine whether 

the project is on track to achieve the 

target on time. The data will be used to 

determine adequate progress during the 

project period to assess whether an 

administrative renewal or competition 

is the appropriate next step for RSVP 

projects. The data submitted at the midpoint each year will also allow CNCS to 

access data needed for key documents, 

such as the Congressional Budget 

Submission. 

Category 4: Burden on volunteer 

stations, which are the organizations 

where the volunteers are placed. A total 

of 15 comments expressed concern 

about an additional reporting burden on 

volunteer stations. One comment stated 

that the project would be at risk of 

losing volunteer stations due to an 

increased reporting burden. Two 

comments cited technology issues at the 

volunteer stations may present 

challenges to gathering reporting 

information from volunteer stations. 

Response: CNCS recognizes the 

potential increase in volunteer station 

burden due to additional reporting. 

Rather than asking for a full PPR to be 

submitted every six months, CNCS will 

compromise with a requirement for only 

demographic and output information to 

be reported on the six-month PPR.
