Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 23, 2021 / Notices 32901 

we propose to authorize take for 

endangered or threatened species. 

The only species listed under the ESA 

with the potential to be present in the 

action area are the Mexico Distinct 

Population Segment (DPS) and Central 

America DPS of humpback whales. The 

effects of this Federal action were 

adequately analyzed in NMFS’ 

Biological Opinion for the Seattle 

Multimodal Project at Colman Dock, 

Seattle, Washington, dated October 1, 

2018, which concluded that issuance of 

an IHA would not jeopardize the 

continued existence of any endangered 

or threatened species or destroy or 

adversely modify any designated critical 

habitat. 

Proposed Renewal IHA and Request for 

Public Comment 

As a result of these preliminary 

determinations, NMFS proposes to issue 

a Renewal IHA to WSDOT to conduct 

the Seattle Multimodal Project at 

Colman Dock Year 4 in Washington 

State, between August 1, 2021 and July 

31, 2022, 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/permit/ 

incidental-take-authorizations-undermarine-mammal-protection-act. 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.

significant deficiencies in their 

accounting system, estimating system,
