Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to the Berth III 

New Mooring Dolphins Project in 

Ketchikan, Alaska 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance of incidental 

harassment authorization. 

SUMMARY: NMFS has received a request 

from the City of Ketchikan, Alaska 

(COK) for the reissuance of a previously 

issued incidental harassment 

authorization (IHA) with the only 

change being effective dates. The initial 

IHA authorized take of nine species of 

marine mammals, by Level A and Level 

B harassment, incidental to construction 

associated with the Berth III New 

Mooring Dolphins Project in Ketchikan, 

AK. The project has been delayed by 

one year and none of the work covered 

in the initial IHA has been conducted. 

The initial IHA was effective from 

October 1, 2021, through September 30, 

2022. The COK has requested reissuance 

with new effective dates of October 1, 

2022, through September 30, 2023. The 

scope of the activities and anticipated 

effects remain the same, authorized take 

numbers are not changed, and the 

required mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting remains the same as included 

in the initial IHA. NMFS is, therefore, 

issuing a second identical IHA to cover 

the incidental take analyzed and 

authorized in the initial IHA. 

DATES: This authorization is effective 

from October 1, 2022, through 

September 30, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: An electronic copy of the 

final 2021 IHA previously issued to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA; 

16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct the 

Secretary of Commerce (as delegated to 

NMFS) to allow, upon request, the 

incidental, but not intentional, taking of 

small numbers of marine mammals by 

U.S. citizens who engage in a specified 

activity (other than commercial fishing) 

within a specified geographical region if 

certain findings are made and either 

regulations are issued or, if the taking is 

limited to harassment, a notice of a 

proposed authorization is provided to 

the public for review. 

An authorization for incidental 

takings shall be granted if NMFS finds 

that the taking will have a negligible 

impact on the species or stock(s), will 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of the species or 

stock(s) for subsistence uses (where 

relevant), and if the permissible 

methods of taking and requirements 

pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring 

and reporting of such takings are set 

forth. 

NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible 

impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as an impact 

resulting from the specified activity that 

cannot be reasonably expected to, and is 

not reasonably likely to, adversely affect 

the species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival. 

The MMPA states that the term ‘‘take’’ 

means to harass, hunt, capture, kill or 

attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill 

any marine mammal. 

Except with respect to certain 

activities not pertinent here, the MMPA 

defines ‘‘harassment’’ as any act of 

pursuit, torment, or annoyance, which 

(i) has the potential to injure a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild (Level A harassment); or (ii) has 

the potential to disturb a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild by causing disruption of behavioral 

patterns, including, but not limited to, 

migration, breathing, nursing, breeding, 

feeding, or sheltering (Level B 

harassment). 

Summary of Request 

On March 3, 2021, NMFS published 

final notice of our issuance of an IHA 

authorizing take of marine mammals 

incidental to the Berth III New Mooring 

Dolphins Project (86 FR 12411). The 

effective dates of that IHA were October 

1, 2021, through September 30, 2022. 

On July 21, 2021, the COK informed 

NMFS that the project would be delayed 

by one year. None of the work identified 

in the initial IHA (e.g., pile driving and 

removal) has occurred. The COK 

submitted a request that we reissue an 

identical IHA that would be effective 

from October 1, 2022, through 

September 30, 2023, in order to conduct 

the construction work that was analyzed 

and authorized through the previously 

issued IHA. Therefore, reissuance of the 

IHA is appropriate. 

Summary of Specified Activity and 

Anticipated Impacts 

The planned activities (including 

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting), 

authorized incidental take, and 

anticipated impacts on the affected 

stocks are the same as those analyzed 

and authorized through the previously 

issued IHA. 

The purpose of the COK’s Berth III 

construction project is to accommodate 

a new fleet of large cruise ships (i.e., 

Bliss class) and to meet the needs of the 

growing cruise ship industry and its 

vessels in Southeast Alaska. The 

location, timing, and nature of the 

activities, including the types of 

equipment planned for use, are identical 

to those described in the initial IHA. 

The mitigation and monitoring are also 

as prescribed in the initial IHA. 

Species that are expected to be taken 

by the planned activity include 

humpback whale (Megaptera 

novaeangliae), minke whale 

(Balaenoptera acutorostrata), gray 

whale (Eschrichtius robustus), killer 

whale (Orcinus orca), Pacific whitesided dolphin (Lagenorhynchus 

obliquidens), Dall’s porpoise 

(Phocoenoides dalli), harbor porpoise 

(Phocoena phocoena), harbor seal 

(Phoca vitulina), and Steller sea lion 

(Eumetopias jubatus). A description of 

the methods and inputs used to estimate 

take anticipated to occur and, 

ultimately, the take that was authorized 

is found in the previous documents 

referenced above. The data inputs and 

methods of estimating take are identical 

to those used in the initial IHA. NMFS 

has reviewed recent Stock Assessment 

Reports, information on relevant 

Unusual Mortality Events, and recent 

scientific literature, and determined that 

no new information affects our original 

analysis of impacts or take estimate 

under the initial IHA. 

We refer to the documents related to 

the previously issued IHA, which 

include the Federal Register notice of 

the issuance of the initial 2021 IHA for 

the COK’s construction work (86 FR 

12411; March 3, 2021), the COK’s 

application, the Federal Register notice 

of the proposed IHA (85 FR 71612; 

November 11, 2021), and all associated 

references and documents. 

Determinations 

The COK will conduct activities as 

analyzed in the initial 2021 IHA. As 

described above, the number of 

authorized takes of the same species and 

stocks of marine mammals are identical 

to the numbers that were found to meet 

the negligible impact and small 

numbers standards and authorized 

under the initial IHA and no new 

information has emerged that would 

change those findings. The reissued 

2022 IHA includes identical required 

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting 

measures as the initial IHA, and there is 

no new information suggesting that our 

analysis or findings should change. 

Based on the information 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; and (4) the Navy’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. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

To comply with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and 

NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 

216–6A, NMFS must review our 

proposed action with respect to 

environmental consequences on the 

human environment. 

Accordingly, NMFS has determined 

that the issuance of the IHA qualifies to 

be categorically excluded from further 

NEPA review. This action is consistent 

with categories of activities identified in 

CE B4 of the Companion Manual for 

NOAA Administrative Order 216–6A, 

which do not individually or 

cumulatively have the potential for 

significant impacts on the quality of the 

human environment and for which we 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
50706 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 173 / Friday, September 10, 2021 / Notices 

have not identified any extraordinary 

circumstances that would preclude this 

categorical exclusion. 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973 (ESA: 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.) requires that each Federal 

agency insure that any action it 

authorizes, funds, or carries out is not 

likely to jeopardize the continued 

existence of any endangered or 

threatened species or result in the 

destruction or adverse modification of 

designated critical habitat. To ensure 

ESA compliance for the issuance of 

IHAs, NMFS consults internally, in this 

case with the Alaska Regional Office, 

whenever we propose to authorize take 

for endangered or threatened species. 

The effects of this proposed Federal 

action were adequately analyzed in 

NMFS’ Biological Opinion for the Berth 

III New Mooring Dolphins Project, dated 

February 11, 2021, which concluded 

that the take NMFS proposed to 

authorize through this IHA would not 

jeopardize the continued existence of 

any endangered or threatened species or 

destroy or adversely modify any 

designated critical habitat. 

Authorization 

NMFS has issued an IHA to the COK 

for in-water construction activities 

associated with the specified activity 

from October 1, 2022, through 

September 30, 2023. All previously 

described mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements from the initial 

2021 IHA are incorporated.
