22520 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 73 / Friday, April 15, 2022 / Notices 

result from this activity. Therefore, 

NMFS has determined that formal 

consultation under section 7 of the ESA 

is not required for 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 action 

(i.e., the issuance of an IHA) with 

respect to potential impacts on the 

human environment. 

This action is consistent with 

categories of activities identified in 

Categorical Exclusion B4 (IHAs with no 

anticipated serious injury or mortality) 

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 have not identified 

any extraordinary circumstances that 

would preclude this categorical 

exclusion. Accordingly, NMFS has 

determined that the issuance of the 

IHAs qualifies to be categorically 

excluded from further NEPA review 

Authorizations 

As a result of these determinations, 

NMFS has issued two distinct and 

consecutive one-year IHAs to BNSF for 

construction associated with the 

Railway Bridge 0050–0006.3 Heavy 

Maintenance Project in King County, 

Washington from July 16, 2022 to July 

15, 2023 (Year 1) and from July 16, 2023 

to July 15, 2024 (Year 2) provided the 

previously mentioned mitigation, 

monitoring, and reporting requirements 

are incorporated.
