Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 102 / Thursday, May 26, 2022 / Notices 32001 

may be considered in the analysis, such 

as the temporal or spatial scale of the 

activities. 

The authorized take for each project is 

below one third of the population for all 

marine mammal stocks (Tables 10 and 

11). 

Based on the analysis contained 

herein of the proposed activities 

(including the proposed mitigation and 

monitoring measures) and the 

anticipated take of marine mammals, 

NMFS finds that small numbers of 

marine mammals would be taken 

relative to the population size of the 

affected species or stocks for the Pier 58 

Reconstruction Project. NMFS also finds 

that small numbers of marine mammals 

would be taken relative to the 

population size of the affected species 

or stocks for the Pier 63 Removal 

Project. 

Unmitigable Adverse Impact Analysis 

and Determination 

There are no relevant subsistence uses 

of the affected marine mammal stocks or 

species implicated by this action. 

Therefore, NMFS has determined that 

the total taking of affected species or 

stocks would not have an unmitigable 

adverse impact on the availability of 

such species or stocks for taking for 

subsistence purposes. 

Endangered Species Act 

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 

whenever we propose to authorize take 

for endangered or threatened species. 

No incidental take of ESA-listed 

species is authorized or expected to 

result from these activities. Therefore, 

NMFS has determined that 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 

proposed action (i.e., the issuance of 

two IHAs) 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 IHAs to the City, 

one each for their Pier 58 

Reconstruction Project and their Pier 63 

Removal Project on the Seattle 

Waterfront in Seattle, Washington (both 

effective from August 1, 2022 through 

July 31, 2023), with the previously 

discussed mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements incorporated.
