have not identified any extraordinary 

circumstances that would preclude this 

categorical exclusion. Accordingly, 

NMFS has determined that this action 

qualifies to be categorically excluded 

from further NEPA review. 

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 this activity. Therefore, 

NMFS has determined that formal 

consultation under section 7 of the ESA 

is not required for this action. 

Authorization 

NMFS has issued two consecutive 

IHAs to Chevron for the potential 

harassment of small numbers of the 

seven marine mammal species 

incidental to the Point Orient Wharf 

Removal in San Francisco Bay, CA, 

provided the previously mentioned 

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting 

requirements are followed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Committee was established by the 

NOAA Administrator as directed by 

Section 12304 of the Integrated Coastal 

and Ocean Observation System Act, part 

of the Omnibus Public Land 

Management Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111– 

11), and reauthorized under the 

Coordinated Ocean Observations and 

Research Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116–271). 

The Committee advises the NOAA 

Administrator and the Interagency 

Ocean Observation Committee (IOOC) 

on matters related to the responsibilities 

and authorities set forth in section 

12302 of the Integrated Coastal and 

Ocean Observation System Act of 2009 

and other appropriate matters as the 

Under Secretary refers to the Committee 

for review and advice. 

The Committee will provide advice 

on: 

(a) administration, operation, 

management, and maintenance of the 

Integrated Coastal and Ocean 

Observation System (the System); 

(b) expansion and periodic 

modernization and upgrade of 

technology components of the System; 

(c) identification of end-user 

communities, their needs for 

information provided by the System, 

and the System’s effectiveness in 

disseminating information to end-user 

communities and to the general public; 

and 

(d) additional priorities, including— 

(1) a national surface current mapping 

network designed to improve fine scale 

sea surface mapping using high 

frequency radar technology and other 

emerging technologies to address 

national priorities, including Coast 

Guard search and rescue operation 

planning and harmful algal bloom 

forecasting and detection that— 

(i) is comprised of existing high 

frequency radar and other sea surface 

current mapping infrastructure operated 

by national programs and regional 

coastal observing systems; 

(ii) incorporates new high frequency 

radar assets or other fine scale sea 

surface mapping technology assets, and 

other assets needed to fill gaps in 

coverage on United States coastlines; 

and 

(iii) follows a deployment plan that 

prioritizes closing gaps in high 

frequency radar infrastructure in the 

United States, starting with areas 

demonstrating significant sea surface 

current data needs, especially in areas 

where additional data will improve 

Coast Guard search and rescue models; 

(2) fleet acquisition for unmanned 

maritime systems for deployment and 

data integration to fulfill the purposes of 

this subtitle; 

(3) an integrative survey program for 

application of unmanned maritime 

systems to the real-time or near realtime collection and transmission of sea 

floor, water column, and sea surface 

data on biology, chemistry, geology, 

physics, and hydrography; 

(4) remote sensing and data 

assimilation to develop new analytical 

methodologies to assimilate data from 

the System into hydrodynamic models; 

(5) integrated, multi-State monitoring 

to assess sources, movement, and fate of 

sediments in coastal regions; 

(6) a multi-region marine sound 

monitoring system to be— 

(i) planned in consultation with the 

IOOC, NOAA on, the Department of the 

Navy, and academic research 

institutions; and 

(ii) developed, installed, and operated 

in coordination with NOAA, the 

Department of the Navy, and academic 

research institutions; and 

(e) any other purpose identified by the 

Administrator or the Council. 

Matters To Be Considered 

The meeting will focus on (1) a 

briefing on the IOOS Strategic Plan 

refresh and an opportunity for the 

committee to provide feedback and (2) 

updates on the committee work plan.
