Impact on Availability of Affected
Species for Taking for Subsistence Uses
There are no relevant subsistence uses
of marine mammals implicated by this
action.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
The Southern Resident killer whale
and humpback whale are listed as
endangered under the ESA and the
eastern distinct population segment
(DPS) of Steller sea lion is currently
listed as threatened, but NMFS has
proposed delisting of the eastern DPS
(77 FR 23209, April 18, 2012). These
species may occur within the action
area. NMFS’ Office of Protected
Resources initiated formal consultation
on the issuance of an IHA under section
101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA for the takes
of Southern Resident killer whales,
humpback whales, and the eastern DPS
of Steller sea lions. This consultation is
complete, with the determination in a
Biological Opinion that the activity is
not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of the eastern DPS of Steller
sea lions, Southern Resident killer
whales, and humpback whales. In
addition, the activity will not destroy or
adversely modify designated critical
habitat for Southern Resident killer
whales.
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as implemented by
the regulations published by the
Council on Environmental Quality (40
CFR parts 1500–1508), and NOAA
Administrative Order 216–6, NMFS
prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA) to consider the direct, indirect, and
cumulative effects to marine mammals
and other applicable environmental
resources resulting from issuance of a
one-year IHA and the potential issuance
of additional authorizations for
incidental harassment for the ongoing
project. NMFS has made a Finding of
No Significant Impact (FONSI) and,
therefore, it is not necessary to prepare
an environmental impact statement for
the issuance of an IHA to WSF for this
activity.
As a result of these determinations,
NMFS has issued an IHA to the WSF to
incidentally take marine mammals
during in-water construction activities

associated with the Port Townsend ferry
terminal transfer span replacement
project in Port Townsend, WA,
provided the previously mentioned
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
requirements are incorporated.

agencies are required to publish notice
in the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information, and
to allow 60 days for comment in
response to the notice. This notice

requirements relating to information
collected to assist the Commission in
soliciting and awarding contracts, OMB
Control No. 3038–0031.

SUMMARY:

Under the

approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. To
comply with this requirement, the
Commission is publishing notice of the
proposed collection of information
listed below.
With respect to the following
collection of information, the
Commission invites comments on:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
• The accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality of,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
Procurement Contracts, OMB Control
No. 3038–0031—Extension
The information collection consists of
procurement activities relating to
solicitations, amendments to
solicitations, requests for quotations,
construction contracts, awards of
contracts, performance bonds, and
payment information for individuals
(vendors) or contractors engaged in
providing supplies or services.
The Commission estimates the burden
of this collection of information as
follows:
