Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 219 / Tuesday, November 13, 2018 / Notices

2018 IHA to the POK. Also in
compliance with NEPA and the CEQ
regulations, as well as NOAA
Administrative Order 216–6, NMFS
made a FONSI on October 24, 2016, for
issuance of the 2017–2018 IHA. These
NEPA documents are available at
https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/
national/marine-mammal-protection/
incidental-take-authorizationsconstruction-activities.
Since this IHA covers the same work
covered in the 2017–2018 IHA, NMFS
has reviewed our previous EA and
FONSI, and has determined that our
current 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 have not identified
any extraordinary circumstances that
would preclude this categorical
exclusion. Accordingly, NMFS has
determined that the issuance of the IHA
qualifies to be categorically excluded
from further NEPA review. We have
reviewed all comments submitted in
response to this notice prior to
concluding our NEPA process and
making our final decision on the 2018–
2019 IHA request.
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
whenever we propose to authorize take
for endangered or threatened species.
No incidental take of ESA-listed marine
mammal species is expected to result
from this activity, and none would be
authorized. Therefore, NMFS has
determined that consultation under
section 7 of the ESA is not required for
this action.

Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to POK for
the incidental take of marine mammals
due to in-water construction work
associated with the POK Expansion
Project for a period of one year,
provided the previously mentioned
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
requirements are incorporated.
