Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 152 / Thursday, August 6, 2020 / Notices
to authorize take for endangered or
threatened species.
The only species listed under the ESA
with the potential to be present in the
action area is the Mexico DPS of
humpback whales. The effects of this
Federal action were adequately
analyzed in NMFS’ Biological Opinion
for the Mukilteo Multimodal Project,
Snohomish, Washington, dated August
1, 2017, which concluded that issuance
of an IHA would not jeopardize the
continued existence of any endangered
or threatened species or destroy or
adversely modify any designated critical
habitat. NMFS WCR has confirmed the
Incidental Take Statement (ITS) issued
in 2017 is applicable for this IHA. That
ITS authorizes the take of seven
humpback whales from the Mexico DPS.
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 IHA
qualifies to be categorically excluded
from further NEPA review.
Authorization
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
As a result of these determinations,
NMFS has issued an IHA to the WSDOT
to conduct Mukilteo Multimodal Project
Year 4 in Washington State, between
August 1, 2020, and July 31, 2021,
provided the previously prescribed
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
requirements are incorporated.

Public Comment for a Draft NOAA
Science and Technology Strategy:
Citizen Science
National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

ACTION: Notice of public comment.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
availability for public comment of the
NOAA Citizen Science draft strategy.
This strategy is intended to dramatically
expand our application of this emerging
science and technology focus area by
improving the efficiency, effectiveness
and coordination of its development
and usage across the agency.
DATES: Comments must be received by
September 8, 2020.
ADDRESSES: A copy of the draft strategy
may be downloaded or viewed on the
internet at: https://nrc.noaa.gov/NOAAScience-Technology-Focus-Areas. You
may submit public comments via email
to [email protected]. Please
include ‘‘Public Comment on Draft
NOAA Citizen Science Strategy’’ in the
subject line of the message. All personal
identifying information (e.g., name,
address, etc.), confidential business
information, or otherwise sensitive
information submitted voluntarily by
the sender is publicly accessible. NOAA
will accept anonymous comments.

SUMMARY:
Volunteer
observations have played a role in
informing our Nation’s prediction and
management of weather, oceans and
coasts for over a century. New and
emerging technologies are expanding
ways that these volunteers can
participate. NOAA is well positioned to
leverage and contribute to this growth.
Citizen science was recently named a
Science and Technology Focus Area for
the agency to ensure robust agency-wide
coordination and strong institutional
support from NOAA senior leadership
to guide efforts in this area.
This draft strategy is designed to
provide a path for NOAA to fully
leverage the power of public
participation in support of agency
mission areas. It was created to

complement NOAA’s other Science and
Technology Focus Areas (also available
at: https://nrc.noaa.gov/NOAA-ScienceTechnology-Focus-Areas)—Artificial
Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Data,
‘Omics, and Unmanned Systems—and
help the U.S. continue to lead in
developing innovative, cost-effective
and collaborative solutions to global
environmental and technology issues.
After completion of this strategy,
NOAA will develop a corresponding
Strategic Implementation Plan (or
‘‘Roadmap’’) that defines detailed action
items, deadlines, and responsibilities. In
the meantime, citizen science is already
working with the other NOAA Science
and Technology focus areas to help
improve performance in our
economically impactful missions and
setting the course to strengthen our
renowned environmental science and
technology leadership for the coming
decades.
