Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 91 / Thursday, May 9, 2024 / Notices

on the subsistence uses of the affected
marine mammal species or stocks by
Alaskan Natives. NMFS has defined
‘‘unmitigable adverse impact’’ in 50 CFR
216.103 as an impact resulting from the
specified activity: (1) That is likely to
reduce the availability of the species to
a level insufficient for a harvest to meet
subsistence needs by: (i) Causing the
marine mammals to abandon or avoid
hunting areas; (ii) Directly displacing
subsistence users; or (iii) Placing
physical barriers between the marine
mammals and the subsistence hunters;
and (2) That cannot be sufficiently
mitigated by other measures to increase
the availability of marine mammals to
allow subsistence needs to be met.
Sitka Channel and other nearby areas
are within the traditional territory of the
Sheet1ka´ K
Ò wa´an. Alaska natives have
traditionally harvested marine mammals
in Sitka, however today a majority of the
subsistence harvest is of species other
than marine mammals. Alaska
Department Fish and Game reported
that in 2013, around 11 percent of Sitka
households used subsistence-caught
marine mammals (ADF&G, 2023),
however this is the most recent data
available and there has not been a
survey since.
The project is not likely to adversely
impact the availability of any marine
mammal species or stocks that are
commonly used for subsistence
purposes or impact subsistence harvest
of marine mammals in the region
because:
• There is no recent recorded
subsistence harvest of marine mammals
in the area;
• Construction activities are
temporary and localized primarily
within Sitka Channel;
• Construction will not take place
during the herring spawning season
when subsistence species are more
active;
• Mitigation measures will be
implemented to minimize disturbance
of marine mammals in the action area;
and
• The project will not result in
significant changes to availability of
subsistence resources.
Based on the description of the
specified activity, the measures
described to minimize adverse effects
on the availability of marine mammals
for subsistence purposes, and the
mitigation and monitoring measures;
NMFS has determined that, specific to
each of the 2 consecutive years of
planned activity, there will not be an
unmitigable adverse impact on
subsistence uses from CBS’s activities.

Endangered Species Act
There are two marine mammals
(western DPS Steller sea lion and
Mexico- North Pacific DPS humpback
whale) with the potential to occur in the
project area that are listed as
endangered or threatened under the
ESA. The NMFS Alaska Regional Office
issued a Biological Opinion under
section 7 of the ESA on the issuance of
two IHAs to CBS under section
101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA by the NMFS
OPR. The Biological Opinion concluded
that this action is not likely to
jeopardize the continued existence of
either DPS. In addition, the action
authorized no take of the Mexico- North
Pacific DPS humpback whale and is not
likely to adversely affect any critical
habitat.
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 NAO 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 these IHAs qualifies to be
categorically excluded from further
NEPA review.
Authorization
NMFS has issued two consecutive
IHAs to CBS for conducting Seaplane
Base construction in Sitka, Alaska,
starting in July 2024 for Phase I and July
2025 for Phase II, provided the
previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated. The issued IHAs can
be found at: https://

Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
the 492nd Special Operations Wing
Beddown at Davis-Monthan Air Force
Base, Arizona
Department of the Air Force,
lead Agency, Department of Defense.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:

The Department of the Air
Force (DAF) is issuing this Notice of
Intent (NOI), in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), to prepare an environmental
impact statement (EIS) to evaluate the
potential environmental impacts
associated with transformation of the
492nd Special Operations Wing (492
SOW) into an Air Force Special
Operations Command (AFSOC) Power
Projection Wing (PPW) at DavisMonthan Air Force Base (AFB), Arizona.
This PPW would include the 492 SOW,
the 6th and 319th Special Operations
Squadrons, an MC–130J squadron,
activation of an Intelligence Squadron
(IS) under the Air Combat Command
(ACC) 361st Intelligence, Surveillance,
and Reconnaissance Group (361 ISRG),
and Special Tactics and Special
Operations Theater Air Operations
Squadrons. The beddown of the 492
SOW is planned as a replacement
mission for the A–10 aircraft at DavisMonthan as they retire. There will likely
be a short-term temporary overlap of the
492 SOW mission with the A–10s until
their retirement is complete.
DATES: A public scoping period will
take place starting from the date of this
NOI publication in the Federal Register
and will last for 30 days. Comments will
be accepted at any time during the
environmental impact analysis process;
however, to ensure the DAF has
sufficient time to consider public
scoping comments during preparation of
the Draft EIS, please submit comments
within the 30-day scoping period.
The DAF invites the public,
stakeholders, and other interested
parties to attend the public scoping
meeting. The in-person scoping meeting
will be held on May 30 at the Tucson
Convention Center, 260 S. Church Ave.,
Tucson, Arizona 85701. The in-person
scoping meeting will take place from
5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. local time. A
virtual scoping meeting is scheduled for
June 4 at 5:30 p.m. local time.
Information on how to attend the virtual
scoping meeting is available on the
