Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 91 / Tuesday, May 13, 2025 / Notices under section 7 of the ESA is not required for this action. 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 proposed 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 (incidental take authorizations 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 this IHA qualifies to be categorically excluded from further NEPA review. Authorization NMFS has issued an IHA to the Navy for the potential harassment of two marine mammal species incidental to pile driving training exercises at NBVC that includes the previously explained mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements. Dated: May 7, 2025. Kimberly Damon-Randall, Director, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
