Unmitigable Adverse Impact Analysis
and Determination
There are no relevant subsistence uses
of the affected marine mammal stocks or
species implicated by this action.
Therefore, NMFS has determined that
the total taking of affected species or
stocks would not have an unmitigable
adverse impact on the availability of
such species or stocks for taking for
subsistence purposes.
Endangered Species Act
Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (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, in this case with the NMFS
Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries
Office (GARFO), whenever we authorize
take for endangered or threatened
species.
The NMFS Office of Protected
Resources is authorizing the incidental
take of three species of marine mammals
which are listed under the ESA: The
North Atlantic right, fin, and sperm
whale. BOEM consulted with NMFS
GARFO under section 7 of the ESA on
commercial wind lease issuance and
site assessment activities on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf in
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York
and New Jersey Wind Energy Areas.
NMFS GARFO issued a Biological
Opinion concluding that these activities
may adversely affect but are not likely
to jeopardize the continued existence of
the North Atlantic right, fin, and sperm
whale. The Biological Opinion can be
found online at:
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/
marine-mammal-protection/incidentaltake-authorizations-other-energyactivities-renewable. Upon request from
the NMFS Office of Protected Resources,
NMFS GARFO has issued an amended
incidental take statement associated
with this Biological Opinion to include
the takes of the ESA-listed marine
mammal species authorized through
this IHA.
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

proposed action (i.e., the issuance of an
incidental harassment authorization)
with respect to potential impacts on the
human environment.
Accordingly, NMFS prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) and
analyzed the potential impacts to
marine mammals that would result from
the project. A Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI) was signed on April 25,
2018. A copy of the EA and FONSI is
available on the internet at:
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/
marine-mammal-protection/incidentaltake-authorizations-other-energyactivities-renewable.
Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to Statoil for
conducting marine site characterization
surveys offshore of New York and along
potential submarine cable routes for a
period of one year, provided the
previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated.

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: West Coast Region Vessel
Identification Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0355.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,203.
Average Hours per Response: 15
minutes.
Burden Hours: 180.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The success of fisheries management
programs depends significantly on
regulatory compliance. The vessel
identification requirement is essential to
facilitate enforcement. The ability to
link fishing (or other activity) to the
vessel owner or operator is crucial to
enforcement of regulations issued under
the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act. A vessel’s official number is
required to be displayed on the port and
starboard sides of the deckhouse or hull,
and on a weather deck. It identifies each
vessel and should be visible at distances
at sea and in the air. Law enforcement
personnel rely on vessel marking
information to assure compliance with
fisheries management regulations.
Vessels that qualify for particular
fisheries are also readily identified, and
this allows for more cost-effective
enforcement. Cooperating fishermen
also use the vessel numbers to report
suspicious or non-compliant activities
that they observe in unauthorized areas.
The identifying number on fishing
vessels is used by the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS), the United
States Coast Guard (USCG), and other
marine agencies in issuing regulations,
prosecutions, and other enforcement
actions necessary to support sustainable
fisheries behaviors as intended in
regulations. Regulation-compliant
fishermen ultimately benefit from these
requirements, as unauthorized and
illegal fishing is deterred and more
burdensome regulations are avoided.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organization.
Frequency: Every five years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Commerce collections currently under
