Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 25, 2024 / Notices
numbers of marine mammals would be
taken, relative to the population size of
the affected species or stocks.
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 (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
species is proposed for authorization or
expected to result from this activity.
Therefore, NMFS has determined that
formal consultation under section 7 of
the ESA is not required for this action.
Proposed Authorization
As a result of these preliminary
determinations, NMFS proposes to issue
an IHA to Phillips 66 for conducting inwater pile driving activities at the
Phillips 66 Ferndale Refinery Dock in
Ferndale Washington from August 1,
2024 through July 31, 2025, provided
the previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated. A draft of the
proposed IHA can be found at: https://

Request for Public Comments
We request comment on our analyses,
the proposed authorization, and any
other aspect of this notice of proposed
IHA for the proposed construction
activities. We also request comment on
the potential renewal of this proposed
IHA as described in the paragraph
below. Please include with your
comments any supporting data or
literature citations to help inform
decisions on the request for this IHA or
a subsequent renewal IHA.

On a case-by-case basis, NMFS may
issue a one-time, 1-year renewal IHA
following notice to the public providing
an additional 15 days for public
comments when (1) up to another year
of identical or nearly identical activities
as described in the Description of
Proposed Activity section of this notice
is planned or (2) the activities as
described in the Description of
Proposed Activity section of this notice
would not be completed by the time the
IHA expires and a renewal would allow
for completion of the activities beyond
that described in the Dates and Duration
section of this notice, provided all of the
following conditions are met:
• A request for renewal is received no
later than 60 days prior to the needed
renewal IHA effective date (recognizing
that the renewal IHA expiration date
cannot extend beyond 1 year from
expiration of the initial IHA),
• The request for renewal must
include the following:
1. An explanation that the activities to
be conducted under the requested
renewal IHA are identical to the
activities analyzed under the initial
IHA, are a subset of the activities, or
include changes so minor (e.g.,
reduction in pile size) that the changes
do not affect the previous analyses,
mitigation and monitoring
requirements, or take estimates (with
the exception of reducing the type or
amount of take), and
2. A preliminary monitoring report
showing the results of the required
monitoring to date and an explanation
showing that the monitoring results do
not indicate impacts of a scale or nature
not previously analyzed or authorized,
and
• Upon review of the request for
renewal, the status of the affected
species or stocks, and any other
pertinent information, NMFS
determines that there are no more than
minor changes in the activities, the
mitigation and monitoring measures
will remain the same and appropriate,
and the findings in the initial IHA
remain valid.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The Office of National Marine
Sanctuaries (ONMS) is requesting
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection. The
evaluation of visitor demographics,
experiences, and opinions about visitor
centers and exhibits is needed to
support the conservation, education,
and management goals of ONMS to
strengthen and improve the

stewardship, sustainable use, and
protection of natural, cultural, and
historical resources. Under the
jurisdiction of ONMS and to satisfy
legal mandates, the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) is authorized to conduct
evaluations, such as this information
collection, under section 314(c) of the
American Innovation and
Competitiveness Act to ensure
education programs have measurable
objectives and milestones as well as
clear, documented metrics for
evaluating its programs.
For example, the Mokupa¯papa
Discovery Center (Center) is an outreach
arm of Papaha¯naumokua¯kea Marine
National Monument that reaches more
than 75,000 people each year in Hilo,
Hawai‘i. The Center was created almost
two decades ago to help raise support
for the creation of a national marine
sanctuary in the Northwestern Hawaiian
Islands. Since that time, the area has
been proclaimed a marine national
monument and the main messages we
are trying to share with the public have
changed to better reflect the new
monument status, UNESCO World
Heritage status, and the joint
management by the three co-trustees of
the monument.
ONMS recently updated its Strategic
Plan and has identified a lack of
information on the effectiveness of its
education, outreach, and
communications initiatives as they
relate to sanctuary/monument visitor
centers, exhibits (permanent or
traveling/temporary), kiosks, and
educational programming conducted by
its visitor centers and partner facilities.
We therefore are conducting an
optional exit survey to determine if
people visiting ONMS’ visitor centers
and exhibits are receiving our new
messages. ONMS is requesting to
conduct a survey to evaluate patron
acuity to determine successful concept
attainment. Conducting thorough
evaluations will aid in vital decisions
regarding exhibit renovation, new
exhibits, interpretation programs, and
educational content.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
8,750.
Estimated Time per Response: Center
Survey: 8 minutes; Visitor and Exhibit
Survey: 12 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,734.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: National Marine
Sanctuary Act.

necessary for the proper functions of the
Department of Commerce, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and
cost burden for this proposed collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Minimize the
reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this information
collection request. Before including
