Summary
NOAA Fisheries received a request from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for the reissuance of their two previously issued IHAs to take marine mammals incidental to in-water construction activities associated with the North Jetty Maintenance and Repairs Project in Coos Bay, Oregon. The IHAs were initially issued on January 3, 2020, with the first IHA (Year 1) effective from September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021 and the second IHA (Year 2) effective from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. The project has been delayed and none of the work covered in the IHAs has been conducted.

There are no changes from the proposed authorizations in these final authorizations.
