abundance estimate, NMFS will
determine that the numbers of marine
mammals taken of a species or stock are
small (see 89 FR 31535, May 24, 2024).
For more information please see NMFS’
discussion of small numbers in the 2021
final rule (86 FR 5438, January 19,
2021).
The take numbers for authorization
are determined as described in the
Federal Register notice of issuance (90
FR 11947, March 13, 2025).
Subsequently, the total incidents of
harassment for each species are
multiplied by scalar ratios (except in the
cases where the take estimate has been

rounded up to reflect a group size) to
produce a derived product that better
reflects the number of individuals likely
to be taken within a survey (as
compared to the total number of
instances of take), accounting for the
likelihood that some individual marine
mammals may be taken on more than 1
day (see 86 FR 5404, January 19, 2021).
The output of this scaling, where
appropriate, is incorporated into
adjusted total take estimates that are the
basis for NMFS’ small numbers
determinations, as depicted in table 1.
This product is used by NMFS in
making the necessary small numbers

determinations through comparison
with the best available abundance
estimates (see discussion at 86 FR 5391,
January 19, 2021). For this comparison,
NMFS’ approach is to use the maximum
theoretical population, determined
through review of current stock
assessment reports (SAR; https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/
marine-mammal-protection/marinemammal-stock-assessments) and modelpredicted abundance information
(https://seamap.env.duke.edu/models/
Duke/GOM/). Information supporting
the small numbers determinations is
provided in table 1.

1 Scalar ratios were applied to ‘‘Authorized Take’’ values as described at 86 FR 5322, 5404 (January 19, 2021) to derive scaled take numbers
shown here.
2 Best abundance estimate. For most taxa, the best abundance estimate for purposes of comparison with take estimates is considered here to
be the model-predicted abundance (Garrison et al., 2023). For Rice’s whale, Atlantic spotted dolphin, spinner dolphin, and Risso’s dolphin, the
estimated SAR abundance estimate is used.
3 Modeled take of one increased to account for potential encounter with a group of average size (Maze-Foley and Mullin, 2006).
4 Includes 10 takes by Level A harassment and 193 takes by Level B harassment. Scalar ratio is applied to takes by Level B harassment only;
small numbers determination made on basis of scaled Level B harassment take plus authorized Level A harassment take.
5 Modeled take of 8 increased to account for potential encounter with a group of average size (Maze-Foley and Mullin, 2006).
6 The ‘‘blackfish’’ guild includes melon-headed whales, false killer whales, pygmy killer whales, and killer whales.

Based on the analysis contained
herein of Viridien’s proposed survey
activity described in its LOA
application and the anticipated take of
marine mammals, NMFS finds that
small numbers of marine mammals will
be taken relative to the affected species
or stock sizes (i.e., less than one-third of
the best available abundance estimate)
and therefore the taking is of no more
than small numbers.

NMFS has determined that the level
of taking for this LOA request is
consistent with the findings made for
the total taking allowable under the
incidental take regulations and that the
amount of take authorized under the
LOA is of no more than small numbers.
Accordingly, we have issued an LOA to
Viridien authorizing the take of marine

Abstract: The National and
Community Service Act of 1990, as
amended by the Serve America Act of
2009, requires AmeriCorps grantees and
subgrantees to conduct a National
Service Criminal History Check on
individuals in covered positions before
they begin service and to maintain
documentation that the individuals
were screened according to statutory
requirements and are not prohibited
from serving in the covered position.
AmeriCorps and its grantees must
ensure that national service
beneficiaries are protected from harm,
and the recordkeeping requirements of
the final rule are critical to that
responsibility. AmeriCorps also seeks to
continue using the currently approved
information collection until the revised
information collection is approved by
OMB. The currently approved

The Department of the Army
(Army) signed the Record of Decision
(ROD) on July 31, 2025, for the Army
Training Land Retention at Po¯hakuloa
Training Area (PTA) Environmental

selected Alternative 2 (the preferred
alternative in the Final EIS), retention of
19,700 acres of state-owned land at
PTA. The ROD completes the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
process for the action.

telephone at (808) 787–2140 or by email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
ROD identifies the Army’s selected
alternative, the basis for its selection,
and the mitigation measures the Army
commits to implement with the selected
alternative. The ROD is based on the
results of the Final EIS, which analyzed
the environmental impacts associated
with the proposed action. The Army
published the Final EIS on April 18,
2025.
The Final EIS evaluated the potential
impacts of a range of reasonable
alternatives: (1) Maximum Retention (of
approximately 22,750 acres); (2)
Modified Retention (of approximately
19,700 acres); and (3) Minimum
Retention and Access (of approximately
10,100 acres and 11 miles of roads and
training trails). The Final EIS also
analyzed the potential impacts of the No
Action Alternative, under which Army
use of the land would cease altogether
when the lease expires in 2029. The
Army selects Alternative 2.
The Final EIS analyzed: land use;
biological resources; historic and
cultural resources and cultural
practices; hazardous substances and
hazardous wastes; air quality and
greenhouse gases; noise; geology,
topography, and soils; water resources;
socioeconomics; environmental justice;
transportation and traffic; airspace;
electromagnetic spectrum; utilities; and
human health and safety.
The Final EIS was prepared according
to certain Executive Orders, the Council
on Environmental Quality’s NEPA
implementing regulations, and the
Army’s NEPA implementing
regulations, which are now rescinded.
Because analysis regarding greenhouse
gases and environmental justice was
already provided to the public for
comment in the Second Draft EIS, such
analysis was included in the Final EIS
for transparency and continuity.
The Army’s decision to select
Alternative 2 was based on
consideration of the full analyses of all
alternatives contained in the Final EIS,
comments provided during formal
public comment and review periods,
and an evaluation of the ability of each
alternative to meet the purpose of and
need for the proposed action. The Army
will proceed with Alternative 2, as
