harassment only, of seven marine mammal species as a result of the
specified activity. NMFS published a notice of the proposed IHA in the
Federal Register (86 FR 28752) on May 28, 2021. On July 13, 2021, NMFS
received notice from San Francisco withdrawing their IHA application
for the proposed action after they had completed all of the pile
driving associated with the project and before the expiration of their
prior IHA (85 FR 44043; July 21, 2020). Therefore, NMFS has withdrawn
its proposed IHA for the action.
