The final Cook Inlet ITR, that includes incidental take of northern sea otters during activities associated with the Alaska LNG Project, was published in the Federal Register on August 1, 2019 (84 FR 37716).

Based on the project description and proposed timeline, FWS does not anticipate receiving a request from the Alaska LNG Project until some time in 2020.
