AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard has issued a
temporary deviation from the operating
schedule that governs the Tower
Drawbridge across the Sacramento
River, mile 59.0 at Sacramento, CA. The
deviation is necessary to allow the
community to participate in the
Sactown 10 Race. This deviation allows
the bridge to remain in the closed-tonavigation position during the deviation
period.
DATES: This deviation is effective from
5 a.m. to 11 a.m. on April 2, 2017.

deviation, [USCG–2017–0226], is

California
Department of Transportation has
requested a temporary change to the
operation of the Tower Drawbridge,
mile 59.0, over Sacramento River, at
Sacramento, CA. The drawbridge
navigation span provides a vertical
clearance of 30 feet above Mean High
Water in the closed-to-navigation
position. The draw operates as required
by 33 CFR 117.189(a). Navigation on the
waterway is commercial and
recreational.
The drawspan will be secured in the
closed-to-navigation position 5 a.m. to
11 a.m. on April 2, 2017, to allow the
community to participate in the
Sactown 10 Race. This temporary
deviation has been coordinated with the
waterway users. No objections to the
proposed temporary deviation were
raised.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed position may do so
at any time. The bridge will be able to
open for emergencies and there is no
immediate alternate route for vessels to
pass. The Coast Guard will also inform
the users of the waterway through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners
of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so that vessel operators can
arrange their transits to minimize any
impact caused by the temporary
deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

ACTION:
14995
Final rule.
At the request of Roy E.
Henderson (Petitioner), licensee of FM
Station KNUZ (FM), San Saba, Texas,
the Audio Division amends the FM
Table of Allotments by substituting
Channel 277A for Channel 224A at
Mullin, Texas. The purpose of this
change is to facilitate and grant
Petitioner’s hybrid application that
KNUZ (FM) be modified to operate on
Channel 277A rather than Channel
224A at San Saba, Texas. A staff
engineering analysis indicates that
Channel 277A can be substituted for
Channel 224A at Mullin, Texas, as
proposed, consistent with the minimum
distance separation requirements of the
Commission’s rules with a site
restriction 3.1 km (1.9 miles) north of
the community. The reference
coordinates are 31–35–00 NL and 98–
40–31 WL.

hereby issues regulations to govern the
incidental taking of marine mammals
incidental to space vehicle and missile
launch operations at the Pacific
Spaceport Complex Alaska (PSCA) on
Kodiak Island, Alaska, over the course
of five years (2017–2022). These
regulations, which allow for the
issuance of Letters of Authorization
(LOA) for the incidental take of marine
mammals during the described activities
and specified timeframes, prescribe the
permissible methods of taking and other
means of effecting the least practicable
adverse impact on marine mammal
species or stocks and their habitat, and
establish requirements pertaining to the
monitoring and reporting of such taking.

Legal Authority for the Regulatory
Action
Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16
U.S.C. 1371(a)(5)(A)) directs the
Secretary of Commerce to allow, upon
request, the incidental, but not
intentional taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region for up to five years
if, after notice and public comment, the
agency makes certain findings and
issues regulations that set forth
permissible methods of taking pursuant
to that activity, as well as monitoring
and reporting requirements. Section
101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA and the
implementing regulations at 50 CFR part
216, subpart I provide the legal basis for
issuing this final rule containing fiveyear regulations, and for any subsequent
Letters of Authorization. As directed by
this legal authority, this final rule
contains mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements.
Summary of Major Provisions Within
the Regulations
The following provides a summary of
some of the major provisions within the
rulemaking for AAC’s rocket launch
activities. We have determined that
AAC’s adherence to the planned
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
measures listed below will achieve the
least practicable adverse impact on the
affected marine mammals. They
include:
• Required monitoring of Ugak Island
to detect the presence and abundance of
marine mammals before and after
deployment of space vehicle and missile
launch operations.
• Required monitoring of Ugak Island
to survey the presence and abundance
of marine mammals quarterly (space
vehicle and missile launch operations).
• Required mitigation using timelapsed photography to determine the
immediate response impacts to marine
mammals during space vehicle and
missile launch operations, particularly
during the pupping season (should
space vehicle and missile launch
operations occur during that time).
Background
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce to allow,
upon request, the incidental, but not
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and either regulations are
issued or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, a notice of a proposed
authorization is provided to the public
for review.
An authorization for incidental
takings shall be granted if NMFS finds
that the taking will have a negligible
impact on the species or stock(s), will
not have an unmitigable adverse impact
on the availability of the species or
stock(s) for subsistence uses (where
relevant), and if the permissible
methods of taking and requirements
pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring
and reporting of such takings are set
forth. NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible
impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as ‘‘an
impact resulting from the specified
activity that cannot be reasonably
expected to, and is not reasonably likely
to, adversely affect the species or stock
through effects on annual rates of
recruitment or survival.’’
NMFS has defined ‘‘unmitigable
adverse impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as
an impact resulting from the specified
activity:
(1) That is likely to reduce the
availability of the species to a level
insufficient for a harvest to meet
subsistence needs by: (i) Causing the
marine mammals to abandon or avoid
hunting areas; (ii) directly displacing
subsistence users; or (iii) placing
physical barriers between the marine
