Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 156 / Monday, August 15, 2005 / Notices
The proposed seismic program will
not interfere with any legal subsistence
hunts, since seismic operations will not
be conducted in the same space and
time as the hunts in subsistence whaling
and sealing areas. Therefore, the
issuance of an IHA for this activity will
not have an unmitigable adverse effect
on any marine mammal species or
stocks used for subsistence purposes.
NMFS has issued a 1–year IHA to
UAF for the take, by harassment, of
small numbers of marine mammals
incidental to conducting a low-intensity
oceanographic seismic survey in the
Arctic Ocean, provided the previously
mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements are incorporated.
NMFS has determined that the proposed
activity would result in the harassment
of small numbers of marine mammals;
would have no more than a negligible
impact on the affected marine mammal
stocks; and would not have an
unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of species or stocks for
subsistence uses.
Dated: August 4, 2005.

Director, Office of Protected Resources,
Mational Marine Fisheries Service.
