lions with regard to this new
information. After conversations with
NMFS concerning this determination,
the ACOE initiated formal consultation
for the Steller sea lion on November 30,
2005, for carrying out the rehabilitation
of the South Jetty at the MCR. On
September 27, 2006, NMFS NWRO
issued a BO based on the reinitiation of
an ESA section 7 consultation on Steller
sea lions. In this BO, NMFS concluded
that the proposed action is not likely to
jeopardize the continued existence of
the Eastern U.S. stock of Steller sea lion.
The BO also concurred that no Steller
sea lion critical habitat exists within the
proposed action area.
Information Solicited
NMFS requests interested persons to
submit comments, information, and
suggestions concerning this request (see
ADDRESSES).
Preliminary Determinations
Renewal of Department of Defense
Federal Advisory Committees
For the reasons discussed in this
document and in previously identified
supporting documents, NMFS has
preliminarily determined that the
impact of jetty repair construction at the
MCR South Jetty should result, at worst,
in the Level B harassment of small
numbers of Steller sea lions, California
sea lions, and Pacific harbor seals that
haul-out in the vicinity of the proposed
project area. While behavioral
modifications, including temporarily
vacating the area around the
construction site, may be made by these
species to avoid the resultant visual and
acoustic disturbance, the availability of
alternate areas within MCR and haul-out
sites has led NMFS to preliminarily
determine that this action will have a
negligible impact on Steller sea lion,
California sea lion, and Pacific harbor
seal populations in the area.
In addition, no take by Level A
harassment (injury) or death is
anticipated and harassment takes
should be at the lowest level practicable
due to incorporation of the mitigation
measures mentioned previously in this
document.

Proposed Authorization
NMFS proposes to issue an IHA to
ACOE for the potential harassment of
small numbers of Steller sea lions,
California sea lions, and harbor seals
incidental to repair construction of at
the MCR South Jetty in Clatsop County,
Oregon, provided the previously
mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements are incorporated.
NMFS has preliminarily determined
that the proposed activity would result
in the harassment of only small
numbers of Steller sea lions, California
sea lions, and harbor seals, and will
have no more than a negligible impact
on these marine mammal species and/
or stocks.
