ADDRESSES:
Authorization
BP complied with the requirements of
the 2006 LOA, and NMFS has
determined that the marine mammal
take resulting from the 2006
construction and operation activities is
within that analyzed in and anticipated
by the associated regulations.
Accordingly, NMFS has issued a 1–year
LOA to BP, authorizing the taking of
marine mammals incidental to oil
production operations at the Northstar
offshore facility in state and Federal
waters in the U.S. Beaufort Sea.
Issuance of this LOA is based on
findings described in the preamble to
the final rule (71 FR 11314, March 7,
2006) and supported by information
contained in BP’s 2006 annual report
that the activities described in the LOA
will result in the taking of no more than
small numbers of bowhead whales,
beluga whales, ringed seals, and,
possibly California gray whales, bearded
seals, and spotted seals and that the
total taking will have a negligible
impact on these marine mammal stocks
and would not have an unmitigable
adverse impact on the availability of
these species or stocks for taking for
subsistence uses.
Special Accommodations
This meeting is physically accessible
to people with disabilities. Requests for
sign language interpretation or other
auxiliary aids should be directed to Tina
Trezza at the Council (see ADDRESSES) at
least 5 working days prior to the
