SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject amendment to Permit No. 782–
1708 is requested under the authority of
the Marine Mammal Protection Act of
1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et
seq.), and the regulations governing the
taking and importing of marine
mammals (50 CFR part 216).
Permit No. 782–1708 , issued on
August 28, 2003 (68 FR 53967),
authorizes the permit holder to capture
and harass northern fur seals
(Callorhinus ursinus) of the eastern
Pacific stock in Alaska during scientific
research for: monitoring the status and
trends of the population; evaluating the
condition of animals from each cohort
(health and strength of year-class);
monitoring the seals’ diet; and
documenting the movement patterns,
foraging behavior, and essential foraging
habitat of various age and sex classes of
fur seals. Seals may be captured, tagged,
sampled and harassed during annual
censuses. The information collected
under this permit is related to assessing
the recovery of this depleted species
and for evaluating management actions.
The permit holder now requests
authorization to perform additional
sampling procedures on animals already
authorized for capture. The proposed
amendment would not result in an
increase in the number of northern fur
seals captured and sampled, but would

add the following procedures related to
a vital rate study or identification of
location of prey consumption events:
flipper tagging all pups captured;
extraction of a single tooth, under
anesthesia, from all non-pups captured;
and use of a stomach temperature
telemeter/recorder on non-pups
captured.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the
activities proposed are consistent with
the Preferred Alternative in the Final
Programmatic Environmental Impact
Statement for Steller Sea Lion and
Northern Fur Seal Research (NMFS
2007), and that issuance of the permit
amendment would not have a
significant adverse impact on the
human environment.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of this
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.

SUMMARY: In accordance with 37 CFR
404.6 and 404.7, announcement is made

invention set forth in U.S. Patent No.

The
invention pertains to temperature
control of solid state lasers. A liquid
immersed pumped solid state lasing
system includes a light source and a
lasing element spaced from the light
source. The light source and the lasing
element are mounted in an insulated
container. The top of the container is
open for inputting a clear cryogenic
cooling liquid into the container to
totally immerse the light source and the
lasing element in the liquid. Heat
transfer occurs by conduction from the
light source and the lasing element to
the liquid, thereby cooling the light
source and the lasing element to
cryogenic temperatures. The container
has a window for the output of laser
light. A plurality of electrical leads that
are superconducting at cryogenic
temperatures are attached to the light
source. When the leads are connected to
a power supply outside the container,
the light source directs light on the
lasing element so that the lasing element
is excited and transmits a light output
through the window.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
invention pertains to detecting reflected
energy and, more particularly, to radar
and ladar systems with enhanced range.
A reflected energy detecting device
includes a transmitter for transmitting
an electromagnetic signal and a receiver
for receiving a reflected electromagnetic
signal. An antenna connected with the
transmitter and the receiver radiates the
electromagnetic signal and captures the
reflected electromagnetic signal. The
antenna may be movable. A main
controller controls operation of the
transmitter and the receiver and the
movement of the antenna. The reflected
energy detecting device may further
include at least one platform to support
a remote reflector that is dimensioned
and configured to redirect the
transmitted electromagnetic signal in a
desired direction, and a platform
controller that communicates with the
main controller and maintains
alignment between the remote reflector
and the antenna.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Center Hill Dam is currently
suffering from severe dam seepage
problems. A comprehensive plan for
repairs has been approved; however,
these repairs will take 7–10 years to
implement. Until the repairs are
sufficiently complete, the Corps has
determined that it is in the public’s
interest to operate Center Hill Lake at
lower pool elevations.
2. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
is a Cooperating Agency because of the
potential to affect listed species. The
Tennessee Valley Authority is a
Cooperating Agency because of the
potential to affect electrical power
production.
3. This notice serves to solicit
comments from the public; Federal,
state, and local agencies and officials;
Indian tribes; and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate
the impacts of this proposed activity.
Any comments received by us will be
considered during the preparation of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS).
4. Public Meetings: At present, no
public meetings have been scheduled to
scope for potential issues to be
evaluated in the FEIS. Requests for
public meetings should be directed to
Mr. William Peoples, Chief, Public
Affairs Office, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Nashville District, Nashville,
TN, 37202–1070. Mr. Peoples may be
reached by telephone at (615) 736–7834.

Intent To Prepare a Draft Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement To
Analyze a Long Island Sound Dredged
Material Management Plan
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Draft Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement
(DPEIS) will evaluate the overall
impacts of various alternatives
identified in a Long Island Sound
Dredged Material Management Plan (LIS
DMMP) for management of dredged
material in the Long Island Sound (LIS)
region. The overall goal of the LIS
DMMP is to develop a comprehensive
plan for dredged material management
in Long Island Sound using a broadbased public process that protects the
environment based on best scientific
data and analysis, while meeting
society’s need for safe and economically
viable navigation for water-based
commerce, transportation, national
security, and other public purposes. The
LIS DMMP will identify potential
environmentally acceptable, practicable
management plans that can be utilized
by the Corps of Engineers (Corps) in
maintaining Federal navigation projects,
as well as various non-Corps dredging
proponents in their analysis of options
to manage non-Corps dredging projects.
Some alternative disposal methods may
be implemented on the basis of the
PEIS, while others may require
additional analysis at the project level.
As specific alternatives are put in place
to implement a given management
option, more detailed National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
documents may be prepared by the
Corps and other Federal agencies, and
such NEPA documents will evaluate
specific impacts from implementing a
particular management option.
ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, New England District, 696
Virginia Road, Concord, MA 01742–
