effecting the least practicable adverse
impact on the species and its habitat
and on the availability of the species for
subsistence uses, paying particular
attention to rookeries, mating grounds,
and areas of similar significance. The
regulations also must include
requirements pertaining to the
monitoring and reporting of such taking.
Regulations governing the taking
incidental to target missile operations
on San Nicolas Island, CA, were
published on September 2, 2003 (68 FR
52132), and remain in effect until
October 2, 2008.
Pursuant to these regulations, NMFS
has issued an LOA to the NAWC-WD.
Issuance of the LOA is based on a
finding made in the preamble to the
final rule that the total takings by this
project (with the mitigation) will have
no more than a negligible impact on the
affected species or stocks of marine
mammals and will not have an
unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of such species or stock for
taking for relevant subsistence uses.
NMFS also finds that the applicant will
meet the requirements contained in the
implementing regulations and LOA,
including monitoring and reporting
requirements.
According to the draft technical
report, the NAWC-WD performed a total
of three missile launches between
February and November 2007. A dual
launch of Rolling Airframe
Missiles(RAM) occurred on 26 April,
2007; and single GQM–163A Supersonic
Sea-Skimming Target (SSST) were
launched on June 12 and 13, 2007.
California sea lions were observed
during all three launches on all three
launch dates. Northern elephant seals
were observed during all three launches
on the three dates. Pacific harbor seals
were not observed during launches on
any launch dates. Based on monitoring
efforts between February and November
2007, the NAWC-WD estimates that
approximately 567 sea lions, 40 harbor
seals, and no elephant seals were
affected by launch sounds. There was
no evidence of injury or mortality
during or immediately succeeding the
launches for any pinniped species.
NMFS finds that the level of taking
under the 2008 LOA will be consistent
with the findings made in the final rule
for this action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 8,
2007, notice was published in the
Federal Register (72 FR 31811) that a
request for a scientific research permit
to take the species identified above had
been submitted by the above-named
organization. The requested permit has
been issued under the authority of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226), and the Fur Seal
Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151
et seq.).
Mystic Aquarium has been issued a

male Steller sea lion and subsequently
return this animal to its facility of
origin, if necessary; and (2) to import up
to nine female Steller sea lions from the
Vancouver Aquarium, and to receive a
‘‘non-releasable’’ one year old male
Steller sea lion from The Marine
Mammal Center in Sausalito, California.
At any one time the maximum number
of adult male SSL maintained at Mystic
Aquarium will be two and the number
of females and pups will not exceed
nine.
Project 2: Receipt, import and export
of tissues from a maximum of 10,000
animals, up to 30 samples per animal
per year (i.e., 5000 pinniped and 5000
cetaceans) under NMFS jurisdiction in
the U.S. and abroad (i.e. worldwide).
Samples will be analyzed for purposes
of research on marine mammal health
(e.g., nutrition, disease, immune
function, environmental stressors).
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an environmental
assessment was prepared analyzing the
effects of the permitted activities. After
a Finding of No Significant Impact, the
determination was made that it was not
necessary to prepare an environmental
impact statement.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit: (1) was applied for in good
faith; (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered
species; and (3) is consistent with the
purposes and policies set forth in
section 2 of the ESA.

American Samoa Purse-Seine Closed
Area Alternatives
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
At its 138th meeting held in June
2007, the Council discussed the
potential for increases in purse seine
fishing within the U.S. Exclusive
Economic Zone surrounding American
Samoa and directed staff to develop a
paper examining potential options to
expand the existing 50 miles large
pelagic vessel exclusion zone
specifically for purse seine vessels to
avoid potential gear conflicts between
these vessels and the American Samoa
longline and domestic troll vessels. At
its 139th meeting held in October 2007,
the Council recommended an
amendment be developed which
included a range of preliminary
alternatives as follows:
Alternative 1: No-Action
Under the no-action alternative waters
within 3–50 nm around American
Samoa would continue to be closed to
pelagic fishing by vessels greater than
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:02 Feb 06, 2008
Jkt 214001
50ft in length including purse seine
vessels
Alternative 2: Close Entire EEZ Waters
around American Samoa to Purse Seine
Fishing
Under Alternative 2, a closed area
would be established to exclude purse
seine vessels from operating within all
EEZ waters around American Samoa
Alternative 3: Close 75 nm around
American Samoa to Purse Seine Fishing
(Preliminarily Preferred)
Under Alternative 3, a closed area
would be established to exclude purse
seine vessels from operating within 75
nm around American Samoa
American Samoa Longline Management
Program Modification Alternatives
At its 139th Council meeting, the
Council directed staff to draft a
regulatory amendment that would
provide a framework to adjust the
American Samoa longline limited entry
program, including establishing a
process to reopen the limited entry
permit application process, amending
the large (>50ft) pelagic vessel 50 nm
closed areas, and eliminating the
minimum landing requirements for all
vessel size classes in the American
Samoa longline limited entry program.
These issues were brought before the
Council by fishery participants who
were concerned that rapid changes in
the American Samoa pelagic longline
fishery over the past several years has
resulted in lower than anticipated
participation in the fishery, and that the
current measures including the large
vessel area closure, minimum landing
requirements and initial permit
qualification criteria be reviewed in
order to ensure that the management
program continues to ensure sustained
participation in the domestic longline
fishery and to maintain opportunities
for substantial participation by
indigenous American Samoans in this
fishery while minimizing adverse
impacts on American Samoa
communities.
Regarding potential modification to
the American Samoa pelagic longline
limited entry permit and landing
requirements, the preliminary
alternatives to be discussed include:
Alternative 1: No Action
Under Alternative 1, the Council
would not re-open the permit
application process and would not
remove the minimum landing
requirement.

Alternative 2
Under Alternative 2, the Council
would not re-open the permit
application process but would remove
the minimum landing requirement.
Alternative 3
Under Alternative 3 the Council
would re-open the permit application
process but would not remove the
minimum landing requirement.
Alternative 4
Under Alternative 4 the Council
would re-open the permit application
process and would also remove the
minimum landing requirement.
Regarding the American Samoa large
pelagic vessel area closure, the
preliminary alternatives to be discussed
include:
Alternative 1: No Action, Maintain
Current 50 nm closure to vessels greater
than 50 ft.
Under Alternative 1, the Council
would maintain the current 50 nautical
mile area closure for pelagic fishing
vessels greater than 50 ft. around the
islands of the American Samoa
Archipelago
Alternative 2: Modify the area closure
to 25 nautical miles
Under Alternative 2, the Council
would temporarily reduce the area
closure from 50 nautical miles to 25
nautical miles. The Council would also
review the status of the fishery every
two years to determine whether the
closure should be maintained at 25
miles or return back to 50 nautical
miles.
Alternative 3: Modify the area closure
to 12 nautical miles
Under Alternative 3, the Council
would temporarily reduce the area
closure from 50 nautical miles to 12
nautical miles. The Council would also
review the status of the fishery every
two years to determine whether the
closure should be maintained at 12
miles or return back to 50 nautical
miles.
Alternative 4: Suspend the 50 mile
area closure indefinitely
Under Alternative 4, the Council
would suspend the 50 mile area closure
indefinitely. The Council would also
review the status of the fishery every
two years to determine whether the
closure should be returned back to 50
nautical miles.
The order in which agenda items
addressed may change. Public comment
periods will be provided throughout the
agenda and written comments will be
accepted until March 7, 2008.
