Revised Non-Foreign Overseas Per Diem Rates, 37938-37943 [E8-14774]

Download as PDF 37938 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 2, 2008 / Notices jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES City of Monterey Independence Day Fireworks Celebration, the MBNMS submitted an annual monitoring report on four other professional fireworks displays at MBNMS in 2007. A summary of that report follows. For each display, observers conducted pre-event surveys to document abundance and distribution of local marine mammal populations within the fireworks area. Following the fireworks display, observers conducted post-event monitoring to record the presence of injured or dead marine mammals, and other wildlife. Pre-event monitoring of the Cambria Independence Day Fireworks on July 3 found no animals present at the site and a post-event census on July 5 found no dead or injured mammals or birds. Observers monitored the Pillar Point Harbor area for the Half Moon Bay Independence Day Fireworks on July 4 and recorded one harbor seal, one sea otter (Enhydra lutris), and 712 brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) pre-event. Postevent monitoring on July 5 revealed no dead or injured mammals or birds. The Pacific Grove Feast of Lanterns Fireworks display consisted of enumerating all marine mammals observed within 400 meters of the fireworks launch site. On July 27, observers found eight harbors seals, one sea otter and reported no dead or injured mammals post event on July 29. In summary, the total number of potentially harassed animals was 258 sea lions and 17 harbor seals for all fireworks displays. No dead or injured marine mammals were reported for all events. Similar to the results of the 2006 LOA monitoring report, these results support NMFS’ initial findings that fireworks display will result in no more than Level B harassment of small numbers of California sea lions and VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:51 Jul 01, 2008 Jkt 214001 harbor seals. These effects are limited to short-term behavioral changes, including temporary abandonment of haulouts to avoid sound and light flashes of professional fireworks displays. Authorization NMFS has issued an LOA to MBNMS authorizing the Level B harassment of marine mammals incidental to the coastal commercial fireworks display within the Sanctuary. Issuance of this LOA is based on the results of the MBNMS 2007 monitoring report which verify that the total number of potentially harassed sea lions and harbor seals was well below the authorized limits as stated in the final rule (71 FR 40928, July 19, 2006). Based on these findings and the information discussed in the preamble to the final rule, the activities described under this LOA will have a negligible impact on marine mammal stocks and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of the affected marine mammal stock for subsistence uses. No mortality or injury of affected species is anticipated. Dated: June 26, 2008. James H. Lecky, Director, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service. [FR Doc.
