In the case of military readiness

specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and regulations are issued, or
if the taking is limited to harassment an
Incidental Harassment Authorization

that an application for incidental take is
adequate and complete, NMFS
commences the incidental take
authorization process by publishing in
