foraging ecology of California sea lions.
This research will help determine the
ability of these animals to adapt to
environmental change. Over the course
of five years, up to twenty animals will
be captured, flipper tagged,
anesthetized, and equipped with a
backpack blood oxygen recorder during
foraging trips to sea. Animals will be
recaptured after the foraging trip to
remove the recorders. Research will
occur on San Nicolas Island off the coast
of California. Annually, up to 6,000
California sea lions, 500 harbor seals
(Phoca vitulina), 1,000 northern
elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris),
and 150 northern fur seals (Callorhinus
ursinus) may be incidentally harassed
during research. The permit is valid
until February 1, 2015.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.

(MMPA), as amended, and
implementing regulations, notice is
hereby given that NMFS has issued a
letter of authorization (LOA) to the U.S.
Navy (Navy) to take marine mammals
incidental to Navy training,
maintenance, and research,
development, testing, and evaluation
(RDT&E) activities to be conducted
within the Southern California (SOCAL)
Range Complex, which extends south
and southwest off the southern
California coast, for the period of
January 22, 2010, through January 21,
2011.
DATES: This Authorization is effective
from January 22, 2010, through January

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C.
1361 et seq.) directs NMFS to allow,
upon request, the incidental taking of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing), if certain findings
are made by NMFS and regulations are
issued. Under the MMPA, the term
‘‘take’’ means to harass, hunt, capture, or
kill or to attempt to harass, hunt,
capture, or kill marine mammals.
Regulations governing the taking of
marine mammals by the Navy incidental
to training, maintenance, and RDT&E in
the SOCAL Range Complex became

3881, January 21, 2009), and remain in
effect through January 13, 2014. For
detailed information on this action,
please refer to that document. These
regulations include mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
and establish a framework to authorize
incidental take through the issuance of
LOAs.
Summary of Request
On November 3, 2009, NMFS received
a request from the Navy for a renewal
of an LOA issued on January 22, 2009,
for the taking of marine mammals
incidental to training and research
activities conducted within the SOCAL
Range Complex under regulations
issued on January 14, 2009 (74 FR 3881,
