research with NIST scientists, and to
conduct other outreach and educational
activities that advance the use of
neutrons by U.S. university and
industrial scientists (75 FR 18784). The
due date for submission of all proposals
was 5 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 7, 2010.
NIST is extending the deadline to give
applicants more time to prepare and
submit proposals. The new deadline is
5 p.m. EDT, May 13, 2010.
All NCNR Comprehensive Grants
Program competition requirements and
information announced in the April 13,

proposals submitted during the
extended time period.
Executive Order 12372
(Intergovernmental Review of Federal
Programs). Proposals under this
program are not subject to Executive
Order 12372.
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism).
This notice does not contain policies
with Federalism implications as defined
in Executive Order 13132.
Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory
Planning and Review). This notice is not
a significant regulatory action under
sections 3(f)(3) and 3(f)(4) of Executive
Order 12866, as it does not materially
alter the budgetary impact of a grant
program and does not raise novel policy
issues. This notice is not an
‘‘economically significant’’ regulatory
action under Section 3(f)(1) of the
Executive Order, as it does not have an
effect on the economy of $100 million
or more in any one year, and it does not
have a material adverse effect on the
economy, a sector of the economy,
productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment, public health or safety, or
State, local, or tribal governments or
communities.
Administrative Procedure Act and
Regulatory Flexibility Act. Prior notice
and comment are not required under 5
U.S.C. 553, or any other law, for rules
relating to public property, loans,
grants, benefits or contracts (5 U.S.C.
553(a)). Because prior notice and an
opportunity for public comment are not
required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any
other law, the analytical requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore,
a regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and has not been prepared.

Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; issuance of an
Incidental Harassment Authorization.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA) regulations, notification is
hereby given that NMFS issued an
Incidental Harassment Authorization
(IHA) to NMFS, Alaska Region (NMFS
AKR) for the take of small numbers of
marine mammals, by Level B
harassment, incidental to conducting
replacement and repair of northern fur
seal research observation towers and
walkways on St. Paul Island, Alaska,
from April to June and December 2010.
DATES: Effective April 20, 2010 through
June 7, 2010 and December 1 to 31,
2010.
A copy of the IHA and
application are available by writing to P.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
Background
Section 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) directs
the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary)
to allow, upon request, the incidental,
but not intentional, taking of marine
mammals by United States (U.S.)
citizens who engage in a specified
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

activity (other than commercial fishing)
within a specified geographical region if
certain findings are made and either
regulations are issued or, if the taking is
limited to harassment, a notice of a
proposed authorization is provided to
the public for review.
An authorization to take small
numbers of marine mammals by
harassment shall be granted if NMFS
finds that the taking will have a
negligible impact on the species or
stock(s) and will not have an
unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
subsistence uses (where relevant), and if
the permissible methods of taking and
requirements pertaining to the
mitigation, monitoring and reporting of
such takings are set forth to achieve the
least practicable adverse impact. NMFS
has defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50
CFR 216.103 as ’’...an impact resulting
from the specified activity that cannot
be reasonably expected to, and is not
reasonably likely to, adversely affect the
species or stock through effects on
annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’
Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA
established an expedited process by
which citizens of the United States can
apply for an authorization to
incidentally take small numbers of
marine mammals by harassment. Except
with respect to certain activities not
pertinent here, the MMPA defines
‘‘harassment’’ as:
any act of pursuit, torment, or annoyance
which (i) has the potential to injure a marine
mammal or marine mammal stock in the wild
[Level A harassment]; or (ii) has the potential
to disturb a marine mammal or marine
mammal stock in the wild by causing
disruption of behavioral patterns, including,
but not limited to, migration, breathing,
nursing, breeding, feeding, or sheltering
[Level B harassment].
Section 101(a)(5)(D) establishes a 45–
day time limit for NMFS review of an
application followed by a 30–day public
notice and comment period for any
proposed authorizations for the
incidental harassment of marine
mammals. Within 45 days of the close
of the comment period, NMFS must
either issue or deny the authorization.
Summary of Request
On February 2, 2010, NMFS received
a letter from NMFS AKR requesting an
IHA to authorize the take, by Level B
harassment, of small numbers of
northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus)
incidental to conducting replacement
and repair operations for fur seal
research observation towers and
walkways on St. Paul Island, Alaska.
NMFS is currently contracting
demolition, repair, and select
replacement of northern fur seal
