Agency Information Collection Activities under OMB Review, 79343-79344 [2010-31900]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2010 / Notices jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES military readiness activities. These activities may incidentally take marine mammals present within the NWTRC Study Area by exposing them to sound from mid-frequency or high frequency active sonar (MFAS/HFAS) or to underwater detonations at levels that NMFS associates with the take of marine mammals. The Navy’s model, which did not factor in any potential benefits of mitigation measures, predicted that 13 individual marine mammals would be exposed to levels of sound or pressure that would result in injury; thus, NMFS is authorizing the take of 13 individuals per year by Level A Harassment. However, NMFS and the Navy have determined that injury can most likely be avoided through the implementation of the required mitigation measures. No mortality of marine mammals is anticipated or authorized incidental to naval exercises in the NWTRC. MIRC In August 2008, NMFS received an application from the Navy requesting authorization for the take of individuals of 26 species of marine mammals incidental to upcoming Department of Defense (including Navy, USMC, and USAF) training and research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) activities to be conducted within the MIRC study area, which encompasses a 501,873-square-nautical mile (nm2) area around the islands, including Guam, Tinian, Saipan, Rota, Farallon de Medinilla, and also includes ocean areas in both the Pacific Ocean and the Philippine Sea. These training activities are military readiness activities under the provisions of the NDAA. These military activities may incidentally take marine mammals present within the MIRC study area by exposing them to sound from midfrequency or high frequency active sonar (MFAS/HFAS) or underwater detonations. After submitting supplemental applications, the Navy requested authorization to take individuals of 26 species of marine mammals by Level B Harassment, 2 individuals of 2 species by Level A Harassment annually, and 10 individual beaked whales by mortality over the course of the 5-year regulations. The Navy’s model, which did not factor in any potential benefits of mitigation measures, predicted that 2 individual marine mammals would be exposed to levels of sound or pressure that would result in injury; thus, NMFS is authorizing the take, by Level A Harassment of 2 individuals per year. However, NMFS and the Navy have determined that injury can most likely VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:18 Dec 17, 2010 Jkt 223001 79343 be avoided through the implementation of the Navy’s proposed mitigation measures. Further, although it does not anticipate that it will occur, the Navy requested, and NMFS is authorizing the take, by injury or mortality, of up to 10 beaked whales over the course of the 5year regulations.

Authorizations COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION NWTRC On November 10, 2010, NMFS’ final rule governing the take of marine mammals incidental the Navy’s activities in the NWTRC became effective. In accordance with the final rule, NMFS issued an LOA to the Navy on November 12, 2010, authorizing harassment of individuals or 26 species of marine mammals incidental to U.S. Navy training activities in the NWTRC. Issuance of this LOA is based on findings, described in the preamble to the final rule (75 FR 69296, November 10, 2010), that the taking resulting from the activities described in 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. The LOA describes the permissible methods of taking and includes requirements pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring and reporting of such taking. MIRC On August 3, 2010, NMFS’ final rule governing the take of marine mammals incidental the Navy’s activities in the MIRC became effective. In accordance with the final rule, NMFS issued an LOA to the Navy on August 12, 2010, authorizing harassment of individuals of 26 species of marine mammals and mortality of 10 individual beaked whales incidental to U.S. military training and RDT&E activities in the MIRC Study Area (as noted above, mortality of beaked whales may not exceed 10 individuals in the five years covered by the regulations). Issuance of this LOA is based on findings, described in the preamble to the final rule (75 FR 45527, August 3, 2010), that the taking resulting from the activities described in 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. The LOA describes the permissible methods of taking and includes requirements pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring and reporting of such taking.
