comments on these proposed actions
(February 8, 2011) was extended to

number of locations in Alaska, we
published a notice in the Federal
Register announcing public hearings to

(76 FR 9733, February 22, 2011). We are
announcing a separate hearing in Nome,
AK, to provide greater opportunity for

proposed rule for ringed seals and the
proposed rule for bearded seals (75 FR

hearings.
People wishing to make an oral
