disentanglement, and stranding program
reports) and incorporating the results
into marine mammal stock assessment
reports and marine mammal
conservation management regimes (e.g.,
Marine Mammal Protection Act List of
Fisheries, take reduction plans, ship
speed regulations). NMFS is releasing
its final Policy and Procedural
Directives and responding to comments
on the draft policy.
DATES: This final policy will be effective
as of January 27, 2012.
