Procurement List; Additions and Deletions, 11071-11072 [2012-4311]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 37 / Friday, February 24, 2012 / Notices srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES marine mammal will be in a zone where injury and/or mortality could occur as a result of time-delayed detonation. Furthermore, the estimated exposures are based on the probability of the animals occurring in the area when a training event is occurring, and this probability does not change based on the use of TDFDs or implementation of mitigation measures (i.e., the exposure model does not account for how the charge is initiated and assumes no mitigation is being implemented). The potential effects to marine mammal species and stocks as a result of the proposed mine neutralization training activities are the same as those analyzed in the final rule governing the incidental takes for these activities. Consequently, NMFS believes that the take estimates analyzed in the existing final rule do not change as a result of the modified LOA which includes mine neutralization training activities using TDFDs. Analysis and Negligible Impact Determination Pursuant to NMFS’ regulations implementing the MMPA, an applicant is required to estimate the number of animals that would be ‘‘taken’’ by the specified activities (for example, takes by harassment or injury). This estimate informs the analysis that NMFS must perform to determine whether the activity would have a ‘‘negligible impact’’ on the species or stock. Level B (behavioral) harassment occurs at the level of the individual(s) and does not assume any resulting population-level consequences, though there are known avenues through which behavioral disturbance of individuals can result in population-level effects. A negligible impact finding is based on the lack of likely adverse effects on annual rates of recruitment or survival (populationlevel effects). An estimate of the number of Level B harassment takes, alone, is not enough information on which to base an impact determination. In addition to considering estimates of the number of marine mammals that might be ‘‘taken’’ through behavioral harassment, NMFS must consider other factors, such as the likely nature of any responses (their intensity, duration, etc.), the context of any responses (critical reproductive time or location, migration, etc.), or any other variables (if known), as well as the number and nature of estimated Level A takes, the number of estimated mortalities, and effects on habitat. Based on the analysis of the potential impacts from the proposed mine neutralization training exercises conducted within the HRC, which includes the modification of marine VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:34 Feb 23, 2012 Jkt 226001 mammal monitoring and mitigation measures intended to minimize the risk of exposure to explosive detonations during the use of TDFDs, NMFS has determined that the modification of the Navy’s LOA to include taking of marine mammals incidental to mine neutralization training using TDFDs will have a negligible impact on the marine mammal species and stocks present in the action area, provided that the additional mitigation and monitoring measures described above are implemented. Endangered Species Act (ESA) There are seven marine mammal species listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA with confirmed or possible occurrence in the HRC: blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), north Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica), humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), sei whale (Balaenoptera borealis), fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus), and Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi). Pursuant to section 7 of the ESA, NMFS has consulted internally on the issuance of the modified LOA under section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA for these activities. Consultation was concluded on January 10, 2012. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) NMFS participated as a cooperating agency on the Navy’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the HRC. NMFS subsequently adopted the Navy’s FEIS for the purpose of complying with the MMPA. NMFS has determined that there are no changes in the potential effects to marine mammal species and stocks as a result of the mine neutralization training events using TDFDs. Therefore, no additional NEPA analysis is required and the information in the existing FEIS remains sufficient. Authorization NMFS has determined that the marine mammal takes resulting from the 2011 military readiness training and research activities falls within the levels previously anticipated, analyzed, and authorized. Further, the level of taking authorized in 2012 and 2013 for the Navy’s HRC training and research activities is consistent with our previous findings made for the total taking allowed under the HRC regulations. Finally, the record supports NMFS’ conclusion that the total number of marine mammals taken by the 2012 and 2013 HRC activities will have no more than a negligible impact on the affected PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11071 species or stock of marine mammals and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of these species or stocks for taking for subsistence uses. Accordingly, NMFS has issued a 2-year LOA for Navy training and research activities conducted in the HRC from January 15, 2012, through January 5, 2014. Dated: February 17, 2012. James H. Lecky, Director, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
