Download as PDF 11494 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2012 / Notices serious injury rate (Allen and Angliss, 2010). MMPA section 118(b)(2) states that fisheries maintaining such mortality and serious injury levels are not required to further reduce their mortality and serious injury rates. Because the goals of TRPs are to reduce mortality and serious injury of marine mammals incidental to commercial fishing operations, no TRP is required for this stock. MMPA section 101(a)(5)(E) requires NMFS to publish in the Federal Register a list of fisheries that have been authorized to take threatened or endangered marine mammals. A list of such fisheries was published December 29, 2010 (75 FR 81972), which authorized the taking of certain threatened or endangered marine mammals incidental to commercial fishing. With issuance of this notice, NMFS adds 9 Category III fisheries (including CA set gill net, CA/OR/WA salmon troll, WA/OR/CA groundfish, bottomfish longline/set line, WA/OR North Pacific halibut longline/set line, CA halibut bottom trawl, WA/OR/CA shrimp trawl, WA/OR/CA groundfish trawl, CA coonstripe shrimp, rock crab, tanner crab pot or trap, and WA groundfish, bottomfish jig) to this list for the Eastern U.S. stock of Steller sea lions (Table 1).
