Background
NMFS has received a request
from the Washington State Department
of Transportation (WSDOT) Ferries
Division (WSF) for an incidental take
authorization to take small numbers of
11 species of marine mammals, by Level
B harassment, incidental to proposed
construction activities for the
replacement of dolphin structures at the
Orcas Island and Friday Harbor ferry
terminals in Washington State. Pursuant
to the Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA), NMFS is requesting comments
on its proposal to issue an authorization
to WSDOT to incidentally take, by
harassment, small numbers of marine
mammals for a period of 1 year.
DATES: Comments and information must
be received no later than March 11,
2013.
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce to allow,
upon request, the incidental, but not
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and either regulations are
issued or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, a notice of a proposed
authorization is provided to the public
for review.
An authorization for incidental
takings shall be granted if NMFS finds
that the taking will have a negligible
impact on the species or stock(s), will
not have an unmitigable adverse impact
on the availability of the species or
stock(s) for subsistence uses (where
relevant), and if the permissible
methods of taking and requirements
pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring
and reporting of such takings are set
forth. NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible
impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as ‘‘* * * an
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; proposed incidental
harassment authorization; request for
comments and information.
