human environment or effects on
threatened or endangered species
beyond those analyzed in these
documents. NMFS now reviews the
remaining requirements to issue a
permit to take the subject listed species
incidental to the CA thresher shark/
swordfish DGN fishery (≥14 inch mesh)
and WA/OR/CA sablefish pot fisheries.
Recovery Plans
Recovery Plans for humpback whales,
fin whales, and sperm whales have been
completed (see https://www.nmfs.noaa.
gov/pr/recovery/plans.htm#mammals).
Accordingly, the requirement to have
recovery plans in place or being
developed is satisfied.

Vessel Registration
MMPA section 118(c) requires that
vessels participating in Category I and II
fisheries register to obtain an
authorization to take marine mammals
incidental to fishing activities. Further,
section 118(c)(5)(A) provides that
registration of vessels in fisheries
should, after appropriate consultations,
be integrated and coordinated to the
maximum extent feasible with existing
fisher licenses, registrations, and related
programs. Participants in the CA
thresher shark/swordfish DGN fishery
(≥14 inch mesh) and WA/OR/CA
sablefish pot fisheries already provide
the information needed by NMFS to
register their vessels for the incidental
take authorization under the MMPA
either through the federal groundfish
limited entry permit process of the
federal Vessel Monitoring System.
Therefore, vessel registration for an
MMPA authorization is integrated
through those programs in accordance
with MMPA section 118.
Monitoring Program
The CA thresher shark/swordfish
DGN fishery (≥14 inch mesh) has been
observed since the early 1990s. Levels of
observer coverage vary over years but
are adequate to produce reliable
estimates of mortality and serious injury
of listed species (e.g., from 2000–2010,
coverage ranged from 12.0 to 22.9
percent). As part of the West Coast
groundfish fishery and MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act objectives, the WA/
OR/CA sablefish pot fishery, as
managed under the groundfish FMP, is
observed at about 1–6% per year.
Accordingly, as required by MMPA
section 118, a monitoring program is in
place.
Take Reduction Plans
Subject to available funding, MMPA
section 118 requires the development
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
and implementation of a Take
Reduction Plan (TRP) in cases where a
strategic stock interacts with a Category
I or II fishery. The stocks considered for
this permit are designated as strategic
stocks under the MMPA because they
are listed as threatened or endangered
under the ESA. In 1996, a take reduction
team (TRT) was convened to develop a
TRP to address the incidental taking of
several strategic stocks in the CA
thresher shark/swordfish drift gillnet
fishery. A POCTRP was implemented,
through regulations, in October, 1997
(62 FR 51813) and has been in place
ever since. These strategic stocks also
interact with the WA/OR/CA sablefish
pot/trap fishery and other Category II
fisheries described above, and a
potential TRP is in the development
phase. The short- and long-term goals of
a TRP are to reduce mortality and
serious injury of marine mammals
incidental to commercial fishing to
levels below PBR and to a zero mortality
rate goal (indicated by meeting the
threshold for placement in the annual
LOF Category III), respectively. 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. However, the obligations to
develop and implement a TRP are
subject to the availability of funding.
MMPA section 118(f)(3) (16 U.S.C.
1387(f)(3)) contains specific priorities
for developing TRPs. NMFS has
insufficient funding available to
simultaneously develop and implement
TRPs for all stocks that interact with
Category I or Category II fisheries. As
provided in MMPA section 118(f)(6)(A)
and (f)(7), NMFS used the most recent
SARs and LOF as the basis to determine
its priorities for establishing TRTs and
developing TRPs. Through this process,
NMFS evaluated the CA/OR/WA stocks
of humpback, fin, and sperm whales,
and identified them as lower priorities
compared to other marine mammal
stocks and fisheries for establishing
TRTs, based on population trends of
each stock and mortality and serious
injury levels incidental to commercial
fisheries. In addition, NMFS is currently
collecting data to categorize fixed gear
fisheries and assess their risk to large
whales off the U.S. west coast.
Accordingly, given these factors and
NMFS’ priorities, implementation of the
developing TRP for the WA/OR/CA
sablefish pot trap fishery and other
similar Category II fisheries will be
deferred under section 118 as other
stocks/fisheries are a higher priority for
any available funding for establishing
new TRPs.

As noted in the summary above, all of
the requirements to issue a permit to the
following Federally-authorized fisheries
have been satisfied: The CA thresher
shark/swordfish DGN fishery (≥14 inch
mesh) and WA/OR/CA sablefish pot
fishery. Accordingly, NMFS proposes to
issue a permit to participants in these
Category II fisheries for the taking of
CA/OR/WA humpback whales, CA/OR/
WA fin whales, and CA/OR/WA sperm
whales incidental to the fisheries’
operations. As noted under MMPA
section 101(a)(5)(E)(ii), no permit is
required for vessels in Category III
fisheries. For incidental taking of
marine mammals to be authorized in
Category III fisheries, any injuries or
mortality must be reported to NMFS.
NMFS solicits public comments on the
proposed permit and the preliminary
determinations supporting the permit.
