Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 27, 2013 / Notices
BILLING CODE 3510–22–C
None of the five marine mammal
species anticipated to occur in the
proposed activity area are listed as
threatened or endangered under the
ESA. Table 2 in this document presents
the abundance of each species or stock,
the proposed take estimates, and the
percentage of the affected populations
or stocks that may be taken by
harassment. Based on these estimates,
GFNMS would take less than 1% of
each species or stock, with the
exception of the California sea lion,
which would result in an estimated take
of 1.8% of the stock. Because these are
maximum estimates, actual take
numbers are likely to be lower, as some
animals may select other haulout sites
the day the researchers are present.
Based on the analysis contained
herein of the likely effects of the
specified activity on marine mammals
and their habitat, and taking into
consideration the implementation of the
proposed mitigation and monitoring
measures, NMFS preliminarily finds
that the rocky intertidal monitoring
program will result in the incidental
take of small numbers of marine
mammals, by Level B harassment only,
and that the total taking from the rocky
intertidal monitoring program will have
a negligible impact on the affected
species or stocks.

* Abundance estimates are taken from the 2012 U.S. Pacific Marine Mammal Stock Assessments (Carretta et al., 2013).
Impact on Availability of Affected
Species or Stock for Taking for
Subsistence Uses
There are no relevant subsistence uses
of marine mammals implicated by this
action. Therefore, NMFS has
determined that the total taking of
affected species or stocks would not
have an unmitigable adverse impact on
the availability of such species or stocks
for taking for subsistence purposes.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
None of the marine mammals for
which incidental take is proposed are
listed as threatened or endangered
under the ESA. Therefore, NMFS has
determined that issuance of the
proposed IHA to GFNMS under section
101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA will have no
effect on species listed as threatened or
endangered under the ESA.

added section 1097c to Title 10. Section
1097c prohibits employers from offering
financial or other incentives to certain
TRICARE-eligible employees to not
enroll in an employer-offered group
health plan. In other words, employers
may no longer offer TRICARE
supplemental insurance plans as part of
an employee benefit package. Employers
may, however, offer TRICARE
supplemental insurance plans as part of
an employee benefit package provided
that the plan is not paid for in whole or
in part by the employer and is not
endorsed by the employer. When such
TRICARE supplemental plans are
offered, the employer must properly
As a result of these preliminary
determinations, NMFS proposes to
authorize the take of marine mammals
incidental to GFNMS’ rocky intertidal
and black abalone monitoring research
activities, provided the previously
mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements are incorporated.

BILLING CODE 3510–22–P
In 2012, we prepared an EA analyzing
the potential effects to the human
environment from conducting rocky
intertidal surveys along the California
and Oregon coasts and issued a Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on the
issuance of an IHA for GFNMS’ rocky
intertidal surveys in accordance with
section 6.01 of the NOAA
Administrative Order 216–6
(Environmental Review Procedures for
Implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act, May 20,
1999). GFNMS’ proposed activities and
impacts for 2014 are within the scope of

our 2012 EA and FONSI. We have
reviewed the 2012 EA and determined
that there are no new direct, indirect, or
cumulative impacts to the human and
natural environment associated with the
IHA requiring evaluation in a
supplemental EA and we, therefore,
intend to reaffirm the 2012 FONSI.
