capability. Prospective participants’
contribution to the collaborative effort
will include assistance in establishing
the necessary interface functionality,
connection and set-up capabilities and
procedures, demonstration harnesses,
environmental and safety conditions for
use, integrated platform user
instructions, and demonstration plans
and scripts necessary to demonstrate the
desired capabilities. Each prospective
participant will train NIST personnel as
necessary, to operate its product in
capability demonstrations to the
healthcare community. Following
successful demonstrations, NIST will
publish a description of the security

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
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 specific
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.
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 impact resulting from
the specified activity that cannot be
reasonably expected to, and is not
reasonably likely to, adversely affect the
species or stock through effects on
annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’
Except with respect to certain
activities not pertinent here, the MMPA
defines ‘‘harassment’’ as: Any act of
pursuit, torment, or annoyance which (i)
has the potential to injure a marine
mammal or marine mammal stock in the
wild [Level A harassment]; or (ii) has
the potential to disturb a marine
mammal or marine mammal stock in the
wild by causing disruption of behavioral
patterns, including, but not limited to,
migration, breathing, nursing, breeding,
feeding, or sheltering [Level B
harassment].
Summary of Request
On December 20, 2013, NMFS
received an application from CWA for
the taking of marine mammals
incidental to high resolution survey
activities. NMFS determined that the
application was adequate and complete
on December 20, 2013. NMFS published
a notice of proposed IHA on February 3,
2014 (79 FR 6167).
CWA will conduct a high resolution
geophysical survey in Nantucket Sound,
Massachusetts. The activity will occur
during daylight hours over an estimated
109-day period beginning in May 2014.
The following equipment used during
the survey is likely to result in the take
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
25835
of marine mammals: Shallowpenetration subbottom profiler and
medium-penetration subbottom profiler.
Take, by Level B harassment only, of
individuals of five species is anticipated
to result from the specified activity.
NMFS issued CWA an IHA in 2011
(76 FR 80891, December 27, 2011) for
survey work that was to be completed
in 2012. However, subsequent to the
issuance of that IHA, CWA found it
necessary to divide their survey into
two seasons. They completed
approximately 20 percent of the survey
in 2012 and obtained a second IHA to
conduct the remaining 80 percent in
2013 (78 FR 19217, March 29, 2013).
Due to scheduling adjustments, the
work was not conducted in 2013 and
this request is an extension of the
original request. CWA is not changing
their survey activities in any way.
However, the geotechnical portion of
the survey was completed in 2012 and
will not be continued during the 2014
season.
Description of the Specified Activity
CWA will conduct a high resolution
geophysical survey in order to acquire
remote-sensing data around Horseshoe
Shoal which will be used to characterize
resources at or below the seafloor. The
purpose of the survey is to identify any
submerged cultural resources that may
be present and to generate additional
data describing the geological
environment within the survey area.
The survey will satisfy the mitigation
and monitoring requirements for
‘‘cultural resources and geology’’ in the
environmental stipulations of the
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s
lease. The survey is part of the first
phase of a larger Cape Wind energy
project, which involves the installation
of 130 wind turbine generators on
Horseshoe Shoal over a 2-year period.
The survey will collect data along
predetermined track lines using a towed
array of instrumentation, which will
include a side scan sonar,
magnetometer, shallow-penetration
subbottom profiler, multibeam depth
sounder, and medium-penetration
subbottom profiler. Survey activities
will not result in any disturbance to the
sea floor.
Dates and Duration
Survey activities are necessary prior
to construction of the wind turbine
array and are scheduled to begin in the
spring of 2014, continuing on a daily
basis for up to five months. Survey
vessels will operate during daytime
hours only and CWA estimates that one
survey vessel will cover about 17
nautical miles (31 kilometers) of track
