Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 150 / Tuesday, August 5, 2014 / Notices
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
harassment for no more than 1 year, 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 July 11, 2014, NMFS received a
complete application from Apache
requesting authorization for the take of
six marine mammal species incidental
to an oil and gas exploration seismic
program in Cook Inlet, AK, over the
course of 5 years, which would
necessitate the promulgation of 5-year
regulations. The purpose of the
proposed project is to explore for and
develop oil and gas resources in Cook
Inlet. The following specific aspects of
the activities are likely to result in the
take of marine mammals: seismic airgun
operations. Apache requests
authorization to take six marine
mammal species by Level B harassment
only: beluga whale (Delphinapterus
leucas); killer whale (Orcinus orca);
harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena);
gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus);
harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardsi);
and Steller sea lion (Eumetopias
jubatus). Injury or mortality is unlikely
during the proposed seismic survey, and
take by Level A harassment (including
injury) or mortality is not requested in
Apache’s application.
Specified Activities
In the application submitted to
NMFS, Apache requests authorization to
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
take marine mammals incidental to a
seismic survey program in Cook Inlet,
AK. Apache proposes to conduct
seismic operations in both intertidal and
offshore areas, utilizing two
synchronized source vessels and nodal
technology. Sections 2 and 3 of
Apache’s application (see ADDRESSES)
describe the activities in detail, as well
as the timing and location.
Information Solicited
Interested persons may submit
information, suggestions, and comments
concerning Apache’s request (see
ADDRESSES). All information,
suggestions, and comments related to
Apache’s request and NMFS’ potential
development and implementation of
regulations governing the incidental
taking of marine mammals by Apache’s
activities will be considered by NMFS
in developing, if appropriate, the most
effective regulations governing the
issuance of letters of authorization.
