ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
NMFS is proposing to issue
an amended permit to authorize the
incidental, but not intentional, take of
two stocks of marine mammals listed as
threatened or endangered under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA), under
section 101(a)(5)(E) of the Marine
Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), by the
California (CA) thresher shark/
swordfish drift gillnet fishery (≥14 in
mesh) and the Washington (WA)/
Oregon (OR)/CA sablefish pot fishery. In
accordance with the MMPA, NMFS
must issue this permit provided that it
can make the determinations that: The
incidental take will have a negligible
impact on the affected stocks; a recovery
plan for all affected stocks of threatened
or endangered marine mammals has
been developed or is being developed;
and as required by the MMPA, a take
reduction plan and monitoring program
have been implemented, and vessels in
the CA thresher shark/swordfish drift
gillnet fishery (≥14 in mesh) and the
WA/OR/CA sablefish pot fisheries are
registered. NMFS has made a
preliminary determination that
incidental taking from commercial
fishing will have a negligible impact on
the endangered humpback whale (CA/
OR/WA stock) and the endangered
sperm whale (CA/OR/WA stock).
Recovery plans have been completed for
humpback and sperm whales. NMFS
solicits public comments on the draft
negligible impact determination (NID)
and on the proposal to issue a permit to
vessels that operate in these fisheries for
the taking of affected endangered stocks
of marine mammals.
DATES: Comments must be received by
September 24, 2014.
