Fishery regulations do not generally
affect scientific research activities
conducted by a scientific research
vessel. Persons planning to conduct
such research are encouraged to submit
a scientific research plan to ensure that
the activities are considered research
and not fishing. The researchers are
requested to submit reports of their
scientific research activity after its
completion. Eligible researchers on
board federally permitted fishing vessels
that plan to temporarily possess fish in
a manner not compliant with applicable
fishing regulations for the purpose of
collecting scientific data on catch may
submit a request for a temporary
possession letter of authorization. The
researchers are requested to submit
reports of their scientific research
activity after its completion. The
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) may also grant exemptions from
fishery regulations for educational or
other activities (e.g., using nonregulation gear). The applications for
these exemptions must be submitted, as
well as reports on activities.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; individuals or households; not
for profit organizations; state, local or
tribal governments.
Frequency: Annually, on occasion and
as required by permits.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) operates a voluntary fee-forservice seafood inspection program
(Program) under the authorities of the
Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as
amended, the Fish and Wildlife Act of
1956, and the Reorganization Plan No.
4 of 1970. The regulations for the
Program are contained in 50 CFR part
260. The program offers inspection
grading and certification services,
including the use of official quality
grade marks which indicate that specific
products have been Federally inspected.
Those wishing to participate in the
program must request the services and
submit specific compliance information.
In July 1992, NMFS announced new
inspection services, which were fully
based on guidelines recommended by
the National Academy of Sciences,
known as Hazard Analysis Critical
Control Point (HACCP). The information
collection requirements fall under
§ 260.15 of the regulations. These
guidelines required that a facility’s
quality control system have a written
plan of the operation, identification of
control points with acceptance criteria
and a corrective action plan, as well as
identified personnel responsible for
oversight of the system.

In accordance with the
regulations implementing the Marine
Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) as
amended, notification is hereby given
that NMFS has issued an incidental
harassment authorization (IHA) to the
U.S. Navy (Navy) to incidentally harass,
by Level B harassment only, five species
of marine mammals during construction
activities as part of a wharf maintenance
project conducted in the Hood Canal,
Washington.
SUMMARY:
This IHA is effective from July
16, 2015, through January 15, 2016.

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 by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
area, the incidental, but not intentional,
taking of small numbers of marine
mammals, providing that certain
findings are made and the necessary
prescriptions are established.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:37 Jun 24, 2015
Jkt 235001
The incidental taking of small
numbers of marine mammals may be
allowed only if NMFS (through
authority delegated by the Secretary)
finds that the total taking by the
specified activity during the specified
time period will (i) have a negligible
impact on the species or stock(s) and (ii)
not have an unmitigable adverse impact
on the availability of the species or
stock(s) for subsistence uses (where
relevant). Further, the permissible
methods of taking and requirements
pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring
and reporting of such taking must be set
forth.
The allowance of such incidental
taking under section 101(a)(5)(A), by
harassment, serious injury, death, or a
combination thereof, requires that
regulations be established.
Subsequently, a Letter of Authorization
may be issued pursuant to the
prescriptions established in such
regulations, providing that the level of
taking will be consistent with the
findings made for the total taking
allowable under the specific regulations.
Under section 101(a)(5)(D), NMFS may
authorize such incidental taking by
harassment only, for periods of not more
than one year, pursuant to requirements
and conditions contained within an
IHA. The establishment of these
prescriptions requires notice and
opportunity for public comment.
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, section 3(18) of 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 November 4, 2014, we received a
request from the Navy for authorization
to take marine mammals incidental to
pile driving and removal associated
with maintenance of an explosives
handling wharf (EHW–1) in the Hood
Canal at Naval Base Kitsap in Bangor,
WA (NBKB). The Navy submitted
revised versions of the request on
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
February 27 and March 17, 2015. The
latter of these was deemed adequate and
complete. The Navy plans to replace
four structurally unsound piles,
between July 16, 2015, and January 15,
2016.
The use of both vibratory and impact
pile driving is expected to produce
underwater sound at levels that have the
potential to result in behavioral
harassment of marine mammals. Species
with the expected potential to be
present during all or a portion of the inwater work window include the Steller
sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus
monteriensis), California sea lion
(Zalophus californianus), harbor seal
(Phoca vitulina richardii), killer whale
(transient only; Orcinus orca), and
harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena
vomerina). These species may occur
year-round in the Hood Canal, with the
exception of the Steller sea lion, which
is present only from fall to late spring
(approximately late September to early
May), and the California sea lion, which
is only present from late summer to late
spring (approximately late August to
early June).
This is the third such IHA for similar
work on the same structure. The Navy
previously received IHAs for a two-year
maintenance project at EHW–1
conducted in 2011–12 and 2012–13 (76
FR 30130 and 77 FR 43049). Additional
IHAs were issued to the Navy in recent
years for marine construction projects
on the NBKB waterfront, including the
construction of a second explosives
handling wharf (EHW–2) immediately
adjacent to EHW–1. Three consecutive
IHAs were issued for that project, in
2012–13 (77 FR 42279), 2013–14 (78 FR
43148), and 2014–15 (79 FR 43429).
Additional projects include the Test Pile
Project (TPP), conducted in 2011–12 in
the proposed footprint of the EHW–2 to
collect geotechnical data and test
methodology in advance of the project
(76 FR 38361) and a minor project to
install a new mooring for an existing
research barge, conducted in 2013–14
(78 FR 43165). In-water work associated
with all projects was conducted only
during the approved in-water work
window (July 16-February 15).
Monitoring reports for all of these
projects are available on the Internet at
www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/
incidental/construction.htm and
provide environmental information
related to issuance of this IHA.
Description of the Specified Activity
Additional detail regarding the
specified activity was provided in our
Federal Register notice of proposed
authorization (80 FR 22477; April 22,
2015); please see that document or
