Activities shall not resume until NMFS is able to review the circumstances of the prohibited take. NMFS will work with Harvest to determine what measures are necessary to minimize the likelihood of further prohibited take and ensure MMPA compliance. Harvest may not resume their activities until notified by NMFS. In the event that Harvest discovers an injured or dead marine mammal, and the lead observer determines that the cause of the injury or death is unknown and the death is relatively recent (e.g., in less than a moderate state of decomposition), Harvest shall immediately report the incident to the Office of Protected Resources, NMFS, and the Alaska Region Stranding Coordinator, NMFS. The report must include the same information identified in 6(b)(i) of this IHA. Activities may continue while NMFS reviews the circumstances of the incident. NMFS will work with Harvest to determine whether additional mitigation measures or modifications to the activities are appropriate. In the event that Harvest discovers an injured or dead marine mammal, and the lead observer determines that the injury or death is not associated with or related to the activities authorized in the IHA (e.g., previously wounded animal, carcass with moderate to advanced decomposition, or scavenger damage), Harvest shall report the incident to the Office of Protected Resources, NMFS, and the Alaska Region Stranding Coordinator, NMFS, within 24 hours of the discovery. Harvest shall provide photographs or video footage or other documentation of the stranded animal sighting to NMFS. This Authorization may be modified, suspended or withdrawn if the holder fails to abide by the conditions prescribed herein, or if NMFS determines the authorized taking is having more than a negligible impact on the species or stock of affected marine mammals. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES Request for Public Comments We request comment on our analyses, the proposed authorization, and any other aspect of this Notice of Proposed IHA for the proposed [action]. We also request comment on the potential for renewal of this proposed IHA as described in the paragraph below. Please include with your comments any supporting data or literature citations to help inform our final decision on the request for MMPA authorization. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:49 Feb 26, 2018 Jkt 244001 On a case-by-case basis, NMFS may issue a second one-year IHA without additional notice when 1) another year of identical or nearly identical activities as described in the Specified Activities section is planned or 2) the activities would not be completed by the time the IHA expires and a second IHA would allow for completion of the activities beyond that described in the Dates and Duration section, provided all of the following conditions are met: • A request for renewal is received no later than 60 days prior to expiration of the current IHA. • The request for renewal must include the following: (1) An explanation that the activities to be conducted beyond the initial dates either are identical to the previously analyzed activities or include changes so minor (e.g., reduction in pile size) that the changes do not affect the previous analyses, take estimates, or mitigation and monitoring requirements. (2) A preliminary monitoring report showing the results of the required monitoring to date and an explanation showing that the monitoring results do not indicate impacts of a scale or nature not previously analyzed or authorized. • Upon review of the request for renewal, the status of the affected species or stocks, and any other pertinent information, NMFS determines that there are no more than minor changes in the activities, the mitigation and monitoring measures remain the same and appropriate, and the original findings remain valid.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Financial Resource Requirements for Derivatives Clearing 
Organizations (OMB Control No. 3038-0066). This is a request for an 
extension of a currently approved information collection.
    Abstract: This collection of information involves the financial 
resource reporting requirements set forth in section 39.11 of the 
Commission's regulations. Section 5b(c)(2) of the Commodity Exchange 
Act (``CEA'' or ``Act'') \2\ sets forth certain core principles with 
which a derivatives clearing organization (``DCO'') must comply in 
order to become registered with the Commission and to maintain such 
registration. One of these core principles, core principle B, sets 
forth the financial resource requirements applicable to DCOs. Section 
5b(c)(2) also requires DCOs to comply with the regulations promulgated 
by the Commission pursuant to section 8a(5) of the Act.\3\ Section 
39.11 of the Commission's regulations, which implements core principle 
B, includes the financial resource reporting requirements that are the 
subject of this information collection. The information collection is 
necessary for, and would be used by, the Commission to evaluate a DCO's 
compliance with the financial resource requirements for DCOs prescribed 
in the CEA, including core principle B, and the Commission's 
regulations.

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB number. On December 5, 2017, the Commission

this information collection and provided 60 days for public comment on 
the proposed extension, 82 FR 57430, December 5, 2017 (``60-Day

has not altered the burden estimates set forth in the 60-Day Notice.

and the basis for these calculations that is necessary to assess the 
DCO's compliance with the financial resources requirements of the CEA 
and Commission regulations. The Commission has revised its estimate of 
the total annual burden hours for this collection to account for an 
increase in the number of respondents (from 14 to 17), but has
