SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
Background
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce (as delegated
to NMFS) 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 specified 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.
An 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.
Summary of Request
On October 27, 2017, NMFS issued an
IHA to Venoco to take marine mammals,
by Level B harassment, incidental to the
Casitas Pier Fender Pile Replacement
Project, effective from November 1,
2017, through October 31, 2018 (82 FR
55579). On January 1, 2018, Chevron
succeeded Venoco as the owner and
operator of Carpinteria Gas Plant,
including Casitas Pier.
Chevron subsequently submitted a
written request to transfer the current
IHA from Venoco to Chevron. With the
transfer of the Casitas Pier IHA, Chevron
agrees to comply with the associated
terms, conditions, stipulations, and
restrictions of the original Casitas Pier
IHA. No other changes were requested.
The revised IHA, if issued, would
remain effective through October 31,
2018.
This Federal Register notice sets forth
only a proposed change in the Casitas
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
Pier IHA holder’s name. There are no
other changes to the current IHA as
described in the November 22, 2017,
Federal Register notice of a final IHA
(82 FR 55579): The specified activity;
description of marine mammals in the
area of the specified activity; potential
effects on marine mammals and their
habitat; mitigation and related
monitoring used to implement
mitigation; reporting; estimated take by
incidental harassment; negligible impact
and small numbers analyses and
determinations; impact on availability
of affected species or stocks for
subsistence uses and the period of
effectiveness remain unchanged and are
herein incorporated by reference.
Proposed Revisions to the Casitas Pier
IHA
NMFS is proposing a change in the
name of the holder of the Casitas Pier
IHA from ‘‘Venoco, LLC’’ to ‘‘Chevron
USA, Inc’’.
Request for Public Comments
NMFS invites comment on the
proposed change to the current IHA.
Please include with your comments any
supporting data or literature citations to
help inform our final decision on
Venoco and Chevron’s request for
transfer of the Casitas Pier
authorization.
