SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 19, 2019, we published
a proposed rule to revise existing
critical habitat for endangered Southern
Resident killer whales (84 FR 49214)
under the ESA. This rule proposes to
revise the critical habitat by designating
six new marine areas along the U.S.
West Coast. The specific new areas
proposed for designation extend along
the U.S. West Coast from the U.S.
international border with Canada, south
to Point Sur, California. Based on
consideration of national security
impacts, we are proposing to exclude
from the designation one area off the
coast of Washington. We are soliciting
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
public comment on this proposed rule
through December 18, 2019.
On October 9, 2019, we published a
proposed rule to designate critical
habitat for the endangered Western
North Pacific DPS, the endangered
Central America DPS, and the
threatened Mexico DPS of humpback
whales under the ESA (84 FR 54354).
Areas proposed as critical habitat
include specific marine areas located off
the coasts of California, Oregon,
Washington, and Alaska. Based on
consideration of national security and
economic impacts, we are also
proposing to exclude multiple areas
from the designation for each DPS. We
are soliciting comments on the proposed
humpback whale critical habitat
designations through December 9, 2019.
Public Hearings
Each of the public hearings will be
conducted in the same manner. The
hearings will begin with a brief
presentation by NMFS that gives an
overview of critical habitat under the
ESA and a summary of the relevant
proposed critical habitat designation(s).
Following the presentation, members of
the public will have the opportunity to
provide oral comments on the record
regarding the proposed designations.
Members of the public will also have
the opportunity to submit written
comments at the hearing. Written
comments may also be submitted at any
time during the relevant public
comment period via the Federal eRulemaking Portal. To do the latter, go
