Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 84 / Tuesday, May 4, 2021 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES and as individual parcels are acquired for the reserve system. The framework and final monitoring program are intended to verify take is not being exceeded, ensure compliance with PCCP requirements, assess the status of Covered Species and natural communities within the reserve system, evaluate the effects of management actions, and assess whether the PCCP’s biological goals and objectives are being achieved. There are three main sources of funding for the PCCP: Plan development fees (includes land conversion fee, special habitat fees, and temporary effects fee), local funding, and state and Federal funding. NMFS considers the PCCP’s development fees as an assured source of funding because Placer County and the City of Lincoln will adopt ordinances to implement the fees described in the habitat conservation plan. Permit 25641 NMFS authorizes the following lethal incidental takes of CCV steelhead (threatened) and CV fall- and late fallrun Chinook salmon (unlisted): • Trapping and handling for research and monitoring: 5 CCV steelhead juveniles and 10 Chinook salmon per year; • Fish capture and relocation: less than 3% incident mortality; • Responses that result from habitat disturbance (i.e., contaminants, turbidity, construction disturbance, acoustic impacts, disturbance to riparian and riverine habitat; take measured via surrogate of permanent physical disturbance): 655 acres or temporary disturbance of 165 acres of combined riparian/riverine habitat; and • Take of fish or eggs from other activities (measures via surrogate trail acreage): Approximately 50 acres of trails. To ensure that the mitigation and minimization strategies are effective, the PCCP incorporates a variety of monitoring, research, and reporting components that will provide feedback for use by adaptive management provisions. Based on this information, adjustments can be made to the conservation management activities set forth in chapter 5 of the PCCP. Take authorization will become effective for the currently unlisted species covered by this permit concurrent with the listing of those species under the ESA. Authority Section 9 of the ESA and Federal regulations prohibit the ‘‘taking’’ of a species listed as endangered or VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:13 May 03, 2021 Jkt 253001 threatened. The ESA defines ‘‘take’’ to mean harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. NMFS may issue permits, under limited circumstances, to take listed species incidental to, and not the purpose of, otherwise lawful activities. Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA provides for authorizing incidental take of listed species. NMFS regulations governing permits for threatened and endangered species are promulgated at 50 CFR 222.307.

ACTION: Notice; proposed issuance of an incidental harassment authorization; request for comments. AGENCY: NMFS received a request from the U.S. Navy (Navy) for an incidental harassment authorization (IHA) to incidentally take marine mammals, by Level B harassment only, during target and missile launch activities on San Nicolas Island (SNI). The Navy is requesting, and NMFS is proposing to issue, an IHA authorizing incidental take of marine mammals during continuation of target and missile launch activities identical to those already analyzed in a 2019 IHA issued on June 12, 2019 and a currently active Renewal IHA issued on June 19, 2020, which expires on June 11, 2021. The proposed mitigation, monitoring, and reporting measures remain the same as prescribed in the previous IHAs. This IHA would be effective from June 12, 2021 through June 11, 2022. Pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS is requesting comments on its proposal to issue an IHA to incidentally take marine mammals during the specified activities. NMFS will consider public comments prior to making any final decision on the issuance of the requested MMPA SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\04MYN1.SGM 04MYN1
