Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council; Public Meeting, 27070 [2021-10564]

Download as PDF 27070 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 19, 2021 / Notices by Level A and Level B harassment. Therefore, the Navy requests authorization to incidentally take marine mammals. Specified Activities The Navy proposes to replace or repair several sections of deteriorating, unstable, hazardous, and eroding bulkhead, sheet pile, and revetment (approximately 2,730 total linear feet) along the Coddington Cove waterfront of Naval Station Newport in Newport Rhode Island. Over time, the existing storm sewer systems and bulkheads along the Coddington Cove waterfront have severely degraded due to erosion from under-capacity stormwater system piping and aging infrastructure. This impacts the ability of the installation to minimize shoreline erosion and safety risks from associated upland subsidence while maintaining potential berthing space. The Navy expects construction will require approximately 222 nonconsecutive in-water pile driving workdays over the 5 year period. Seven species of marine mammals have been observed in the area and have the potential to be taken by the Navy’s activities. Information Solicited Interested persons may submit information, suggestions, and comments concerning the Navy’s request (see ADDRESSES). NMFS will consider all information, suggestions, and comments related to the request during the development of proposed regulations governing the incidental taking of marine mammals by the Navy, if appropriate. Dated: May 14, 2021. Catherine Marzin, Acting Director, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
