khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
decisions on the request for this IHA or
a subsequent renewal IHA.
On a case-by-case basis, NMFS may
issue a one-time, one-year renewal IHA
following notice to the public providing
an additional 15 days for public
comments when (1) up to another year
of identical or nearly identical activities
as described in the Description of
Proposed Activities section of this
notice is planned or (2) the activities as
described in the Description of
Proposed Activities section of this
notice would not be completed by the
time the IHA expires and a renewal
would allow for completion of the
activities beyond that described in the
Dates and Duration section of this
notice, provided all of the following
conditions are met:
• A request for renewal is received no
later than 60 days prior to the needed
renewal IHA effective date (recognizing
that the renewal IHA expiration date
cannot extend beyond one year from
expiration of the initial IHA).
• The request for renewal must
include the following:
(1) An explanation that the activities
to be conducted under the requested
renewal IHA are identical to the
activities analyzed under the initial
IHA, are a subset of the activities, or
include changes so minor (e.g.,
reduction in pile size) that the changes
do not affect the previous analyses,
mitigation and monitoring
requirements, or take estimates (with
the exception of reducing the type or
amount of take).
(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
will remain the same and appropriate,
and the findings in the initial IHA
remain valid.

I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a currently approved
collection. The subsistence use of
northern fur seals is cooperatively
managed by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA)
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) and the Tribal Governments of
St. Paul and St. George Islands under
§ 119 of the Marine Mammal Protection
Act, 16 U.S.C. 1388 (MMPA) and
governed by regulations found in 50
CFR part 216 subpart F, Taking for
Subsistence Purposes under the Fur
Seal Act (16 U.S.C. 1155). The
regulations, laws, and cooperative
agreements are focused on conserving
northern fur seals through cooperative
effort and consultation regarding
effective management of human
activities related to the subsistence
harvests of northern fur seals and Steller
sea lions. In 2014, NMFS obtained a
collection of information control
number (79 FR 65327; November 4,
2014), reviewed the control number in
2017 (82 FR 51218; November 3, 2017),
updated the control number in 2019 (84
FR 52372; October 2, 2019, and
corrected in 2020 (85 FR 15948; March
20, 2020).
This an information collection for the
annual subsistence use male northern
fur seals by Alaska Natives
(Pribilovians) residing in the
communities of St. Paul and St. George,
Alaska (Pribilof Islands) under 50 CFR
216 part 216 subpart F. NMFS
established regulations regarding the
maximum levels for the annual
subsistence needs of the Pribilovians
after direct consultation with the Tribal
Governments of St. Paul and St. George
Islands in Alaska and their respective
local Native corporations (Tanadgusix
and Tanaq). NMFS regulation creates
independent northern fur seal
subsistence seasons on St. Paul and St.
George islands to include male fur seals
less than 7 years old, limits on
accidental mortality of female northern
fur seals, monitoring and reporting
through co-management processes
established under their respective
cooperative agreements. The regulations
at 50 CFR 216.72 state that Pribilovians
are responsible for reporting their
subsistence needs and actual level of
subsistence take. NMFS receives
electronic copies of the northern fur seal
subsistence use reports from the tribal
governments of St. Paul and St. George
annually. NMFS subsequently posts
VerDate Sep<11>2014

these reports online (https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/marinemammal-protection/northern-fur-sealsubsistence-harvest-estimates-andreports) and includes the relevant data
in the annual Alaska Marine Mammal
Stock Assessment Report.
The only change requested to the
collection of information at this time is
the changing of the collection title from
‘‘Annual Northern Seal Subsistence
Harvest Reporting’’ to ‘‘Pribilof Islands,
Taking for Subsistence Purposes.’’
