Discovery and Information Sharing
Event Regarding Direct Realization of
Mass
National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST), Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) is
providing a public opportunity to learn
more about NIST efforts to develop a
tabletop Kibble balance aimed at
realizing mass [500 mg–20 g], with
uncertainties of parts in 106, and
traceable to the new quantum
International System of Units (SI). The
two-hour virtual meeting will take place
October 19, 2022, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. eastern
time.
DATES: The workshop will be held on
October 19, 2022, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. eastern
time. Registration is not required but
requested via email to Leon Chao at
leon.chao@nist.gov.
ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held
virtually via webinar. Participation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) is providing a public
opportunity to learn more about NIST
efforts to develop a tabletop Kibble
balance aimed at realizing mass [500
mg–20 g], with uncertainties of parts in
106, and traceable to the new quantum
International System of Units (SI). A
first-generation prototype, KIBB-g1
(patented by NIST), has proven gramlevel masses can be directly realized via
a tabletop-sized, low complexity,
affordable system. Several government
agencies are collaborating with NIST to
develop a second- generation model
(provisional patent submitted).
NIST is inviting industry leaders in
mass metrology and precision balance
manufacturing, as well as other
interested parties, to attend a two-hour
virtual meeting to learn more about the
next generation tabletop Kibble balance
and opportunities for potential
collaboration with NIST to advance this
technology.

Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; receipt of application for
regulations and Letter of Authorization;
request for comments and information.
AGENCY:
NMFS has received a request
from Mayflower Wind, LLC (Mayflower
Wind) for authorization to take small
numbers of marine mammals incidental
to the Mayflower Wind Project in a
designated lease area on the Bureau of
Ocean Energy Management’s (BOEM)
Lease Area Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS)–A–0521 offshore of
Massachusetts, over the course of 5
years beginning on April 1, 2025.
Pursuant to regulations implementing
the Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA), NMFS is announcing receipt
of Mayflower Wind’s request for the
development and implementation of
regulations governing the incidental
taking of marine mammals and issuance
of a 5-year Letter of Authorization
(LOA). NMFS invites the public to
provide information, suggestions, and
comments on Mayflower Wind’s
application and request.
DATES: Comments and information must
be received no later than November 16,
2022.
ADDRESSES: Comments on the
applications should be addressed to

Conservation Division, Office of
Protected Resources, National Marine

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 incidental take authorization 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.
NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible
impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as an impact
resulting from the specified activity that
