Download as PDF 39232 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 115 / Thursday, June 15, 2023 / Notices lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 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 cannot be reasonably expected to, and is not reasonably likely to, adversely affect the species or stock through effects on annual rates of recruitment or survival. The MMPA states that the term ‘‘take’’ means to harass, hunt, capture, kill or attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill any marine mammal. Except with respect to certain activities not pertinent here, the MMPA defines ‘‘harassment’’ as: any act of pursuit, torment, or annoyance, which (i) has the potential to injure a marine mammal or marine mammal stock in the wild (Level A harassment); or (ii) has the potential to disturb a marine mammal or marine mammal stock in the wild by causing disruption of behavioral patterns, including, but not limited to, migration, breathing, nursing, breeding, feeding, or sheltering (Level B harassment). Summary of Request On November 2, 2022 NMFS received an application from the U.S. Space Force, Vandenberg Space Force Base requesting authorization for taking of marine mammals by Level B harassment incidental to base operations. Following extensive exchange of information between NMFS and the applicant, a revised application was submitted on May 25, 2023. The revised application was deemed adequate and complete on May 26, 2023. Launch sites at VSFB serve as the point of origin for launches conducted by Department of Defense, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and commercial entities. All launch operations would occur at VSFB, potentially resulting in impacts to VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:54 Jun 14, 2023 Jkt 259001 marine mammals at VSFB (as a result of launch noise and visual stimuli) and at the Northern Channel Islands (as a result of noise from sonic booms). Therefore, USSF requests authorization to incidentally take marine mammals. Specified Activities U.S. Space Force’s request describes activities that are conducted to meet mission requirements for VSFB. The base is the primary launch facility on the west coast of the United States for placing commercial, government, and military satellites into polar orbit on unmanned launch vehicles, and for the testing and evaluation of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and sub-orbital target and interceptor missiles. Related operations include surface launches of space vehicles and recovery of first stage boosters, silo launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles, test launches related to the Ground Based Strategic Defense program (GBSD), operation of various aircraft including unmanned aerial systems, and harbor operations. The USSF anticipates an incremental increase in the number of launches, culminating with 15 missile and 110 rocket launches in 2028, the last full calendar year that an authorization would be in effect. A full description of these activities including descriptions of the types of vehicles, estimated number of launches per year and proposed marine mammal monitoring, is provided in the USSF’s request. Information Solicited Interested persons may submit information, suggestions, and comments concerning U.S. Space Force’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 U.S. Space Force, if appropriate.
