Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 84 / Tuesday, April 30, 2024 / Notices
As per section 6410(b) of the Act,
NOAA will require that each proposal
package submitted to a Ruth D. Gates
Coral Reef Conservation Program Notice
of Funding Opportunity at minimum
include: 1. The name of the individual
or entity responsible for conducting the
project; 2. A description of the
qualifications of the individual or
entity; 3. A succinct statement of the
purposes of the project; 4. An estimate
of the funds and time required to
complete the project; 5. Evidence of
support for the project by appropriate
representatives of States or other
government jurisdictions in which the
project will be conducted; 6.
Information regarding the source and
amount of matching funding available to
the applicant; 7. A description of how
the project meets one or more of the
priorities listed in the announcement;
and 8. In the case of a proposal
submitted by a coral reef stewardship
partnership, a description of how the
project aligns with the applicable coral
reef action plan in effect under section
6404 of this title. Additionally, Federal
funds for any coral conservation
financial assistance project may not
exceed 50 percent of the total cost.
However, the Administrator may waive
all or part of the matching requirement
if the Administrator determines that no
reasonable means are available through
which an applicant can meet the
matching requirement with respect to a
coral reef project and the probable
benefit of the project outweighs the
public interest in the matching
requirement. The applicant may choose
to also submit a request for this nonFederal matching requirement, if full or
in part, at their discretion.
Per 2 CFR 200.329, all recipients of
non-construction Federal financial
assistance awards are required to
provide performance (technical) reports
to the agency at intervals no less
frequently than annually and no more
frequently than quarterly in order for
the agency to properly monitor the
award and meet oversight
responsibilities. The awarding agency
must use OMB-approved common forms
for this purpose or seek permission for
program-specific forms that will collect
the required data elements. The Coral
Reef Conservation Program obtained
OMB approval to revise this information
collection to require use of a programspecific form for semi-annual reporting
and an annual form for tracking specific
indicators but has not been
implemented. These indicators align
with the new Coral Reef Conservation
Program Strategic Plan (2018; https://
www.coris.noaa.gov/activities/strategic_

plan2018) and were to be used to track
national progress toward these strategic
goals through 2040, however section
6403 of the Act now requires the
creation of National Coral Resilience
Strategy by December, 2024, and the
form may need to be revised to track any
changes in indicators. The programspecific form for semi-annual reporting
will be a revised version of what is
currently approved and will standardize
reporting across projects.
II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected
electronically via the Department of
Commerce’s grant management system,
eRA Commons, for performance
(technical) reports, Grants.gov for nonFederal match waiver requests, and
email for covered States’ submissions of
expenditures of non-Federal funds. In
the event that electronic submission is
not available for non-Federal match
waiver requests, paper submissions may
be allowable pursuant to the Notice of
Funding Opportunity.

expiration date of letter of authorization.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA), as amended, its implementing
regulations, and NMFS’ MMPA
Regulations for Taking Marine
Mammals Incidental to Geophysical
Surveys Related to Oil and Gas
Activities in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM),
notification is hereby given that NMFS

Letter of Authorization (LOA) issued to
WesternGeco for the take of marine
mammals incidental to geophysical
survey activity in the GOM.
DATES: This LOA is effective through
July 31, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce 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
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 authorization for incidental
takings 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.
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).
On January 19, 2021, we issued a final
rule with regulations to govern the
unintentional taking of marine
mammals incidental to geophysical
survey activities conducted by oil and
gas industry operators, and those
persons authorized to conduct activities
on their behalf (collectively ‘‘industry
operators’’), in U.S. waters of the GOM
over the course of 5 years (86 FR 5322,
January 19, 2021). The rule was based
on our findings that the total taking
from the specified activities over the 5year period will have a negligible
impact on the affected species or
stock(s) of marine mammals and will
not have an unmitigable adverse impact
on the availability of those species or
stocks for subsistence uses. The rule
became effective on April 19, 2021.
Our regulations at 50 CFR 217.180 et
seq. allow for the issuance of LOAs to
industry operators for the incidental
take of marine mammals during
geophysical survey activities and
prescribe the permissible methods of
taking and other means of effecting the
least practicable adverse impact on
marine mammal species or stocks and
their habitat (often referred to as
mitigation), as well as requirements
pertaining to the monitoring and
