A draft of the proposed IHA can be found at https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/permit/ incidental-take-authorizations-undermarine-mammal-protection-act. Request for Public Comments We request comment on our analyses (included in both this document and the referenced documents supporting the 2022 IHA), the proposed authorization, and any other aspect of this notice of proposed IHA for the proposed marine site characterization surveys. We also request comment on the potential for renewal of this proposed IHA as described in the paragraph below. Please include with your comments any supporting data or literature citations to help inform our final decision on the request for MMPA authorization. On a case-by-case basis, NMFS may issue a one-time, 1-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, or nearly identical, activities as described in the Description of the Proposed Activity and Anticipated Impacts section of this notice is planned or (2) the activities as described in the Description of the Proposed Activity and Anticipated Impacts 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 1 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:43 May 24, 2024 Jkt 262001 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.

Number of Respondents: 11,686. Responses Per Respondent: 1.02, approximately. Annual Responses: 11,977. Average Burden Per Response: 4.92 hours. Annual Burden Hours: 58,885. Needs and Uses: The collection of information is necessary for DoD to assess where vulnerabilities exist in its supply chain and take steps to correct such deficiencies. In addition, the collection of information is necessary to ensure defense industrial base contractors that have not fully implemented the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800–171 security requirements pursuant to the clause at DFARS 252.204–7012 begin correcting these deficiencies immediately. This requirement supports implementation of section 1648 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Pub. L. 116–92). Section 1648(c)(2) directs the Secretary of Defense to develop a risk-based cybersecurity framework for the defense industrial base sector as the basis for a mandatory DoD standard. This requirement is implemented in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) through the solicitation provision at 252.204–7019, Notice of NIST SP 800– 171 DoD Assessment Requirement, and the contract clause at 252.204–7020, NIST SP 800–171 DoD Assessment Requirements. This clearance covers the following requirements: • DFARS 252.204–7019, Notice of NIST SP 800–171 DoD Assessment Requirement, is prescribed for use in all solicitations, including solicitations using FAR part 12 procedures for the acquisition of commercial products and commercial services, except for solicitations solely for the acquisition of commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) items. Per the provision, if an offeror is required to have implemented NIST SP 800–171 per DFARS clause 252.204–7012, then the offeror shall have a current assessment for each covered contractor information system that is relevant to the offer, contract, task order, or delivery order in order to be considered for award. • DFARS 252.204–7020, NIST SP 800–171 DoD Assessment Requirements, is prescribed for use in in all solicitations and contracts, including solicitations and contracts using FAR part 12 procedures for the acquisition of commercial products and commercial services, except for solicitations and PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 46085 contracts solely for the acquisition of COTS items. The clause requires the contractor to provide the Government access to its facilities, systems, and personnel in order to conduct a Medium Assessment or High Assessment, if necessary. Medium Assessments are assumed to be conducted by DoD Components, primarily by program management office cybersecurity personnel, in coordination with the Defense Contract Management Agency’s DCMA’s Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Assessment Center (DIBCAC), as part of a separately scheduled visit (e.g., for a critical design review). High Assessments will be conducted by, or in conjunction with, DCMA’s DIBCAC. DoD may choose to conduct a Medium Assessment or High Assessment when warranted based on the criticality of the program(s)/ technology(ies) associated with the contracted effort(s). For example, a Medium Assessment may be initiated by a program office who has determined that the risk associated with their programs warrants going beyond the Basic self-assessment. The results of that Medium Assessment may satisfy the program office or may indicate the need for a High Assessment. DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Tucker Lucas.
