FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Grace Ferrara, NMFS West Coast Region Protected Resources Division, by email at MakahPermit.WCR@noaa.gov or by phone at 206–526–6172. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject permit is requested under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking of ENP gray whales by the Makah Indian Tribe off the coast of Washington State (50 CFR part 216, subpart J). The applicant, the Makah Indian Tribe, proposes to conduct a ceremonial and subsistence hunt consistent with the purposes of the MMPA and the regulations at 50 CFR part 216, subpart J. The Tribe proposes using both traditional methods (e.g., a wooden canoe and harpoon) and modern methods (motorized vessels and rifles) to conduct the hunt, in order to balance the preservation of traditional cultural methods with maximizing the safety, efficiency, and humaneness of the hunt. The duration of the requested permit is 28 months, lasting from July 1, 2025 through October 31, 2027. The Tribe proposes to conduct training and hunting activities between July 1st and October 31st in 2025 and 2027. In each of those two years, the Tribe requests a maximum of 142 ENP gray whales to be approached, a maximum of 12 to be subjected to unsuccessful strike attempts or training harpoon throws, a maximum of 2 to be struck, and a maximum of 1 to be landed. All proposed hunting and training activities would take place in the Makah Tribe’s usual and accustomed fishing grounds west of the Bonilla-Tatoosh Line as defined by 50 CFR 216.112. For more information on the proposed method of taking, including the training and certification procedures for the members of the whaling crew, refer to the permit application and supporting materials available at https:// www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resource/ document/makah-tribe-permitapplication-hunt-gray-whales. Section PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12711 104 of the MMPA governs the issuance of permits for the taking of marine mammals, and outlines specific procedures and timelines under which the permitting process must be conducted (16 U.S.C. 1374). NMFS is required to invite interested parties to submit written comments, data, or views within thirty days of the publication of a notice of receipt of a permit application in the Federal Register (50 CFR 216.33(d)(4)). Here, we have afforded interested parties fortyfive days to submit comments, data, or views by mail, email, or through the regulations.gov portal. Due to the timeline set forth under Section 104, we anticipate we will be unable to extend this comment period beyond forty-five days. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial determination has been made that the proposed issuance of the requested permit and resulting effects have been thoroughly evaluated in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on the Makah Tribe Request to Hunt Gray Whales (NMFS 2023). The FEIS is available electronically at https:// s3.amazonaws.com/ media.fisheries.noaa.gov/2023-11/ makah-waiver-feis-110923.pdf. Concurrent with the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, NMFS is forwarding copies of the application to the Marine Mammal Commission and its Committee of Scientific Advisors.

Based on the Agreement, each country affords the other country certain benefits on a reciprocal basis consistent with national laws and regulations. The benefits that the United States accords to the products of qualifying countries include— • Offers of qualifying country end products are evaluated without applying the price differentials otherwise required by the Buy American statute and the Balance of Payments Program; • The chemical warfare protection clothing restrictions in 10 U.S.C. 4862 and the specialty metals restriction in 10 U.S.C. 4863 do not apply to products manufactured in a qualifying country; and • Customs, taxes, and duties are waived for qualifying country end E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM 19MRN1
