Notice is hereby given that NMFS renewed Section 10(a)(1)(A) scientific enhancement Permit 16608-3R to the Bureau of Reclamation. Authorized activities within the permit are expected to affect and enhance the threatened California Central Valley (CCV) Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and the Southern DPS (sDPS) of North American green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) through enhancement activities and research and monitoring in the San Joaquin River from the Merced River confluence to the base of Mendota Dam, and select locations on the Mariposa and Eastside bypasses, and entrances to the following off-channel sloughs: Mud Slough, Salt Slough, and Newman Wasteway.

NMFS has received a request from SouthCoast Wind Energy, LLC (SouthCoast Wind; formerly known as Mayflower Wind Energy, LLC) for authorization to take marine mammals incidental to marine site characterization surveys offshore of Massachusetts and Rhode Island in the area of Commercial Lease of Submerged Lands for Renewable Energy Development on the Outer Continental Shelf Lease Area (OCS)-A-0521. The activities described in SouthCoast Wind's request, the overall survey duration, the project location, and the acoustic sources proposed for use are similar in scope as to what was previously analyzed in support of the IHA issued by NMFS to SouthCoast Wind for the 2021-2022 site characterization surveys (2021 IHA) (86 FR 38033, July 19, 2021). All proposed mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements remain the same. While SouthCoast Wind's planned activity would qualify for renewal of the 2021 IHA, due to the availability of updated marine mammal density data (https:// seamap.env.duke.edu/models/Duke/EC/), which NMFS has determined represents the best available scientific data, NMFS has determined it appropriate to provide a 30-day period for the public to comment on this proposed action. Pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS is requesting comments on its proposal to issue an IHA to incidentally take marine mammals during the specified activities. NMFS is also requesting comments on a possible 1-year renewal IHA that could be issued under certain circumstances and if all requirements are met, as described in Request for Public Comments at the end of this notice. NMFS will consider public comments prior to making any final decision on the issuance of the requested MMPA authorizations and agency responses will be summarized in the final notice of our decision.
