Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to Specified Activities; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Construction Activities Associated With the Murray St. Bridge Seismic Retrofit Project in Santa Cruz, California
NMFS has received a request from the City of Santa Cruz for the re-issuance of previously issued incidental harassment authorizations (IHAs). The initial IHAs authorized take incidental to construction associated with Murray St. Bridge seismic retrofit project in Santa Cruz, California. The project has been delayed and none of the planned work has been conducted. The scope of the activities and anticipated effects remain the same, authorized take numbers are not changed, and the required mitigation, monitoring, and reporting remains the same as included in the initial IHAs. NMFS therefor is reissuing identical IHAs, with the only change being to the effective dates.

NMFS received a request from the U.S. Navy for the renewal of their currently active incidental harassment authorization (IHA) to take marine mammals incidental to Replacement of Pier 302 at Naval Base Point Loma in San Diego, California. U.S. Navy's activities will not be completed prior to the IHA's expiration. Pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act, prior to issuing the currently active IHA, NMFS requested comments on both the proposed IHA and the potential for renewing the initial authorization if certain requirements were satisfied. The renewal requirements have been satisfied, and NMFS is now providing an additional 15-day comment period to allow for any additional comments on the proposed renewal not previously provided during the initial 30-day comment period.
