Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 26, 2013 / Notices 70539 

‘‘take’’ means to harass, hunt, capture, 

or kill, or to attempt to harass, hunt, 

capture, or kill marine mammals. 

Authorization may be granted for 

periods up to 5 years if NMFS finds, 

after notification and opportunity for 

public comment, that the taking will 

have a negligible impact on the species 

or stock(s) of marine mammals and will 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of the species or 

stock(s) for subsistence uses (where 

relevant). In addition, NMFS must 

prescribe regulations that include 

permissible methods of taking and other 

means of effecting the least practicable 

adverse impact on the species and its 

habitat and on the availability of the 

species for subsistence uses, paying 

particular attention to rookeries, mating 

grounds, and areas of similar 

significance. The regulations must 

include requirements for monitoring 

and reporting of such taking. 

Regulations governing the taking of 

northern elephant seals (Mirounga 

angustirostris), Pacific harbor seals 

(Phoca vitulina richardsi), and 

California sea lions (Zalophus 

californianus), by harassment, 

incidental to missile launch operations 

at SNI, were issued on June 2, 2009, and 

remain in effect until June 2, 2014 (74 

FR 26580, June 3, 2009). For detailed 

information on this action, please refer 

to that document. The regulations 

include mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements for the 

incidental take of marine mammals 

during missile launches at SNI. 

Summary of Request 

On September 24, 2013, NMFS 

received a request for an LOA renewal 

pursuant to the aforementioned 

regulations that would authorize take of 

pinnipeds, by harassment, incidental to 

missile launch operations from SNI. The 

request covers the remaining 6 months 

of the Navy’s current regulations. 

Summary of Activity Conducted During 

2012–2013 

As described in the Navy’s annual 

monitoring report, the missile launch 

operations conducted by the Navy 

during this time period were within the 

scope and amounts authorized by the 

2012–2013 LOA, and the levels of take 

remain within the scope and amounts 

contemplated by the final rule and 

detailed in the 2012–2013 LOA. A total 

of eight launches took place using two 

missile types on seven different days. 

Planned Activities and Estimated Take 

for 2013–2014 

During 2013–2014, the Navy expects 

to conduct the same type and amount of 

launches identified in the 2012–2013 

LOA. Therefore, NMFS is authorizing 

the same amount of take authorized in 

2012. 

2012–2013 Monitoring 

The Navy conducted the monitoring 

required by the 2012–2013 LOA and 

described in the Monitoring Plan, which 

included acoustic monitoring of missile 

launches and visual monitoring of 

pinnipeds. The Navy submitted their 

2012–2013 Monitoring Report, which is 

posted on NMFS’ Web site (http://

www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/

incidental.htm), within the required 

timeframe. In summary, visual 

monitoring shows that pinnipeds 

startled and moved in response to 

launch sounds and most individuals 

returned to normal behavior within 5 

minutes. 

Authorization 

The Navy complied with the 

requirements of the 2012–2013 LOA and 

NMFS has determined that there was no 

evidence of pinniped injuries or 

mortalities related to vehicle launches 

from SNI. The Navy’s activities fell 

within the scope of the activities 

analyzed in the 2009 rule, and the 

observed take did not exceed that 

authorized in the 2012–2013 LOA. 

NMFS has determined that this action 

continues to have a negligible impact on 

the affected species or stocks of marine 

mammals on SNI. Accordingly, NMFS 

has issued an LOA to the Navy 

authorizing the take of marine 

mammals, by harassment, incidental to 

missile launch activities from SNI. The 

provision requiring that the activities 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of the affected 

species or stock for subsistence uses 

does not apply for this action.
