### 39486 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 3, 2012 / Notices

regulations are issued. Under the MMPA, the term ‘‘take’’ means to harass, hunt, capture, or kill or to attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill any marine mammal.

Authorization for incidental taking, in the form of annual LOAs, may be granted by NMFS for periods up to five years if NMFS finds, after notice and opportunity for public comment, that the total taking over the five-year period 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 (i.e., mitigation), and on the availability of the species for subsistence uses, paying particular attention to rookeries, mating rounds, and areas of similar significance. The regulations also must include requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of such taking.

Regulations governing the taking of marine mammals incidental to EROS were published on June 19, 2008 (73 FR 34875), and remain in effect through July 19, 2013. For detailed information on this action, please refer to that Federal Register notice. The species that applicants may take in small numbers during EROS activities are bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops
truncatus ), Atlantic spotted dolphins ( Stenella frontalis ), pantropical spotted dolphins ( Stenella attenuata ), Clymene dolphins ( Stenella clymene ), striped dolphins ( Stenella coeruleoalba ), spinner dolphins ( Stenella longirostris ), rough-toothed dolphins ( Steno bredanensis), Risso’s dolphins ( Grampus griseus ), melon-headed whales ( Peponocephala electra ), shortfinned pilot whales ( Globicephala macrorhynchus), and sperm whales ( Physeter macrocephalus). NMFS received requests for a LOA from ExxonMobil Production Company (ExxonMobil) for activities covered by EROS regulations.
Reporting

ExxonMobil has not used explosives for any rig structure removal operations under the 2011 to 2012 LOA.

Pursuant to these regulations, NMFS has issued an LOA to ExxonMobil. Issuance of the LOA is based on a finding made in the preamble to the final rule that the total taking over the five-year period (with monitoring, mitigation, and reporting measures) will have a negligible impact on the affected species or stock(s) of marine mammals and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on subsistence uses. NMFS will review reports to ensure that the applicant is in compliance with meeting the requirements contained in the implementing regulations and LOA, including monitoring, mitigation, and reporting requirements.

Dated: June 25, 2012. Helen M. Golde, Acting Director, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
