Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 41 / Tuesday, March 3, 2015 / Notices 11413 

photographs or video footage of the 

animal (if equipment is available). 

Activities shall not resume until 

NMFS is able to review the 

circumstances of the prohibited take. 

NMFS shall work with Shell to 

determine what is necessary to 

minimize the likelihood of further 

prohibited take and ensure MMPA 

compliance. Shell may not resume their 

activities until notified by NMFS via 

letter, email, or telephone. 

(b) In the event that Shell discovers an 

injured or dead marine mammal, and 

the lead PSO determines that the cause 

of the injury or death is unknown and 

the death is relatively recent (i.e., in less 

than a moderate state of decomposition 

as described in the next paragraph), 

Shell will immediately report the 

incident to the Chief of the Permits and 

Conservation Division, Office of 

Protected Resources, NMFS, by phone 

or email and the NMFS Alaska 

Stranding Hotline and/or by email to the 

Alaska Regional Stranding Coordinators. 

The report must include the same 

information identified in Condition 

12(a) above. Activities may continue 

while NMFS reviews the circumstances 

of the incident. NMFS will work with 

Shell to determine whether 

modifications in the activities are 

appropriate. 

(c) In the event that Shell discovers an 

injured or dead marine mammal, and 

the lead PSO determines that the injury 

or death is not associated with or related 

to the activities authorized in Condition 

2 of this Authorization (e.g., previously 

wounded animal, carcass with moderate 

to advanced decomposition, or 

scavenger damage), Shell shall report 

the incident to the Chief of the Permits 

and Conservation Division, Office of 

Protected Resources, NMFS, by phone 

or email and the NMFS Alaska 

Stranding Hotline and/or by email to the 

Alaska Regional Stranding Coordinators, 

within 24 hours of the discovery. Shell 

shall provide photographs or video 

footage (if available) or other 

documentation of the stranded animal 

sighting to NMFS and the Marine 

Mammal Stranding Network. Activities 

may continue while NMFS reviews the 

circumstances of the incident. 

(12) The Plan of Cooperation 

outlining the steps that will be taken to 

cooperate and communicate with the 

native communities to ensure the 

availability of marine mammals for 

subsistence uses must be implemented. 

(13) Shell is required to comply with 

the Terms and Conditions of the 

Incidental Take Statement (ITS) 

corresponding to NMFS’s Biological 

Opinion issued to NMFS’s Office of 

Protected Resources. 

(14) A copy of this Authorization and 

the ITS must be in the possession of all 

contractors and PSOs operating under 

the authority of this Incidental 

Harassment Authorization. 

(15) Penalties and Permit Sanctions: 

Any person who violates any provision 

of this Incidental Harassment 

Authorization is subject to civil and 

criminal penalties, permit sanctions, 

and forfeiture as authorized under the 

MMPA. 

(16) This Authorization may be 

modified, suspended or withdrawn if 

the Holder fails to abide by the 

conditions prescribed herein or if the 

authorized taking is having more than a 

negligible impact on the species or stock 

of affected marine mammals, or if there 

is an unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of such species or stocks for 

subsistence uses.
