SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The National Fire Protection 

Association (NFPA) develops building, 

fire, and electrical safety codes and 

standards. Federal agencies frequently 

use these codes and standards as the 

basis for developing Federal regulations 

concerning fire safety. Often, the Office 

of the Federal Register approves the 

incorporation by reference of these 

standards under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 

CFR part 51.

Revisions of existing standards and 

adoption of new standards are reported 

by the technical committees to the 

Standards Council for issuance in 

January and July of each year. 

Documents that receive an Intent to 

Make a Motion are automatically held 

for action at the NFPA’s meeting in June 

of each year. The NFPA invites public 

comment on its Report on Proposals. 

Request for Comments 

Interested persons may participate in 

these revisions by submitting written 

data, views, or arguments to Casey C.

Incidental Take of Marine Mammals 

Incidental to Specified Activities; 

Taking of Harbor Seals Incidental to 

Wall Replacement and Bluff 

Improvement Projects at La Jolla, San 

Diego County, CA

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of issuance of an 

incidental harassment authorization.

SUMMARY: In accordance with provisions 

of the Marine Mammal Protection Act 

(MMPA) as amended, notification is 

hereby given that an Incidental 

Harassment Authorization (IHA) to take 

small numbers of marine mammals, by 

harassment, incidental to wall 

replacement and bluff improvement 

projects at La Jolla, California, has been 

issued to the City of San Diego.

DATES: Effective from September 20, 

2004, through January 1, 2005.

ADDRESSES: The application, a list of 

references used in this document, and 

the IHA are available by writing to 

Stephen L. Leathery, Chief, Permits, 

Conservation and Education Division, 

Office of Protected Resources, National 

Marine Fisheries Service, 1315 EastWest Highway, Silver Spring, MD 

20910–3225, or by telephoning the 

contact listed here.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Sarah Hagedorn, NMFS, (301) 713–2322 

or Monica DeAngelis, NMFS Southwest 

Region, (562) 980–3232.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct 

the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) 

to allow, upon request, the incidental, 

but not intentional taking of marine 

mammals by U.S. citizens who engage 

in a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing) within a specified 

geographical region if certain findings 

are made and regulations are issued.

Permission may be granted if the 

Secretary finds that the total taking will 

have a negligible impact on the species 

or stock(s), will not have an unmitigable 

adverse impact on the availability of the 

species or stock(s) for subsistence uses, 

and that the permissible methods of 

taking and requirements pertaining to 

the monitoring and reporting of such 

taking are set forth. NMFS has defined 

‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 

as ‘‘an impact resulting from the 

specified activity that cannot be 

reasonably expected to, and is not 

reasonably likely to, adversely affect the 

species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’

Subsection 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA 

established an expedited process by 

which citizens of the United States can 

apply for an authorization to 

incidentally take small numbers of 

marine mammals by harassment. Except 

for certain categories of actions not 

pertinent here, the MMPA defines 

‘‘harassment’’ as: any act of pursuit, torment, or annoyance 

which (i) has the potential to injure a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the wild 

[Level A harassment]; or (ii) has the potential 

to disturb a marine mammal or marine 

mammal stock in the wild by causing 

disruption of behavioral patterns, including, 

but not limited to, migration, breathing, 

nursing, breeding, feeding, or sheltering 

[Level B harassment].

Summary of Request

On May 27, 2004, NMFS received an 

application from the City of San Diego 

requesting an IHA for the possible
