Seamless Acceptance Incentive 

USPS is providing a $.001 per 

mailpiece incentive. The incentive is 

available for First-Class Mail, USPS 

Marketing Mail, Periodicals and Bound 

Printed Matter mail flats that use the 

Full-Service Intelligent Mail barcode 

(IMb) option. The change provides an 

incentive to the Electronic 

Documentation (eDoc) submitters (with 

a Seamless CRID and an Enterprise 

Payment System Account) for adoption 

of the program. The incentive would be 

based on the eDoc submitter’s Customer 

Registration ID (CRID). 

A Seamless Mailer is defined by their 

CRID’s status in PostalOne! as 

‘‘Seamless Acceptance.’’ Note: Seamless 

Parallel does not qualify for the 

discount. The proposal is to allow 

Electronic Documentation (eDoc) 

submitters to receive a Seamless 

Acceptance incentive for the pieces that 

claim Full-Service prices in the mailing, 

provided the eDoc submitter has an 

Enterprise Payment account that is used 

for the incentive. 

• The incentive is available to all 

eDoc submitters with a Seamless 

Acceptance CRID and an Enterprise 

Payment account who enroll in 

PostalOne! 

• The incentive is applied to the 

Enterprise Payment account that 

corresponds with the permit selected 

during registration to receive the 

discount. 

• A permit that corresponds with an 

Enterprise Payment trust or ACH debit 

account must be selected, in PostalOne!, 

to receive the incentive. Trust accounts 

will receive the incentive upon postage 

statement finalization and ACH debit 

accounts will receive the incentive as a 

daily aggregate. 

• Mail.dat changes: No impact—Use 

existing Segment Record’s (.seg) ‘‘eDoc 

Sender CRID’’ field to identify the CRID 

of the eDoc submitter. 

• Mail.XML changes: No impact—Use 

existing OpenMailingGroupRequest > 

MailingGroupData > 

MailingFacilityfield to identify the CRID 

of the eDoc submitter. 

• Postage Statement Changes: No 

impact—For eligible mailings the 

postage may be paid using any 

authorized payment account. 

• Intelligent Mail for Small 

Business—Mailing Agent CRID (same as 

Permit Holder CRID) is used as the eDoc 

Submitter CRID.

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to Ice Roads and 

Ice Trails Construction and 

Maintenance Activities on Alaska’s 

North Slope 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule; notification of 

issuance of Letters of Authorization. 

SUMMARY: Upon application from 

Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp) and Eni 

US Operating Co. Inc. (Eni), NMFS is 

issuing regulations under the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) for the 

taking of small numbers of marine 

mammals incidental to ice road and ice 

trail construction, maintenance, and 

operation in Alaska’s North Slope, over 

the course of 5 years (2020–2025). These 

regulations allow NMFS to issue Letters 

of Authorization (LOA) for the 

incidental take of marine mammals 

during the specified construction and 

maintenance activities carried out 

during the rule’s period of effectiveness, 

set forth the permissible methods of 

taking, set forth other means of effecting 

the least practicable adverse impact on 

marine mammal species or stocks and 

their habitat, and set forth requirements 

pertaining to the monitoring and 

reporting of the incidental take. 

DATES: Effective December 22, 2020 

through November 30, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need for Regulatory 

Action 

This final rule establishes a 

framework under the authority of the 

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) to allow 

for the authorization of take of marine 

mammals incidental to Hilcorp and 

Eni’s ice roads and ice trails 

construction and maintenance activities 

on Alaska’s North Slope. 

We received an application from 

Hilcorp and Eni requesting 5-year 

regulations and authorization to take 

marine mammals. Take would occur by 

Level B harassment, Level A harassment 

and serious injury and/or mortality 

incidental to ice roads and ice trails 

construction and maintenance. Please 

see Background below for definitions of 

harassment. 

Legal Authority for the Action 

Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16 

U.S.C. 1371(a)(5)(A)) directs the 

Secretary of Commerce to allow, upon 

request, the incidental, but not 

intentional taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who 

engage in a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing) within a specified 

geographical region for up to 5 years if, 

after notice and public comment, the 

agency makes certain findings and 

issues regulations that set forth 

permissible methods of taking pursuant 

to that activity and other means of 

effecting the ‘‘least practicable adverse 

impact’’ on the affected species or 

stocks and their habitat (see the 

discussion below in the Mitigation 

section), as well as monitoring and 

reporting requirements. Section 

101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA and the 

implementing regulations at 50 CFR part 

216, subpart I provide the legal basis for 

issuing this rule containing 5-year 

regulations and for any subsequent 

LOAs. As directed by this legal 

authority, this rule contains mitigation, 

monitoring, and reporting requirements. 

Summary of Major Provisions Within 

the Rule 

Following is a summary of the major 

provisions of this rule regarding Hilcorp 

and Eni’s construction activities. These 

measures include: 

• No initiation of ice road or trail 

construction if a ringed seal is observed 

within approximately 46 meters (m) 

(150 feet (ft)) of the action area after 

March 1 through May 30 of each year. 

• Requiring monitoring of the 

construction areas to detect the presence 

of marine mammals before beginning 

construction activities. 

Background 

The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of 

marine mammals with certain 

exceptions. Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and 

(D) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et 

seq.) direct the Secretary of Commerce 

(as delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon
