1484 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 5 / Friday, January 8, 2021 / Notices 

2019 NDAA (Pub. L. 115–232) amended 

the MMPA to allow incidental take 

regulations for military readiness 

activities to be issued for up to seven 

years. 

Summary of Request 

On October 9, 2020, NMFS received 

an adequate and complete application 

from the Navy requesting authorization 

for take of marine mammals, by Level A 

and Level B harassment incidental to 

training (categorized as military 

readiness activities) from the use of 

active sonar and other transducers and 

explosives (occurring at or near the 

surface of the water) in the TMAA 

Study Area. The requested regulations 

would be valid for seven years, from 

2022 through 2029. 

This will be the third time NMFS has 

promulgated incidental take regulations 

pursuant to the MMPA relating to 

similar military readiness activities in 

the GOA TMAA, following those 

effective from May 4, 2011 to May 4, 

2016 (76 FR 25479; May 4, 2011) and 

from April 26, 2017 to April 26, 2022 

(82 FR 19530; April 27, 2017). 

Description of the Specified Activity 

The TMAA Study Area is a temporary 

area established in conjunction with the 

Federal Aviation Administration that is 

a surface, undersea space, and airspace 

maneuver area within the GOA for 

ships, submarines, and aircraft to 

conduct required training activities. As 

depicted in Figure 1–1 of the Navy’s 

application, the TMAA is a polygon 

roughly resembling a rectangle oriented 

from northwest to southeast, 

approximately 300 nautical miles (nmi) 

(556 kilometers [km]) in length by 150 

nmi (278 km) in width, located south of 

Montague Island and east of Kodiak 

Island. 

The following types of training 

activities and exercises, which are 

classified as military readiness activities 

pursuant to section 315(f) of Public Law 

101–314 (16 U.S.C. 703), are included in 

the specified activity described in the 

Navy’s application: Air warfare, surface 

warfare, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), 

electronic warfare, Naval Special 

Warfare, strike warfare, and support 

operations. 

The Navy’s application includes 

proposed mitigation measures for 

marine mammals that would be 

implemented during training activities 

in the TMAA Study Area (see Section 

11 of the Navy’s application). Proposed 

procedural mitigation measures and 

geographic mitigation areas generally 

include: (1) The use of Lookouts to 

observe for biological resources and 

communicate the need for mitigation 

implementation; (2) powerdowns, 

shutdowns, and delay of starts to avoid 

exposure of marine mammals to high 

levels of sound or explosive blasts more 

likely to result in injury or more serious 

behavioral disruption; and (3) limiting 

the use of active sonar or explosives in 

certain biologically important areas to 

reduce the probability or severity of 

impacts when they are more likely to 

contribute to fitness impacts (see Figure 

11–1 of the Navy’s application). 

The Navy also proposes to undertake 

monitoring and reporting efforts to track 

compliance with incidental take 

authorizations and to help investigate 

the effectiveness of implemented 

mitigation measures in the TMAA Study 

Area. This includes Adaptive 

Management, the Integrated 

Comprehensive Monitoring Program, 

the Strategic Planning Process, and 

Annual Monitoring and Activity 

Reports. As an example, under the 

Integrated Comprehensive Monitoring 

Program, the monitoring relating to the 

effects of Navy training activities on 

protected marine species are designed to 

increase the understanding of the likely 

occurrence of marine mammals in the 

vicinity of the action (i.e., presence, 

abundance, distribution, and density of 

species) and to increase the 

understanding of the nature, scope, or 

context of the likely exposure of marine 

mammals to any of the potential 

stressors associated with the action. 

Information Solicited 

Interested persons may submit 

information, suggestions, and comments 

concerning the Navy’s request (see 

ADDRESSES). NMFS will consider all 

information, suggestions, and comments 

related to the request during the 

development of proposed regulations 

governing the incidental taking of 

marine mammals by the Navy, if 

appropriate.
