17034 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 57 / Friday, March 23, 2012 / Notices 

has been made in the estimated takes 

from the 2011 LOA. 

Summary of Monitoring, Reporting, 

and Other Requirements Under the 

2009 LOA 

In the 2011 LOA and regulations, the 

Navy is required to submit annual 

Range Complex monitoring and exercise 

reports by March 1, covering through 

January 1 of the same year. However, 

NMFS realized that the LOA for the 

GOMEX Range Complex training 

activities expires on March 17. To allow 

adequate time to review these reports 

for the issuance of future LOA renewal 

and rulemakings, the due date of these 

reports is changed to November 1, 

covering the period through August 1 of 

the pervious year. 

Annual Range Complex Exercise Report 

The Navy submitted their 2011 

annual Range Complex training 

activities reports covering the period 

from the dates when Range Complex 

LOAs became effective through January 

2012, and the reports are posted on 

NMFS Web site: http:// 

www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/ 

incidental.htm#applications. In the case 

of GOMEX Range Complex, the Navy 

reported that there were no training 

events during the reporting period 

between March 2011 and January 2012. 

Monitoring and Annual Monitoring 

Reports 

The Navy submitted the Range 

Complex marine species monitoring 

reports within the required timeframes 

and they are posted on NMFS Web site: 

http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/ 

incidental.htm#applications. Since 

there were no training events conducted 

between March 2011 and January 2012 

at the GOMEX Range Complex, no 

monitoring opportunities were available 

during that period. 

Adaptive Management 

In general, adaptive management 

allows NMFS to consider new 

information from different sources to 

determine (with input from the Navy 

regarding practicability) if monitoring 

efforts should be modified if new 

information suggests that such 

modifications are appropriate. All of the 

5-year rules and LOAs issued to the 

Navy include an adaptive management 

component, which includes an annual 

meeting between NMFS and the Navy. 

NMFS and the Navy conducted an 

adaptive management meeting in 

October, 2011, which representatives 

from the Marine Mammal Commission 

participated in, wherein we reviewed 

the Navy monitoring results through 

August 1, 2011, discussed other Navy 

research and development efforts, and 

discussed other new information that 

could potentially inform decisions 

regarding Navy mitigation and 

monitoring. No changes were proposed 

for the 2012 monitoring plan for the 

Navy’s GOMEX Range Complex training 

activities. 

2011 Monitoring Meeting 

The regulations that established the 

framework for authorizing the taking of 

marine mammals incidental to Navy 

RDT&E activities required the Navy, 

with guidance and support from NMFS, 

to convene a Monitoring Workshop in 

2011 (50 CFR 218.184(i)). The Marine 

Mammal Monitoring Workshop, which 

included scientists, representatives from 

non-governmental organization, and 

Marine Mammal Commission staff, took 

place in June 2011. Pursuant to the 

regulations, this workshop presented a 

consolidated overview of monitoring 

activities conducted in 2010, as well as 

the outcomes of selected monitoringrelated research. In 2010, the Navy 

convened a Scientific Advisory Group 

(SAG), comprised of experts in the 

fields of marine mammals and 

underwater acoustics, to review the 

Navy’s current monitoring plans and 

make recommendations. The results of 

the SAG’s review were also presented at 

the meeting. Participants engaged in 

open discussion of the lessons learned, 

and discussed how to improve the 

Navy’s monitoring plan moving 

forward. If changes to monitoring 

approaches are identified during future 

workshops that can be implemented 

during the annual LOA renewal process 

and subsequent 5-year regulations, the 

Navy and NMFS will modify the Navywide monitoring plan and propose 

appropriate changes to the monitoring 

measures in specific LOAs for the 

different Range Complexes and study 

areas. For Range Complexes or study 

areas with substantive monitoring 

modifications, NMFS will subsequently 

publish proposed LOAs, with the 

modifications, in the Federal Register 

and solicit public input. After 

addressing public comments and 

making changes as appropriate, NMFS 

will issue new training area LOAs that 

reflect the new Navy-wide monitoring 

plan. 

Authorization 

Since there are no changes in the 

Navy’s proposed training activities at 

the GOMEX Range Complex, NMFS’ 

determination that the Navy’s GOMEX 

Range Complex training activities will 

have no more than a negligible impact 

on the affected species or stocks of 

marine mammals in the action area, as 

described in the original regulations, is 

still valid. There is no subsistence use 

of marine mammals that could 

potentially be impacted by the Navy’s 

training activities at GOMEX Range 

Complex. Further, the level of taking 

authorized in 2012 through March 2014 

for the Navy’s GOMEX Range Complex 

training activities is consistent with our 

previous findings made for the total 

taking allowed under the GOMEX Range 

Complex regulations. Accordingly, 

NMFS has issued a two-year LOA for 

Navy’s training activities conducted at 

the GOMEX Range Complex from March 

18, 2012, through March 17, 2014.
