ACTION: Notice of issuance of a letter of

authorization.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Marine Mammal Protection Act

(MMPA), as amended, and

implementing regulations, notification

is hereby given that a 1-year letter of

authorization to take small numbers of

seals and sea lions was issued on May

31, 2000, to the 30th Space Wing, U.S.

Air Force.

ADDRESSES: The letter of authorization

and supporting documentation are

available for review during regular

business hours in the following offices:

Office of Protected Resources, NMFS,

1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring,

MD 20910, and the Southwest Region,

Kenneth R. Hollingshead, Office of

Protected Resources, NMFS, (301) 713–

2055, or Christina Fahy, NMFS, (562)

980–4023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C.

1361 et seq.) directs NMFS to allow, on

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 if certain findings

are made and regulations are issued.

Under the MMPA, the term ‘‘taking’’

means to harass, hunt, capture, or kill or

to attempt to harass, hunt, capture or

kill marine mammals.

Permission may be granted for periods

up to 5 years if NMFS finds, after

notification and opportunity for public

comment, that the taking will have a

negligible impact on the species or

stock(s) of marine mammals and will

not have an unmitigable adverse impact

on the availability of the species or

stock(s) for subsistence uses. In

addition, NMFS must prescribe

regulations that include permissible

methods of taking and other means

effecting the least practicable adverse

impact on the species and its habitat

and on the availability of the species for

subsistence uses, paying particular

attention to rookeries, mating grounds,

and areas of similar significance. The

regulations must include requirements

pertaining to the monitoring and

reporting of such taking. Regulations

governing the taking of seals and sea

lions incidental to missile and rocket

launches, aircraft flight test operations,

and helicopter operations at Vandenberg

Air Force Base, CA were published on

March 1, 1999 (64 FR 9925), and remain

in effect until December 31, 2003.

Issuance of this letter of authorization

is based on a finding that the total

takings will have no more than a

negligible impact on the seal and sea

lion populations off the Vandenberg

coast and on the Northern Channel

Islands.

Dated: May 31, 2000.
