Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 235 / Monday, December 8, 2014 / Notices 72653 

Post Mission 

• Post-mission surveys will 

commence as soon as Explosive 

Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel 

declare the test area safe. These surveys 

will be conducted by the same vesselbased observers that conducted the premission surveys. 

• Survey vessels will move into the 

applicable ZOI from outside the safety 

zone and monitor for at least 30 

minutes, concentrating on the area 

down-current of the test site. Any 

marine mammals killed or injured as a 

result of the test will be documented 

and immediately reported to the NMFS 

Southeast Region Marine Mammal 

Stranding Network at 877–433–8299 

(Blair.Mase@noaa.gov and 

Erin.Fougeres@noaa.gov) and the 

Florida Marine Mammal Stranding 

Hotline at 888–404–3922. The species, 

number, location, and behavior of any 

animals observed will be documented 

and reported. 

• If post-mission surveys determine 

that an injury or lethal take of a marine 

mammal has occurred, the next 

maritime strike mission will be 

suspended until the test procedure and 

the monitoring methods have been 

reviewed with NMFS and appropriate 

changes made. 

5. Monitoring 

The holder of this Authorization is 

required to cooperate with the National 

Marine Fisheries Service and any other 

Federal, state or local agency monitoring 

the impacts of the activity on marine 

mammals. 

The holder of this Authorization will 

track their use of the EGTTR for the 

Maritime WSEP missions and marine 

mammal observations, through the use 

of mission reporting forms. 

Maritime strike missions will 

coordinate with other activities 

conducted in the EGTTR (e.g., Precision 

Strike Weapon and Air-to-Surface 

Gunnery missions) to provide 

supplemental post-mission observations 

of marine mammals in the operations 

area of the exercise. 

Any dead or injured marine mammals 

observed or detected prior to testing or 

injured or killed during live drops, must 

be immediately reported to the NMFS 

Southeast Region Marine Mammal 

Stranding Network at 877–433–8299 

(Blair.Mase@noaa.gov and 

Erin.Fougeres@noaa.gov) and the 

Florida Marine Mammal Stranding 

Hotline at 888–404–3922. 

Any unauthorized impacts on marine 

mammals must be immediately reported 

to Dr. Roy E. Crabtree, the National 

Marine Fisheries Service’s Southeast 

Regional Administrator, at 727–842– 

5312 or Roy.Crabtree@noaa.gov, and 

Jolie Harrison, Chief, Permits and 

Conservation Division, Office of 

Protected Resources at 301–427–8401 or 

Jolie.Harrison@noaa.gov. 

The monitoring team will document 

any marine mammals that were killed or 

injured as a result of the test and, if 

practicable, coordinate with the local 

stranding network and NMFS to assist 

with recovery and examination of any 

dead animals, as needed. 

Activities related to the monitoring 

described in this Authorization, 

including the retention of marine 

mammals, do not require a separate 

scientific research permit issued under 

section 104 of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act. 

6. Reporting 

A draft report of marine mammal 

observations and Maritime WSEP 

mission activities must be submitted to 

the National Marine Fisheries Service’s 

Southeast Regional Office, Protected 

Resources Division, 263 13th Ave. 

South, St. Petersburg, FL 33701 and 

NMFS’s Office of Protected Resources, 

1315 East West Highway, Silver Spring, 

MD 20910. This draft report must 

include the following information: 

• Date and time of each maritime 

strike mission; 

• A complete description of the preexercise and post-exercise activities 

related to mitigating and monitoring the 

effects of maritime strike missions on 

marine mammal populations; 

• Results of the monitoring program, 

including numbers by species/stock of 

any marine mammals noted injured or 

killed as a result of the maritime strike 

mission and number of marine 

mammals (by species if possible) that 

may have been harassed due to presence 

within the applicable ZOI; and 

• A detailed assessment of the 

effectiveness of sensor based monitoring 

in detecting marine mammals in the 

area of Maritime WSEP operations. 

The draft report will be subject to 

review and comment by the National 

Marine Fisheries Service. Any 

recommendations made by the National 

Marine Fisheries Service must be 

addressed in the final report prior to 

acceptance by the National Marine 

Fisheries Service. The draft report will 

be considered the final report for this 

activity under this Authorization if the 

National Marine Fisheries Service has 

not provided comments and 

recommendations within 90 days of 

receipt of the draft report. 

7. Additional Conditions 

• The maritime strike mission 

monitoring team will participate in the 

marine mammal species observation 

training. Designated crew members will 

be selected to receive training as 

protected species observers. Observers 

will receive training in protected 

species survey and identification 

techniques through a National Marine 

Fisheries Service-approved training 

program. 

• The holder of this Authorization 

must inform the Director, Office of 

Protected Resources, National Marine 

Fisheries Service, (301–427–8400) or 

designee (301–427–8401) prior to the 

initiation of any changes to the 

monitoring plan for a specified mission 

activity. 

• A copy of this Authorization must 

be in the possession of the safety officer 

on duty each day that maritime strike 

missions are conducted. 

• Failure to abide by the Terms and 

Conditions contained in this Incidental 

Harassment Authorization may result in 

a modification, suspension or 

revocation of the Authorization.
