of causing TTS; and (3) the likelihood 

that marine mammal detection ability 

by trained observers is high at that short 

distance from the vessel. As a result, no 

take by injury or death is anticipated or 

authorized and the potential for 

temporary or permanent hearing 

impairment is very low and will be 

avoided through the incorporation of 

the required mitigation measures. 

While the number of potential 

incidental harassment takes will depend 

on the distribution and abundance of 

marine mammals in the vicinity of the 

survey activity, the number of potential 

harassment takings is estimated to be 

small, less than a percent of any of the 

estimated population sizes, and has 

been mitigated to the lowest level 

practicable through incorporation of the 

measures mentioned previously in this 

document. 

Authorization 

As a result of these determinations, 

NMFS has issued an IHA to SIO for 

conducting a low-energy seismic survey 

in the Pacific Ocean during September, 

2007, provided the previously 

mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements are incorporated.
