25970 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 86 / Friday, May 3, 2013 / Notices 

As mentioned previously, NMFS 

estimates that 3 species of marine 

mammals under its jurisdiction could be 

potentially affected by Level B 

harassment over the course of the IHA. 

It is estimated that 600 individual 

Pacific harbor seals, 2 individual 

California sea lions, and 1 northern 

elephant seal will be taken (multiple 

times) by Level B harassment, which 

would be approximately 1.98, less than 

0.01, and less than 0.01 of the respective 

stocks. The population estimates for the 

marine mammal species that may be 

taken by Level B harassment were 

provided in Table 2 of this document. 

NMFS’s practice has been to apply the 

90 dB re 20 mPa and 100 dB re 20 mPa 

received level threshold for in-air sound 

levels to determine whether take by 

Level B harassment occurs. Southall et 

al. (2007) provide a severity scale for 

ranking observed behavioral responses 

of both free-ranging marine mammals 

and laboratory subjects to various types 

of anthropogenic sound (see Table 4 in 

Southall et al. [2007]). NMFS has not 

established a threshold for Level A 

harassment (injury) for marine 

mammals exposed to in-air noise, 

however, Southall et al. (2007) 

recommends 149 dB re 20 mPa (peak 

flat) as the potential threshold for injury 

from in-air noise for all pinnipeds. No 

in-air sounds from demolition and 

construction activities will exceed 110 

dB at the source. 

While behavioral modifications, 

including temporarily vacating the area 

during the demolition and construction 

activities, may be made by these species 

to avoid the resultant acoustic 

disturbance, the availability of alternate 

areas within these areas for species and 

the short and sporadic duration of the 

activities, have led NMFS to 

preliminarily determine that the taking 

by Level B harassment from the 

specified activity will have a negligible 

impact on the affected species in the 

specified geographic region. NMFS 

believes that the time period of the 

demolition and construction activities, 

the requirement to implement 

mitigation measures (e.g., prohibiting 

demolition and construction activities 

during pupping season, scheduling 

operations to periods of the lowest haulout occurrence, and visual and acoustic 

barriers), and the inclusion of the 

monitoring and reporting measures, will 

reduce the amount and severity of the 

potential impacts from the activity to 

the degree that will have a negligible 

impact on the species or stocks in the 

action area. 

NMFS has preliminarily determined, 

provided that the aforementioned 

mitigation and monitoring measures are 

implemented, that the impact of the 

demolition and construction activities at 

the Children’s Pool Lifeguard Station in 

La Jolla, California, June to December, 

2013, may result, at worst, in a 

temporary modification in behavior 

and/or low-level physiological effects 

(Level B harassment) of small numbers 

of certain species of marine mammals. 

See Table 2 for the requested authorized 

take numbers of marine mammals. 

Impact on Availability of Affected 

Species or Stock for Taking for 

Subsistence Uses 

Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA 

also requires NMFS to determine that 

the authorization will not have an 

unmitigable adverse effect on the 

availability of marine mammal species 

or stocks for subsistence use. There are 

no relevant subsistence uses of marine 

mammals in the study area (off of 

southern California in the northeast 

Pacific Ocean) that implicate MMPA 

section 101(a)(5)(D). 

Endangered Species Act 

NMFS (Permits and Conservation 

Division) has determined that a section 

7 consultation for the issuance of an 

IHA under section 101(a)(5)(D) of the 

MMPA for this activity is not necessary 

for any ESA-listed marine mammal 

species under its jurisdiction as the 

proposed action will not affect ESAlisted species. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

NMFS will conduct a NEPA analysis 

to evaluate the effects of authorizing the 

proposed take of marine mammals prior 

to making a final determination on the 

issuance of the IHA. This notice, and 

referenced documents, including the 

IHA application provide the 

environmental issues and information 

relevant to the demolition and 

construction activities as well as those 

specific to NMFS’s issuance of the IHA. 

Proposed Authorization 

NMFS proposes to issue an IHA to the 

City of San Diego, provided the 

previously mentioned mitigation, 

monitoring, and reporting requirements 

are incorporated. The duration of the 

IHA would not exceed one year from the 

date of its issuance. 

Information Solicited 

NMFS requests interested persons to 

submit comments and information 

concerning this proposed project and 

NMFS’s preliminary determination of 

issuing an IHA (see ADDRESSES). 

Concurrent with the publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register, NMFS is 

forwarding copies of this application to 

the Marine Mammal Commission and 

its Committee of Scientific Advisors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additions 

On 9/23/2011 (76 FR 59117–59118) 

and 3/15/2013 (78 FR 16475–16476), the 

Committee for Purchase From People 

Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled 

published notices of proposed additions 

to the Procurement List. 

After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 

the services and impact of the additions 

on the current or most recent 

contractors, the Committee has 

determined that the services listed 

below are suitable for procurement by 

the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 

8501–8506 and 41 CFR 51–2.4. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

I certify that the following action will 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The major factors considered for this 

certification were: 

1. The action will not result in any 

additional reporting, recordkeeping or 

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small 

organizations that will furnish the 

services to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to furnish the 

services to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in 

connection with the services proposed 

for addition to the Procurement List.
