SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216), the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.), the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226), and the Fur Seal 

Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 

et seq.). 

The applicant proposes to conduct 

research for the Soundwatch Boater 

Education Program in the in-land waters 

of Washington State to evaluate vessel 

regulations and guidelines, characterize 

vessel trends, and prevent vessel 

disturbances to marine mammals. The 

primary target species are Southern 

Resident and transient killer whales 

(Orcinus orca), but additional species 

taken during research may include fin 

(Balaenoptera physalus), gray 

(Eschrichtius robustus), humpback 

(Megaptera novaeangliae), and minke 

(B. acutorostrata) whales; Dall’s 

(Phocoenoides dalli) and harbor 

(Phocoena phocoena) porpoises. Up to 

50 whales of each killer whale stock and 

20 individuals of each of the other 

cetacean species may be taken annually 

during vessel surveys including 

photography, photo-identification, 

video recording, and behavioral 

observations. Five species of non-listed 

pinnipeds may be unintentionally 

harassed during research activities. See 

the application for complete numbers of 

animals requested by species. The 

permit is requested for five years. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial 

determination has been made that the 

activity proposed is categorically 

excluded from the requirement to 

prepare an environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement. 

Concurrent with the publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register, 

NMFS is forwarding copies of the 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.

ACTION: Notice of proposed finding; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 

and the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) (hereafter, ‘‘the agencies’’) 

invite public comment on the agencies’ 

proposed finding that Louisiana has 

satisfied all conditions the agencies 

established as part of their 1998 

approval of the State’s coastal nonpoint 

pollution control program (coastal 

nonpoint program). The Coastal Zone 

Act Reauthorization Amendments 

(CZARA) direct states and territories 

with coastal zone management programs 

previously approved under Section 306 

of the Coastal Zone Management Act to 

develop and implement coastal 

nonpoint programs, which must be 

submitted to the Federal agencies for 

approval. Prior to making such a 

finding, NOAA and the EPA invite 

public input on the Federal agencies’ 

rationale for this proposed finding. 

DATES: Individuals or organizations 

wishing to submit comments on the 

proposed findings document should do 

so by February 28, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted by: 

• Electronic Submission: Submit all 

electronic public comments via the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal. Go to 

www.regulations.gov, enter NOAA– 

NOS–2020–0100 in the Search box, 

click the ‘‘Comment’’ icon, complete the 

required fields, and enter or attach your 

comments. 

• Mail: Submit written comments to 

Joelle Gore, Chief, Stewardship Division 

(N/OCM6), Office for Coastal 

Management, NOS, NOAA, 1305 EastWest Highway, Silver Spring, Maryland 

20910; phone (240) 533–0813; ATTN: 

Louisiana Coastal Nonpoint Program. 

Instructions: All comments received 

are a part of the public record and will 

generally be posted for public viewing 

on www.regulations.gov without change. 

All personally identifiable information 

(for example, name, address, etc.), 

confidential business information, or 

otherwise sensitive information 

submitted voluntarily by the commenter 

will be publicly accessible. NOAA and 

EPA will accept anonymous comments 

(enter ‘‘N/A’’ in the required fields if 

you wish to remain anonymous). 

Multimedia submissions (audio, video, 

etc.) must be accompanied by a written 

comment. The written comment is 

considered the official comment and 

should include discussion of all points 

you wish to make. The agencies will 

generally not consider comments or 

comment contents located outside of the 

primary submission (i.e., on the web, 

cloud, or other file sharing system). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Copies of the proposed findings 

document may be found on 

www.regulations.gov (search NOAA– 

NOS–2020–0100) and NOAA’s Coastal 

Nonpoint Pollution Control Program 

website at https://coast.noaa.gov/czm/ 

pollutioncontrol/. Additional 

background information on the State’s 

program may be obtained upon request 

from: Allison Castellan, Stewardship 

Division (N/OCM6), Office for Coastal 

Management, NOS, NOAA, 1305 EastWest Highway, Silver Spring, Maryland 

20910, phone (240) 533–0799, email: 

allison.castellan@noaa.gov; or Patty 

Taylor, U.S. EPA Region 6, EPA Region 

6 Main Office, 1201 Elm Street, Suite

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

6217(a) of the Coastal Zone Act 

Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA), 

16 U.S.C. Section 1455b(a), requires that 

each state (or territory) with a coastal 

zone management program previously 

approved under Section 306 of the 

Coastal Zone Management Act must 

prepare and submit to the agencies a 

coastal nonpoint pollution control 

program for approval. Because 

Louisiana administers a federally 

approved coastal zone management 

program, Louisiana submitted its 

program updates to the agencies for 

approval in 1997. The agencies 

provided public notice of and invited 

public comment on their proposal to 

approve, subject to specific conditions, 

the Louisiana program (62 FR 38520). 

The agencies approved the program by 

letter dated June 30, 1998, subject to the 

conditions specified at that time (63 FR 

37094). The agencies now propose to 

find, and invite public comment on the 

proposed findings, that Louisiana has 

fully satisfied the conditions associated 

with the earlier approval. 

The proposed findings document for 

Louisiana’s program is available at 

www.regulations.gov (search for NOAA– 

NOS–2020–0100) and information on 

the Coastal Nonpoint Program in general 

is available on the NOAA website at 

https://coast.noaa.gov/czm/pollution

control/.
