degrees north latitude to 43 degrees 

north latitude and from 150 degrees 

west longitude to the International Date 

Line. The SOCAL Range Complex is 

located approximately between Dana 

Point, California and San Antonio, 

Mexico, and extends southwest into the 

Pacific Ocean. The PMSR is located 

adjacent to Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa 

Barbara, and San Luis Obispo Counties 

along the Pacific Coast of Southern 

California. The Silver Strand Training 

Complex is an integrated set of training 

areas located on and adjacent to the 

Silver Strand, a narrow, sandy isthmus 

separating the San Diego Bay from the 

Pacific Ocean. The NOCAL Range 

Complex consists of two separate areas 

located offshore of central and northern 

California, one northwest of San 

Francisco and the other southwest of 

Monterey Bay. Please refer to figure 1– 

1 of the application for a map of the 

HCTT Study Area, figure 2–1 through 

figure 2–6 for additional maps of the 

Hawaii Study Area and figure 2–7 

through figure 2–17 for additional maps 

of the California Study Area. 

The following types of training and 

testing, which are classified as military 

readiness activities pursuant to the 

section 315(f) of Public Law 101–314 

(16 U.S.C. 703), are included in the 

specified activity described in the 

Action Proponents application: 

• Amphibious warfare (in-water 

detonations); 

• Anti-submarine warfare (sonar and 

other transducers, in-water detonations); 

• Expeditionary warfare (in-water 

detonations, pile driving/extraction); 

• Mine warfare (sonar and other 

transducers, in-water detonations); 

• Surface warfare (in-water 

detonations); and 

• Other (sonar and other transducers, 

air guns, vessel movement, missile and 

target launch noise from locations on 

San Nicolas Island, missile and aerial 

target launch noise from the Pacific 

Missile Range Facility (PMRF), artillery 

firing noise from shore to surface 

gunnery at PMRF). 

The application includes proposed 

mitigation measures for marine 

mammals that would be implemented 

during training and testing activities in 

the HCTT Study Area (see section 11 of 

the application). Proposed procedural 

mitigation generally involves: (1) the 

use of one or more trained Lookouts to 

diligently observe for specific biological 

resources within a mitigation zone, (2) 

requirements for Lookouts to 

immediately communicate sightings of 

specific biological resources to the 

appropriate watch station for 

information dissemination, and (3) 

requirements for the watch station to 

implement mitigation (e.g., halt an 

activity) until certain recommencement 

conditions have been met. Mitigation 

measures are also proposed for specific 

mitigation areas and consist of a variety 

of measures including, but not limited 

to: conducting a certain number of 

major training exercises per year, not 

planning or avoid planning major 

training exercises, minimizing or not 

conducting active sonar, conducting a 

limited amount of hull-mounted midfrequency active sonar per year, not 

expending explosive or non-explosive 

ordnance, and implementing vessel 

speed reductions in certain 

circumstances. 

The Action Proponents also propose 

to undertake monitoring and reporting 

efforts to better understand the impacts 

of their activities on marine mammals 

and their habitat, track compliance with 

take authorizations, and to help 

investigate the effectiveness of 

implemented mitigation measures in the 

HCTT Study Area. 

Information Solicited 

Interested persons may submit 

information, suggestions, and comments 

concerning the Action Proponents’ 

request (see ADDRESSES). NMFS will 

consider all information, suggestions, 

and comments related to the request 

during the development of proposed 

regulations governing the incidental 

taking of marine mammals by the 

Action Proponents, if appropriate.
