Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to the U.S. Navy 

Target and Missile Launch Activities 

on San Nicolas Island 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance of an incidental 

harassment authorization. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

regulations implementing the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) as 

amended, notification is hereby given 

that NMFS has issued an incidental 

harassment authorization (IHA) to the 

U.S. Navy (Navy) to incidentally harass, 

by Level B harassment only, marine 

mammals during target and missile 

launch activities on San Nicolas Island 

(SNI), California. The Navy’s activities 

are considered military readiness 

activities pursuant to the MMPA, as 

amended by the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 

(NDAA). 

DATES: This Authorization is effective 

from June 12, 2021 through June 11, 

2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Stephanie Egger, Office of Protected 

Resources, NMFS, (301) 427–8401. 

Electronic copies of the original 

application and supporting documents 

(including NMFS Federal Register 

notices of the original proposed and 

final authorizations, and the previous 

IHA), as well as a list of the references 

cited in this document, may be obtained 

online at: https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of 

marine mammals, with certain 

exceptions. Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and 

(D) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et 

seq.) direct the Secretary of Commerce 

(as delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon 

request, the incidental, but not 

intentional, taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who 

engage in a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing) within a specified 

geographical region if certain findings 

are made and either regulations are 

issued or, if the taking is limited to 

harassment, a notice of a proposed 

incidental take authorization may be 

provided to the public for review. 

Authorization for incidental takings 

shall be granted if NMFS finds that the 

taking will have a negligible impact on 

the species or stock(s) and will not have 

an unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of the species or stock(s) for 

taking for subsistence uses (where 

relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe 

the permissible methods of taking and 

other ‘‘means of effecting the least 

practicable adverse impact’’ on the 

affected species or stocks and their 

habitat, paying particular attention to 

rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of 

similar significance, and on the 

availability of such species or stocks for 

taking for certain subsistence uses 

(referred to in shorthand as 

‘‘mitigation’’); and requirements 

pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring 

and reporting of such takings are set 

forth. 

The NDAA (Pub. L. 108–136) 

removed the ‘‘small numbers’’ and 

‘‘specified geographical region’’ 

limitations indicated above and 

amended the definition of ‘‘harassment’’ 

as it applies to a ‘‘military readiness 

activity.’’ The activity for which 

incidental take of marine mammals is 

being requested addressed here qualifies 

as a military readiness activity. 

History of Request 

On March 1, 2021, NMFS received an 

adequate and complete application from 

the Navy, requesting the take of marine 

mammals incidental to target and 

missile launch activities on SNI. NMFS 

previously issued an IHA for this 

activity on June 12, 2019 (84 FR 28462; 

June 19, 2019) as well as a renewal IHA 

on June 19, 2020 (85 FR 38863; June 29, 

2020). The activities for which 

incidental take is authorized are 

identical to those covered under the 

previous IHAs. 

Navy complied with all the 

requirements (e.g., mitigation, 

monitoring, and reporting) of the 

previous authorizations and information 

regarding their monitoring results may 

be found in the Potential Effects of 

Specified Activity on Marine Mammals 

and their Habitat and Estimated Take 

section of the previous authorization (84 

FR 28462; June 19, 2019) as well https:// 

www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/ 

marine-mammal-protection/incidentaltake-authorizations-military-readinessactivities#active-authorizations. This 

IHA would cover 1 year of an on-going 

activity for which Navy obtained prior 

authorizations, specifically continuation 

of target and missile launches on SNI. 

Of note, the Navy also submitted a 

revised and complete application on 

August 28, 2020 for a 7-year rulemaking 

and Letter of Authorization (LOA) for 

the same target and missile launch 

activities on SNI, as well as other Navy 

testing and training activities in the 

same area. On September 4, 2020, 

NMFS published a notice of receipt of 

application in the Federal Register (85 

FR 55257) requesting comments and 

information related to the Navy’s 

request. However, NMFS is unable to 

make determinations regarding the 

requested LOA prior to the expiration of 

the currently active renewal IHA, which 

would leave a lapse in coverage for the 

Navy for target and missile launch 

activities on SNI after it expires on June 

11, 2021. This IHA is intended to 

provide coverage during this period and 

is valid for one year from June 12, 2021 

through June 11, 2022. 

Description of the Planned Activity and 

Anticipated Impacts 

The Navy plans to continue a target 

and missile launch program on SNI, 

located in Southern California and part 

of the Channel Islands, which is 

identical to the program covered under 

the previous authorizations. The Navy 

has been conducting this program since 

2001, which supports testing and 

training activities associated with 

operations on the Point Mugu Sea Range 

(PMSR). The PMSR is used by the U.S. 

and allied military services to test and 

evaluate sea, land, and air weapon 

systems; to provide realistic training 

opportunities; and to maintain 

operational readiness of these forces. 

Missiles vary from tactical and 

developmental weapons to target 

missiles used to test defensive strategies 

and other weapons systems. Some 

launch events involve a single missile, 

while others involve the launch of 

multiple missiles in quick succession 

and are launched from two launch sites 

on SNI. As before, the Navy proposes to 

conduct up to 40 missile launch events 

from SNI, but the total may be less than 

40 depending on operational 

requirements. Launch timing will be 

determined by operational, 

meteorological, and logistical factors. 

Up to 10 of the 40 launches may occur
