PAI’s shallow hazards survey will not

have an unmitigable adverse impact on

the availability of ringed, bearded and

spotted seals needed for subsistence.

Proposed Authorization

NMFS proposes to issue an IHA to

BP/EM/PAI to take certain species of

marine mammals incidental to

conducting a shallow hazards survey

during the 2001 Alaskan Beaufort Sea

open water season, provided the

previously mentioned mitigation,

monitoring, and reporting requirements

are incorporated. NMFS has

preliminarily determined that the

proposed activity would result in the

harassment of only small numbers of

bowhead whales, beluga whales, ringed

seals, bearded seals, and possibly

spotted seals and gray whales; would

have no more than a negligible impact

on these marine mammal stocks; and

would not have an unmitigable adverse

impact on the availability of marine

mammal stocks for subsistence uses.

Information Solicited

NMFS requests interested persons to

submit comments, and information,

concerning this request (see ADDRESSES).

Dated: May 23, 2001.

Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
