27624 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 89 / Monday, May 9, 2022 / Notices 

sea lion (Western DPS), which are listed 

under the ESA. 

The Permit and Conservation Division 

has requested initiation of Section 7 

consultation with the NMFS Alaska 

Region for the issuance of these two 

IHAs. NMFS will conclude the ESA 

consultation prior to reaching a 

determination regarding the proposed 

issuance of the authorization. 

Proposed Authorization 

As a result of these preliminary 

determinations, NMFS proposes to issue 

two consecutive IHAs to Hilcorp for its 

tugs towing a jack-up rig in Cook Inlet 

in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 open 

water seasons, provided the previously 

mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements are incorporated. 

Drafts of the proposed IHAs can be 

found at https://www.fisheries.

noaa.gov/permit/incidental-takeauthorizations-under-marine-mammalprotection-act. 

Request for Public Comments 

We request comment on our analyses, 

the proposed authorizations, and any 

other aspect of this notice of proposed 

IHAs for the proposed tug towing jackup rig activity. We also request at this 

time comment on the potential renewal 

of this proposed IHA as described in the 

paragraph below. Please include with 

your comments any supporting data or 

literature citations to help inform 

decisions on the request for this IHA or 

a subsequent Renewal IHA. 

On a case-by-case basis, NMFS may 

issue a one-time, one-year Renewal IHA 

following notice to the public providing 

an additional 15 days for public 

comments when (1) up to another year 

of identical or nearly identical activities 

as described in the Description of 

Proposed Activities section of this 

notice is planned or (2) the activities as 

described in the Description of 

Proposed Activities section of this 

notice would not be completed by the 

time the IHA expires and a renewal 

would allow for completion of the 

activities beyond that described in the 

Dates and Duration section of this 

notice, provided all of the following 

conditions are met: 

• A request for renewal is received no 

later than 60 days prior to the needed 

Renewal IHA effective date (recognizing 

that the Renewal IHA expiration date 

cannot extend beyond one year from 

expiration of the initial IHA). 

• The request for renewal must 

include the following: 

(1) An explanation that the activities 

to be conducted under the requested 

Renewal IHA are identical to the 

activities analyzed under the initial 

IHA, are a subset of the activities, or 

include changes so minor (e.g., 

reduction in pile size) that the changes 

do not affect the previous analyses, 

mitigation and monitoring 

requirements, or take estimates (with 

the exception of reducing the type or 

amount of take). 

(2) A preliminary monitoring report 

showing the results of the required 

monitoring to date and an explanation 

showing that the monitoring results do 

not indicate impacts of a scale or nature 

not previously analyzed or authorized. 

Upon review of the request for 

renewal, the status of the affected 

species or stocks, and any other 

pertinent information, NMFS 

determines that there are no more than 

minor changes in the activities, the 

mitigation and monitoring measures 

will remain the same and appropriate, 

and the findings in the initial IHA 

remain valid.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Massachusetts Division of Marine 

Fisheries (MA DMF) submitted a 

complete application on April 8, 2022, 

for an Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) to 

conduct a lobster abundance survey that 

Federal regulations would otherwise 

restrict. The purpose of this study is to 

provide fishery-independent data on 

lobster growth and abundance in 

Massachusetts state waters of statistical 

areas 514 and 538. This EFP would 

authorize up to seven vessels to conduct 

larval sampling in Lobster Conservation 

Management Area 1 and 2. A map of 

this area is available at: https://

www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resource/map/ 

lobster-management-areas. 

For this project, MA DMF is 

requesting exemptions from the 

following Federal lobster regulations: 

1. Gear specification requirements to 

allow for the use of traps without escape 

vents (50 CFR 697.21(c)(1) for Lobster 

Management Area 1 and § 697.21(c)(2) 

for Area 2); 

2. Trap limit requirements to allow for 

trap limits to be exceeded (§ 697.19(a) 

for Area 1 and § 697.19(b) for Lobster 

Management Area 2); 

3. Trap tag requirements to allow for 

alternatively-tagged traps (§ 697.19(i)); 

4. Minimum and maximum carapace 

length requirements to allow sub-legal 

and over-sized lobsters to be landed for 

research purposes (§ 697.20(a)(2) and 

697.20(b)(2) for Area 1, and 

§ 697.20(a)(3) and 697.20(b)(3) for Area 

2); 

5. V-notch possession requirement to 

allow landing of female lobsters for 

research purposes (§ 697.20(g)(1) for 

Area 1 and § 697.20(g)(3) for Area 2); 

6. Berried female possession 

requirement to allow landing of eggbearing female lobsters for research 

purposes (§ 697.20(d)(1)and(3)); 

7. Minimum carapace width 

requirements to allow sub-legal Jonah 

crabs to be landed for research purposes 

(§ 697.20(h)(1)); and 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 89 / Monday, May 9, 2022 / Notices 27625 

8. Berried female possession 

requirement to allow landing of eggbearing female Jonah crabs for research 

purposes (§ 697.20(h)(2)(i) and (ii)). 

This survey has occurred annually 

since 2006 in Massachusetts state 

waters. The EFP would authorize three 

participating vessels to deploy three 

standard and three ventless traps per 

six-pot trawl. Stations would be 

sampled twice per month from June 

through October 2022. Sampling trips 

would occur after a soak time of 

approximately 3 days and at least one 

MA DMF scientist would be on board 

for the sampling trips. MA DMF 

personnel would not be on board when 

traps are baited and deployed. All gear 

would be Atlantic Large Whale Take 

Reduction Plan compliant. Survey traps 

will be separate from each vessel’s 

commercial lobster traps and would be 

tagged as, ‘‘MADMF Research Traps.’’ 

All catch during sampling trips would 

be retained temporarily to collect 

biological data. MA DMF staff may 

collect lobsters and/or Jonah crabs, 

including undersized, oversized, vnotched, and egg-bearing females. 

Collected samples would be used for 

research projects on growth and 

maturity. No catch from the 

experimental trips would be landed for 

sale. 

If approved, MA DMF may request 

minor modifications and extensions to 

the EFP throughout the study. EFP 

modifications and extensions may be 

granted without further notice if they 

are deemed essential to facilitate 

completion of the proposed research 

and have minimal impacts that do not 

change the scope or impact of the 

initially approved EFP request. Any 

fishing activity conducted outside the 

scope of the exempted fishing activity 

would be prohibited.

Advocacy Program (FAP) within the 

DoD’s Office of the Deputy Assistant 

Secretary of Defense (OSD) is requesting 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance for the New Parent Support 

Program (NPSP) Evaluation. OSD FAP 

contracted with Pennsylvania State 

University for this data collection to 

assist in understanding the benefits and 

limitations of using a DoD developed, 

standardized, evidence-informed home 

visitation curriculum (i.e., Take Root 

Home Visitation [TRHV]) within the 

NPSP. TRHV is a tailorable home 

visitation curriculum that addresses risk 

and protective factors for child 

maltreatment, which is a primary focus 

of NPSP home visitation. TRHV is 

designed to be used by home visitors to 

structure their time with their clients 

and their families. TRHV helps home 

visitors actively work with parents to 

strengthen core parenting skills, 

improve the parent-child bond, and 

promote positive child development. 

During visits, home visitors will use 

TRHV to collaborate with parents on 

identifying areas of strength and 

challenge, discuss ideas and strategies 

that can help parents achieve their 

goals, engage in role play or other skill 

building activities to help parents 

master core concepts, observe parents as 

they interact with their child and 

provide feedback, provide parents with 

handouts and other relevant materials, 

and assign skill practice homework to 

be completed between visits.
