SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Promoting Research and 

Observations of Space Weather to 

Improve the Forecasting of Tomorrow 

(PROSWIFT) Act, 51 U.S.C. 60601 et 

seq., the Administrator of NOAA and 

the National Science and Technology 

Council’s Space Weather Operations, 

Research, and Mitigation (SWORM) 

Subcommittee established the Space 

Weather Advisory Group (SWAG) on 

April 21, 2021. The SWAG is the only 

Federal Advisory Committee that 

advises and informs the interest and 

work of the SWORM. The SWAG is to 

receive advice from the academic 

community, the commercial space 

weather sector, and nongovernmental 

space weather end users to carry out the 

responsibilities of the SWAG set forth in 

the PROSWIFT Act, 51 U.S.C. 60601 et 

seq. 

The SWAG is directed to advise the 

SWORM on the following: Facilitating 

advances in the space weather 

enterprise of the United States; 

improving the ability of the United 

States to prepare for, mitigate, respond 

to, and recover from space weather 

phenomena; enabling the coordination 

and facilitation of research to operations 

and operations to research, as described 

in section 60604(d) of title 51, United 

States Code; and developing and 

implementing the integrated strategy 

under 51 U.S.C. 60601(c), including 

subsequent updates and reevaluations. 

The SWAG shall also conduct a 

comprehensive survey of the needs of 

users of space weather products to 

identify the space weather research, 

observations, forecasting, prediction, 

and modeling advances required to 

improve space weather products, as 

required by 51 U.S.C. 60601(d)(3). 

Matters To Be Considered 

The meeting will be open to the 

public. During the meeting, the 

Committee will discuss the PROSWIFT 

Act, 51 U.S.C. 60601 et seq., directed 

duties of the SWAG including the 

required 51 U.S.C. 60601(d)(3) user 

survey. The full agenda will be 

published on the SWAG website.

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to the Punta 

Gorda Lighthouse Stabilization Project 

in Humboldt County, California 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance of an incidental 

harassment authorization (IHA). 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

regulations implementing the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) as 

amended, notification is hereby given 

that NMFS has issued an IHA to the 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to 

incidentally harass marine mammals 

during construction activities associated 

with the Punta Gorda Lighthouse (PGL) 

Stabilization Project in Humboldt 

County, California. There are no 

changes from the proposed 

authorization in this final authorization. 

DATES: This Authorization is effective 

from June 1, 2022 through October 1, 

2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy Fowler, Office of Protected 

Resources, NMFS, (301) 427–8401. 

Electronic copies of the application and 

supporting documents, as well as a list 

of the references cited in this document, 

may be obtained online at: https://

these documents, please call the contact 

listed above. 

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 

proposed or, if the taking is limited to 

harassment, a notice of a proposed 

incidental harassment authorization is 

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 the 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 the takings are set forth. 

Summary of Request 

On August 30, 2021, NMFS received 

a request from the BLM for an IHA to 

take marine mammals incidental to the 

PGL Stabilization Project in Humboldt 

County, California. The application was 

deemed adequate and complete on 

February 15, 2022. The BLM’s request is 

for take of a small number of northern 

elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris), 

Pacific harbor seals (Phoca vitulina 

richardii), California sea lions 

(Zalophus californianus), and Steller 

sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) by Level 

B harassment only. Neither the BLM nor 

NMFS expects serious injury or 

mortality to result from this activity 

and, therefore, an IHA is appropriate. 

There are no changes from the 

proposed IHA to the final IHA. 

Description of Planned Activity 

Overview 

The PGL was established as an aid to 

navigation in 1912 along the northern 

California coast. While in use, the 

lighthouse station included the 

lighthouse, oil house, three residences, 

and numerous other small buildings 

typical of small military outposts. 

Although the lighthouse is located on 

the mainland, maintaining the station in 

the remote and rugged location along 

the coast proved to be too difficult and 

the U.S. Coast Guard decommissioned 

the lighthouse in 1951. The BLM 

assumed management of the site 

following the PGL’s decommission but 

was unable to keep up with the 

maintenance and after the windy ocean 

environment took a toll on the site, the 

BLM intentionally burned down the 

wooden structures of the station. The 

concrete lighthouse and oil house were 

all that remained when the site was 

listed in the National Registry of 

Historic Places in 1976. 

The BLM plans to stabilize the 

lighthouse site, repair the remaining 

structures, and rebuild former structures 

between June 1, 2022 and October 1, 

2022 on up to 122 days of work. The 

lighthouse is located along the Lost 

Coast Trail, which extends from the 

Mattole River to Shelter Cove, 

California, covering approximately 40 

kilometers (km) (24.8 miles (mi)).The 

BLM will access the PGL by traveling 

along the coast from the north, 

originating at either the Windy Point 

Trailhead or the Trailhead at the 

Mattole Campground. 

A detailed description of the planned 

construction activities at the PGL is 

provided in the Federal Register notice 

of the proposed IHA (87 FR 24517; April 

26, 2022). Since that time, no changes 

have been made to the project activities. 

Therefore, a detailed description is not 

provided here. Please refer to that 

Federal Register notice for the 

description of the specified activities. 

Mitigation, monitoring, and reporting 

measures are described in detail later in 

this document (please see Mitigation 

and Monitoring and Reporting sections).

an IHA to the BLM was published in the
