Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 22, 2022 / Notices 37313 

under the authority of the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations 

governing the taking, importing, and 

exporting of endangered and threatened 

species (50 CFR parts 222–226). 

Permit No. 21233–03 authorizes the 

permit holder to study sea turtles in the 

Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and 

Caribbean Sea including international 

waters. Animals for study may be 

directly captured by hand, hoop net, 

pound net, seine, cast net, tangle net, or 

trawl or obtained for study from another 

legal source such as bycatch in a 

commercial fishery. Animals captured 

in pound nets may be exposed to a 

sound source. Researchers may 

examine, mark, image, collect 

morphometrics, collect a suite of 

biological samples, and attach 

transmitters to live sea turtles before 

release. A subset of these animals may 

also undergo hearing trials or 

laparoscopy and internal tissue 

sampling when transported and 

temporarily held in a facility before 

release. A small number of 

unintentional mortalities, and collection 

of these carcasses, for each species may 

result from capture activities. In 

addition, live animals may be harassed 

during vessel and aerial surveys for 

species counts and observation. The 

permit holder requests authorization to 

reallocate the annual take of 100 green 

(Chelonia mydas), 100 Kemp’s ridley 

(Lepidochelys kempii), and 200 

loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtles 

from Table 1 to Table 2 of the permit so 

that takes to study animals that were 

legally captured under another authority 

instead may be used for the direct 

capture of these animals by trawl and 

attachment of satellite transmitters. 

Researchers will use the data to inform 

Deepwater Horizon restoration planning 

and assess the impacts and effectiveness 

of restoration activities in the northern 

Gulf of Mexico. The permit would 

remain valid until September 30, 2027.

Needs and Uses: Section 4(d) of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 

16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.) requires the 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) to adopt such regulations as it 

‘‘deems necessary and advisable to 

provide for the conservation of’’ 

threatened species. Those regulations 

may include any or all of the 

prohibitions provided in section 9(a)(1) 

of the ESA, which specifically prohibits 

‘‘take’’ of any endangered species 

(‘‘take’’ includes actions that harass, 

harm, pursue, kill, or capture). The first 

salmonid species listed by NMFS as 

threatened were protected by virtually 

blanket application of the section 9 take 

prohibitions. There are now 23 separate 

Distinct Population Segments (DPS) of 

west coast salmonids listed as 

threatened, covering a large percentage 

of the land base in California, Oregon, 

Washington and Idaho. NMFS is 

obligated to enact necessary and 

advisable protective regulations. NMFS 

makes section 9 prohibitions generally 

applicable to many of those threatened 

DPS, but also seeks to respond to 

requests from states and others to both 

provide more guidance on how to 

protect threatened salmonids and avoid 

take, and to limit the application of take 

prohibitions wherever warranted (see 70 

FR 37160, June 28, 2005, 71 FR 834, 

January 5, 2006, and 73 FR 55451, 

September 25, 2008). The regulations 

describe programs or circumstances that 

contribute to the conservation of or are 

being conducted in a way that limits 

impacts on, listed salmonids. Because 

we have determined that such 

programs/circumstances adequately 

protect listed salmonids, the regulations 

do not apply the ‘‘take’’ prohibitions to 

them. Some of these limits on the take 

prohibitions entail voluntary 

submission of a plan to NMFS and/or 

annual or occasional reports by entities 

wishing to take advantage of these 

limits, or continue within them. 

The currently approved application 

and reporting requirements apply to 

Pacific marine and anadromous fish 

species, as requirements regarding other 

species are being addressed in a 

separate information collection. 

Affected Public: Federal government; 

State, local, or tribal government; 

business or other for-profit 

organizations. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

(Army) completed a programmatic 

environmental assessment (PEA) 

regarding the impacts of stationing a 

Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF) at 13 

existing Army garrisons and joint bases, 

and is encouraging community 

participation in this process. The Army 

is making the PEA and a draft finding 

of no significant impact (FONSI) 

available for public comment. The PEA 

determined the environmental and 

socioeconomic impacts that would 

result from the Proposed Action would 

be either less than significant or 

significant but mitigable at all of the 

considered locations. The draft FONSI 

concluded that an environmental 

impact statement (EIS) is not required. 

Unless other significant impacts are 

brought to the Army’s attention during 

public review of the PEA, the Army will
