Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 198 / Friday, October 14, 2005 / Notices 60065 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kenneth Hollingshead, NMFS, (301) 

713–2289, ext 128. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 

1361 et seq.) directs NMFS to allow, on 

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 by NMFS and regulations are 

issued. Under the MMPA, the term 

‘‘taking’’ means to harass, hunt, capture, 

or kill or to attempt to harass, hunt, 

capture or kill marine mammals. 

Permission may be granted for periods 

up to 5 years if NMFS finds, after 

notification and opportunity for public 

comment, that the taking will have a 

negligible impact on the species or 

stock(s) of marine mammals and will 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of the species or 

stock(s) for subsistence uses. In 

addition, NMFS must prescribe 

regulations that include permissible 

methods of taking and other means 

effecting the least practicable adverse 

impact on the species and its habitat 

and on the availability of the species for 

subsistence uses, paying particular 

attention to rookeries, mating grounds, 

and areas of similar significance. The 

regulations must include requirements 

pertaining to the monitoring and 

reporting of such taking. Regulations 

governing the taking incidental to 

operation of a low frequency sound 

source by NPAL were published on 

August 17, 2001 (66 FR 43442), and 

remain in effect until September 17, 

2006. 

Issuance of the letter of authorization 

to Scripps is based on findings made in 

the preamble to the final rule that the 

total takings by this project would result 

in only small numbers (as the term is 

defined in 50 CFR 216.103) of marine 

mammals being taken. In addition, the 

resultant incidental harassment would 

have no more than a negligible impact 

on the affected marine mammal stocks 

or habitats and would not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on Arctic 

subsistence uses of marine mammals. 

NMFS also finds that the applicant will 

meet the requirements contained in the 

implementing regulations and Letter of 

Authorization (LOA), including 

monitoring and reporting requirements. 

This LOA is being renewed based on a 

review of the activity, completion of 

monitoring requirements and receipt of 

monitoring reports required by the LOA.
