SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau is the preeminent 

collector of timely, relevant and quality 

data about the people and economy of 

the United States. Economic data are the 

Census Bureau’s primary program 

commitment during non-decennial 

census years. The economic census, 

conducted under authority of Title 13 

U.S.C., is the primary source of facts 

about the structure and functioning of 

the Nation’s economy and features 

unique industry and geographic detail. 

Economic census statistics serve as part 

of the framework for the national 

accounts and provide essential 

information for government, business 

and the general public. 

This data collection, Form NC–99023, 

is designed to obtain detailed 

classification information in order to 

assign a North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) code for 

establishments that are unclassified and 

that are partially classified. The NC–

99023 will be used to assign a detailed 

NAICS code to these establishments. 

Accurate and reliable industry and 

geographic codes are critical to the 

Census Bureau statistical programs. 

New businesses are assigned industry 

classification by the Social Security 

Administration (SSA). However, many 

of these businesses cannot be assigned 

detailed industry codes because 

insufficient information is provided by 

respondents on Internal Revenue 

Service (IRS) Form SS–4 and are 

therefore unclassified. 

Establishments that are currently 

partially classified could be 

misclassified in the Economic Census 

without a complete NAICS code. This 

refile operation will determine a 

complete and reliable classification in 

order to ensure the establishment is 

tabulated in the correct detailed 

industry for the 2007 Economic Census. 

For many of these establishments, this 

is the only chance to obtain this detailed 

industry classification. If these 

establishments are not mailed as part of 

the Economic Census economic data for 

these cases could be lost. 

The failure to collect this 

classification information will have an 

adverse effect on the quality and 

usefulness of economic statistics and 

severely hamper the Census Bureau’s 

ability to effectively classify 

establishments under NAICS in the 

Economic Census and other survey 

programs. 

The Census Bureau is not requesting 

any economic data in this collection. 

The collection of this NAICS 

information will greatly reduce 

processing costs and ease reporting 

burden for the 2007 Economic Census 

data collection. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Census Bureau will select 

establishments to receive this survey 

from the Census Bureau’s Business 

Register. The Census Bureau will mail 

the NC–99023 to those establishments 

selected from the mailing list. The NC–

99023 will be used to assign a valid 

NAICS code. The NC–99023 will 

contain a list of codes and descriptions. 

Respondents are to select the activity 

which best describes their business by 

checking the box next to the activity 

listed or to describe their principal 

business activity if no box can be 

checked.

Incidental Take of Marine Mammals; 

Taking of Marine Mammals Incidental 

to Operation of a Low Frequency 

Sound Source by the North Pacific 

Acoustic Laboratory 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of issuance of a letter of 

authorization. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Marine Mammal Protection Act 

(MMPA), as amended, notification is 

hereby given that a letter of 

authorization to take several species of 

marine mammals incidental to 

operation of a low frequency sound 

source by the North Pacific Acoustic 

Laboratory (NPAL) has been issued to 

the University of California San Diego, 

Scripps Institution of Oceanography 

(Scripps). 

DATES: This letter of authorization is 

effective from October 15, 2005, through 

September 17, 2006. 

ADDRESSES: The application and letter is 

available for review in the Office of 

Protected Resources, NMFS, 1315 EastWest Highway, Silver Spring, MD 

20910. 

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.
