Abstract: This revised information 

collection combines requirements 

associated with specified marine 

mammal activities in the Beaufort and 

Chukchi Seas. The Office of 

Management and Budget approved the 

information collection requirements 

associated with oil and gas exploration 

activities in the Chukchi Sea and 

assigned OMB Control No. 1018–0139, 

which expires June 30, 2011. If OMB 

approves this combined request, we will 

discontinue OMB Control No. 1018– 

0139. 

The Marine Mammal Protection Act 

(MMPA) of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 

1361 et seq.) imposed, with certain 

exceptions, a moratorium on the taking 

of marine mammals. Section 

101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA directs the 

Secretary of the Interior to allow, upon 

request by citizens of the United States, 

the taking of small numbers of marine 

mammals incidental to specified 

activities (other than commercial 

fishing) if the Secretary makes certain 

findings and prescribes specific 

regulations that, among other things, 

establish permissible methods of taking. 

Applicants seeking to conduct 

activities must request a Letter of 

Authorization (LOA) for the specific 

activity and submit onsite monitoring 

reports and a final report of the activity 

to the Secretary. This is a nonform 

collection. Regulations at 50 CFR 18.27 

outline the procedures and 

requirements for submitting a request. 

Specific regulations governing 

authorized activities in the Beaufort Sea 

are in 50 CFR 18, subpart J. Regulations 

governing authorized activities in the 

Chukchi Sea are in 50 CFR 18, subpart 

I. These regulations provide the 

applicant with a detailed description of 

information that we need to evaluate the 

proposed activity and determine 

whether or not to issue specific 

regulations and, subsequently, LOAs. 

We use the information to verify the 

finding required to issue incidental take 

regulations, to decide if we should issue 

an LOA, and, if issued, what conditions 

should be in the LOA. In addition, we 

will analyze the information to 

determine impacts to the marine 

mammals and the availability of those 

marine mammals for subsistence 

purposes of Alaska Natives. 

Comments: On July 20, 2010, we 

published in the Federal Register (75 

FR 42118) a notice of our intent to 

request that OMB approve this 

information collection. In that notice, 

we solicited comments for 60 days, 

ending on September 20, 2010. We 

received one comment. The commenter 

expressed opposition to authorization of 

activities for the oil and gas industry. 

We note the concerns raised by this 

individual; however, we do not grant 

authorization for industry activities. 

Instead, we are required under Section 

101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA to take 

certain actions with regard to the 

‘‘incidental taking’’ of marine mammals 

that may result from specified activities. 

The regulations at 50 CFR 18.27(c) 

define incidental, but not intentional, 

taking as ‘‘takings which are infrequent, 

unavoidable, or accidental. It does not 

mean that the taking must be 

unexpected.’’ The commenter did not 

address the information collection 

requirements, and we did not make any 

changes to our information collection. 

We again invite comments concerning 

this information collection on: 

• Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary, including 

whether or not the information will 

have practical utility; 

• The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment, including your personal 

identifying information, may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask OMB in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that it will be done.
