launching of up to 40 missiles at SNI 

per year. Up to 10 launches per year 

may occur at night. Nighttime launches 

will only occur when required by the 

test objectives, e.g., when testing the 

Airborne Laser system (ABL). Harbor 

seals, California sea lions, and elephant 

seals are found on various haul-out sites 

and rookeries on SNI. 

Potential impacts of the planned 

missile launch operations at SNI on 

marine mammals involve both acoustic 

and non-acoustic effects. Acoustic 

effects relate to sound produced by the 

engines of all launch vehicles, and, in 

some cases, their booster rockets. 

Potential non-acoustic effects could 

result from the physical presence of 

personnel during placement of video 

and acoustical monitoring equipment. 

However, careful deployment of 

monitoring equipment is not expected 

to result in any disturbance to 

pinnipeds hauled out nearby. Any 

visual disturbance caused by passage of 

a vehicle overhead is likely to be minor 

and brief as the launch vehicles are 

relatively small and move at great 

speed. The noise generated by Navy 

activities may result in the incidental 

harassment of pinnipeds, both 

behaviorally and in terms of 

physiological (auditory) impacts. The 

noise and visual disturbances from 

missile launches may cause the animals 

to move towards or enter the water. 

Take of pinnipeds will be minimized 

through implementation of the 

following mitigation measures: (1) The 

Navy must avoid launch activities 

during harbor seal pupping season 

(February through April), unless 

constrained by factors including, but not 

limited to, human safety, national 

security, or for launch trajectory 

necessary to meet mission objectives; (2) 

the Navy must limit launch activities 

during other pinniped pupping seasons, 

unless constrained by factors including, 

but not limited to, human safety, 

national security, or for launch 

trajectory necessary to meet mission 

objectives; (3) the Navy must not launch 

missiles from the Alpha Complex at low 

elevation (less than 305 m [1,000 ft]) on 

launch azimuths that pass close to 

pinniped haul-out site(s) when 

occupied; (4) the Navy must avoid 

multiple vehicle launches in quick 

succession over haul-out sites when 

occupied, especially when young pups 

are present, except when required by 

mission objectives; and (5) the Navy 

must limit launch activities during 

nighttime hours, except when required 

by mission objectives (e.g., up to 10 

nighttime launches for ABL testing per 

year). Additionally, for 2 hr prior to, 

during, and approximately 30 mins 

following each launch, personnel are 

not allowed near any of the pinniped 

haul-out beaches that are close to the 

flight track on the western end of SNI. 

Associated fixed-wing and rotary 

aircraft will maintain an altitude of at 

least 305 m (1,000 ft) when traveling 

near beaches on which pinnipeds are 

hauled out, except in emergencies or for 

real-time security incidents (e.g., searchand-rescue, fire-fighting, adverse 

weather conditions), which may require 

approaching pinniped haul-outs and 

rookeries closer than 305 m (1,000 ft). 

Additionally, monitoring methods will 

be reviewed by NMFS if post-launch 

surveys determine that an injurious or 

lethal take of a marine mammal 

occurred. The Navy will also use 

monitoring surveys and time-lapse 

video to monitor the animals before, 

during, and after missile launches. 

Reports will be submitted to NMFS after 

each LOA expires, and a final 

comprehensive report, which will 

summarize all previous reports and 

assess cumulative impacts, will be 

submitted before the rule expires. This 

LOA will be renewed annually based on 

review of the annual monitoring report.

The revised plan will provide an overall 

guide to the formulation of future 

agency actions and budget requests. The 

Office of Management and Budget 

requires all Federal agencies to submit 

their budget requests 13 months before 

the beginning of each fiscal year. The 

draft CPSC budget request for fiscal year

final budget request must reflect the 

contents of the agency’s strategic plan 

developed under GPRA. 

Section 4(j) of the Consumer Product 

Safety Act (CPSA) (15 U.S.C. 2053(j)) 

requires the Commission to establish an 

agenda for action under the laws it 

administers, and, to the extent feasible, 

to select priorities for action at least 30 

days before the beginning of each fiscal 

year. Section 4(j) of the CPSA provides 

further that, before establishing its 

agenda and priorities, the Commission 

conduct a public hearing and provide an 

opportunity for the submission of 

comments.
