Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to the U.S. Air 

Force 86 Fighter Weapons Squadron 

Conducting Long Range Strike 

Weapons System Evaluation Program 

at the Pacific Missile Range Facility at 

Kauai, Hawaii 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: Upon application from the 

U.S. Air Force (USAF) 86 Fighter 

Weapons Squadron (hereinafter referred 

to as 86 FWS), NMFS is issuing 

regulations under the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act (MMPA) for the taking of 

marine mammals incidental to Long 

Range Strike (LRS) Weapons System 

Evaluation Program (WSEP) exercises 

on the Barking Sands Underwater Range 

Expansion (BSURE) of the Pacific 

Missile Range Facility (PMRF) off Kauai, 

Hawaii. These regulations allow NMFS 

to issue a Letter of Authorization (LOA) 

for the incidental take of marine 

mammals during the USAF 86 FWS’s 

specified activities carried out during 

the rule’s period of effectiveness, set 

forth the permissible methods of taking, 

set forth other means of effecting the 

least practicable adverse impact on 

marine mammal species or stocks and 

their habitat, and set forth requirements 

pertaining to the monitoring and 

reporting of the incidental take. The 

specific activities are classified as 

military readiness activities. 

DATES: Effective on August 21, 2017, 

through August 22, 2022.

copy of the USAF 86 FWS’s LOA 

application or other referenced

Background 

Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16 

U.S.C. 1371(a)(5)(A)) directs the 

Secretary of Commerce to allow, upon 

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 for up to five years 

if, after notice and public comment, the 

agency makes certain findings and 

issues regulations that set forth 

permissible methods of taking pursuant 

to that activity, as well as monitoring 

and reporting requirements. Section 

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

implementing regulations at 50 CFR part 

216, subpart I provide the legal basis for 

issuing this rule and any subsequent 

LOA pursuant to those regulations. As 

directed by this legal authority, this 

final rule contains mitigation, 

monitoring, and reporting requirements. 

Authorization for incidental takings 

shall be granted if NMFS finds that the 

taking will have a negligible impact on 

the species or stock(s), will not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of the species or stock(s) for 

subsistence uses (where relevant), and if 

the Secretary sets forth permissible 

methods of taking and other means of 

effecting the least practicable impact on 

the species or stock and its habitat. 

NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ 

in 50 CFR 216.103 as ‘‘an impact 

resulting from the specified activity that 

cannot be reasonably expected to, and is 

not reasonably likely to, adversely affect 

the species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’ 

The National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Section 319, 

Pub. L. 108–136, November 24, 2003) 

(NDAA of 2004) removed the ‘‘small 

numbers’’ and ‘‘specified geographical 

region’’ limitations indicated earlier and 

amended the definition of harassment as 

it applies to a ‘‘military readiness 

activity’’ to read as follows (Section 

3(18)(B) of the MMPA, 16 U.S.C. 

1362(18)(B)): ‘‘(i) Any act that injures or 

has the significant potential to injure a 

marine mammal or marine mammal 

stock in the wild’’ (Level A 

Harassment); ‘‘or (ii) any act that 

disturbs or is likely to disturb a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild by causing disruption of natural 

behavioral patterns, including, but not 

limited to, migration, surfacing, nursing, 

breeding, feeding, or sheltering, to a 

point where such behavioral patterns 

are abandoned or significantly altered’’ 

(Level B Harassment).

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and
