SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
On March 28, 2003, the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Services) announced a final policy on
the criteria the Services will use to
evaluate conservation efforts by states
and other non-Federal entities (68 FR
15100). The Services take these efforts
into account when making decisions on
whether to list a species as threatened
or endangered under the Endangered
Species Act. The efforts usually involve
the development of a conservation plan
or agreement, procedures for monitoring
the effectiveness of the plan or
agreement, and an annual report.
II. Method of Collection
NMFS does not require, but will
accept, plans and reports electronically.
NMFS has not developed a form to be
used for submission of plans or reports.

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 178 / Thursday, September 13, 2018 / Notices

annual reports from states available
through the internet and plans to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary)
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 geographic region if
certain findings are made and either
regulations are issued or, if the taking is
limited to harassment, notice of a
proposed authorization is provided to
the public for review.
An 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 permissible
methods of taking and requirements
pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring
and reporting of such takings are set
forth.
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 MMPA states that the term ‘‘take’’
means to harass, hunt, capture, kill or
attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill
any marine mammal.
Except with respect to certain
activities not pertinent here, the MMPA
defines ‘‘harassment’’ as: Any act of
pursuit, torment, or annoyance which (i)
has the potential to injure a marine
mammal or marine mammal stock in the
wild (Level A harassment); or (ii) has
the potential to disturb a marine
mammal or marine mammal stock in the
wild by causing disruption of behavioral
patterns, including, but not limited to,
