OMB Control Number: 1652–0035.
Forms(s): DCA Access Standard
Security Program (DASSP).
Aircraft Operator Application Form.
Affected Public: GA aircraft operators
and passengers, ASOs, flight
crewmembers, fixed base operators, and
gateway airport operators.
Abstract: TSA is requesting an
extension of this information collection.
In accordance with 49 CFR part 1562,
subpart B, TSA requires GA aircraft
operators who wish to fly into or out of
DCA to designate a security coordinator
and adopt the DASSP. Once aircraft
operators have complied with the
DASSP requirements, they must request
a slot reservation from the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) and
request authorization from TSA for each
flight into and out of DCA. This
information collection is approved
under OMB control number 1652–0033,
TSA Airspace Waiver Applications.
As part of the DASSP requirements,
individuals designated as security
coordinators, ASOs, and flight
crewmembers assigned to duty on a GA
aircraft flying into and out of DCA must
submit fingerprints for a Criminal
History Records Check (CHRC). In
addition, GA aircraft operators must
also maintain CHRC records of all
employees and authorized
representatives for whom a CHRC has
been completed.
Under the Armed Security Officer
Program, DASSP approved entities can
nominate candidates through an online
nomination form. Once approved by
TSA to participate, the candidates are
vetted for suitability for the program by
providing various application materials.
A law enforcement employment
verification check is then completed. In
addition, they are required to submit
their fingerprints so that a CHRC can be
conducted. Upon successful completion
of the application process, a final
determination of eligibility is
adjudicated. All qualified applicants
must then successfully complete a TSAapproved training course.
Number of Respondents: 160.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 174 hours annually.
Dated: April 17, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We
announce the availability of the final
revised stock assessment report (SAR)
for the northern sea otter (Enhydra lutris
kenyoni) stock in the State of
Washington.
ADDRESSES:

Background
Under the Marine Mammal Protection
Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16
U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and its
implementing regulations in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
part 18, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) regulates the taking;
import; and, under certain conditions,
possession; transportation; purchasing;
selling; and offering for sale, purchase,
or export, of marine mammals. One of
the goals of the MMPA is to ensure that
stocks of marine mammals occurring in
waters under U.S. jurisdiction do not
experience a level of human-caused
mortality and serious injury that is
likely to cause the stock to be reduced
below its optimum sustainable
population (OSP) level. OSP is defined
under the MMPA as ‘‘the number of
animals which will result in the

PO 00000

Frm 00052

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

maximum productivity of the
population or the species, keeping in
mind the carrying capacity of the habitat
and the health of the ecosystem of
which they form a constituent element’’
(16 U.S.C. 1362(9)).
To help accomplish the goal of
maintaining marine mammal stocks at
their OSPs, section 117 of the MMPA
requires the Service and the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to
prepare a SAR for each marine mammal
stock that occurs in waters under U.S.
jurisdiction. A SAR must be based on
the best scientific information available;
therefore, we prepare it in consultation
with established regional scientific
review groups established under 117(d)
of the MMPA. Each SAR must include:
1. A description of the stock and its
geographic range;
2. A minimum population estimate,
current and maximum net productivity
rate, and current population trend;
3. An estimate of the annual humancaused mortality and serious injury by
source and, for a strategic stock, other
factors that may be causing a decline or
impeding recovery of the stock;
4. A description of commercial fishery
interactions;
5. A categorization of the status of the
stock; and
6. An estimate of the potential
biological removal (PBR) level.
The MMPA defines the PBR as ‘‘the
maximum number of animals, not
including natural mortalities, that may
be removed from a marine mammal
stock while allowing that stock to reach
or maintain its [OSP]’’ (16 U.S.C.
1362(20)). The PBR is the product of the
minimum population estimate of the
stock (Nmin); one-half the maximum
theoretical or estimated net productivity
rate of the stock at a small population
size (Rmax); and a recovery factor (Fr) of
between 0.1 and 1.0, which is intended
to compensate for uncertainty and
unknown estimation errors. This can be
written as:
PBR = (Nmin)(1⁄2 of the Rmax)(Fr)
Section 117 of the MMPA also
requires the Service and NMFS to
review the SARs (a) at least annually for
stocks that are specified as strategic
stocks, (b) at least annually for stocks for
which significant new information is
available, and (c) at least once every 3
years for all other stocks. If our review
of the status of a stock indicates that it
has changed or may be more accurately
determined, then the SAR must be
revised accordingly.
A strategic stock is defined in the
MMPA as a marine mammal stock ‘‘(A)
for which the level of direct humancaused mortality exceeds the [PBR]
