countries. Under 7 CFR part 1493, U.S.
sellers, foreign financial institutions
(FFI), and U.S. financial institutions
(USFI) are required to submit the
following: (1) information about the
seller, FFI, and USFI for program

[email protected], regarding
Pacific regional stock assessments.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 117 of the MMPA (16 U.S.C.
1361 et seq.) requires NMFS and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to
prepare stock assessments for each stock
of marine mammals occurring in waters
under the jurisdiction of the United
States, including the U.S. Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ). These SARs must
contain information regarding the
distribution and abundance of the stock,
population growth rates and trends,
estimates of annual human-caused
mortality and serious injury (M/SI) from
all sources, descriptions of the fisheries
with which the stock interacts, and the
status of the stock. Initial SARs were
completed in 1995.
The MMPA requires NMFS and FWS
to review the SARs at least annually for
strategic stocks and stocks for which
significant new information is available,
and at least once every 3 years for nonstrategic stocks. The term ‘‘strategic
stock’’ means a marine mammal stock:
(A) for which the level of direct humancaused mortality exceeds the potential
biological removal level or potential
biological removal rate PBR (defined by
the MMPA 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
optimum sustainable population); (B)
which, based on the best available
scientific information, is declining and
is likely to be listed as a threatened
species under the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) within the foreseeable future;
or (C) which is listed as a threatened
species or endangered species under the
ESA or is designated as depleted under
the MMPA. NMFS and FWS are
required to revise a SAR if the status of
the stock has changed or can be more
accurately determined.
In order to ensure that marine
mammal SARs constitute the best
scientific information available, the
updated SARs under NMFS’s
jurisdiction are peer-reviewed within
NOAA Fisheries Science Centers and by
members of three regional independent
Scientific Review Groups (SRGs),
established under the MMPA to
independently advise NMFS and FWS.
Because of the time it takes to review,
revise, and assess available data, the
period covered by the 2021 Final SARs
is 2015 through 2019. While this results
in a time lag, the extensive peer review
process ensures the best scientific
information is available in the SARs.
