SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On June 26, 2000, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published, in the **Federal Register** , the antidumping duty order on certain large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe (seamless pipe) from Japan. *See Notice of Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain Large Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe from Japan; and Certain Small Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe From Japan and the Republic of South Africa* , 65 FR 39360 (June 26, 2000). On June 2, 2006, the Department published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order of seamless pipe for the period of review covering June 1, 2005, through May 31, 2006 (the period of review). *See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review* , 71 FR 32032 (June 2, 2006). In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), on June 30, 2006, United States Steel Corporation (the petitioner) requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on seamless pipe from Japan, for JFE Steel Corporation, Nippon Steel Corporation, NKK Tubes, and Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. (collectively, the respondents). None of the respondents requested a review. On July 27, 2006, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department published in the **Federal Register** the initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping order on seamless pipe from Japan. *See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part* , 71 FR 42626 (July 27, 2006). On August 1, 2006, the Department issued its antidumping questionnaire. In August 2006, respondents submitted letters claiming that they did not have sales of subject merchandise during the period of review. On November 28, 2006, the petitioner withdrew its request for an administrative review of seamless pipe from Japan. Rescission of Review The Department's regulations at 351.213(d)(1) provide that the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that requested the review withdraws its request for a review within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The regulations further provide that the Secretary “may extend this time limit if the Secretary decides that it is reasonable to do so.” Although the petitioner's November 28, 2006, withdrawal request for this review was not within the 90-day time limit as prescribed in 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we find that, under the circumstances of this review, it is appropriate to accept the withdrawal request and rescind the review. In response to the Department's August 1, 2006, antidumping questionnaire, the respondents have claimed no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the period of review, and, therefore, the Department has neither issued supplemental questionnaires nor conducted verification at this point in the proceeding. Continuing the review would only require the petitioner, respondents, and the Department to expend time and resources on a review in which the only party that requested the review is no longer interested. Accordingly, the Department does not believe the administrative review has proceeded to a point at which it would be “unreasonable” to rescind the review. The Department, therefore, finds that it is reasonable to extend the 90-day time limit and to rescind the administrative review. The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection after 15 days of publication of this notice. This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order

(APO)of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). Dated: December 18, 2006. Stephen J.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On September 28, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published a notice of initiation for this antidumping duty administrative review. *See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part* , 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 2005). On August 31, 2006, the Department published the preliminary results of this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods (OCTG), other than drill pipe, from Korea. *See Oil Country Tubular Goods, Other Than Drill Pipe, from Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review* , 71 FR 51797 (August 31, 2006) ( *Preliminary Results* ). We received case briefs on October 2, 2006 and rebuttal briefs on October 10, 2006. On October 24, 2006, the Department decided to permit an additional rebuttal from each petitioner with respect to one issue. The Department received these rebuttal briefs from counsel representing IPSCO Tubulars, Inc., Lone Star Steel Company, and Maverick Tube Corporations on October 30, 2006, as well as from U.S. Steel Corporation on November 1, 2006. Extension of Time Limits for Final Results Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an antidumping duty order for which a review is requested, and issue the final results within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, if the Department finds it is not practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively. We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final results of this review within current statutory limits. Due to the complexity of issues raised in the interested parties' case briefs, specifically regarding the treatment of inventory carrying costs and CEP profit, the Department requires additional time to evaluate these issues properly. Therefore, we are extending the deadline for the final results of this review by 60 days, from December 29, 2006 until no later than February 27, 2006, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(3)(A), and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: December 18, 2006. Stephen J.

Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to this administrative review are addressed in the “Issues and Decision Memorandum” (Decision Memorandum) from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated December 18, 2006, which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues which parties have raised and to which we have responded, all of which are in the Decision Memorandum, is attached to this notice as an appendix. Parties can find a complete discussion of all issues raised in this review and the corresponding recommendations in this public memorandum, which is on file in the Central Records Unit, room B-099, of the main Department building. In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly via the Internet at *www.ia.ita.doc.gov/fm/index.html* . The paper copy and electronic version of the Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made the following changes to the margin calculation: • We have revised the U.S. indirect selling expense (INDIRSU) ratio to include selling expenses and revenues received in the United States relating to Mexinox's affiliates ThyssenKrupp Nirosta North America (TKNNA) and ThyssenKrupp Acciai Speciali Terni USA, Inc. (TKAST USA). • We have corrected ministerial errors identified by parties in the *Preliminary Results* :

(1)we adjusted U.S. gross unit price to include an alloy surcharge (KASURCHU) attributed to Mexinox's U.S. affiliated reseller, Ken-Mac;

(2)we adjusted U.S. gross unit price by converting Ken-Mac rebates (KREBATEU) from a per-pound basis to a per-hundredweight

(CWT)basis;

(3)we amended SAS language in the All-Macros Program to merge product-specific cost test results with home-market transactional sales data without overwriting certain transaction-specific data;

(4)we modified SAS language in the All-Macros Program to appropriately limit the combined commission and CEP offset by the total reported home-market indirect selling expenses. These changes are discussed in the relevant sections of the Decision Memorandum and the December 18, 2006, “Analysis of Data Submitted by ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. de C.V (Mexinox) for the Final Results of Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Mexico (A-201-822)” (Final Analysis Memorandum) from Maryanne Burke to the File. *See also* “Cost of Production and Constructed Value Calculation Adjustments for the Final Results” (Cost Calculation Memorandum) from Margaret Pusey to Neal M. Halper, dated December 18, 2006. Final Results of Review We determine the following weighted-average percentage margin exists for the period July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005: Manufacturer / Exporter Weighted Average Margin (percentage) ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. de C.V. 1.16 percent Assessment Pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act) and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department calculates an assessment rate for each importer of the subject merchandise covered by the review. Upon issuance of the final results of this review, if any importer-specific assessment rates calculated in the final results are above *de minimis* ( *i.e.* , at or above 0.50 percent), we will issue appraisement instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

(CBP)to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries by applying the assessment rate to the entered value of the merchandise. To determine whether the duty-assessment rate covering the period is *de minimis* , in accordance with the requirement set forth in sections 733(b)(3) and 735 of the Tariff Act, and 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we have calculated an importer-specific assessment *ad valorem* rate by aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to the sole importer of ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. de C.V.'s subject merchandise and dividing this amount by the total entered value of the sales to that importer. Where the importer-specific ad valorem rate is greater than *de minimis* and because the respondent has reported reliable entered values, we will instruct CBP to apply the assessment rate to the entered value of the importer's entries during the period of review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 356.8(a), the Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 41 days after the date of publication of these final results of review. The Department clarified its “automatic assessment” regulation on May 6, 2003. *See Notice of Policy Concerning Assessment of Antidumping Duties* , 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment-Policy Notice). This clarification will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Mexinox, for which Mexinox did not know that the merchandise it sold to an intermediary ( *e.g.* , a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 30.85 percent all-others rate if there is no company-specific rate for an intermediary involved in the transaction. *See* the Assessment Policy Notice for a full discussion of this clarification. Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of these final results for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these final results of administrative review, consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act:

(1)the cash deposit rate for the reviewed company will be the rate listed above;

(2)if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, but was covered in a previous review or the original less than fair value

(LTFV)investigation, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period;

(3)if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and

(4)the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 30.85 percent, which is the “All Others” rate established in the LTFV investigation. *See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Mexico* , 64 FR 40560 (July 27, 1999). These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative review. Notification to Interested Parties This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR section 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders

(APOs)of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR section 351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Minority Business Development Agency

(MBDA)is publishing this notice to allow for up to a 120-day funded extension, on a non-competitive basis, of the current award for the Queens Minority Business Enterprise Center (Queens MBEC) (formerly the Queens Business Development Center). The Queens MBEC was originally funded for a three-year award period commencing on January 1, 2004 and closing on December 31, 2006, pursuant to a **Federal Register** notice published on August 29, 2003. MBDA published a **Federal Register** notice on July 26, 2006 soliciting competitive applications for an operator of the Queens MBEC for the next three-year award period commencing January 1, 2007. However, the solicitation resulted in an unsuccessful competition, and MBDA intends to re-open the solicitation period to allow the public additional time to submit responsive applications to operate the Queens MBEC during the next funding cycle. MBDA is taking the actions set forth in this notice to allow for continued program delivery by the incumbent operator of the Queens MBEC while MBDA completes the solicitation process. DATES: The additional award period and related funding, if approved by the Department of Commerce Grants Officer, will commence January 1, 2007 and will continue for a period not to exceed 120 days. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Efrain Gonzalez, Program Manager, Minority Business Development Agency, Office of Business Development, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room 5075, Washington, DC 20230. Mr. Gonzalez may be reached by telephone at

(202)482-1940 and by e-mail at *egonzalez@mbda.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Queens MBEC (which covers the New York counties of Queens, Nassau and Suffolk) was originally funded for a three-year award period commencing on January 1, 2004 and closing on December 31, 2006, pursuant to a **Federal Register** notice published on August 29, 2003 (68 FR 51965), as amended on September 30, 2003 (68 FR 56265). On July 26, 2006, MBDA published a notice in the **Federal Register** (71 FR 42351) announcing the solicitation of competitive applications for an operator of the Queens MBEC for the next three-year funding cycle commencing January 1, 2007. The applications received by MBDA in response to the solicitation for the Queens MBEC did not satisfy the minimum evaluation criterion scoring requirements set forth in the notice, resulting in an unsuccessful competition. Accordingly, MBDA intends to publish a **Federal Register** notice re-opening the solicitation period for the Queens MBEC in order to allow MBDA to conduct additional outreach activities and to provide the public with additional time to submit responsive applications. This notice amends the August 29, 2003 notice to allow for an up to 120-day funded extension, on a non-competitive basis, to the current award period of the Queens MBEC. MBDA is making this amendment to allow for continued program delivery by Jamaica Business Resource Center, the incumbent operator of the Queens MBEC, while the Agency conducts outreach activities and completes the solicitation process for an operator of the Queens MBEC for the next award cycle. The length of any extension (not to exceed 120 days) and the amount of funding necessary to carry out the extension are at the sole discretion of the Grants Officer, based on such factors as the Queens MBEC's performance, the availability of funds, and agency priorities. Limitation of Liability Funding for the potential award extension listed in this notice is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2007 appropriations, which have not yet been appropriated for the MBEC program. MBDA issues this notice subject to the appropriations made available under the current continuing resolution, H.R. 5631, “Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007,” Public Law 109-289, as amended by H.J. Res. 100, Public Law 109-369 and H.J. Res. 102, Public Law 109-383. In no event will MBDA or the Department of Commerce (Department) be responsible to cover any costs incurred outside of the current award period by the incumbent operator of the Queens MBEC if the MBEC program fails to receive funding or is cancelled because of other MBDA or Department priorities. Publication of this announcement does not oblige MBDA or the Department to award an extension to the current operator of the Queens MBEC or to obligate any available funds for such purpose. Department of Commerce Pre-Award Notification Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements The Department of Commerce Pre-Award Notification Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements contained in the December 30, 2004 **Federal Register** notice (69 FR 78389) are applicable to this notice. Executive Order 12866 This notice has been determined to be not significant for purposes of E.O. 12866. Executive Order 13132 (Federalism) It has been determined that this notice does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132. Administrative Procedure Act/Regulatory Flexibility Act Prior notice and an opportunity for public comment are not required by the Administrative Procedure Act for rules concerning public property, loans, grants, benefits, and contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)). Because notice and opportunity for comment are not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.* ) are inapplicable.

Abstract This project will determine the whole-body detector response of the Radioactivity Group's Virtual Gamma-ray Range system to provide support in the event of an emergency radiological incident. The project will evaluate the system's response to a variety of body geometries, and relate the system's response to handheld in vivo gamma-ray detectors readings that would be used during radiological emergency response. Because there are inadequate numbers of phantom types to approximate all body shapes and sizes, we plan to use NIST employees (participants) already subjected to nuclear medicine procedures as radioactive “sources” to determine the response of our High Purity Germanium

(HPGe)measurements system. Physical parameters of the participants such as height, weight will be needed to assess the correlation with counting response that is expected to have uncertainties as large as 50%. The physician or technician who administers the injection of nuclear radiation will be requested to provide written documentation containing the identity and time of the injected radionuclide given to the participants, its radioactivity content, and the calibration date and time of the radionuclide received. All information will be carefully safeguarded. II. Method of Collection A paper form will be distributed to the physicians by the participant. Once completed by the physician/technician, the paper form will be returned, by the participant, to the investigator. III. Data *OMB Number:* None. *Form Number:* None. *Type of Review:* Regular. *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profit organizations; Federal Government; and Individuals or households. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 250. *Estimated Time Per Response:* 6 minutes. *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:* 5. *Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public:* $0. IV. Request for Comments Comments are invited on:

(a)Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility;

(b)the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden (including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information;

(c)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

The student/institution packets will be directed to the SURF Gaithersburg Program designated by the student as his/her first choice. Each SURF Gaithersburg Program will have three independent, objective NIST employees, who are knowledgeable in the scientific areas of the program, conduct a technical review of each student/institution packet based on the Evaluation Criteria for the SURF Gaithersburg Programs described in this notice. Each technical reviewer will recommend that each student/institution packet be placed into one of three categories: Priority Funding; Fund if Possible; and Do Not Fund. Each student/institution packet will then be placed into one of the three categories by the Program's Director, who will take into consideration the reviewers' recommendations, the relevance of the student's course of study to the program objectives of the NIST laboratory in which that SURF Gaithersburg Program resides as described in the Program Description section of the FFO, the relevance of the student's statement of commitment to the goals of the SURF Gaithersburg Program, and the availability of funding. Student/institution packets placed in the Priority Funding category will be selected for funding in that SURF Gaithersburg Program. Student/institution packets placed in the Do Not Fund category will not be considered for funding. Student/institution packets placed in the Fund if Possible Category will be considered for funding by the SURF Gaithersburg Program designated by the student as his/her second choice. In making selections for funding, the Director of the student's second choice SURF Gaithersburg Program will take into consideration the recommendations of the reviewers who conducted the technical reviews for the student's first choice SURF Gaithersburg Program, the program objectives of the NIST laboratory in which the student's second choice SURF Gaithersburg Program resides as described in the Program Description section of the FFO, the relevance of the student's statement of commitment to the goals of the SURF Gaithersburg Program, and the availability of funding. Students not selected for funding by their first or second choice SURF Gaithersburg Program, and students who did not designate a second choice, will then be considered for funding from all SURF Gaithersburg Programs that still have slots available. In making selections for funding, the SURF Gaithersburg Program Directors will take into consideration the recommendations of the reviewers who conducted the technical reviews for the student's first choice SURF Gaithersburg Program, the program objectives of the NIST laboratory in which their SURF Gaithersburg Program resides as described in the Program Description section of the FFO, the relevance to the goals of the SURF Gaithersburg Program, and the availability of funding.

Funding for student housing will be included in cooperative agreements awarded as a result of this notice. The SURF NIST Boulder Program is anticipated to run from May 21, 2007 through August 10, 2007; adjustments may be made to accommodate specific academic schedules ( *e.g.* , a limited number of 12 week cooperative agreements shifted to begin 3 weeks after the regular start in order to accommodate institutions operating on quarter systems). Funding for the programs listed in this notice is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2007 appropriations. NIST issues this notice subject to the appropriations made available under the current continuing resolution, H.R. 5631, “Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007,” Public Law 109-289, as amended by H.J. Res. 100, Public Law 109-369. NIST anticipates making awards for the programs listed in this notice provided that funding for the programs is continued beyond December 8, 2006, the expiration of the current continuing resolution. *Statutory Authority:* 15 U.S.C. 278g-1. *Eligibility:* The SURF NIST Boulder Program is open to colleges and universities in the United States and its territories with degree granting programs in materials science, chemistry, engineering, computer science, mathematics, or physics. Participating students must be U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents. The SURF NIST Boulder Programs do not require any matching funds. *Review and Selection Process:* All SURF NIST Boulder Program proposals are submitted to the Administrative Coordinator. Each proposal is examined for completeness and responsiveness. Incomplete or non-responsive proposals will not be considered for funding, and the applicant will be so notified. The Program will retain one copy of each non-responsive application for three years for record keeping purposes. The remaining copies will be destroyed. Proposals should include the following:

(A)Student Information:

(1)Student application information cover sheet;

(2)Academic transcript for each student nominated for participation (it is recommended that students have a G.P.A. of 3.0 or better, out of a possible 4.0);

(3)A statement of motivation and commitment from each student to participate in the SURF NIST Boulder program, including a description of the student's prioritized research interests;

(4)A resume for each student;

(5)Two letters of recommendation for each student; and

(6)Confirmation of U.S. citizenship or permanent legal resident status for each student.

(B)Information About the Applicant Institution:

(1)Description of the institution's education and research programs; and

(2)A summary list of the student(s) being nominated. Institution proposals will be separated into student/institution packets. Each student/institution packet will be comprised of the required application forms, including a complete copy of the student information and a complete copy of the institution information. The student/institution packets will be directed to a review committee of NIST staff appointed by the SURF NIST Boulder Program Directors. Each SURF Program packet will be reviewed by three independent, objective NIST employees, who are knowledgeable in the scientific areas of the program and are able to conduct a technical review of each student/institution packet based on the Evaluation Criteria for the SURF NIST Boulder Program described in this notice. Each technical reviewer will recommend that each student/institution packet be placed into one of three categories: Priority Funding; Fund if Possible; and Do Not Fund. Each student/institution packet will then be placed into one of the three categories by the SURF NIST Boulder Program Directors, who will take into consideration the reviewers' recommendations, the relevance of the student's course of study to the program objectives of the NIST Boulder Laboratories as described in the Program Description section of the FFO, the relevance of the student's statement of commitment to the goals of the SURF NIST Boulder Program, and the availability of funding. Student/institution packets placed in the Priority Funding category will be selected for funding in the SURF NIST Boulder Program. Student/institution packets placed in the Do Not Fund category will not be considered for funding. Student/institution packets placed in the Fund if Possible category will be considered for funding by the SURF NIST Boulder Program when possible. For example, when an award has been declined by another applicant, a back-up will be selected from student/institution packets in this category. In this case, it is likely that either the student's second or third choice of research opportunity would be assigned. In making selections for funding, the SURF NIST Boulder Program Directors will take into consideration the recommendations of the reviewers who conducted the technical reviews, the program objectives of the NIST Boulder laboratory in which the student's requested research opportunity resides as described in the Program Description and Objectives section of the FFO, the relevance of the student's statement of commitment to the goals of the SURF NIST Boulder Program, and the availability of funding. Students not selected for funding for either their first, second or third choice of research opportunities, and students who did not designate a second or third choice, will then be considered for funding from all Boulder Laboratories that still have slots available. In making selections for funding, the SURF NIST Boulder Program Directors will take into consideration the recommendations of the reviewers who conducted the technical reviews, the program objectives of the NIST Laboratory in which their SURF NIST Boulder SURF Program research opportunity resides as described in the Program Description section of the FFO, the relevance to the goals of the SURF NIST Boulder Program, and the availability of funding. Student/institution packets placed in the Fund if Possible category but not selected through the process described above, will not be funded. The final approval of selected applications and award of cooperative agreements will be made by the NIST Grants Officer based on compliance with application requirements as published in this notice, compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and compliance with Federal policies that best further the objectives of the Department of Commerce. Applicants may be asked to modify objectives, work plans, or budgets and provide supplemental information required by the agency prior to award. The decision of the Grants Officer is final. The SURF NIST Boulder Program will retain one copy of each unsuccessful application for three years for record keeping purposes, and unsuccessful applicants will be notified in writing. The remaining copies will be destroyed. *Evaluation Criteria:* For the SURF NIST Boulder Program, the evaluation criteria are:

ACTION: Notice of issuance of an incidental harassment authorization. SUMMARY: In accordance with provisions of the Marine Mammal Protection Act

(MMPA)as amended, notification is hereby given that an Incidental Harassment Authorization

(IHA)to take marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to conducting surf zone testing/training and amphibious vehicle training and weapons testing off the coast of Santa Rosa Island

(SRI)has been issued to the U.S. Air Force Eglin Air Force Base (Eglin AFB) for a period of 1 year. NMFS may propose regulations at a later date that would govern these incidental takes under a Letter of Authorization

(LOA)issued to Eglin for a period of up to 5 years after the 1-year IHA expires. DATES: This authorization is effective from December 11, 2006 until December 10, 2007. ADDRESSES: A copy of the application, IHA, *the Santa Rosa Island Mission Utilization Plan Programmatic Environmental Assessment* (SRI Mission PEA), and/or a list of references used in this document may be obtained by writing to P. Michael Payne, Chief, Permits, Conservation and Education Division, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910-3225, or by telephoning one of the contacts listed here (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT ). The application and the SRI Mission PEA is also available at: *http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/incidental.htm* . FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shane Guan, NMFS,

(301)713-2289, ext 137. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and 101(a)(5)(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 marine mammals by U.S. citizens who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing) within a specified geographical region if certain findings are made and regulations are issued or, if the taking is limited to harassment, a notice of a proposed authorization is provided to the public for review. An authorization shall be granted if NMFS finds that the taking will have a negligible impact on the species or stock(s) and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of the species or stock(s) for subsistence uses, 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.” Subsection 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA established an expedited process by which citizens of the United States can apply for an authorization to incidentally take marine mammals by harassment. With respect to “military readiness activities,” the MMPA defines “harassment” as follows:

(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]. Summary of Request On November 21, 2005, Eglin AFB petitioned NMFS for an authorization under section 101(a)(5) of the MMPA for the taking, by harassment, of marine mammals incidental to programmatic mission activities on Eglin's SRI property, including the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf or GOM) to a depth of 30 feet (9.1 meters). The distance from the island shoreline that corresponds to this depth varies from approximately 0.5 mile (0.8 km) at the western side of the Air Force property to 1.5 miles (2.4 km) at the eastern side, extending out into the inner continental shelf. Activities conducted within the action area are addressed in the *Estuarine and Riverine Areas Programmatic Environmental Assessment* (U.S. Air Force, 2003a). The proposed action is for the 46th Test Wing Commander to establish a mission utilization plan for SRI based on historical and anticipated future use. Current and future operations are categorized as either testing or training and include: 1) Surf Zone Testing/Training; 2) Landing Craft Air Cushion

(LCAC)Training and Weapons Testing; 3) Amphibious Assaults; and 4) Special Operations Training. Description of Activities The activities proposed by Eglin AFB include surf zone testing/training and amphibious vehicle training and weapon testing. A detailed description of these activities was published in the **Federal Register** on June 22, 2006 (71 FR 35870). No change was made to these proposed activities. Surf zone testing/training activities and amphibious vehicle testing/training activities would be intermittent yet ongoing, and therefore Eglin AFB has also made a request for a take authorization under section 10(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA for a time period of five years. These activities would occur within the proposed action area, which includes the Gulf-side shoreline of SRI seaward to a depth of 30 feet (91 m). The distance from the shoreline that corresponds to this depth varies from approximately 0.5 mile (0.8 km) at the western side of the Air Force property to 1.5 miles (2.4 km) at the eastern side, extending into the inner continental shelf. Training involving live fire exercises would be carried out a maximum twice per year (one during daytime and/or one at night). These missions would involve special operations personnel, an LCAC, or an AAV on the north shore of the island or in Santa Rosa Sound firing at a target located on SRI. The target would be a hardended structure of steel or wood. The angle of firing would be toward the ground and ricocheting would be minimal due to the sandy substrate. The NSWCPC would use low-range, high-fragmentation munitions at the maneuver areas to allow for more realistic training scenarios. The NSWCPC would direct live fire toward the Gulf. Comments and Responses A notice of receipt and request for 30-day public comment on the application and proposed authorization was published on June 22, 2006 (71 FR 35870). During the 30-day public comment period, NMFS received the following comments from the Humane Society of the United States

(HSUS)and the Marine Mammal Commission (Commission). *Comment 1:* The HSUS stated that the bottlenose dolphin stocks in the area are likely declining as a result of recent die-offs and can ill afford additional impacts. The HSUS argues that the population estimates were outdated and the relatively high number of bottlenose dolphin deaths that have occurred since 1990 raises the concern that not only are some of the stocks “stressed,” but they may even be in decline. HSUS further suggested that dolphins near Santa Rosa were also affected in the 1999 mass stranding event near St. Joseph Bay. Therefore, HSUS argues that the estimated impacts of bottlenose dolphins cannot be assumed to apply merely to those animals sighted in the Santa Rosa area. *Response:* In NMFS' 2006 stock assessment report, NMFS stated that there is not sufficient data to determine population trends for all the Gulf of Mexico bay, sound and estuary bottlenose dolphin communities (Waring *et al.* , 2006). NMFS acknowledges that the relatively high number of bottlenose dolphin deaths which occurred during the mortality events since 1990 and agrees that some of these stocks may be stressed. However, this is not relevant to the issuance of the IHA, since Eglin AFB's surf zone activities will take place a maximum of only once a year for surf zone testing/training mission and a maximum of a couple of times per year for live fire operations, with no serious injury or mortality expected. NMFS believes that Eglin's activities are unlikely to add to existing mortality levels. As a result, NMFS does not believe that authorizing the taking of bottlenose dolphins by Level B harassment will have more than a negligible impact on the affected dolphin stocks. Additionally, NMFS will require mitigation and monitoring measures to further reduce potential impacts to these marine mammal species and stocks. Although it is difficult to interpret these mass stranding events, bottlenose dolphins are known to become entangled in recreational and commercial fishing gear (Wells and Scott, 1994; Wells *et al.* , 1998; Gorzelany, 1998) and some are struck by recreational and commercial vessels (Wells and Scott, 1997). Waring *et al.*

(2006)estimated that as many as 172 bottlenose dolphins could have been taken in the GOM menhaden fishery alone between 1992 and 1995. *Comment 2:* The HSUS is concerned that the density for bottlenose dolphins and spotted dolphins are based on outdated data. The HSUS believes that the population estimates for the various stocks of these species are substantially lower and the stocks thus more vulnerable to adverse impacts. The HSUS stated that it is reasonable to presume that there has been some redistribution of animals, which further complicates understanding of distribution and density and calls into question the density estimates used in this application to calculate risk. *Response:* The combined estimated abundance for the Atlantic spotted dolphin in the northern GOM, pooled from 1998 through 2001, for the outer continental shelf shipboard surveys was 30,772 (Fulling *et al.* , 2003). NMFS has relied upon the best scientific information available and does not believe these five-year old data are outdated. The population survey of the three GOM bay, sound, and estuarine bottlenose dolphin stocks were last conducted more than 8 years ago. While the data relied upon were developed in 1998, NMFS continuous to believe that these data sets comprise the best available information. The abundance for the northern coastal, the Pensacola Bay/East Bay, and the Choctawhatchee Bay bottlenose dolphins stocks were estimated at 9,912, 33, and 242 animals, respectively (Waring *et al.* , 2006). NMFS scientists in the Southeast Region have confirmed that this is the best available information to date. *Comment 3:* The HSUS questions the methodology that used 30 percent of the time dolphin spent at the surface to calculate the density estimate. The HSUS stated that according to Dr. Randall Wells, a more appropriate estimate would be 5 percent of the time being spent at the surface. The HSUS also is concerned that since bottlenose dolphins rarely travel as singles, the impacts will likely be on groups of animals rather than on individuals. *Response:* NMFS agrees with HSUS' assessment that bottlenose dolphins may spend up to 95 percent of their time under the sea surface, though one study conducted on a single adult female bottlenose dolphin showed that this individual spent approximately 87.1 ± 0.6 percent of its time submerged (Mate *et al.* , 1995). However, the 30 percent dive profile used by Eglin AFB to calculate bottlenose dolphin density is to compensate for the presence of submerged and uncounted animals. As mentioned in the **Federal Register** notice (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006), the water clarity in the northeastern GOM is typically very high, and it is often possible to view the entire water column in the water depth that defines the action area (30 ft or 9.1 m). Research on inshore bottlenose dolphin behavior off the western coast of Florida showed that dolphins were sighted 92 percent time in the water column in 4.5 m (14.8 ft) or less (Shane, 1990). Therefore, NMFS believes it is likely that all animals will be detected during the marine mammal monitoring, regardless whether the animals are at the surface or submerged. NMFS does not agree with HSUS' assessment that since dolphins rarely travel as singles, the impacts will likely be on groups of animals rather than on individuals. As noted in the **Federal Register** notice (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006), since dolphins tend to stay in groups, it makes much easier to detect animals in the field as different individuals don't always surface at the same time. The mitigation measures require that no activities be carried out when an animal is detected within the safety zone. NMFS believes that no animals, either in groups or solitary, will likely to be impacted by more than Level B harassment. Because activities would be halted if there is a sighting of individual animals or a group. *Comment 4:* The HSUS is concerned that the estimation of the number of animals affected by blast trauma seems low, in regards to HSUS' density estimates for marine mammals and the likelihood of detecting animals that spend little time at the surface. The HSUS also questioned NMFS' determination that no animals will be injured or killed by detonation and live fire operations. *Response:* If the HSUS' statement in Comment 2 that the population estimates for the various stocks of these dolphin species are substantially lower is true, then the number of animals affected by blast trauma would be even lower than NMFS' assessment. As stated in the **Federal Register** notice (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006), the estimated number of mammal takes is carefully calculated by applying marine mammal density to the zone of influence

(ZOI)for each detonation type. Live-fire operations will use small caliber weapons between 5.56 mm and .50 caliber with low-range munitions, and will be conducted on SRI in an area of less than 1 km (0.62 mile) wide. Live-fire exercise involves firing at a hardened structure of steel or wood, and angle of firing would be toward the ground and ricocheting would be minimal due to sandy substrate on SRI. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that a dolphin would be hit by a stray projectile that misses the target and passes the firing range on SRI into the GOM. Species density is based on adjusted GulfCet II aerial survey data, which is the best available data to date. *Comment 5:* The HSUS noted that the calculation of noise impacts from the proposed activities is based on spherical propagation of sound in deep water. The HSUS thinks that shallow water reflection of pressure waves off the bottom can result in both pressure wave impacts and acoustic impacts well beyond a radius predicted by spherical spreading, as the HSUS cited NMFS' assessment on the onset of slight lung injury by precision strike weapons using Goertner model (70 FR 48675). *Response:* One should not be confused by the difference between the overpressures and acoustics impacts upon marine mammals. The former is a wave of pressure in the water column caused by underwater explosions, and the latter is the noise generated by the explosions. Injury ranges determined by the Goertner

(1982)model are most appropriate for use in regions close to the explosive charge, while the proposed surf zone detonation will ensure that no marine mammals as present in the area where Level A harassment could occur. It is correct that calculation based on spherical propagation of noise impacts does not precisely fit the proposed activity. It is also true that shallow-water mine-clearing systems are comprised of lines or multiple blocks of explosive and would typically produce non-spherical zones of influence, therefore, all NET explosive weights in the systems analyzed by Eglin AFB were totaled and a single point of detonation assumed for each system. This approach provides a simplified but conservative analysis. In addition, bottom absorption is likely to reduce much of the acoustic energy that is reflected back into water column. *Comment 6:* The HSUS is concerned that the noise effects from activities involving amphibious vehicles would not be negligible. The HSUS states that noise penetrates the surface of the water when the surface is disrupted by waves and chop. The HSUS is also concerned that dolphins will be able to hear the noise and be disturbed when they are at surface. *Response:* NMFS agrees that some noise from the landing craft could penetrate into the water column when the surface is disrupted by wind and wave, however, much of the acoustic energy will be reflected at the surface due to different acoustic impedance between air and water. In addition, there is no evidence that the maximum noise level (98 dBA) from the LCAC's engine in air will cause more than a momentary disturbance in dolphins. If the noise level is high enough to cause disturbances to marine mammals, it is most likely that marine mammals in the vicinity will move away from the noise source quickly. *Comment 7:* The HSUS argues that the ZOI for this type of activity would be far greater than 2 km (1.24 miles) and thus far more than 68 dolphins without mitigation measures (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006) would be harassed. The HSUS states that it is difficult to conceive only a few dozen dolphins would hear and be disturbed by the noise. The HSUS also states that it seems far more likely that every dolphin within a several-mile radius will hear the explosions, rumbles, and rockets and will at the least temporarily abandon their activities and move away from the noise. *Response:* The **Federal Register** notice (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006) provided detailed description and analyses on the calculation of ZOI relative to different munitions and are not repeated here. The results of these analyses point out that the radii of safety zones and the estimated number of takes that could occur are scientifically sound and are supported by the Committee of Scientific Advisors of the Commission. There is no evidence that the ZOI for this type of activity would be far greater than 2 km (1.24 miles) and more than 68 dolphins without mitigation measures (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006) would be harassed. While it is possible that dolphins within a several-mile radius of the action area could detect explosions, these noises would be so low at these distances and would most likely be masked by the prevailing ambient noise from waves, surf, vessels, and bubbles. Therefore, NMFS believes it is highly unlikely that marine mammals outside the safety zone will abandon their activities and move away. *Comment 8:* The HSUS is concerned about the effectiveness of mitigation and monitoring measures that rely on clarity of water, the Beaufort sea state, and the visibility of bottlenose dolphins surface activity. *Response:* Clarity of water, Beaufort sea state under 3, and using trained marine mammal observers to monitor the action area prior to proposed activity are only three of the several requirements in the IHA. Other mitigation and monitoring measures that are required for the proposed activity, include:

(1)limiting surf zone testing/training missions under daylight conditions; and

(2)limiting surf zone testing between November 1 and March 1 to avoid takes of manatees and sea turtles. NMFS scientists believe that these mitigation and monitoring measures are effective for the proposed activity and would result in the least practicable adverse impact, and this determination is supported by the Committee of Scientific Advisors of the Commission. *Comment 9:* The HSUS stated that vessels on the water have a more limited field of view than helicopters. The HSUS questions the justification for use of one type of monitoring platform and not the other in various activities, and requests that Eglin AFB be required to use the most effective (as opposed to the most expedient) platform for detecting dolphins, manatees and turtles in the area for all activities. *Response:* The effectiveness of platforms used in detecting marine mammals depends on a number of conditions, such as the size of the monitored area and the height of the platform above the water. For monitoring activities during surf zone detonation, the area could reach a 2.3 km (1.4 mile) radius, therefore, a helicopter is believed to be more effective in monitoring this area. However, the live-fire operations are conducted in a much smaller area of the SRI beach, and monitoring would only focus on this limited zone. NMFS believes that small vessels can provide more effective monitoring of this area. *Comment 10:* The HSUS questions the speed of helicopters as it stated that “the speed of the aircraft has a significant effect on the observer's ability to detect animals.” The HSUS also stated that the expertise of personnel is crucial to the effectiveness of this mitigation measure. *Response:* Eglin AFB has not identified a need to specify a maximum or minimum speed at which survey helicopters may operate. All NMFS-approved MMOs are qualified aerial surveyors and are familiar with area of operations as well as the protected species that occur in the region. MMOs are aware of the effect of helicopter speed on survey effectiveness and operate at speeds that maximize the likelihood of animal detection. *Comment 11:* The HSUS is concerned that mitigation will not be possible when live-fire exercises are conducted at night. The HSUS requests that mitigation be required during night-time exercise, and if not, night-time activity should not be permitted. *Response:* The proposed live fire exercise that might occur at night would be conducted on the firing range on SRI. Eglin's proposal was developed to take into account potential impacts to marine mammals. As part of this proposed action, Eglin will require the following measures that are designed to lessen impacts. These include:

(1)firing at a hardened structure of steel or wood so the bullets do not penetrate the target and continue into the GOM;

(2)firing at an angle toward the ground so ricocheting would be minimal due to sandy substrate on SRI; and

(3)using small caliber weapons between 5.56 mm and .50 caliber with low-range munitions. In addition, there will be a maximum of 1 live-fire night-time exercise per year. Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that a dolphin would be hit by a stray bullet. *Comment 12:* The HSUS noted that the permit application stated that the activity being conducted could require closure to vessels of some areas of the GOM to accommodate a 2.5 mile (4.0 km), 110-degree safety fan (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006, page 35871). The HSUS also noted that the risk analysis presumed for dolphins stated the risk is largely in a range that does not exceed 1 km (0.62 mile) (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006, page 35874). The HSUS requests a greater degree of precaution for dolphins. *Response:* The 2.5-mile (4.0 km), 110-degree safety fan refers specifically to the cleared water surface area that is associated with SABRE system testing. This safety fan does not apply to other activities. SABRE system testing involves a rocket-propelled launch of a line of explosives into the air. If conducted at the eastern end of Eglin's SRI property, which is in close proximity to a large civilian population (both residents and tourists), human safety would be a concern. Therefore, a relatively large area of the water surface would be closed to non-military vessels during testing. Safety considerations in this case result from potential above-water impacts due to rocket motor, charge line, or shrapnel/debris strikes. Conversely, the potential risk to dolphins results from underwater impacts, primarily underwater noise produced by detonations. Table 1 of the **Federal Register** notice (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006, page 35873) provides the range of various types of impacts due to underwater noise. These distances range from 42 m (138 ft) to 1.8 km (5906 ft), depending on the threshold evaluated and the net explosive weight used. Above-water human safety zones and in-water noise impact zones are not directly comparable. *Comment 13:* The HSUS noted that post-activity monitoring was only specified for detonation activity, but not other activity. The HSUS is also concerned that a 15-minute helicopter post-activity monitoring is insufficient because any animal that is injured but does not immediately die and float to the surface will be undetected. *Response:* Post-activity monitoring measures are required for all activities under this IHA. Due to the small size of the impact area (maximum radius of 2.3 km, or 1.4 miles for surf zone detonation), NMFS believes that 15 minutes is sufficient to detect any marine mammals within the area immediately following each detonation. Post-activity for actions other than surf zone detonation will be conducted by boats. In addition, due to mitigation and monitoring required by the IHA, no marine mammals are expected to be killed or injured by the proposed activities on SRI. *Comment 14:* The HSUS questions the monitoring measure that includes coordination with marine mammal stranding networks because the stranding networks do not regularly survey the coastline for carcasses and, when discovered in the Florida Panhandle, they are often in a state of decomposition such that cause of death is not readily ascertained. The HSUS is also concerned that because this area has recently been subject to mortality events, carcasses seen along beaches may not necessarily be linked to the Naval activity unless pointed necropsies are done. The HSUS states that this is something that will not be possible for most carcasses, therefore, even if the cause of death is related to Naval activities, it may remain undetected. *Response:* The Eglin AFB is required to monitor the target area prior to, during, and immediately after the proposed activity, and is required to contact the marine mammal stranding networks for any beached animals within the Eglin AFB property. The concern regarding the recent dolphin mortality events and whether the death of dolphins results from Naval activities is not relevant to the issuance of this IHA. As stated previously and concurred by the scientists of the Commission, the proposed activities are expected to result in no more than the incidental taking by Level B harassment of marine mammals. *Comment 15:* The HSUS argues that the **Federal Register** notice (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006) does not appear to be in compliance with NEPA requirements. The HSUS stated that NMFS must study, develop, and describe appropriate alternatives to recommended courses of action, and discuss alternatives it has considered. The HSUS is concerned that under the proposed scheme, stakeholders and the public were not provided an opportunity to comment on a NMFS “NEPA document” that might be prepared after the close of this comment period and associated with issuance of an IHA. *Response:* NMFS does not agree with HSUS's comment. As described in the **Federal Register** notice (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006), the USAF prepared the SRI Mission PEA. The SRI Mission PEA was available for public review during the 30-day comment period and is available upon written request to NMFS Office of Protected Resources (OPR), or by downloading from OPR's website at *http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/pdfs/permits/sri_iha_ea.pdf* . NMFS staff reviewed Eglin's PEA and determined that it meets the standards under the NMFS regulations and NOAA's Administrator Order 216-6 for the issuance of this IHA. NMFS believes this is consistent with the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the NEPA. NMFS has issued a Finding of No Significant Impact statement. *Comment 16:* The Commission requests that NMFS assess the likelihood of detecting marine mammals at or below the water surface within zones of potential impacts, particularly when operations are conducted at night. *Response:* As described in the **Federal Register** notice (71 FR 35870, June 22, 2006), marine mammal detection within zones of potential impacts will be conducted prior to planned mission activities. After reviewing the Eglin AFB's marine mammal monitoring protocols, NMFS determined that monitoring measures developed by Eglin AFB are highly effective in detecting marine mammals at or below the water surface within zones of potential impacts during daylight hours. However, since no mitigation measures for marine mammals would be feasible for night-time missions, night-time operations will not be monitored, as they are only associated with live-fire exercises conducted on designated on-shore firing ranges on SRI. *Comment 17:* The Commission requests that operations be suspended immediately if a dead or seriously injured marine mammal is found in the vicinity of the operations and the death or injury could have occurred incidental to the proposed activities. *Response:* NMFS agrees, and the IHA will specify that operations be suspended immediately if a dead or seriously injured marine mammal is found in the vicinity of the operations potentially linked to Eglin's activity. *Comment 18:* The Commission requests that NMFS revises its interpretation of temporary threshold shift

(TTS)to indicate that it has the potential to injure marine mammals (and in the case of military readiness activities has a significant potential to injure marine mammals) and therefore constitutes Level A harassment due to the foreseeable secondary effects of temporary hearing loss. *Response:* NMFS stated in a previous **Federal Register** notice (68 FR 64595, November 14, 2003) that the reclassification of TTS from Level B to Level A harassment requires support and scientific documentation, and not be based on speculation that TTS might result in increased predation, for example. In addition, it is irrelevant for this IHA, because sound levels will not be high since mitigation and monitoring requirements under the IHA is expected to prevent TTS. Also, while there has been discussion among scientists regarding whether a permanent shift in hearing threshold

(PTS)can occur with repeated exposures of TTS, at least one study showed that long-term (4 - 7 years) noise exposure on three experimental pinniped species had caused no change on their underwater hearing thresholds at frequencies of 0.2 - 6.4 kHz (Southall *et al.* , 2005). *Comment 19:* The Commission requests that NMFS advise the Air Force, if it has not already done so, of the need to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

(FWS)to confirm that manatees are not likely to occur in or near the vicinity of the test site at the time the tests are scheduled to be conducted. *Response:* Eglin AFB has consulted with the FWS on the proposed mission activities in accordance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA, 16 USC 1531 *et seq.* ). The FWS issued a Biological Opinion on December 1, 2005, and concluded that the proposed action is not likely to adversely affect West Indian manatees based on Eglin's commitment to incorporate measures to avoid and minimize impacts to the species. Description of Marine Mammals Affected by the Activity Marine mammal species potentially occurring within the proposed action area include the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin ( *Tursiops truncatus* ), the Atlantic spotted dolphin ( *Stenella frontalis* ), and the Florida manatee ( *Trichechus manatus latirostris* ). General information on these species and stocks are provided in the June 22, 2006, **Federal Register** (71 FR 35870). Therefore, it is not repeated here. More detailed information on Florida manatee can be found in the *Florida Manatee Recovery Plan* (US Fish and Wildlife Service, 2001). More detailed information on the Atlantic bottlenose and spotted dolphins can be found in the NMFS Stock Assessment Reports at: *http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/sars/species.htm* . Potential Impacts to Marine Mammals Marine mammals may be impacted by underwater noise and direct physical impacts (DPI). Noise is produced by underwater detonations in the surf zone and by the operation of amphibious vehicles. DPI could result from collisions with amphibious vehicles and from ordnance live fire. However, with implementation of the mitigation measures discussed throughout this document, impacts to marine mammals are anticipated to be no more than negligible. Explosive criteria and thresholds for assessing impacts of explosions on marine mammals were discussed by NMFS in detail in its issuance of an IHA for Eglin's Precision Strike Weapon testing activity (70 FR 48675, August 19, 2005) and are not repeated here. Please refer to that document for this background information. Estimation of Take and Impact Surf Zone Detonation Surf zone detonation noise impacts are considered within two categories: overpressure and acoustics. Underwater explosive detonations produce a wave of pressure in the water column. This pressure wave potentially has lethal and injurious impacts, depending on the proximity to the source detonation. Humans and animals receive the acoustic signature of noise as sound. Beyond the physical impacts, acoustics may cause annoyance and behavior modifications (Goertner, 1982). Impacts to marine mammals from underwater detonations were discussed by NMFS in detail in its notice of receipt of application for an IHA for Eglin's Air-to-Surface Gunnery mission in the Gulf (71 FR 3474, January 23, 2006) and is not repeated here. Please refer to that document for this background information. A maximum of one surf zone testing/training mission would be completed per year. The impact areas of the proposed action are derived from mathematical calculations and models that predict the distances to which threshold noise levels would travel. The equations for the models consider the amount of net explosive, the properties of detonations under water, and environmental factors such as depth of the explosion, overall water depth, water temperature, and bottom type. The end result of the analysis is an area known as the Zone of Influence (ZOI). A ZOI is based on an outward radial distance from the point of detonation, extending to the limit of a particular threshold level in a 360-degree area. Thus, there are separate ZOIs for mortality, injury (hearing-related injury and slight, non-fatal lung injury), and harassment (temporary threshold shift, or TTS, and sub-TTS). Given the radius, and assuming noise spreads outward in a spherical manner, the entire area ensonified (i.e., exposed to the specific noise level being analyzed) is estimated. The radius of each threshold is shown for each shallow water surf zone mine clearing system in Table 1. The radius is assumed to extend from the point of detonation in all directions, allowing calculation of the affected area. The number of takes is calculated by applying marine mammal density to the ZOI

(area)for each detonation type. Species density for most cetaceans is based on adjusted GulfCet II aerial survey data, which is shown in Table 2. GulfCet II data were conservatively adjusted upward to approximately two standard deviations to obtain 99 percent confidence, and a submergence correction factor was applied to account for the presence of submerged, uncounted animals. However, the actual number of marine mammal takes would be even smaller, since up to half of the ZOI would be over land and very shallow surf, which is not considered marine mammal habitat. Table 1.

Table 3 lists the noise-related dolphin take estimates resulting from surf zone detonations associated with the Perferred Alternative of the PEA. The take numbers represent the combined total of Atlantic bottlenose and Atlantic spotted dolphins, and do not consider any mitigation measures. Implementation of mitigation measures discussed below could significantly decrease the number of takes. Discussion of the amount of take reduction is provided below. Noise from LCAC Noise resulting from LCAC operations was considered under a transit mode of operation. The LCAC uses rotary air screw technology to power the craft over the water, therefore, noise from the engine is not emitted directly into the water. The Navy's acoustic in-water noise characterization studies show the noise emitted from the LCAC into the water is very similar to that of the MH-53 helicopter operating at low altitudes. Based on the Air Force's Excess Sound Attenuation Model for the LCAC's engines under ground runup condition, the data estimate that the maximum noise level (98 dBA) is at a point 45 degrees from the bow of the craft at a distance of 61 m (200 ft) in air. Maximum noise levels fall below 90 dBA at a point less than 122 meters (400 ft) from the craft in air (U.S. Air Force, 1999). Due to the large difference of acoustic impedance between air and water, much of the acoustic energy would be reflected at the surface. Therefore, the effects of noise from LCAC to marine mammals would be negligible. Collision with Vessels During the time that amphibious vehicles are operating in (or, in the case of LCACs, just above) the water, encounters with marine mammals are possible. A slight possibility exists that such encounters could result in a vessel physically striking an animal. However, this scenario is considered very unlikely. Dolphins are extremely mobile and have keen hearing and would likely leave the vicinity of any vehicle traffic. The largest vehicles that would be moving are LCACs, and their beam measurement can be used for conservative impact analyses. The operation which potentially uses the largest number of LCACs is Amphibious Ready Group/Marine Expeditionary Unit (ARG/MEU) training. Based on analysis in the *ARG/MEU Readiness Training Environmental Assessment* (U.S. Air Force, 2003b), LCAC activities (over 10 days) could potentially impact 22.25 square miles of the total water surface area. The estimated number of bottlenose dolphins in this area is 6.9, with an approximately equal number of Atlantic spotted dolphins. These species would easily avoid collision because the LCACs produce noise that would be detected some distance away, and therefore would be avoided as any other boat in the Gulf. In addition, AAVs move very slowly and would be easily avoided. The potential for amphibious craft colliding with marine mammals and causing injury or death is therefore considered remote. Live Fire Operations Live-fire operations with munitions directed towards the Gulf have the potential to impact marine mammals (primarily bottlenose and Atlantic spotted dolphins). Cetacean abundance estimates for the study area are derived from GulfCet II aerial surveys in the eastern Gulf waters (Davis *et al.* , 2000). To provide a more conservative impact analysis, density estimates have been adjusted to account for submerged individuals. The percent of time that an animal is submerged versus at the surface was obtained from Moore and Clarke (1998), and used to determine an adjusted density for each species. The result shows an estimated animal density of 1.54 animals/km 2 (Table 2). A maximum of two live-fire operations would be conducted in a year, and are associated with expanded Special Operations training on SRI. Small caliber weapons between 5.56 mm and .50 caliber with low-range munitions would be allowed only within designated live-fire areas. The average range of the munitions is approximately 1 km (0.54 nm). If a given live-fire area was 1 km (0.54 nm) wide, then approximately 1.5 dolphins could be vulnerable to a munitions strike. However, even the largest live-fire area on SRI is considerably less than 1 km (0.54 nm) wide. If live fire is conservatively estimated to originate from a section of beach 0.2 km (0.11 nm) wide, only 0.3 dolphins would be within the area of potential DPI. Moreover, the mitigation measures discussed below would further reduce the likelihood of direct impacts to marine mammals due to live-fire operations. Therefore, given the infrequency of the surf-zone detonation (maximum of once per year), amphibious vehicle testing, and live-fire weapons testing (maximum of twice per year), NMFS believes there is no potential for long-term displacement or behavioral impacts of marine mammals within the proposed action area. Mitigation Eglin AFB would employ a number of mitigation measures in order to substantially decrease the number of marine mammals potentially affected. Visual monitoring of the operational area can be a very effective means of detecting the presence of marine mammals. This is particularly true of the two species most likely to be present (bottlenose and Atlantic spotted dolphins) due to their tendency to occur in groups, their relatively short dive time, and their relatively high level of surface activity. In addition, the water clarity in the northeastern GOM is typically very high. It is often possible to view the entire water column in the water depth that defines the study area (30 feet or 9.1 m). For the surf zone testing/training, missions would only be conducted under daylight conditions of suitable visibility and Beaufort sea state three or less. Prior to the mission, a trained MMO aboard a helicopter would survey (visually monitor) the test area, which is a very effective method for detecting sea turtles and cetaceans. In addition, shipboard personnel would provide supplemental observations when available. The size of the area to be surveyed would depend on the specific test system, but it would correspond to the ZOI for Level B behavior harassment (176 dB 1/3 octave SEL) listed in Table 1. The survey would be conducted approximately 250 feet (76 m) above the sea surface to allow observers to scan a large distance. If a marine mammal is sighted within the ZOI, the mission would be suspended until the animal is clear of this area. In addition, to reduce the potential impacts to sea turtles and manatees, surf zone testing would be conducted between 1 November and 1 March whenever possible. Navy personnel (NSWCPC) would only conduct live-fire testing with Beaufort sea surface conditions of 3 or less, which is when there is about 33 - 50 percent of surface whitecaps with 0.6 - 0.9 m (2 - 3 ft) waves. During daytime missions, small boats would be used to survey for marine mammals in the proposed action area before and after the operations. If a marine mammal is sighted within the target or closely adjacent areas, the mission would be suspended until the area is clear. No mitigation for marine mammals would be feasible for nighttime mission, however, given the remoteness of impact, however, the potential that a marine mammal is injured or killed is unlikely and will not be authorized. Monitoring and Reporting The Eglin AFB will train personnel to conduct aerial surveys for protected species. The aerial survey/monitoring team would consist of an observer and a pilot familiar with flying transect patterns. A helicopter provides a preferable viewing platform for detection of protected marine species. The aerial observer must be experienced in marine mammal surveying and be familiar with species that may occur in the area. The observer would be responsible for relaying the location (latitude and longitude), the species if known, and the number of animals sighted. The aerial team would also identify large schools of fish, jellyfish aggregations, and any large accumulation of Sargassum that could potentially drift into the ZOI. Standard line-transect aerial surveying methods would be used. Observed marine mammals and sea turtles would be identified to species or the lowest possible taxonomic level possible. The aerial and (potential) shipboard monitoring teams would have proper lines of communication to avoid communication deficiencies. Observers would have direct communication via radio with the Lead Scientist. The Lead Scientist reviews the range conditions and recommends a Go/No-Go decision to the Officer in Tactical Command, who makes the final Go/No-Go decision. Stepwise mitigation procedures for SRI surf zone missions are outlined below. All zones (mortality, injury, TTS) would be monitored. Pre-mission Monitoring: The purposes of pre-mission monitoring are to

(1)evaluate the test site for environmental suitability of the mission (e.g., relatively low numbers of marine mammals and turtles, few or no patches of Sargassum, etc.) and

(2)verify that the ZOI is free of visually detectable marine mammals, sea turtles, large schools of fish, large flocks of birds, large Sargassum mats, and large concentrations of jellyfish (the latter two are possible indicators of turtle presence). On the morning of the test, the lead scientist would confirm that the test site can support the mission and that the weather is adequate to support observations.

(1)One Hour Prior to Mission Approximately one hour prior to the mission, or at daybreak, the appropriate vessel(s) would be on-site near the location of the earliest planned mission point. Personnel onboard the vessel would assess the suitability of the test site, based on visual observation of marine mammals and sea turtles. This information would be relayed to the Lead Scientist.

(2)Fifteen Minutes Prior to Mission Aerial monitoring would commence at the test site 15 minutes prior to the start of the mission. The entire ZOI would be surveyed by flying transects through the area. Shipboard personnel would also monitor the area as available. All marine mammal sightings would be reported to the Lead Scientist, who would enter all pertinent data into a sighting database.

(3)Go/No-Go Decision Process The Lead Scientist would record sightings and bearing for all protected species detected. This would depict animal sightings relative to the mission area. The Lead Scientist would have the authority to declare the range fouled and recommend a hold until monitoring indicates that the ZOI is and will remain clear of detectable animals. The mission would be postponed if any marine mammal or sea turtle is visually detected within the ZOI for Level B behavioral harassment. The delay would continue until the marine mammal or sea turtle is confirmed to be outside the ZOI for Level B behavioral harassment. In the event of a postponement, pre-mission monitoring would continue as long as weather and daylight hours allow. Aerial monitoring is limited by fuel and the on-station time of the monitoring aircraft. Post-mission monitoring: Post-mission monitoring is designed to determine the effectiveness of pre-mission mitigation by reporting any sightings of dead or injured marine mammals or sea turtles. Post-detonation monitoring would commence immediately following each detonation and continue for 15 minutes. The helicopter would resume transects in the area of the detonation, concentrating on the area down current of the test site. The monitoring team would attempt to document any marine mammals or turtles that were found dead or injured after the detonation, and, if practicable, recover and examine any dead animals. The species, number, location, and behavior of any animals observed by the observation teams would be documented and reported to the Lead Scientist. Post-mission monitoring activities would also include coordination with marine animal stranding networks. The NMFS maintains stranding networks along coasts to collect and circulate information about marine mammal and sea turtle standings. In addition, NMFS will require Eglin to monitor the target area for impacts to marine mammals and to report its activities on an annual basis. Accordingly, NMFS' Biological Opinion on this action has recommended certain monitoring measures to protect marine life. NMFS will require the same requirements under an IHA in order to conclude that this activity will result in no more than a negligible impacts on species and stocks of marine mammals:

(1)Eglin is working with NMFS to develop and implement a marine species observer-training program. This program will provide expertise to Eglin's testing and training community in the identification of protected marine species during surface and aerial mission activities in the GOM. Additionally, personnel involved in the surf zone and amphibious vehicle and weapon testing/training would participate in the proposed species observation training. Observers would receive training in protected species survey and identification techniques through a NMFS-approved training program.

(2)Eglin will track their use of the surf zone and amphibious vehicle and weapon testing/training for test firing missions and protected resources (marine mammal/sea turtle) observations, through the use of an observer training sheet.

(3)A summary annual report of marine mammal/sea turtle observations and surf zone and amphibious vehicle and weapon testing/training activities would be submitted to the NMFS Southeast Regional Office and the Office of Protected Resources within 90 days of the expiration of this IHA.

(4)If any marine mammal or sea turtle is observed or detected to be deceased prior to testing, or injured or killed during live fire, a report must be made to the NMFS by the following business day.

(5)Any unauthorized takes of marine mammals (i.e., serious injury or mortality) must be reported immediately to the NMFS representative and to the respective stranding network representative. ESA On March 18, 2005, NMFS Southeast Regional Office received a letter from the U.S. Air Force (USAF), Eglin AFB, requesting initiation of formal consultation on all potential environmental impacts to ESA-listed species from all Eglin AFB mission activities on SRI and within the surf zone near SRI. These missions include the surf zone detonation and amphibious vehicle and weapon testing/training. On October 12, 2005, NMFS issued a Biological Opinion, concluding that the surf zone and amphibious vehicle and weapon testing/training are unlikely to jeopardize the continued existence of species listed under the ESA that are within the jurisdiction of NMFS or destroy or adversely modify critical habitat. In addition, on March 18, 2005, Eglin AFB provided the FWS with a request for formal section 7 consultation for the SRI programmatic program regarding ESA-listed species and critical habitat under FWS jurisdiction. On December 1, 2005, FWS issued a Biological Opinion and concluded that the proposed mission activities are not likely to adversely affect these ESA-listed species based on Eglin's commitment to incorporate measures to avoid and minimize impacts to these species. NEPA In March, 2005, the USAF prepared the *Santa Rosa Island Mission Utilization Plan Programmatic Environmental Assessment* (SRI Mission PEA). NMFS reviewed this PEA and determined that it satisfies, in large part, the standards for an adequate statement under the NMFS regulations and is consistent with the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations and NOAA's Administrators Order 216-6 for implementing the procedural provisions of the NEPA (40 CFR 1508.3). NMFS supplemented the PEA with our own cumulative impacts analysis to better ascertain the cumulative effects of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable activities conducted within and around Santa Rosa Island. Therefore, NMFS decided to adopt this PEA with the supplemental cumulative impacts analysis for the issuance of the IHA and has issued a Finding of No Significant Impact statement. Determinations NMFS has determined that the surf zone and amphibious vehicle and weapon testing/training that are proposed by Eglin AFB off the coast of SRI, is unlikely to result in the mortality or serious injury of marine mammals (see Tables 2 and 3) and, would result in, at worst, a temporary modification in behavior by marine mammals. While behavioral modifications may be made by these species as a result of the surf zone detonation and amphibious vehicle training activities, any behavioral change is expected to have a negligible impact on the affected species or stocks. Also, given the infrequency of the testing/training missions (maximum of once per year for surf zone detonation and maximum of twice per year for amphibious assault training involving live fire), there is no potential for long-term displacement or long-lasting behavioral impacts of marine mammals within the proposed action area. In addition, the potential for temporary hearing impairment is very low and would be mitigated to the lowest level practicable through the incorporation of the mitigation measures mentioned in this document. There is no subsistence use of these marine mammal species in the action area. Authorization NMFS has issued an IHA, pursuant to MMPA section 101(a)(5)(D), to Eglin AFB for conducting surf zone and amphibious vehicle and weapon testing/training off the coast of SRI in the northern GOM provided the previously mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements are implemented.
