because of the small ZOIs (compared to
the vast size of the GOM ecosystem
where these species live) and the small
amounts of explosives used in the A–S
gunnery exercises, NMFS has
preliminarily determined that there will
not be a substantial impact on marine
mammals or on the normal functioning
of the nearshore or offshore GOM
ecosystems. The proposed activity is not
expected to impact rates of recruitment
or survival of marine mammals since
neither mortality (which would remove
individuals from the population) nor
injury are anticipated to occur.
Although the proposed activity is
anticipated to result in Level B
harassment of marine mammals (both by
behavioral disturbance and TTS), the
level of harassment is not anticipated to
impact rates of recruitment or survival
of marine mammals.
Additionally, the mitigation and
monitoring measures proposed to be
implemented (described earlier in this
document) are expected to further
minimize the potential for harassment.
The protected species surveys will
require Eglin AFB to search the area for
marine mammals, and if any are found
in the live fire area, then the exercise
must be suspended until the animal(s)
has left the area or relocated. Moreover,
the aircrews of the A–S gunnery
missions will initiate location and
surveillance of a suitable firing site
immediately after exiting U.S. territorial
waters (less than or equal to 12 nm (22
km)). This would potentially restrict
most gunnery activities to the shallower
continental shelf waters of the GOM
where marine mammal densities are
typically lower, and thus potentially
avoid the slope waters where the more
sensitive species (e.g., endangered
sperm whales) typically reside.
Based on the analysis contained
herein of the likely effects of the
specified activity on marine mammals
and their habitat, and taking into
consideration the implementation of the
mitigation and monitoring measures,
NMFS preliminarily finds that Eglin
AFB’s A–S gunnery mission exercises
will result in the incidental take of
marine mammals, by Level B
harassment only, and that the total
taking from the A–S gunnery mission
exercises will have a negligible impact
on the affected species or stocks.
Impact on Availability of Affected
Species or Stock for Taking for
Subsistence Uses
There are no relevant subsistence uses
of marine mammals implicated by this
action. Therefore, NMFS has
preliminarily determined that the total
taking of affected species or stocks

Jkt 223001

would not have an unmitigable adverse
impact on the availability of such
species or stocks for taking for
subsistence purposes.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
A Biological Opinion issued by NMFS
on October 20, 2004, concluded that the
A–S gunnery exercises in the EGTTR 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. NMFS has preliminarily
determined that this action, including
the modifications to the mitigation and
monitoring measures in the previous
IHAs issued to Eglin AFB and proposed
for inclusion in the 2011 IHA (if issued),
does not have effects beyond that which
was analyzed in that previous
consultation, it is within the scope of
that action, and reinitiation of
consultation is not necessary. However,
prior to issuance of this IHA, NMFS will
make a final determination whether
additional consultation is necessary.
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
The USAF prepared a Final PEA in
November 2002 for the EGTTR activity.
NMFS made the USAF’s 2002 Final PEA
available upon request on January 23,
2006 (71 FR 3474). In accordance with
NOAA Administrative Order 216–6
(Environmental Review Procedures for
Implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act, May 20,
1999), NMFS reviewed the information
contained in the USAF’s 2002 Final
PEA, and, on May 1, 2006, determined
that the document accurately and
completely described the proposed
action, the alternatives to the proposed
action, and the potential impacts on
marine mammals, endangered species,
and other marine life that could be
impacted by the preferred alternative
and the other alternatives. Accordingly,
NMFS adopted the USAF’s 2002 Final
PEA under 40 CFR 1506.3 and made its
own FONSI on May 16, 2006. The
NMFS FONSI also took into
consideration updated data and
information contained in NMFS’
Federal Register document noting
issuance of an IHA to Eglin AFB for this
activity (71 FR 27695, May 12, 2006),
and previous notices (71 FR 3474,
January 23, 2006; 70 FR 48675, August
19, 2005).
As the issuance of the 2008 IHA to
Eglin AFB amended three of the
mitigation measures for reasons of
practicality and safety, NMFS reviewed
the USAF’s 2002 Final PEA and
determined that a new EA was
warranted to address: (1) The proposed

modifications to the mitigation and
monitoring measures; (2) the use of 23
psi as a change in the criterion for
estimating potential impacts on marine
mammals from explosives; and (3) a
cumulative effects analysis of potential
environmental impacts from all GOM
activities (including Eglin mission
activities), which was not addressed in
the USAF’s 2002 Final PEA. Therefore,
NMFS prepared a new EA in December
2008 and issued a FONSI for its action
on December 9, 2008. Based on those
findings, NMFS determined that it was
not necessary to complete an
environmental impact statement for the
issuance of an IHA to Eglin AFB for this
activity. NMFS has preliminarily
determined that this proposed activity is
within the scope of NMFS’ 2008 EA and
FONSI.
Proposed Authorization
As a result of these preliminary
determinations, NMFS proposes to
authorize the take of several species of
marine mammals incidental to the
USAF, Eglin AFB, for their A–S gunnery
mission activities in the GOM provided
the previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated.
