{"abstract":"NMFS has received a request from the U.S. Navy (Navy) to extend the expiration date from December 2023 to December 2025 for Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) regulations authorizing the take of marine mammals incidental to Navy training and testing activities conducted in the Hawaii-Southern California Training and Testing (HSTT) Study Area. In August 2018, the MMPA was amended by the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019 to allow for seven-year authorizations for military readiness activities, as compared to the previously allowed five years. The Navy's activities qualify as military readiness activities pursuant to the MMPA as amended by the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2004. In making the request to extend the time period covered by the MMPA 2018 HSTT regulations from five to seven years, the Navy proposes no changes to their specified activities, the geographical region in which those activities would be conducted, mitigation measures, monitoring, or reporting over the longer seven- year period. NMFS invites the public to provide information, suggestions, and comments on the Navy's application.","action":"Notice; receipt of application for regulations and Letters of Authorization extension; request for comments and information.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","id":361,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/361","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2019/05/08/2019-09376.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"84 FR 20105","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2019-06-07","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments and information must be received no later than June 7, 2019.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2019-09376","effective_on":null,"end_page":20107,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2019/05/08/2019-09376.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/05/08/2019-09376/taking-and-importing-marine-mammals-taking-marine-mammals-incidental-to-the-us-navy-training-and","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2019-09376?publication_date=2019-05-08","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2019-05-08/2019-09376/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":230,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 22:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-05-08/pdf/2019-09376.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-09376.pdf?1557233116","publication_date":"2019-05-08","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2019/05/08/2019-09376.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-XG95":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-XG95"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-02-28T19:19:22Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":20105,"subtype":null,"title":"Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to the U.S. Navy Training and Testing Activities in the Hawaii-Southern California Training and Testing Study Area","toc_doc":"U.S. Navy Training and Testing Activities in the Hawaii-Southern California Training and Testing Study Area","toc_subject":"Taking and Importing Marine Mammals:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":84}
