This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Notice; proposed incidental harassment authorizations; request for comments on proposed authorizations and possible renewals; correction.
On June 14, 2024, a notice was published in the Federal Register announcing the proposed issuance of two incidental harassment authorizations (IHAs) for take of marine mammals incidental to oil and gas activities in Cook Inlet, Alaska. That document inadvertently contained errors in tables 7 and 10. This document only corrects those errors; all other information is unchanged.

NMFS published a notice in the Federal Register on June 14, 2024 (89 FR 51102) announcing the proposed issuance of two IHAs for take of marine mammals incidental to oil and gas activities in Cook Inlet, Alaska. NMFS refers the reader to the June 14, 2024, Federal Register notice (89 FR 51102) for background information concerning the IHAs.
On page 51118, table 7 is corrected to read as follows: ( printed page 53962)
| Sound source | SSL | |
|---|---|---|
| SEL | SPL RMS | |
| 3 tugs at 50 percent power | 185 dB at 1 m. | |
| 4 tugs at 50 percent power | 186.2 dB at 1 m. | |
| Conductor pipe pile (20 in, impact) | 184 dB at 10 m | 193 dB at 10 m. |
On page 51120, table 10 is corrected to read as follows:
| Sound source | Level A Harassment Isopleths (m) | Level B Harassment Isopleths (m) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LF | MF | HF | PW | OW | ||
| Conductor pipe pile, 70 percent installation | 3,064 | 109 | 3,650 | 1,640 | 119 | 1,585 |
| Conductor pipe pile, 30 percent installation | 1,742 | 62 | 2,075 | 932 | 68 | |
| Tugging/Positioning, 3 Tugs 1 | 95 | 78 | 679 | 69 | 0 | 3,850 |
| Tugging/Positioning, 4 Tugs 2 | 108 | 89 | 773 | 79 | 1 | 4,483 |
| 1 These zones are results from Hilcorp's modeling. | ||||||
| 2 For otariids, Hilcorp's model estimated a Level A harassment zone of 0 during tugging/positioning with three tugs. Therefore, for four tugs, NMFS applied the Level A harassment zone calculating with the User Spreadsheet. | ||||||
