چکیده
The Marine Mammal Commission, in consultation with its Committee of Scientific Advisors on Marine Mammals, has reviewed the application submitted by the Statoil USA E&P, Inc., seeking authorization under section 101 (a) (5) (D) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act to take small numbers of marine mammals by harassment. The taking would be incidental to a marine seismic survey in the Chukchi Sea, Alaska, during approximately 60 days between 15 July and 30 November 2010. The Commission also has reviewed the National Marine Fisheries Service's 8 June 2010 Federal Register notice announcing receipt of the application and proposing to issue the authorization, subject to certain conditions (75 Fed. Reg. 32379).
