    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued a correction to a previously published proposed rule related to incidental takes of marine mammals during U.S. Navy construction activities at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia. The correction changes the deadline for written comments from "January 20, 2021" to "January 21, 2021." This update aims to ensure that the public has accurate information regarding when comments on the proposed rule are due.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants people to give their opinions about a plan that might affect sea animals when the Navy works on a project in Virginia. They fixed a mistake in their notice by changing the date when people can send in their thoughts about this plan from January 20 to January 21.

  • 2024-30823 — Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to U.S. Navy Repair and Replacement of the Q8 Bulkhead at Naval Station Norfolk
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 105477
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Commerce Department, published a rule regarding the incidental taking of marine mammals during the U.S. Navy's Q8 bulkhead repair and replacement project at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia. The Navy requested a delay of the rule's effective date from January 1, 2025, to August 4, 2025, and an extension of the expiration date to August 3, 2030, due to construction delays. This rule allows for the incidental impact on small numbers of marine mammals from activities like pile removal and installation, which will take place in phases over 212 non-consecutive days. The NMFS decided not to hold a further public comment period as the changes only affect the dates and not the conditions or assessments of the original rule.

    Simple Explanation

    The Navy asked to change the start and end dates for a plan to fix a big wall at a naval station, and this change might affect sea animals nearby. The people in charge said okay but decided there wouldn't be a chance for people to say what they think about this change.
