Summary

Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to U.S. Air Force Launches and Operations at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VADB), California. On January 24, 2019, we published a proposed rule to establish a framework under the authority of the MMPA to allow for the authorization of take of marine mammals incidental to operations at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB). We published this proposed rule during the government shut-down, and incorrectly stated who made a certification under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA). The proposed rule omitted a Department of Commerce (DOC) docket number and has been added after the part heading. Also, an incorrect FDMS docket number was inserted. This notification corrects these errors.
