    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service 50 CFR Part 17 [FWS-R7-ES-2009-0024] [MO9221050083-B2] Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding on a Petition to List the Yellow-Billed Loon as Threatened or Endangered AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice of 12-month petition finding. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 12-month finding on a petition to list the yellow-billed loon (Gavia adamsii) as threatened or endangered, with critical habitat, under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended 1 (Act). The petitioners provided two listing options for consideration by the Service: (1) listing the yellow-billed loon throughout its range, or (2) listing the United States population of the yellow-billed loon as a Distinct Population Segment (DPS). After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we have determined that listing the yellow-billed loon rangewide under the Act is warranted but precluded by other higher priority listing actions. DATES: This finding was made on [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. ADDRESSES: This finding is available on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Data, information, comments, or questions regarding this notice should be submitted to the Field Supervisor, Endangered Species Branch, Fairbanks Fish and Wildlife Field Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 101-12th Ave., Room 110, Fairbanks, AK 99701. The complete administrative file for this finding is available for public inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours at the above address. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

    NAMMCO Annual Report 2014 SECTION 3 SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE 3.1 REPORT OF THE 21ST SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE MEETING Executive summary The 21st meeting of the Scientific Committee (SC) was held in Bergen, Norway, 3 – 6 November 2014. The SC had the T-NASS Steering Committee- Proposal for T-NASS2015 and report from the NASS2015 Joint Technical, Planning and Steering meeting (Annex 1), and a summary of the NAMMCO-Joint Commission on Narwhal & Beluga (JCNB) Catch Allocation Sub-group Meeting (SC/21/07). National Progress Reports (NPRs) were received from all member countries and observers except for the Greenlandic NPR, which was not received in time for consideration at the meeting. Other reports and documents were presented and were examined under the relevant agenda items. COOPERATION WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS ASCOBANS plans to write to the EU regarding the Faroese pilot whale hunt. The SC and Secretariat did not know if this letter had been written at the time of the SC meeting. These issues are usually handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Formally NAMMCO and ASCOBANS have an official agreement on exchange of observers. The SC recommended that the NAMMCO Secretariat request harbour porpoise by-catch numbers for the North Sea from ASCOBANS, when needed for future assessments/WGs. A request for NAMMCO to join the ICES WGHARP was sent from the NAMMCO Secretariat to the ICES Secretariat in August 2014. Role of Marine Mammals in the Ecosystem The traditional perception of prey species preference of killer whales in the Northeast Atlantic has, to a large extent, been linked to herring.

Its overall objective is to improve our understanding of circum- Arctic coastal dynamics as a function of environmental forcing, coastal geology and cryology and morphodynamic behavior. The fifth IASC-sponsored ACD workshop was held in Montreal, Canada, on October 13-16, 2004. Participants from Canada (20), Germany (3), Malaysia (1), the Netherlands (1), Norway (1), Russia (14), and the United States (6) attended. The objective of the workshop was to review the status of ACD according to the Science and Implementation Plan, with the main focus on completing the circum-Arctic ACD segmentation and classification and initiating the development of web-deliverable GIS products. During the first part of the workshop, progress reports of the working groups of the last workshop held in St.
