SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
NMFS published a notice of a modified proposed IHA in the Federal
Register on May 20, 2021 (86 FR 27393), based on a request from
Mayflower Wind Energy LLC (Mayflower) for authorization to take marine
mammals incidental to site characterization surveys off the coast of
Massachusetts in the area of the Commercial Lease of Submerged Lands
for Renewable Energy Development on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS-A
0521) and along potential submarine cable routes to landfall locations
at Falmouth, Massachusetts and near Narragansett Bay. The information
in the notice of modified proposed IHA is not repeated here. As
published, the notice of modified proposed IHA (86 FR 27393; May 20,
[[Page 30435]]
2021) omitted the DATES section including the closing date of the
comment period.
Correction

page 27394, in the first column, correct the DATES section to read as
follows:
DATES: Comments and information must be received no later than June 21,
2021.
The closing date for public comments regarding the notice of
modified proposed IHA published on May 20, 2021 (86 FR 27393) in the
Federal Register is June 21, 2021.
Dated: June 2, 2021.
