Marine Mammal Protection Act Authorization. (s). If the Lessee is required to obtain an authorization pursuant to section 101(a)(5) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act prior to conducting survey activities in support of plan submittal, BOEM will require the Lessees to provide to the Lessor a copy of the authorization prior to commencing these activities. Site Characterization: An updated requirement regarding survey plans and pre-survey meetings (subsection 2.1 of Addendum “C” to the proposed lease). XXXX proposes to make the pre-survey meeting between the lessee and BOEM optional at BOEM's discretion. XXXX also recommends removing the requirement for lessees to meet with BOEM prior to holding Tribal pre-survey meetings. This change would allow lessees more flexibility in scheduling Tribal pre-survey meetings, possibly holding them earlier and allowing greater opportunity for Tribal input.
