## Abstract

This final rule reinstates rules of practice and procedure for formal rulemaking hearings conducted under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). These rules were removed from the Code of Federal Regulations in 1995 because of non-use. NMFS now anticipates the need for formal rulemaking hearings. The intent of this action is to reinstate the rules of practice and procedure for formal rulemaking hearings conducted under the MMPA.
