On
January 21, 2004, notice was published
in the Federal Register (69 FR 2902)
that a request for a scientific research
permit to take marine mammals had
been submitted by the above-named
individual. The requested permit has
been granted under the authority of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the
Regulations Governing the Taking and
Importing of Marine Mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), and the regulations governing
the taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226).
Permit No. 909–1726–00 authorizes
the Holder to biopsy sample and collect
naturally sloughed skin from sperm
whales (Physeter macrocephalus) and a
variety of other non-listed cetacean
species in the Gulf of Mexico, North
Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and
Mediterranean Sea. The goal is the
continuation of a previous four-year
study that analyzes population genetic
structure between the Gulf of Mexico,
Caribbean Sea, North Atlantic Ocean,
and Mediterranean Sea and provides a
comparison of these putative geographic
populations with those of other
geographic areas. Samples would be
obtained via biopsy dart,
opportunistically collected sloughed
skin, as well using extant samples of
stored material obtained from NMFS
Southeast and Northeast regional
stranding networks. Samples will be
imported/exported to research facilities
in the United Kingdom, New Zealand,
Canada, and the United States for
genetic sample processing.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an environmental
assessment was prepared analyzing the
effects of the permitted activities. After
a Finding of No Significant Impact, the
determination was made that it was not
necessary to prepare an environmental
impact statement.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA was based on a finding that
such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of the endangered species
which is the subject of this permit, and
(3) is consistent with the purposes and
policies set forth in section 2 of the
ESA.

(OCRM) announces its intent to evaluate
the performance of the Tijuana River
National Estuarine Research Reserve.
The National Estuarine Research
Reserve evaluation will be conducted
pursuant to sections 312 and 315 of the
Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972,
as amended, (CZMA) and regulations at
15 CFR part 921, subpart E and part 923,
subpart L. The CZMA requires
continuing review of the performance of
states with respect to coastal program
implementation. Evaluation of a
National Estuarine Research Reserve
requires findings concerning the extent
to which a state has met the national
objectives, adhered to its Reserve final
management plan approved by the
Secretary of Commerce, and adhered to
the terms of financial assistance awards
funded under the CZMA.
The evaluation will include a site
visit, consideration of public comments,
and consultations with interested
Federal, state and local agencies and
members of the public. A public
meeting will be held as part of the site
visit.
Notice is hereby given of the date of
the site visit for the listed evaluation,
and the date, local time, and location of
the public meeting during the site visit.
The Tijuana River National Estuarine
Research Reserve evaluation site visit
will be held September 13–16, 2005.
One public meeting will be held during
the week. The public meeting will be
held on Wednesday, September 14,
2005, at 7 p.m. at the Community Room,

Section 5 of the International Air
Transportation Fair Competitive
Practices Act of 1974 (49 U.S.C. 1517)
(Fly America Act) requires that all
Federal agencies and Government
contractors and subcontractors use U.S.flag air carriers for U.S. Governmentfinanced international air transportation
of personnel (and their personal effects)
or property, to the extent that service by
those carriers is available. It requires the
Comptroller General of the United
States, in the absence of satisfactory
proof of the necessity for foreign-flag air
transportation, to disallow expenditures
from funds, appropriated or otherwise
established for the account of the United
States, for international air
transportation secured aboard a foreignflag air carrier if an U.S.-flag carrier is
available to provide such services. In
the event that the contractor selects a
carrier other than an U.S.-flag air carrier
for international air transportation, the
contractor shall include a certification
on vouchers involving such
transportation. The contracting officer
uses the information furnished in the
certification to determine whether
adequate justification exists for the
contractor’s use of other than an U.S.flag air carrier.
