Prior notice and an opportunity for
public comment are not required by the
Administrative Procedure Act or any
other law for rules concerning public
property, loans, grants, benefits, and
contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)). Because
notice and opportunity for comment are
not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or
any other law, the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are
inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory

The
subject permits are requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and the
Regulations Governing the Taking and
Importing of Marine Mammals (50 CFR
part 216).
File No. 1070–1783: The applicant
requests a five-year permit to study
temporal and spatial variation in
numbers and diet composition of harbor
seals (Phoca vitulina) in southern
Padilla Bay, Washington to determine
responses of harbor seals to changes in
prey density and the impact of seal
behavior on marine protected areas.
Fecal samples would be collected from
rookeries and haul-out sites for dietary
analyses and seals would be counted
during aerial and vessel surveys. The
applicant requests to harass seals from
the Washington Inland Waters Stock
during the study. The estimated
minimum number of harbor seals in this
stock is 12,844 seals.
File No. 1075–1788: The applicant
requests a two-year permit to
characterize the ontogenetic changes in
skeletal muscle physiology in newly
weaned, subadult, and adult Weddell
seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) in the
Antarctic and determine the molecular
controls that regulate these changes. The
applicant proposes to capture 15 adult,
15 juvenile, and 10 weaned pups
annually to collect small muscle biopsy
samples from the swimming muscles to
identify the proteins and transcription
factors that regulate the changes in
myoglobin concentration, fiber type
distribution and aerobic capacity. These
results are expected to increase
understanding of the ontogeny and
molecular mechanisms by which young
seals acquire the physiological
adaptations necessary to become
competent divers and marine predators.
The applicant also requests
authorization for the research-related
mortality of up to two seals per year if
complications should arise during
sedation and handling.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of these
applications to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
