SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject modification to Permit No. 1557, issued on June 21, 2006 (71 FR 36520) is requested under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR 222– 226). Permit No. 1557 authorizes the permit holder to investigate leatherback sea turtle regional behavior and movements in near-shore waters off the eastern United States and to identify their dispersal in relation to oceanographic conditions and fishing activities. The research will also help establish baseline health assessments, genetic identities, sex ratios, and stable isotope composition of leatherback sea turtle tissues and prey. Researchers are authorized to conduct research on up to 12 leatherback sea turtles annually that have been disentangled from fishing DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24565 gear by the stranding network or that researchers have captured using a breakaway hoop net. Turtles are measured, weighed, photographed and video taped, flipper and passive integrated transponder (PIT) tagged, blood sampled, cloacal swabbed, nasal swabbed, skin sampled, tagged with electronic instruments, and released. The research permit was issued for 5 years. The permit holder currently requests authorization to take an additional eight leatherbacks per year. Turtles would be measured, weighed, photographed and video taped, flipper and PIT tagged, blood sampled, cloacal swabbed, nasal swabbed, skin sampled. The researchers propose to attach satellite-linked data recorders to the turtle’s carapace and to feed stomach temperature pills to the animals. These pills would record stomach temperatures and transmit them to the satellite-linked data recorder for transmission to the researchers. This research would help researchers better understand where, when, and under what environmental conditions leatherback sea turtles forage so as to better predict their movements. This information would be used to help predict leatherback movements and potential interactions with fisheries and other human activities to allow resource managers to design management strategies to protect this species.
