Abstract Under Section 101(b) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361– 1407), Alaska Natives residing in Alaska and dwelling on the coast of the North Pacific or Arctic Ocean may harvest polar bears, northern sea otters, and Pacific walrus for subsistence or handicraft purposes. Section 109(i) of the MMPA authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to prescribe marking, tagging, and reporting regulations applicable to the Alaska Native subsistence and handicraft take. On behalf of the Secretary, we implemented regulations at 50 CFR 18.23(f) for Alaska Natives harvesting polar bear, northern sea otter, and Pacific walrus. These regulations enable us to gather data on the Alaska Native subsistence and handicraft harvest and on the biology of polar bear, northern sea otter, and Pacific walrus in Alaska to determine what effect such take may be having on these populations. The regulations also provide us with a means of monitoring the disposition of the harvest to ensure that any commercial use of products created from these species meets the criteria set forth in Section 101(b) of the MMPA. The information we collect includes, but is not limited to: (1) Date of kill. (2) Sex of the animal. (3) Kill location. (4) Form of transportation used to make the kill of polar bears. (5) Amount of time (i.e., hours/days hunted) spent hunting polar bears. (6) Type of take (live killed or beach found) for walrus. (7) Number of otters present in and number of otters harvested from pod. (8) Condition of the bear and whether or not polar bear cubs were present. (9) Name of the hunter or possessor of the specified parts at the time of marking, tagging, and reporting. II. Data OMB Control Number: 1018–0066.
