SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 15, 2007, notice was published
in the Federal Register (72 FR 7420)
that a request for a scientific research
permit and permit amendment to take
the species identified above had been
submitted by the above-named
institutions, respectively. The requested
permit and permit amendment have
been issued 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.), the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR 222–226), and the Fur Seal Act of
1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et
seq.), as applicable.
Permit No. 715–1883 issued to
NPUMMRC authorizes the capture in
Alaska and export to Canada of up to 6
female juvenile fur seals for captive
research on nutritional physiology.
Permit Amendment No. 881–1745–02
authorizes captive breeding and
research on captive Steller sea lions
held at the ASLC related to studies on
the physiology of gestation and
lactation. This is in addition to already
permitted studies, which include
condition assessments, endocrinology
and immunology studies, metabolism
studies, and studies of foraging
behavior.
The permit and permit amendment
are valid through August 1, 2009, and
contain requirements for coordination
and monitoring of research as well as
mitigation measures deemed
appropriate by NMFS. The permit and

permit amendment cannot be amended
or extended.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS)
for Steller Sea Lion and Northern Fur
Seal Research was prepared to evaluate
the potential environmental impacts of
awarding grants and issuing permits to
facilitate research on these species.
Information about the PEIS is available
at https://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/
permits/eis/steller.htm.
Issuance of the permit to the ASLC, as
required by the ESA, was based on a
finding that the permit: (1) was applied
for in good faith; (2) will not operate to
the disadvantage of such endangered
species; and (3) is consistent with the
purposes and policies set forth in
section 2 of the ESA.
