Jennifer Skidmore or Amy Sloan,
(301)713–2289.
The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 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.).
The applicant is requesting
authorization for the receipt, import and
export of teeth and prepared microscope
slides obtained from seal and sea lion
species, expect walrus (Order
Pinnipedia). The Matson Laboratory
provides age related data to researchers
and biologists. Age data are used in
population modeling, with age structure
an indicator of population condition.
Teeth are sent to the laboratory for
cementum age analysis. The number of
teeth varies depending upon the nature
of the project, from a single tooth to
several hundred from a legal harvest; no
more than 2000 teeth will be analyzed
annually. Import and export authority is
requested for all locations wherever
pinnipeds occur and are the subject of
government-authorized research and/or
harvest. Principally, these locations are
expected to be those within the
jurisdiction of the Government of
Canada. There will be no incidental
takes of non-target species. A permit is
requested for five years.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of this
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
