SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 10, 2007, notice was
published in the Federal Register (72
FR 51621) that an amendment of Permit
No. 1034–1854, had been requested by
the above-named individual. The
requested amendment has been granted
under the authority of the Marine
Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and
the regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216).
The permit amendment authorizes the
permit holder to (1) increase the number
of blood samples taken from animals
with Evans blue dye administered; (2)
leave satellite data transmitters on adult
females until they fall off during the
annual molt, rather than removing them
at the end of the field season; and (3)
opportunistically attach satellite
transmitters to selected adult females
older than 21 years when first
encountered, for subsequent recapture,
sampling, and outfitting with remaining
telemetry devices. The permit holder is
also authorized to collect opportunistic
fecal samples and import them into the
U.S..
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
