On April
9, 2008, notice was published in the
Federal Register (73 FR 19194) that a
request to amend Permit No. 10014 had
been submitted by the above-named
organization. The requested permit
amendment has been issued under the
authority of the 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
NJDEP to take up to 2,500 common
dolphins (Delphinus delphis), 3,200
bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops
truncatus), and 1,280 harbor porpoises
(Phocoena phocoena) annually through
December 31, 2012. The study area
would continue to include U.S. waters
offshore of southern New Jersey out to
a distance of 20 nautical miles.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an environmental
assessment was prepared analyzing the
effects of the permitted activities. After
a Finding of No Significant Impact, the
determination was made that it was not
necessary to prepare an environmental
impact statement.
Issuance of this permit amendment
was based on a finding that it is
consistent with the purposes and
policies of the MMPA and ESA. It is
believed that the research will further a
bona fide scientific purpose and does
not involve unnecessary duplication.
