Electroshock Weapons Measurement Methods and Issues Public Meeting, 49859 [E9-23461]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 29, 2009 / Notices is authorized to fix a remotely operated video camera in an underwater housing to the sea floor approximately 15 feet from the carcass. The camera is deployed after the killer whales have left the carcass and is controlled from a boat approximately 100 yards away. In addition, if killer whales, gray whales, or minke whales pass near the boat, the holder may submerge a small camera on a pole to take photographs of passing animals. Filming activities may occur between April 1 and August 31 of each year. The permit expires March 31, 2010. The permit holder is requesting to extend the permit until March 31, 2012. Since the original permit was issued for three years, the proposed amendment would make the permit effective for five years. Funding constraints have prevented the permit holder from using the permit thus far and the extension would allow the project to be completed. No changes to the objectives, species, location, or methodologies would occur. The amended permit would authorize the same level of take for the two additional years as is currently authorized. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial determination has been made that the activity proposed is categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement. 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.
