SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 8, 2009, notice was published
in the Federal Register (74 FR 64686)
that a request for an amendment to
Permit No. 555–1870–00 to conduct
research on harbor seals (Phoca vitulina)
had been submitted by the above-named
applicant. One project in the requested
permit amendment (increasing the
number of animals taken in the wild)
has been issued and another project in
the requested amendment (temporary
captivity of wild seals) has been denied
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 (Permit No.
555–1870–01) authorizes an increase in
the number of harbor seal pups taken
annually in California by capture,
sedation, tagging, and sampling from 40
seals (20 males and 20 females) to 70
seals (35 males and 35 females). The
request to bring up to six seals into
temporary captivity for a pilot study to
assess the efficacy of a modified
sedation protocol for the surgical
implantation of subcutaneous tag
implants was denied. The facility
proposed did not meet minimum
standards for space as required by
Animal Welfare Act regulations for the
humane handling, care and treatment of
marine mammals. Therefore, the
applicant could not demonstrate that
the activity proposed was humane and
did not present any unnecessary risks to
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
the health and welfare of the marine
mammals (50 CFR 216.34(1)(a)).
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.
Dated: February 24, 2010.
