Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 61 / Wednesday, March 31, 2010 / Notices
The
subject permit is requested 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 applicant requests authorization
to import one male adult beluga whale
from the Vancouver Aquarium Marine
Science Center, British Columbia,
Canada to Sea World of Texas. The
applicant requests this import for the
purpose of public display. The receiving
facility, Sea World of Texas, 10500
SeaWorld Drive, San Antonio, TX 78251
is: (1) open to the public on regularly
scheduled basis with access that is not
limited or restricted other than by
charging for an admission fee; (2) offers
an educational program based on
professionally accepted standards of the
Association of Zoos and Aquariums and
the Alliance for Marine Mammal Parks
and Aquariums; and (3) holds an
Exhibitor’s License, number 58–C–0077,
issued by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture under the Animal Welfare
Act (7 U.S.C. §§ 2131 - 59).
In addition to determining whether
the applicant meets the three public
display criteria, NMFS must determine
whether the applicant has demonstrated
that the proposed activity is humane
and does not represent any unnecessary
risks to the health and welfare of marine
mammals; that the proposed activity by
itself, or in combination with other
activities, will not likely have a
significant adverse impact on the
species or stock; and that the applicant’s
expertise, facilities and resources are
adequate to accomplish successfully the
objectives and activities stated in the
application.
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.
