request for an amendment to Permit No.
555–1870–01 to conduct research on
harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) had been
submitted by the above-named
applicant. The amendment has been
issued 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.
555–1870–02) authorizes an increase in
the number of subadult harbor seals
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). Also, a
pilot study is authorized to bring up to
six seals into temporary captivity to
assess the efficacy of a modified
sedation and suture protocol for
implantation of subcutaneous radio tags.
If effective, the modified protocols will
be implemented in the field. The permit
expires April 15, 2012.
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.

Notice and opportunity for
public comment.
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade
Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341 et seq.), the
Economic Development Administration
(EDA) has received petitions for
certification of eligibility to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance from the
firms listed below. EDA has initiated
separate investigations to determine
whether increased imports into the
United States of articles like or directly
competitive with those produced by
each firm contributed importantly to the
total or partial separation of the firm’s
workers, or threat thereof, and to a
decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.
