SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

et seq.), the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR 222–226), and the Fur Seal Act of
1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et

The applicant proposes to obtain
samples from up to 50 animals annually
of each of the following species: Harp

Halichoerus grypus; bearded seal,
Erignathus barbatus; ringed seal, Phoca

proposes to import samples annually
from up to 6 captive Northern fur seals,

Samples will be from animals taken for
subsistence harvest in Alaska, and taken
