SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
20, 2010, notice was published in the
Federal Register (75 FR 28236) that a
request for an amendment Permit No.
13602 to conduct research on captive
and rehabilitating threatened and
endangered marine mammals had been
submitted by the above-named
applicant. On December 8, 2010, notice
was published in the Federal Register
(75 FR 76399) that changes to the
application were requested.
The requested permit amendment has
been issued under the authority of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), and the regulations governing
the taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226).
The permit holder is authorized to
conduct physiological research on
captive Hawaiian monk seals
(Monachus schauinslandi) in facilities
in the United States, and opportunistic
energetic assessments on stranded ESAlisted marine mammals under NMFS
jurisdiction undergoing rehabilitation in
California, using methods currently
approved in Permit No. 13602. In
addition to the energetic assessments,
the following research is authorized on
captive Hawaiian monk seals:
Deuterium oxide and Evan’s blue
administration, blood sampling, blubber
ultrasound; and administration of
thyroid stimulating hormone and fecal
sampling. The amendment has been
issued for the duration of the permit.
An environmental assessment (EA)
analyzing the effects of the permitted
activities on the human environment
was prepared in compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Based on
the analyses in the EA, NMFS
determined that issuance of the permit
would not significantly impact the
quality of the human environment and
that preparation of an environmental
impact statement was not required. That
VerDate Mar<15>2010

determination is documented in a
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI).
As required by the ESA, issuance of
this permit was based on a finding that
such permit: (1) Was applied for in good
faith; (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered
species; and (3) is consistent with the
purposes and policies set forth in
section 2 of the ESA.
authorizes the permit holder to conduct
hearing measurements on stranded
whales and dolphins in the U.S. through
February 28, 2011. The minor
amendment (No. 978–1791–01) extends
the duration of the permit through
February 28, 2012, but does not: Change
the manner in which animals may be
taken, increase the number of animals
authorized to be taken, or add new
species or geographic locations.
