kempii), and loggerhead (Caretta
caretta) sea turtles had been submitted
by Allen Foley [File No. 14622]. The
requested permits have been issued
under the following authorities as
applicable: 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). Scott Kraus, Ph.D.
[File No. 15415], New England
Aquarium Edgerton Research
Laboratory, Central Wharf, Boston, MA
02110, was issued a three-year permit to
study North Atlantic right whales along
the U.S. East Coast from New York
Harbor to the Maine-Canada border. Dr.
Kraus is authorized to conduct control
and experimental visual trials to
determine if right whales are responsive
to various color and light
characteristics. Dr. Kraus is authorized
to closely approach whales by vessel for
photo-identification, observation, and
monitoring during trials. The research
would seek to determine whether the
sensory and behavioral capabilities of
right whales can be used to avoid
entanglements at depth and in
conditions of poor visibility.
Allen Foley [File No. 14622], Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission, Fish and Wildlife
Research Institute, 370 Zoo Parkway,
Jacksonville, FL 32218, was issued a
five-year permit to: (1) Monitor the
abundance of loggerhead and green sea
turtles; (2) characterize the aggregations
of loggerhead, Kemp’s ridley, and
hawksbill sea turtles; and (3) determine
the movements, behaviors, habitat-use,
and reproductive status of loggerhead
sea turtles in Florida Bay and the
Everglades National Park. Researchers
are authorized to approach green sea
turtles during non-linear transect
surveys and hand capture loggerhead,
Kemp’s ridley, and hawksbill sea turtles
during capture-mark-recapture studies.
Captured turtles would be examined,
measured, photographed, weighed,
flipper tagged, passive integrated
transponder tagged, marked with paint,
and blood sampled to determine and
monitor sex ratios, genetic identities,
health and reproductive status, growth,
and subsequent movements and
behaviors. A subset of animals would
receive: skin and carapace sampling, a
satellite transmitter attachment,
ultrasound and/or laparoscopy and
organ sampling before release.

In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), environmental
assessments (EAs) were prepared
analyzing the effects of the permitted
activities on the human environment.
Based on the analyses in the EAs, NMFS
determined that issuance of the permits
would not significantly impact the
quality of the human environment and
that preparation of an environmental
impact statement was not required. That
determination is documented in
Findings of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) for these actions.
As required by the ESA, issuance of
the permits were based on a finding that
such permits: (1) Were applied for in
good faith; (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered
species; and (3) are consistent with the
purposes and policies set forth in
section 2 of the ESA.
