taking and importing of marine
mammals (50 CFR part 216), the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as

fur seals, Callorhinus ursinus; and 6
captive Steller Sea lions, Eumetopias
jubatus. Samples may be from
subsistence-harvested animals in
Alaska, and other scientific and/or
subsistence collections including but
not limited to the national waters of
Canada, Norway, the United Kingdom,
and in international waters. Samples
may be collected, received nationally,
and imported and exported worldwide

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

prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
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
