SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 16, 2011, notice was
published in the Federal Register (76
FR 78242) that a request for an
amendment to Permit No. 14241–02 to
conduct research on marine mammals
had been submitted by the above-named
applicant. 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.), and the regulations
governing the taking and importing of
marine mammals (50 CFR part 216).
The permit has been amended to
include (1) adding waters off Florida to
the project for tagging to study risks of
entanglement in mid-Atlantic states; (2)
one new species, Atlantic spotted
dolphin (Stenella frontalis), for field
work in waters off Florida, Georgia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Virginia; (3) a new project to Dtag the
following species in waters off the west
coast of North America: Baird’s beaked
whale (Berardius bairdii), Cuvier’s
beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris),
Risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus),
killer whale (Orcinus orca) and
Mesoplodont beaked whales
(Mesoplodon spp); (4) a new procedure
for marking cetaceans with zinc oxide;
(5) satellite tagging to long-finned pilot
whales in approaches to the
Mediterranean; and (6) switching some
of the playback takes initially located in
the Mediterranean and eastern North
Atlantic to the same stocks of longfinned (Globicephala melas) and shortfinned (G. macrorhynchus) pilot whales
off Cape Hatteras. The amendment is
valid through the original expiration
date of the permit, July 31, 2014.
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.
