which compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
Assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions

On August
24, 2012, notice was published in the
Federal Register (77 FR 51519) that a
request for a commercial/educational
photography permit to take bottlenose
dolphins had been submitted by the
above-named applicant. The requested
permit 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).
Section 104(c)(6) provides for
photography for educational or
commercial purposes involving nonendangered and non-threatened marine
mammals in the wild.
Mr. Pilley is authorized to film
bottlenose dolphin strand feeding
events in the estuaries and creeks of
Bull Creek and around Hilton Head,
South Carolina, and mud plume feeding
events in the waters of the Florida Keys.
Filmmakers may use filming platforms
such as: a static, remotely-operated
camera placed on the mudflats, a radiocontrolled camera helicopter, and a
radio-controlled camera boat. For both
locations combined, up to 196 dolphins
annually may be approached and
filmed. Filming may occur over 14 days
in each location. Footage would be used
in two wildlife education
documentaries: ‘‘Earthflight 3D’’, and
‘‘Dolphins-Spy in the Pod’’, both for the
British Broadcasting Corporation and
Discovery Channel. The permit will
expire five years from the date of
issuance.
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.
