listening stations in La Jolla, CA, Santa
Cruz, CA, Seattle, WA or Newport, OR,
members of the general public who are
not National Marine Fisheries Service
employees need to provide photo
identification. Foreign nationals, where
a foreign national is an individual who
is not a citizen of the United States, not
a legal permanent resident (meaning not
a ‘‘permanent resident alien’’ or ‘‘Green
Card’’ holder), and not a ‘‘protected

as by participants who have preregistered and are listening from remote
locations.
The specific objectives of the SWFSC
Pre-Assessment Workshop webinar are
to: (1) Present and describe data that
may be included in the stock assessment
modeling for Pacific sanddab and
cowcod; (2) discuss the interpretation of
data given historical and current fishing
practices and changes in fishing
regulations; (3) discuss approaches for
improving stock assessment modeling
efforts; and (4) identify data gaps and
future research possibilities. No
management actions will be decided in
this workshop.
All visitors to the National Marine
Fisheries Service science centers should
bring photo identification to the meeting
location. Visitors who are foreign
nationals (defined as a person who is
not a citizen or national of the United
States) will require additional security
clearance to access the NOAA facilities.
Foreign national visitors should contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject modification to Permit No.
15661, issued on January 24, 2012 (77
FR 13097) is requested under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) and the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR 222–226).
Permit No. 15661 authorizes the
permit holder to characterize population
structure, size class composition,
foraging ecology, and migration patterns
for green (Chelonia mydas) and
hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) sea
turtles in the Northern Mariana Islands
(NMI). Authorized research consists of
counts and hand captures of sea turtles
during vessel surveys. Captured sea
turtles may be measured, weighed,
flipper and passive integrated
transponder tagged, temporarily
marked, tissue sampled, photographed
and released. A subset of the turtles may
be satellite tagged before release and
then tracked from the vessel. Sea turtle
carcasses, tissues or parts may be
opportunistically salvaged each year.
The permit holder now requests
authorization to collect blood and scute
samples from up to 20 green and 20
hawksbill sea turtles per year, a subset
of those currently authorized for
capture. This sampling would allow for
analysis of a broad suite of
environmental pollutants that may be
threatening the health of sea turtles in
the NMI. All other research objectives,
capture methods, take numbers, action
areas, and activities would remain
unchanged. The modification would be
