under the authority of 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).
The NOS Lab (File No. 17557) has
been issued a permit to receive, import,
export, transfer, archive, and conduct
analyses on an unlimited number of
marine mammal and endangered
species parts. Species include all
cetaceans, pinnipeds (except for
walrus), sea turtles (in the water),
smalltooth (Pristis pectinata) and
largetooth (P. perotteti) sawfish,
shortnose (Acipenser brevirostrum),
green (A. medirostris), Atlantic (A.
oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) and Gulf (A.
oxyrinchus desotoi) sturgeon, black
(Haliotis cracherodii) and white (H.
sorenseni) abalone, chinook
(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), chum (O.
keta), coho (O. kisutch) and sockeye (O.
nerka) salmon, steelhead trout (O.
mykiss), and totoaba (Totoaba
macdonaldi). Samples would be
archived at the NOS Lab and used to
support law enforcement actions,
research studies (primarily genetics),
and outreach education. No live takes
from the wild would be authorized. The
permit is valid for five years from the
date of issuance.
The NOAA Fisheries Northeast
Region (File No. 17273) has been issued
a permit to collect, receive and transport
100 dead shortnose and 100 dead
Atlantic sturgeon, or parts thereof,
annually. Researchers also request
authorization for the receipt and

shortnose sturgeon and up to 75 dead,
captive bred Atlantic sturgeon annually

captive sturgeon. The applicant requests
authorization for the receipt,
importation, exportation, transfer,
archive and analysis of Atlantic and
shortnose sturgeon parts and carcasses.
Sturgeon samples would be obtained
from individuals authorized to collect
them in the course of scientific research,
salvage activities, or taken during other
authorized activities. Sturgeon parts and
samples would be used to support law
enforcement actions, research studies
(primarily genetics), and outreach
education. The permit is valid for five
years from the date of issuance.
Issuance of these permits, as required
by the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permits (1) were applied for in
good faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) are
consistent with the purposes and
