SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216).
Permit No. 15324, issued on May 18,
2011 (76 FR 30309), authorizes the
permit holder to take spotted (Phoca
largha), ringed (Phoca hispida), bearded
(Erignathus barbatus), and ribbon seals
(Histriophoca fasciata) for scientific
research purposes in the Bering,
Chukchi, and Beaufort seas of Alaska.
The purpose of this research is to
monitor the status and health of each
species by analyzing biological samples
(e.g., blood, blubber, skin, muscle, and
whiskers) from the subsistence harvest
and live captured seals, and by
documenting movements and habitat
use by tracking animals with satellite
transmitters. The permit holder is also
authorized to harass non-target seals of
each species and for a limited number
of research-related mortalities.
Additional biological samples can be
imported from Russia, Canada, Svalbard
(Norway) and exported to Canada for
analyses. The permit is valid through
December 31, 2016.
The permit holder is requesting the
permit be amended to include
authorization for several methodological
changes: (1) Adding takes by harassment
during aerial and vessel surveys as a
method to monitor seal distribution
relative to changes in sea ice; (2)
increasing number of takes by incidental
harassment during seal captures; (3) the
use of additional sedative drugs as
injectable immobilizing agents during
currently permitted capture activities;
and (4) the use of remote dart-delivery
as a method for capturing bearded seals.
The expiration date of the permit would
not change.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the

activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of the
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
Dated: April 1, 2014.
