regulations governing the taking and

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216).
The applicant requests a 5-year permit
to study sub-ice navigation and
orientation of Weddell seals in the area
around Ross Island, McMurdo Sound,
Antarctica. The purpose of the study is
to understand key sensory modalities
used for locating breathing holes in the
sea ice and to address the overarching
questions: Do Weddell seals possess a
magnetic sense, and do they use it to
sense Earth’s geomagnetic field for
navigating under sea ice over small
spatial scales? In each of three annual
field seasons (3 months during JulyDecember across a 5-year project), up to
12 seals will be captured, sedated,
weighed, measured, and have
ultrasound and metabolic measurements
taken. Eight of those 12 animals will
also be instrumented and translocated
within their home range. Up to 20
Weddell seals may be incidentally
disturbed and up to two Weddell seals
may die during research activities
during each of the three annual field
seasons. Samples may be imported to
the U.S. from Antarctica.
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.
