Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 8, 2014 / Notices
This proposed program would restrict
its focus on Alaska pinnipeds under the
statutory jurisdiction of NMFS (seals
and sea lions); proposals focusing on
marine mammals under the jurisdiction
of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
would not be eligible.
The objectives of a potential Alaska
Pinniped Research Program would
include: 1) Supporting effective
conservation and management of seals,
sea lions, and Northern fur seals in
waters off Alaska; and 2) Implementing
high-priority research objectives or
address species conservation priorities
specified in a NMFS recovery plan,
conservations plan, research plans
(including those developed with Alaska
Native co-management organizations),
or post-delisting monitoring plans (for
copies of these plans see ADDRESSES).
This is not a notice of availability of
grant funds; moreover, any future
funding is contingent on availability of
funds. NMFS is seeking input on
specific program priorities that might be
considered for inclusion in an annual
Alaska Pinniped Research Program that
addresses the above-stated objectives. If
NMFS proceeds with such a program,
NMFS will issue a Federal Funding
Opportunity notice to solicit
applications for grants to address the
selected priorities.
Dated: October 2, 2014.

Deputy Director, Office of Protected
Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
