ACTION: Issuance of permit.
AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that
NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Office
(PIRO), 1601 Kapiolani Boulevard, Suite
1110, Honolulu, HI 96814 [Responsible
Party: Michael Tosatto], has been issued
a permit to take hawksbill
(Eretmochelys imbricata), olive ridley
(Lepidochelys olivacea), leatherback
(Dermochelys imbricata), loggerhead
(Caretta caretta) and green (Chelonia
mydas) sea turtles for purposes of
scientific research.
ADDRESSES: The permit and related
documents are available for review
upon written request or by appointment
in the Permits and Conservation
Division, Office of Protected Resources,
NMFS, 1315 East-West Highway, Room

FR 56573) that a request for a scientific

research permit to take hawksbill, olive
ridley, leatherback, loggerhead and
green sea turtles had been submitted by
the above-named organization. The
requested permit has been issued 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).
NMFS PIRO has been issued a fiveyear research permit to conduct research
on sea turtles bycaught in three longline
fisheries in the Pacific Ocean around
Hawaii and American Samoa to assess
sea turtle post-hooking survival,
movements, and ecology in pelagic
habitats. The permit authorizes
examination, morphometrics, biological
sampling, and tagging of live sea turtles
and the collection of carcasses, tissues
and parts from dead sea turtles.
Authorized take numbers for these
activities are consistent with the
number of turtle captures analyzed in
the incidental take statement of the
biological opinion prepared for each
fishery.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.
