SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July
28, 2015, notice was published in the
Federal Register (80 FR 44938) that a
request for a scientific research permit
had been submitted by the above-named
applicant. The requested permit has
been issued under the authority of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226), and the Fur Seal
Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151
et seq.).
The permit authorizes research
activities to compare the energetic and
cardiovascular responses and diving
physiology of odontocetes and
pinnipeds to determine key
physiological factors including captive
bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops
truncatus) and temporarily held nonSUMMARY:

releasable Hawaiian monk seals
(Neomonachus schauinslandi) at Long
Marine Lab. Additional captive marine
mammals may be added through
cooperative agreements with accredited
zoological institutions in the U.S. Other
species from rehabilitation and
stranding programs in the U.S. may be
added opportunistically. The permit is
valid for five years from the date of
issuance.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
As required by the ESA, issuance of
this permit 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
species; and (3) is consistent with the
purposes and policies set forth in
section 2 of the ESA.
Dated: September 15, 2015.
