Notice is hereby given that
Coonamessett Farm Foundation, Inc.,
277 Hatchville Road, East Falmouth,
MA 02536 [Responsible Party: Ronald
Smolowitz], has been issued a permit to
take 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
22, 2014, notice was published in the
Federal Register (79 FR 22479) that a
request for a scientific research permit
to take endangered and threatened sea
turtles has been submitted by the abovenamed 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).
Mr. Smolowitz has been issued a fiveyear permit to continue ongoing
research assessing and reducing sea
turtle bycatch in sea scallop fisheries in
the Mid-Atlantic Bight. The research
will aid in estimating abundance
estimates, evaluating scallop harvesting
strategies to minimize harm to sea
turtles, and defining critical habitat of
loggerhead (Caretta caretta), Kemp’s
ridley (Lepidochelys kempii),
leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), and
green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtles. Sea
turtles may be captured by hoop net,
weighed and measured, blood and
tissue sampled, and tagged with flipper
tags, passive integrated transponders,
and satellite tags. Turtles will also be
tracked and monitored with a remotely
operated vehicle.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
74765
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.
