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.), and the regulations governing
the taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222-226).
Permit No. 16193, issued on August
28, 2012, authorizes the permit holder
to receive, import, and export cetacean
and pinniped specimens to study
reproductive physiology, including
endocrinology, gamete biology, and
cryophysiology. Permit No. 16193-01
amends the authorization to include
unlimited samples from up to 300 wild
Amazon River dolphins (Inia
geoffrensis) annually.
Permit No. 17157, issued on July 18,
2012, and amended on November 7,
2014, authorizes the receipt, import and
export of up to 25 earplugs annually of
each of the following species of whale:
blue (Balaenoptera musculus), sei (B.
borealis), minke (B. acutorostrata),
humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae),
gray (Eschrichtius robustus), bowhead
(Balaena mysticetus), fin (B. physalus),
and sperm (Physeter macrocephalus).
The samples may be obtained from
natural history museums as well as from
collections in Barrow, Alaska, of
bowhead whale subsistence harvests.
Permit No. 17157–02 authorizes an
increase in the number of animals that
samples that may be received, imported,
and exported from 25 to 100 individuals
annually. In addition, the permit has
been amended to authorize the receipt,
import, and export of baleen samples
from blue and fin whales.
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.
