authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 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 222–226), and the Fur Seal Act of
1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et

The applicant proposes to receive,
import, and export biological samples
from up to 5,000 cetaceans and 1,000
pinnipeds (excluding walrus) annually
for scientific research, curation, and
education. Receipt, import, and export

samples may include marine mammal
strandings in foreign countries, foreign

captive animals, other authorized
researchers or curated collections, and
marine mammals that died incidental to
commercial fishing operations in the
U.S. and foreign countries, where such
take is legal. The requested duration of
the permit is 5 years.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
