the taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226).
The applicant proposes to take
cetaceans during vessel surveys for the
Soundwatch Boater Education program
in the in-land waters of Washington to
evaluate vessel regulations and
guidelines, characterize vessel trends,
and prevent vessel disturbances to
marine mammals. The primary target
species are Southern Resident and
transient killer whales (Orcinus orca),
but additional cetaceans may include
fin (Balaenoptera physalus), gray
(Eschrichtius robustus), humpback
(Megaptera novaeangliae), and minke
(B. acutorostrata) whales, Dall’s
(Phocoenoides dalli) and harbor
(Phocoena phocoena) porpoises, and
Pacific white-sided dolphins
(Lagenorhynchus obliquidens). Research
activities would include photography,
video recording, photo-identification,
behavioral observations, and incidental
harassment. Take numbers would
include up to 100 whales of each killer
whale stock, and up to 20 individuals
each of all other cetacean species,
annually. Five species of non-listed
pinnipeds may be harassed incidental to
research activities. Please see the take
table for complete list of take numbers
by species. The permit would be 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.), an initial
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of the
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
