The request should set forth the specific reasons why a hearing on this application would be appropriate. Erin Markin or Amy Hapeman, (301) 427– 8401. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The subject permit is requested 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). The Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center proposes to continue sea turtle research in the Chesapeake Bay and mid-Atlantic Ocean to enhance conservation and management of sea turtles in estuarine and marine waters. Specific research objectives are to (1) study the behavior, distribution, health, and nutrition and compare the relative abundance of green, Kemp’s ridley, and loggerhead sea turtles in the Chesapeake Bay, Long Island Sound, and U.S. midAtlantic waters; and (2) investigate the survival and behavior of green, loggerhead, and Kemp’s ridley sea turtles affected by human activities in the study area. Annually, up to 30 green, 30 Kemp’s ridley, and 30 loggerhead sea turtles would be captured (hand, dip, tangle, or pound nets, or capture under another authority), biologically sampled (blood, tissue), and tagged (passive integrated transponder (PIT), flipper, and acoustic or satellite transmitters (by epoxy or drilling the carapace)), measured, weighed, and photographed. One leatherback sea turtle may be opportunistically taken during research and would receive a temporary carapace mark, PIT tag, and flipper tags as well as be blood sampled, measured, and photographed. The permit would be valid for 10 years. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dated: June 13, 2018.
