Ms. McGuire requests a 5-year permit to conduct research on endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas), in Cook Inlet, AK. The purpose of the research is to (1) continue to build and maintain the species’ photoidentification catalog, (2) describe the population’s characteristics, and (3) determine life history characteristics of the species. Research may result in up to 6,800 annual takes of whales by Level B harassment during vessel surveys for observation, photography, and photoidentification. Up to 100 harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) annually could be incidentally disturbed during surveys. 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.
