DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Hapeman or Sara Young, (301) 427–8401. RIN 0648–XH081 The subject permit is requested under the 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.); and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR parts 222–226). The applicant proposes to study 42 cetacean species or stocks in the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, and Gulf of Mexico for five years. The primary objectives are to (1) develop improved methods for determining baseline data on cetaceans, and in particular how sound may be used to study cetacean behavior, and (2) assess the potential effects of human impacts on cetacean behavior including anthropogenic noise and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Cetaceans would be approached during surveys from vessel and aerial platforms for the following procedures: Passive acoustic recordings, counts, observation, photo-identification, photogrammetry, biopsy or skin swabbing, sloughed skin collection, fecal sampling, and/or suction-cup tagging and subsequent tracking. 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. jspears on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dated: June 28, 2019.
