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 eight
cetacean species, including endangered
blue (Balaenoptera musculus), fin (B.
physalus), sei (B. borealis), and
Southern right (Eubalaena australis)
whales, in the Southern Ocean for five
years. The primary objectives are to
understand population demography,
health, behavior, and ecology of whales.
Animals would be approached during
vessel and aerial surveys for: Passive
acoustic recordings, counts, observation,
photo-identification, photogrammetry,
biopsy sampling, sloughed skin
collection, tagging (suction-cup, dart, or
implantable), tracking, and/or incidental
harassment. Biological samples would
be imported into the United States. See
the application for complete numbers of
animals requested by species and
procedure.
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.
