SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions,
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
Highly Migratory Species Management
Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include:
data collectors and database managers;
stock assessment scientists, biologists,
and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion at the Review
Workshop are as follows:
• Review the stock assessment report
and determine if it is scientifically
sound.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.), and the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216).
Mystic Aquarium requests to import
five (5) captive-born beluga whales from
Marineland of Canada (Niagara Falls,
Ontario, Canada) to Mystic Aquarium
(Mystic, Connecticut, U.S.A.) for
scientific research purposes to
contribute knowledge and inform
management and recovery of beluga
populations in the wild, including the
depleted Sakhalin Bay-Nikolaya BayAmur River beluga whale stock and the
endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale
distinct population segment. The
subject beluga whales were born at
Marineland of Canada and are progeny
of beluga whales that originated from
the depleted Sakhalin Bay-Nikolaya
Bay-Amur River stock (81 FR 74711).
The proposed research would occur
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
year-round at Mystic Aquarium or
Georgia Aquarium (Atlanta, Georgia,
U.S.A.) and includes investigations on
(1) the neuroimmunological response to
environmental and anthropogenic
stressors; (2) the development of novel
non-invasive techniques to assess health
in free-ranging and stranded beluga
whales; (3) the hearing and
physiological response to anthropogenic
sound; (4) morphometrics to inform
photogrammetry studies; (5) diving
physiology; (6) microbiome; (7) behavior
and reproduction; and 8) testing of
prototype telemetry devices and
cameras before deployment on wild
beluga whales.
To accomplish these objectives,
researchers would conduct the
following procedures on the five whales
using trained behaviors and voluntary
participation: biological sampling
(blood, exhalate, saliva, swabs, feces,
skin scrapes); auditory evoked potential
measurements (baseline audiograms and
masked hearing sessions);
photogrammetry (measurements,
weight, photography/video); behavioral
observations; ultrasound; and
deployment of suction-cup attached
devices. The whales would be placed on
public display incidental to the
proposed research. The requested
duration of the permit is five years, the
maximum duration of an MMPA permit.
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 a copy of the
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
