II. Background
To help us carry out our conservation
responsibilities for affected species, and
in consideration of section 10(c) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
we invite public comments on permit
applications before final action is taken.
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits certain activities with listed
species unless Federal authorization is
issued that allows such activities.
Permits issued under section 10(a)(1)(A)
of the ESA allow otherwise prohibited
activities for scientific purposes or to
enhance the propagation or survival of
the affected species. Service regulations
regarding prohibited activities with
endangered species, captive-bred
wildlife registrations, and permits for
any activity otherwise prohibited by the
ESA with respect to any endangered
species are available in title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations in part 17.

Abstract: Under section 101(b) of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,
as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361–
1407), Alaska Natives residing in Alaska
and dwelling on the coast of the North
Pacific or Arctic Oceans may harvest
polar bears, northern sea otters, and
Pacific walruses for subsistence or
handicraft purposes. Section 109(i) of
the MMPA authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to prescribe marking,
tagging, and reporting regulations
applicable to the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft take.
On behalf of the Secretary, we
implemented regulations at 50 CFR
18.23(f) for Alaska Natives harvesting
polar bears, northern sea otters, and
Pacific walruses. These regulations
enable us to gather data on the Alaska
Native subsistence and handicraft
harvest and on the biology of polar
bears, northern sea otters, and Pacific
walruses in Alaska to determine what
effect such take may be having on these
populations. The regulations also
provide us with a means of monitoring
the disposition of the harvest to ensure
that any commercial use of products
created from these species meets the
criteria set forth in section 101(b) of the
MMPA. We use three forms to collect
the information: FWS Form 3–2414
(Polar Bear Tagging Certificates), FWS
Form 3–2415 (Walrus Tagging
Certificates), and FWS Form 3–2416
(Sea Otter Tagging Certificates). The
information we collect includes, but is
not limited to:
• Date of kill;
• Sex of the animal;
• Kill location;
• Age of the animal (i.e., adult,
subadult, cub, or pup);
• Form of transportation used to
make the kill of polar bears;
• Amount of time (i.e., hours/days
hunted) spent hunting polar bears;
• Type of take (live-killed or beachfound) for walrus;
• Number of otters present in and
number of otters harvested from pod;
• Condition of the polar bear and
whether or not bear cubs were present;
and
• Name of the hunter or possessor of
the specified parts at the time of
marking, tagging, and reporting.
We use FWS Form 3–2406
(Registration of Certain Dead Marine
Mammal Hard Parts) to record the
collection of bones, teeth, or ivory of
dead marine mammals by non-Native
and Natives not eligible to harvest
marine mammals under the MMPA. It is
legal to collect such parts from a beach
or from land within a quarter of a mile
of the ocean (50 CFR 18.26). The
information we collect via Form 3–2406
includes, but is not limited to:

Proposed Changes to Form 3–2414,
‘‘Polar Bear Tagging Certificate’’
With the changing environment, we
are making a few needed changes to the
Form 3–2414. These changes are:
A. Age Class (Five different categories).
B. Bear Condition (Three different
categories).
C. Research Marks/Tags (New
Question).
D. Conflict or Problem Bear? (New
question).
E. Defense of Life (Property removed).
F. Hunter Available for Post Hunt
Interview? (Yes/No). Phone # (New
question).
Post-Interview Questions (if the hunter
agrees):
a. Was there a food source/attractant
that the bear was interested in?
What was the attractant?
b. Was there any attempt to haze the
bear to get it to leave?
c. Was it believed that the bear could
be a threat to people?
NOTE: These are typical post-hunt
questions that would only be asked if the
biologist needed information on a bear that
was marked as a problem bear. There is no
standardized questioning.
G. We removed the ‘‘Time Spent
Hunting’’ and ‘‘Vehicle Use While
Hunting’’ questions, as this
information has not proved
valuable.

to as ‘‘The Invited Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
Sometime prior to 1909, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from Mound,
Madison Parish, LA. Mound was named
for an American Indian mound that
stood at the original town site. In 1909,
the presumed collector, a J.M. Carter,
donated this collection to Baylor
University. J.M. Carter might be James
Michelle Carter (1849–1928), whose
father was a Baylor University Trustee
after the Civil War.
In 2003, the human remains and
associated funerary objects were located
in a cigar box that lay under a whale
skull exhibit. The human remains were
labeled with the numbers 4047 and
4359 through 4389. Catalog number
4047 corresponds to an entry in the
Strecker Catalog Book No. 3, which
reads ‘‘4047 . . .. Bones & Other
Materials from Mound, Louisiana J.M.
Carter.’’ The numbers 4359 through
4389 do not relate to any currently
known catalog. As number 4047 had
been reused, new catalog numbers were
assigned to the human remains and
associated funerary objects. The human
remains (AR 20806) include a phalange,
limb bone, talus, calcaneus fragment,
and two mandible fragments with teeth.
No known individual was identified.
The two associated funerary objects (AR
20849) are one lot of animal bones and
one pottery sherd.
Determinations Made by Baylor
University’s Mayborn Museum
Complex
Officials of Baylor University’s
Mayborn Museum Complex have
determined that:

Abstract: Under section 101(b) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act
of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361-1407), Alaska Natives
residing in Alaska and dwelling on the coast of the North Pacific or
Arctic Oceans may harvest polar bears, northern sea otters, and Pacific
walruses for subsistence or handicraft purposes. Section 109(i) of the
MMPA authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to prescribe marking,
tagging, and reporting regulations applicable to the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft take.
On behalf of the Secretary, we implemented regulations at 50 CFR
18.23(f) for Alaska Natives harvesting polar bears, northern sea
otters, and Pacific walruses. These regulations enable us to gather
data on the Alaska Native subsistence and handicraft harvest and on the
biology of polar bears, northern sea otters, and Pacific walruses in
Alaska to determine what effect such take may be having on these
populations. The regulations also provide us with a means of monitoring
the disposition of the harvest to ensure that any commercial use of
products created from these species meets the criteria set forth in
section 101(b) of the MMPA. We use three forms to collect the
information: FWS Form 3-2414 (Polar Bear Tagging Certificates), FWS
Form 3-2415 (Walrus Tagging Certificates), and FWS Form 3-2416 (Sea
Otter Tagging Certificates). The information we collect includes, but
is not limited to:
Date of kill;
Sex of the animal;
Kill location;
Age of the animal (i.e., adult, subadult, cub, or pup);
Form of transportation used to make the kill of polar
bears;
Amount of time (i.e., hours/days hunted) spent hunting
polar bears;
Type of take (live-killed or beach-found) for walrus;
Number of otters present in and number of otters harvested
from pod;
Condition of the polar bear and whether or not bear cubs
were present; and
Name of the hunter or possessor of the specified parts at
the time of marking, tagging, and reporting.
We use FWS Form 3-2406 (Registration of Certain Dead Marine Mammal
Hard Parts) to record the collection of bones, teeth, or ivory of dead
marine mammals by non-Native and Natives not eligible to harvest marine
mammals under the MMPA. It is legal to collect such parts from a beach
or from land within a quarter of a mile of the ocean (50 CFR 18.26).
The information we collect via Form 3-2406 includes, but is not limited
to:
Date and location found.
Age, sex, and size of the animal.
Tag numbers.
Name, address, phone number, and birthdate of the
collector.
Proposed Changes to Form 3-2414, ``Polar Bear Tagging Certificate''
With the changing environment, we are making a few needed changes
to the Form 3-2414. These changes are:
A. Age Class (Five different categories).
B. Bear Condition (Three different categories).
C. Research Marks/Tags (New Question).
D. Conflict or Problem Bear? (New question).
E. Defense of Life (Property removed).
F. Hunter Available for Post Hunt Interview? (Yes/No). Phone # (New
question).
Post-Interview Questions (if the hunter agrees):
a. Was there a food source/attractant that the bear was interested
in? What was the attractant?
b. Was there any attempt to haze the bear to get it to leave?
c. Was it believed that the bear could be a threat to people?
NOTE: These are typical post-hunt questions that would only be
