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 requests authorization
for the continued maintenance of two
previously stranded Guadalupe fur seals
that were deemed non-releasable and
placed at Sea World of California for
enhancement purposes. The proposed
enhancement activities for these and
other Guadalupe fur seals (up to six
non-releasable fur seals at any given
time) would include daily husbandry
and veterinary care, behavioral
observations, and programs to educate
the public regarding Guadalupe fur seal
natural history, distribution and
population status. These animals would
be placed on public display, incidental
to the enhancement activities, and
would not be trained for performance.
Opportunistic scientific research may
occur, under separate authorization,
pending approval by the SeaWorld
Animal Science and Welfare Team and
the attending veterinarian. The
applicant has requested a five-year
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 copies of the
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
