importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216).
The applicant requests a 5 year permit
to continue conservation research on
dolphins in Florida to study health,
environmental contaminants,
reproduction, population structure and
dynamics, acoustics, bioenergetics,
trophic patterns human interactions,
telemetry, ranging patterns, and
behavior. Up to 10,000 bottlenose
dolphins and 1,000 spotted dolphins
may be taken annually during vessel
surveys, including an unmanned aircraft
system, for counts, photography, photoidentification, photogrammetry, video
recording, observations, acoustic
playbacks, and passive acoustic
recording. A subset of these animals
may be remotely biopsy sampled,
suction-cup tagged, or bolt/pin tagged
annually. Up to 50 bottlenose and 25
spotted dolphins of the above animals
may be captured annually for health
assessments to include biological
sampling, auditory brainstem response
tests, metabolic rate studies, ultrasound,
X-rays, marking, tagging, release, and
tracking. Two unintentional mortalities
of each dolphin species may occur due
to capture over the life of the permit.
Biological samples collected may be
imported and exported annually for
analysis. The following non-target
species may be unintentionally harassed
during research: green sea turtle
(Chelonia mydas), hawksbill sea turtle
(Eretmochelys imbricata), Kemp’s ridley
sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii),
loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta),
olive ridley sea turtle (L. olivacea),
leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys
coriacea), smalltooth sawfish (Pristis
pectinata), and gulf sturgeon (Acipenser
oxyrinchus desotoi).
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.
