SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
312 of the Coastal Zone Management
Act (CZMA) requires NOAA to conduct
periodic evaluations of federally
approved coastal management programs
and national estuarine research reserves.
The process includes one or more
public meetings, consideration of
written public comments, and
consultations with interested Federal,
State, and local agencies and members
of the public. During the evaluation,
NOAA will consider the extent to which
the State of Texas has met the national
objectives, adhered to the management
program approved by the Secretary of
Commerce, and adhered to the terms of
financial assistance under the CZMA.
When the evaluation is completed,
NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management
will place a notice in the Federal

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of 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 continue
long-term studies on juvenile, subadult,
and adult sea turtle populations in the
U.S. Virgin Islands. Researchers would
assess habitat use, foraging behaviors,
anthropogenic impacts, predator and
prey interactions, social interactions,
gender ratios, and diet. Up to 140 green,
70 hawksbill, and five loggerhead sea
turtles annually may be captured by
hand or tangle net, tagged (acoustic,
passive integrated transponder, flipper),
marked, measured, have cloacal
temperature measured, biologically
sampled (blood, fecal, skin), tracked,
recaptured for gear removal, weighed,
and photographed/videoed, prior to
release. A subset of sea turtles may
receive either a satellite tag (epoxy
attachment) or an animal-borne camera
(suction-cup attachment) and an
acoustic tag (drill carapace attachment),
prior to release. The permit would be
valid for 10 years.
