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 proposes to study
North Atlantic right whales (NARW)
from Cumberland Island, Georgia, south
to Jupiter Inlet, Florida. The purpose of
the research is to continue a long-term
study of the distribution, abundance,
habitat use, behavior, reproduction, and
human impacts on NARWs. Research
would consist of photo-ID, behavioral
observations, counts, and passive
acoustic recordings. Annually,
researchers may approach up to 25
NARW using boats, and another 40
NARW may be approached from
unmanned aircraft systems, manned
airplanes, and blimps. If encountered,
ten humpback whales (Megaptera
novaenagliae) may be studied annually.
Up to 60 bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops
truncatus) and 12 Atlantic spotted
dolphins (Stenella frontalis) may be
unintentionally harassed annually. The
permit would be valid for 5 years.
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.
