Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 176 / Tuesday, September 13, 2022 / Notices
The applicant proposes to study 34
cetacean species and four pinniped
species in U.S waters of the Atlantic
Ocean from Maine to Virginia.
Researchers seek to (1) document
marine mammal seasonal occurrence
and distribution, (2) collect baseline
data to maintain comparative long-term
data sets to evaluate changes in species
trends, and (3) identify and document
natural and anthropogenic threats to
marine mammals. Researchers would
conduct manned aerial surveys and
vessel surveys, including operation of
an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), for
counts, behavioral observations,
photography, and photo-identification
of marine mammals. Researchers would
also conduct ground surveys of
pinnipeds for counts, scat collection,
remote video monitoring, observations,
photography or photo-identification,
and UAS operations. Take numbers for
each species can be found in the
application’s take table. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject modification to Permit No.
20528–03, issued on February 28, 2022
(87 FR 22193, April 14, 2022) is
requested under the authority of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (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).
Permit No. 20528–03 authorizes the
permit holder to conduct research on
Atlantic (Acipenser oxyrinchus) and
shortnose (A. brevirostrum) sturgeon to
determine their presence, status, health,
habitat use, and movements in South
Carolina waters. Researchers may use
gill nets to capture Atlantic and
shortnose sturgeon to measure, weigh,
passive integrated transponder tag (PIT),
dart tag, tissue sample, acoustically tag,
fin ray sample, gonad biopsy, and
photograph prior to release. A subset of
Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon may
receive internal acoustic transmitters.
Early life stages of each species may be
lethally sampled to document
occurrence of spawning in systems. Up
to two sturgeon of each species may
unintentionally die annually during
sampling activities. The permit holder
requests authorization in the Edisto
River to: (1) increase the number of
adult/subadult shortnose sturgeon to be
captured, PIT tagged, dart tagged,
biologically sampled (tissue sample, fin

ray sample), measured, weighed, and
photographed prior to release from 10 to

number of juvenile shortnose sturgeon
to be captured, PIT tagged, dart tagged,
biologically sampled (tissue sample, fin
ray sample), measured, weighed, and
photographed prior to release from 10 to
20, annually, to accommodate research
efforts. The permit is valid through
March 31, 2027.
