The applicant proposes to film gray

snorkelers. If encountered, 70 of each of
the following species may be filmed and
unintentionally harassed: killer whales
(Orcinus orca; west coast transient
stock), harbor porpoise (Phocoena
phocoena), California sea lions
(Zalophus californianus), Steller sea
lions (Eumetopias jubatus), and harbor
seals (Phoca vitulina). The permit
would expire on May 31, 2024.
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.
