part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50

marine mammals in U.S. and
international waters of the North Pacific
Ocean off the coasts of Washington,
Oregon, California, Alaska, and Canada.
Up to 33 species of marine mammals
may be taken during research including
the following ESA-listed species: blue
(Balaenoptera musculus), fin (B.
physalus), gray (Eschrichtius robustus;
Western North Pacific distinct
population segments[DPS]), humpback
(Megaptera novaeangliae; Western
North Pacific, Central America, and
Mexico DPSs), killer (Orcinus orca;
Southern Resident DPS), North Pacific
right (Eubalaena japonica), sei (B.
borealis), and sperm (Physeter

fur seals (Arctocephalus townsendi) and
Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus;
Western DPS). The applicant proposes
to take marine mammals during vessel
and aerial surveys, including unmanned
aircraft systems, for above and
underwater photography and
videography, photo-identification,
photogrammetry, thermal imaging,
behavioral observations, passive
acoustic recordings, prey mapping with
echosounders, biological sampling
(exhaled air, feces, sloughed skin,
predation samples, and skin and
blubber biopsies), and suction-cup
tagging. Research may also be
conducted on captive killer whales.
Marine mammal parts may be received,
imported, and exported for analysis. See
the application for complete numbers of
animals requested by species, life stage,
and procedure.
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.
