The applicant proposes to capture and sample six species of Southern Ocean pinnipeds across their geographic range (i.e., Antarctica, subantarctic islands, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Africa). Target species include: leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx), Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella), crabeater seals (Lobodon carcinophaga), Ross seals (Ommatophoca rossii), southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina), and Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii). Take activities will consist of one or more of the following methods based on location, sex, and age class of the animal: remote tissue sampling, physical capture, chemical immobilization, and aerial surveys. The applicant may collect morphometrics, tissues (e.g., blood, hair, skin, vibrissae, blubber, milk), and opportunistic samples (e.g., scat, carcasses); mark via flipper tag; collect ultrasound measurements; attach instruments; and measure via photogrammetry. For each species, the applicant proposes to capture and sample 30 adults, harass and sample 30 adults, and capture and sample 30 pups annually for 5 years. An additional 100–500 animals depending on the species may be taken annually by unintentional harassment. The applicant requests three leopard seal unintentional mortalities and two unintentional mortalities for all other species, annually. The applicant also requests authorization to import parts from each species of Antarctic pinniped from the Southern Ocean and other countries where these species are found to the U.S. and to export samples from the U.S. to collaborators abroad for analyses. The permit would be valid for 5 years from the date of issuance. 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.
