The applicant proposes to receive, import, and export parts from all marine mammals and sea turtles, as well as endangered sawfish and sharks under NMFS’ jurisdiction to: (1) determine concentrations of metals and other environmental contaminants in these species; and (2) establish a resource of marine mammal, sea turtle, sawfish, and shark cell lines for use as model systems in the investigation of various factors related to the health of these protected species and as comparative tools to human studies (toxicity of metals, virology, etc.). Import and export authority is requested worldwide and the number of animals requested per taxa group or species is outlined in the application. No take of live animals would be authorized. Sources of foreign and domestic parts may include subsistence harvests, captive animals, other authorized researchers or curated collections, bycatch from legal commercial fishing operations, and foreign stranded animals. Once the cell lines are established, they may be transferred to other researchers, including export to worldwide locations. The cell lines would not be sold for profit or used for commercial purposes. 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 E:\FR\FM\11MYN1.SGM 11MYN1
