consistent with the Preferred Alternative in the Final Programmatic EIS 
for Steller Sea Lion and Northern Fur Seal Research (NMFS 2007). A 
supplemental EA (NMFS 2014) was prepared for the addition of unmanned

    As required by the ESA, as applicable, issuance of these permit was 
based on a finding that such permits: (1) were applied for in good

species; and (3) are consistent with the purposes and policies set 
forth in section 2 of the ESA.

the taking and importing of marine mammals (50 CFR part 216), the ESA 
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), as applicable.
