SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 4, 2012, a notice was published 

in the Federal Register (77 FR 268) that 

an application had been filed by the 

above named applicant for a permit to 

harass 13,000 Steller sea lions 

(Eumetopias jubatus), 200 harbor seals 

(Phoca vitulina), 10 killer whales 

(Orcinus orca), 10 humpback whales 

(Megaptera novaeangliae), and 10 

northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) 

over the course of a one-year permit. 

The objective was to conduct lowaltitude (75 to 120 meters) aerial surveys 

of rookeries and haul outs using shipbased unmanned aircraft to demonstrate 

novel methods for imaging Steller sea 

lion terrestrial habitat in the Aleutian 

Islands with the accuracy and fidelity 

necessary for population surveys and at 

a cost low enough to allow frequent 

monitoring. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial 

determination was made that the 

activities proposed were consistent with 

the Preferred Alternative in the Final 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement (PEIS) for Steller Sea Lion 

and Northern Fur Seal Research (NMFS 

2007), and that issuance of the permit 

would not have a significant adverse 

impact on the human environment. 

Comments received on the application 

after publication of the notice of receipt 

suggested that an environmental 

assessment (EA) or other supplemental 

analysis was warranted due to the lack 

of information in the PEIS regarding 

potential effects of such low-altitude 

surveys. The regulations governing the 

taking and importing of marine 

mammals (50 CFR part 216) stipulate 

that, under these circumstances, the 

permit be denied unless an EA is 

prepared with a finding of no significant 

impact. 

The requested permit has been denied 

subject to the provisions of the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (16 

U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and the regulations 

governing the taking and importing of 

marine mammals (50 CFR part 216), 

because there is not time to prepare an 

EA and make a finding of no significant 

impact before the proposed field season. 

The application may be re-submitted 

with information necessary to prepare 

an EA and would be processed as a new 

application, with opportunity for public 

review and comment.

products to the Government.
