SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 17, 2013, notice was published 

in the Federal Register (78 FR 3882) 

that a modification to Permit No. 13543, 

issued April 30, 2009 (74 FR 20926), 

had been requested by the above-named 

organization. The requested 

modification has been granted under the 

authority of the Endangered Species Act 

of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.) and the regulations 

governing the taking, importing, and 

exporting of endangered and threatened 

species (50 CFR 222–226). 

Permit No. 13543 authorizes the 

permit holder to handle, measure, 

weigh, affix a passive integrated 

transponder tag, flipper tag, and 

photograph sea turtles that have already 

been captured by authorized coastal 

trawl surveys in waters from North 

Carolina to Florida. The purpose of the 

research is to further the understanding 

of the growth, distribution, and life 

history of sea turtles. The permit 

modification, No. 13543–01 authorizes 

the requested increase in annual take 

limits for Kemp’s ridley (Lepidochelys 

kempii) and loggerhead (Caretta caretta) 

sea turtles to accommodate recent 

increases in capture rates of these 

species in the trawl surveys. The permit 

is valid through April 30, 2014. 

Issuance of this modification, as 

required by the ESA, was based on a 

finding that such permit (1) was applied 

for in good faith, (2) will not operate to 

the disadvantage of such endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.
