Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 167 / Monday, August 31, 2009 / Notices 44823 

investigate causes for the Steller sea lion 

population decline and determine what 

is currently limiting its recovery. 

Research will involve: disturbance 

associated with capture, observational 

studies, and material/scat/carcass 

collection; capture, restraint, and 

sampling; and remote biopsy. Captured 

sea lions will undergo morphometrics 

measurement; blood and tissue 

collection; digital imaging; hotbranding; body condition measurement; 

whisker, hair, and milk sampling; 

temporary marking; and ultrasound 

exams. Research will occur in the Gulf 

of Alaska and Aleutian Islands, on 

Steller sea lions of the western Distinct 

Population Segment (DPS). The permit 

also authorizes annual unintentional 

mortality of Steller sea lions from the 

western DPS. 

File No. 14325: The permit issued to 

the Alaska Department of Fish and 

Game (ADF&G), Division of Wildlife 

Conservation, Juneau, AK, (Principal 

Investigator: Lorrie Rea, Ph.D.), 

authorizes them to continue a long-term 

research program investigating the 

various hypotheses for the decline or 

lack of recovery of Steller sea lions in 

AK. Research will involve: incidental 

disturbance during aerial surveys 

(eastern DPS); disturbance of animals on 

rookeries and haulouts during brand 

resighting surveys (eastern and western 

DPS) and incidental to scat collection, 

capture for instrument attachment, 

capture for branding, capture method 

development, physiological research 

and sample collection (eastern and 

western DPS); permanent marking of 

pups for long-term demographic and 

distribution studies, capture of older 

animals (eastern and western DPS) for 

physiological assessment and 

attachment of scientific instruments to 

investigate foraging ecology, diving 

behavior and habitat use. Additional 

animals of any age may be instrumented 

without capture (eastern and western 

DPS). The permit also authorizes 

unintentional mortality of Steller sea 

lions from the western DPS and the 

eastern DPS. Harbor seals (Phoca 

vitulina richardsi), northern fur seals, 

and California sea lions (Zalophus 

californianus) may be disturbed 

incidentally during the course of this 

research. 

File No. 14326: The permit issued to 

NMFS National Marine Mammal 

Laboratory (NMML), Seattle, WA,

Ph.D.), authorizes them to measure 

population status, vital rates, foraging 

ecology, habitat requirements, and 

effects of natural and anthropogenic 

factors for Steller sea lion in the North 

Pacific Ocean, including rookeries and 

haulouts in CA, OR, WA, and AK. 

Annually in the western DPS sea lions 

may be exposed to aerial surveys, 

rookery-based activities, and other 

incidental activities. Steller sea lions 

that are captured will have blood, skin, 

and swab samples collected; be hotbranded, have blubber and lesions 

biopsied, vibrissa removed; and 

stomach intubation. Instruments will be 

attached to some animals and others 

will receive a non-permanent mark if 

not hot-branded. Non-target species that 

may be harassed incidental to Steller sea 

lion research include northern fur seals 

in AK, California sea lions and northern 

elephant seals (Mirounga 

angustrirostris) in WA, OR, and CA, and 

harbor seals (P. vitulina) in all states. 

The permit also authorizes 

unintentional mortality of Steller sea 

lions from the western DPS and the 

eastern DPS. 

File No. 14327: The permit issued to 

NMML, (Principal Investigator: Rolf 

Ream, Ph.D.), authorizes them to 

investigate population status and trends, 

demographic parameters, health and 

condition, and foraging ecology of 

northern fur seals in U.S. waters, 

including rookeries and haulouts in CA 

and AK. Research on the San Miguel 

Island stock will involve: capture, 

restraint, sampling, and incidental 

disturbance. Research on the Eastern 

Pacific stock will involve: capture, 

restraint, sampling, and incidental 

disturbance. The permit also authorizes 

research-related mortality of fur seals 

from the San Miguel Island Stock and 

the Eastern Pacific stock. Western DPS 

Steller sea lions and California sea lions 

may be harassed annually incidental to 

the research. 

File No. 14328: The permit issued to 

ASLC, (Principal Investigator: Alan 

Springer, Ph.D.) authorizes them to 

characterize the winter habitat, 

movement patterns, diets and general 

health of adult male northern fur seals 

in the Bering Sea and northern North 

Pacific Ocean. Animals in AK would be 

captured, satellite tagged, blubber 

biopsied, blood sampled, and a vibrissa 

would be pulled for stable isotope 

analysis. Northern fur seals in AK may 

be incidentally harassed during the 

research activities. The permit also 

authorizes research-related mortality of 

fur seals. 

File No. 14329: The permit issued to 

the North Pacific Universities Marine 

Mammal Research Consortium 

(NPUMMRC), University of British 

Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, 

(Principal Investigator: Andrew Trites, 

Ph.D.) authorizes them to test 

hypotheses that might explain the 

decline of northern fur seals in AK and 

offer solutions for recovery. The 

research includes studies on foraging 

ecology, demographics, behavior, and 

changes in body size. Research activities 

involve: disturbance associated with 

capture, observational studies, and scat 

collection; and capture, restraint, tissue 

sampling, and marking. The permit also 

authorizes research-related mortality of 

northern fur seals. 

File No. 14330 and File No. 14331: 

The permits issued to the Aleut 

Community of St. Paul Island (ACSPI), 

Tribal Government, Ecosystem 

Conservation Office, St. Paul Island, AK, 

(File No. 14330), (Principal Investigator: 

Phillip A. Zavadil), and Aleut 

Community of St. George Island 

(ACSGI), St. George Traditional Council, 

St. George Island, AK, (File No. 14331), 

(Principal Investigator: Chris Merculief), 

authorize them to conduct activiites to 

fulfill their Biosampling, 

Disentanglement, and Island Sentinel 

program responsibilities as established 

under the co-management agreement 

between NMFS and the Aleut 

Communities. Work by ACSPI will 

occur on St. Paul Island, AK and work 

by ACSGI will occur on St. George 

Island, AK. The permits authorize 

incidental disturbance of northern fur 

seals on St. Paul Island and St. George 

Island during (1) disentanglement 

events, (2) the collection of biological 

samples from dead stranded and 

subsistence hunted marine mammals, 

and (3) haulout and rookery 

observations, monitoring, and remote 

camera maintenance. Samples will be 

exported to researchers studying the 

decline of northern fur seals. Steller sea 

lions and harbor seals may be disturbed 

during the course of these activities. The 

permits also authorize research-related 

mortality of northern fur seals. 

File No. 14334: The permit issued to 

the ASLC, (Principal Investigator: Lori 

Polasek, Ph.D.), authorizes them to 

investigate reproductive physiology of 

captive adult Steller sea lions 

(permanently captive eastern stock) and 

survival, growth, and physiology of 

captive-bred offspring. They may also 

deploy biotelemetry instruments on the 

captives to develop and validate 

methods for monitoring wild Steller sea 

lions. Research will be conducted on 

one adult male, up to four adult females, 

and up to six offspring, and will include 

the following activities: mass and 

morphometric measurements; 

ultrasound; capture, sedation, and 

anesthesia; blood sampling and 

administration of Evan’s blue dye and 

deuterium oxide; feces, urine, semen,

and attachment of biotelemetry 

instrumentation. The permit also 

provides for transfer to and import from 

approved North American facilities up 

to two male and four female Steller sea 

lions, not to exceed 11 animals held at 

ASLC for use in research. The permit 

allows for research-related mortality of 

captive Steller sea lions. 

File No. 14335: The permit issued to 

the ASLC, (Principal Investigator: JoAnn 

Mellish, Ph.D.), authorizes them to 

investigate the decline of the western 

stock of Steller sea lions and its failure 

to recover, and to assist recovery efforts. 

Data may be obtained on juvenile 

survival, epidemiology, endocrinology, 

immunology, virology, physiology, 

ontogenetic and annual body condition 

cycles, foraging behavior and habitat 

selection. Pups and juveniles of both 

sexes in the Gulf of Alaska will be 

captured each year, with a subset of 

juveniles selected for temporary 

quarantine captivity at the ASLC. 

Research activities involve capture, drug 

administration, anesthesia, fecal and 

urine collection, external and internal 

instruments, marking, morphometrics, 

behavioral observations, 

photogrammetry, tissue sampling, 

ultrasound, and x-ray. The permit also 

authorizes research related mortality of 

Steller sea lions from the western DPS. 

File No. 14336: The permit issued to 

Markus Horning, Ph.D., Marine 

Mammal Institute, Oregon State 

University, Newport, OR authorizes him 

to continue studies related to validation 

of surgically implanted scientific 

instruments called Life History 

Transmitters (LHX tags), for determining 

survival rates, emigration, causes of 

mortality, predation, and collecting 

long-term forage effort data in juvenile 

Steller sea lions. LHX tags will be 

opportunistically deployed in carcasses 

of dead Steller sea lions in AK, OR, and 

CA, and in California sea lions in OR 

and CA to assess uplink failure rates. 

Remote monitoring (using still, video, 

and infrared cameras) for censusing, 

brand re-sighting, attendance patterns, 

and estimating body mass, condition 

and health trends will be conducted at 

Long Island, AK and Sea Lion Caves and 

Cascade Head, OR. The permit also 

authorizes research-related mortalities 

of eastern DPS Steller sea lions. 

File No. 14337: The permit issued to 

the NPUMMRC, (Principal Investigator: 

Andrew Trites, Ph.D.), authorizes them 

to conduct studies of Steller sea lion 

diets, distributions, life history traits, 

physiology and the timing of weaning in 

AK. NPUMMRC will also permit 

activities to evaluate pain experienced 

by Steller sea lions during hot-iron 

branding conducted by researchers 

operating under separate permits. 

Research activities include: disturbance 

associated with capture, observational 

studies, and scat collection; and 

capture, restraint, tissue sampling, and 

marking. The permit also authorizes 

research-related mortality of eastern 

DPS and western DPS sea lions. The 

permit authorizes harassment of 

northern fur seals, California sea lions, 

northern elephant seals, harbor seals, 

and killer whales (Orcinus orca) in AK 

incidental to the research on Steller sea 

lions. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), NMFS completed a 

Final PEIS for Steller Sea Lion and 

Northern Fur Seal Research to provide 

decision-makers, and the public, with 

an evaluation of the environmental 

effects of funding and permitting a 

research program for Steller sea lions 

and northern fur seals for the next five 

to ten years. In a ROD signed on August 

10, 2009, NMFS identified the Preferred 

Alternative (Alternative 4: Research 

Program with Full Implementation of 

Conservation Goals) as its preferred 

strategy for issuance of grants and 

permits for scientific research on these 

species. This alternative allows the 

agency to fully implement the 

recommendations in the species’ 

conservation and recovery plans. 

Subsequent to completion of the PEIS, 

and prior to the ROD, NMFS developed 

additional policy and guidance to 

improve the implementation of the 

Steller sea lion and Northern fur seal 

research permit program. For additional 

information about the PEIS, please see 

the project webpage at http:// 

www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/eis/ 

steller.htm. NMFS has determined that 

the activities in the above permits are 

consistent with the Preferred 

Alternative, and that issuance of the 

permits would not have a significant 

adverse impact on the human 

environment. 

Issuance of the permits, as required by 

the ESA, were based on a finding that 

such permits: (1) were applied for in 

good faith; (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered 

species; and (3) are consistent with the 

purposes and policies set forth in 

section 2 of the ESA.
