FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Skidmore or Kristy Beard,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 

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

governing the taking and importing of 

marine mammals (50 CFR part 216). 

The applicant requests authorization 

to import up to eight non-releasable 

harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) from the 

Vancouver Aquarium Science Center, 

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to 

the Oregon Coast Aquarium. The 

applicant requests these imports for the 

purpose of public display. The receiving 

facility, Oregon Coast Aquarium, 2820 

S.E. Ferry Slip Road, Newport, OR 

97365 is: (1) open to the public on 

regularly scheduled basis with access 

that is not limited or restricted other 

than by charging for an admission fee; 

(2) offers an educational program based 

on professionally accepted standards of 

the American Association of Zoos and 

Aquariums; and (3) holds an Exhibitor’s 

License, number 92–C–0057, issued by 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

under the Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 

§§ 2131–59). 

In addition to determining whether 

the applicant meets the three public 

display criteria, NMFS must determine 

whether the applicant has demonstrated 

that the proposed activity is humane 

and does not represent any unnecessary 

risks to the health and welfare of marine 

mammals; that the proposed activity by 

itself, or in combination with other 

activities, will not likely have a 

significant adverse impact on the 

species or stock; and that the applicant’s 

expertise, facilities and resources are 

adequate to accomplish successfully the 

objectives and activities stated in the 

application. 

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 this 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.
