SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

subject amendment to Permit No. 684–

1458, issued on August 17, 1998 (63 FR

43914) 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).

Permit No. 684–1458 authorizes the

permit holder to capture, tag, sample,

and lavage Weddell seals

(Leptonychotes weddellii) of all age and

sex classes on McMurdo Sound in the

Antarctic. The permit holder requests

authorization to place VHF transmitters

on adult female Weddell seals, and

apply a series of instrument packages

that contain: a 3MPDT logger (3-

dimensional, magnetic data recorder),

DSL (digital still camera), DU

(ultrasonic depth sounder), PD2GT

(speed, acceleration, depth, and

temperature recorder) and ECG

(electrocardiogram monitor) to male and

female Weddell seals of all age classes.

For attachment of the instrument

package, the permit holder requests

authorization to anesthetize seals with

the drug Sevoflurane. The permit holder

also requests an increase in the number

of adult female Weddell seals captured

(400 to 500), the number of adult male

Weddell seals fitted with VHF

transmitters (30 to 100) and the number

of Weddell seal pups fitted with

satellite-linked radio transmitters and

the PD2GT and ECG instruments (20 to

50).

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.

The project is located in Whitehall

Township, Lehigh County,

Pennsylvania.

4. Uwchlan Township D–2000–16

CP. A project to expand the applicant’s

Eagleview sewage treatment plant (STP)

from 0.15 million gallons per day (mgd)

between the Borough of Kennett Square

and Kennett Township immediately

south of Baltimore Pike in Kennett

Township, Chester County,

Pennsylvania. Treated effluent will be

discharged to West Branch Red Clay

Creek in Water Quality Zone C5. After

screening and disinfection, 0.09 mgd of

cooling water will be discharged to West

Branch Red Clay Creek via a separate

outfall.

Documents relating to these items

may be examined at the Commission’s
