head and ear anatomy are produced 

from whole carcasses, heads, or 

temporal bones from animals that strand 

and die or die in captivity. The tissues 

are scanned by CT (Computerized 

Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic 

Resonance Imaging) and the ears are 

decalcified, sectioned, digitized, and 

reconstructed. Measurements from these 

reconstructions are used to calculate 

frequency distribution maps for each 

species examined. These inner ear 

models have provided the first evidence 

of acute infrasonic hearing in some 

species, new insights into how marine 

mammals achieve extreme infra and 

also ultrasonic hearing, and estimates of 

species specific hearing curves. A 

permit is requested for a period of 5 

years. 

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 

activities proposed are 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.
