**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On September 24, 2012, notice was published in the Federal Register (77 FR 58812) that a request for a scientific research permit to take loggerhead, green, Kemp’s ridley, hawksbill, leatherback, and olive ridley sea turtles had been submitted by the above-named organization. The requested permit has been issued 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 parts 222–226).

The permit authorizes aerial, vessel, and acoustic surveys on sea turtles in the North Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and their embayments. Sea turtles may be directly captured by hand or using nets or alternatively, sea turtle may be obtained from other legal sources. Authorized procedures for captured sea turtles include: measurements, laboratory experiments, biological sampling, temporary marking, tracking, ultrasound, and/or attachment of transmitters before release back to the wild. Up to six sea turtles may accidentally die over the five-year life of the permit.

Issuance of this permit, 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.

Dated: August 16, 2013. P. Michael Payne, Chief, Permits and Conservation Division, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
