part 216), 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). 

Permit No. 18016 authorizes the 

applicant to conduct research on Cook 

Inlet beluga whales to provide 

information about their movement 

patterns, habitat use, survivorship, 

reproduction, and population size in 

Alaska. Researchers may approach up to 

120 whales by vessel over the life of the 

permit, not to exceed 30 takes annually, 

for photo-identification and observation. 

Up to 200 harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) 

annually may be incidentally harassed 

during surveys. The permit is valid for 

five years from the date of issuance. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final 

determination has been made that the 

activity proposed is categorically 

excluded from the requirement to 

prepare an environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement. 

As required by the ESA, issuance of 

this permit 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 

species; and (3) is consistent with the 

purposes and policies set forth in 

section 2 of the ESA.

ACTION: Issuance of permit. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the NMFS National Marine Mammal 

Laboratory (Responsible Party: John 

Bengtson, Ph.D.), 7600 Sand Point Way 

NE., Seattle, WA 98115–0070 has been 

issued a permit to take Steller sea lions 

(Eumetopias jubatus) for purposes of 

scientific research. 

ADDRESSES: The permit and related 

documents are available for review 

upon written request or by appointment 

in the Permits and Conservation 

Division, Office of Protected Resources, 

NMFS, 1315 East-West Highway, Room 

13705, Silver Spring, MD 20910; phone

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy Sloan, (301) 427–8401. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

24, 2014, notice was published in the 

Federal Register (79 FR 15962) that a 

request for a scientific research permit 

to take Steller sea lions had been 

submitted by the above-named 

organization. The requested permit has 

been issued under the authority of the 

Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, 

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216), 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). 

Permit No. 18528–00 authorizes 

NMML to conduct research on the 

Western distinct population segment 

and Eastern distinct population segment 

of Steller sea lions in Alaska, 

Washington, Oregon, and California to 

measure population status, vital rates, 

foraging ecology, habitat requirements, 

and effects of natural and anthropogenic 

factors pursuant to fulfilling the NMFS’ 

legal requirements under the MMPA 

and ESA. Steller sea lions may be 

exposed to aerial surveys by manned or 

unmanned aircraft and vessel and 

ground surveys. Researchers may 

capture, sample, hot brand or nonpermanently mark, and instrument sea 

lions. Non-target species that may be 

taken incidentally include northern fur 

seals (Callorhinus ursinus) in Alaska, 

California sea lions (Zalophus 

californianus) and northern elephant 

seals (Mirounga angustirostris) in 

Washington, Oregon, and California, 

and harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in all 

states. The permit expires June 30, 2019. 

An environmental assessment (EA) 

was prepared analyzing the effects of 

the permitted activities on the human 

environment in compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Based on 

the analyses in the EA, NMFS 

determined that issuance of the permit 

would not significantly impact the 

quality of the human environment and 

that preparation of an environmental 

impact statement was not required. That 

determination is documented in a 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI), signed on June 17, 2014. 

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.
