61094 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 220 / Friday, November 14, 1997 / Notices

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 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and

the regulations governing the taking,

importing, and exporting of endangered

fish and wildlife (50 CFR part 222.23).

Permit No. 875–1401 currently

authorizes the harassment of several

species of marine mammals during the

conduct of research to study the effects

of low-frequency sound produced by the

Navy’s Surface Towed Array

Surveillance System Low Frequency

Active (SURTASS LFA) system on the

behavior of blue whales (Balaenoptera

musculus) and fin whales (Balaenoptera

physalus) feeding in the Southern

California Bight during September/

October of 1997 and/or 1998. The

permit holder is now requesting that the

Permit be amended to provide for: 1) the

conduct of playback experiments using

a SURTASS LFA sound source to study

behavioral responses of gray whales

(Eschrichtius robustus) to SURTASS

LFA signals and related stimuli; and 2)

radio tagging via suction cup attachment

of up to 14 gray whales. Individuals of

several other species of cetaceans,

pinnipeds, and possibly sea turtles, may

be taken (i.e., by harassment or auditory

temporary threshold shift) incidentally

during the proposed experiments.

In compliance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a draft EA

examining the environmental

consequences of issuing the requested

amended permit has been prepared.

Based upon this draft EA, NMFS has

preliminarily concluded that issuance of

the requested permit will not have a

significant effect on the human

environment.
