SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216). 

Ms. McGuire requests a 5-year permit 

to conduct research on endangered Cook 

Inlet beluga whales (Delphinapterus 

leucas), in Cook Inlet, AK. The purpose 

of the research is to (1) continue to build 

and maintain the species’ photoidentification catalog, (2) describe the 

population’s characteristics, and (3) 

determine life history characteristics of 

the species. Research may result in up 

to 6,800 annual takes of whales by Level 

B harassment during vessel surveys for 

observation, photography, and photoidentification. Up to 100 harbor seals 

(Phoca vitulina) annually could be 

incidentally disturbed during surveys. 

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 the 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.
