SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1672 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 11, 2012 / Notices 

Federal Register (76 FR 48806) that a 

request for a scientific research permit 

to take green, loggerhead, hawksbill, 

leatherback, Kemp’s ridley, olive ridley, 

and unidentified hardshell 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 five-year permit authorizes the 

SEFSC to conduct research on green, 

loggerhead, hawksbill, leatherback, 

Kemp’s ridley, olive ridley, and 

unidentified hardshell sea turtles 

captured under another authority during 

SEFSC resource assessment cruises. 

SEFSC personnel are authorized to 

handle, photograph, measure, weigh, 

flipper and passive integrated 

transponder tag, and tissue sample live 

sea turtles, and salvage specimens from 

dead sea turtles. The research will take 

place in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of 

Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and their 

embayments and estuaries. This 

research would aid in the development 

and refinement of management efforts to 

recover these species. 

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.

U.S.C. 552b, as amended, and 41 CFR

closed to the public. The Under
