FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Carrie Hubard or Joselyd Garcia-Reyes,

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.) and the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216). 

The applicant is requesting a five-year 

permit to film gray and killer whales in 

the eastern Aleutian Islands, primarily 

near Ikatan Bay and along the Ikatan 

Peninsula on the south side of Unimak 

Island, Alaska. The purpose of the 

project is to document killer whales 

hunting gray whales migrating through 

False Pass and Unimak Pass. In 

addition, the filmmaker hopes to 

document the behavior of marine 

animals in the presence of a gray whale 

carcass. Filming would occur between 

April and June of each year. A 

maximum of 35 killer whales and 10 

gray whales could be closely 

approached annually. Footage would be 

obtained from vessel-mounted cameras, 

a polecam that would be submerged 

next to the boat, and, as the opportunity 

arises, from a remotely operated video 

camera in an underwater housing 

placed on the sea floor near a gray 

whale carcass. The applicant would 

share footage with the scientific 

community as it may reveal to what 

extent killer whales continue to feed on 

submerged kills, how they feed on these 

carcasses, and document what other 

animals may benefit from these 

carcasses as well. Footage would be 

used for a television program about 

predators and the challenges they face. 

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.
