permit has been issued to Glacier Bay 

National Park and Reserve (Responsible 

Party: Susan Boudreau; Principal 

Investigator: Christine Gabriele), 

Gustavus, AK 99826 to conduct research

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

27, 2011, notice was published in the 

Federal Register (76 FR 30919) that a 

request for a permit to conduct research 

on humpback whales, killer whales, and 

minke whales had been submitted by 

the above-named applicant. 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. 15844 authorizes Glacier 

Bay National Park and Preserve to 

conduct passive acoustics, videography, 

photo-identification surveys, biopsy 

sampling, and collect sloughed skin 

and/or feces to study humpback whales, 

killer whales and minke whales. 

Research would occur around 

southeastern Alaska especially in 

Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. 

Up to 6300 humpback whales, 500 killer 

whales, and 20 minke whales could be 

harassed each year during photoidentification surveys. Additionally, 

humpback whales and the three killer 

whale ecotypes could be harassed up to 

50 times each, to acquire 30 successful 

biopsy samples, per year. The permit is 

valid through February 28, 2017. 

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 February 24, 2012. 

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.
