FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Carrie Hubard or Kristy Beard, (301)

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 

authorization to film spinner dolphins 

near Midway Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. 

Dolphins would be approached during 

morning and late afternoon when they 

are typically active, but would not be 

approached during their mid-day resting 

period. Filming techniques include 

above water from a vessel, a polemounted underwater camera, and a 

waterproof camera used by a snorkeling 

cameraman. Up to 1,300 dolphins could 

be approached annually during filming 

activities. Footage would be used 

primarily for a television documentary 

about Hawaiian wildlife that would be 

aired on Animal Planet in the U.S. and 

elsewhere internationally. The initial 

filming period is scheduled for two 

weeks in June/July 2012. The permit 

would be valid for five years. 

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.
