and an opportunity for public comments 

are not required by the Administrative 

Procedure Act or any other law for rules 

concerning grants, benefits, and 

contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)). Because 

notice and opportunity for comment are

any other law, the analytical 

requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are

flexibility analysis has not been 

prepared.

Whaling Provisions; Aboriginal 

Subsistence Whaling Quotas 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; notification of quota for 

bowhead whales. 

SUMMARY: NMFS provides notification 

of the aboriginal subsistence whaling 

quota for bowhead whales that it has 

assigned to the Alaska Eskimo Whaling 

Commission (AEWC), and other 

limitations deriving from regulations 

adopted at the 59th Annual Meeting of 

the International Whaling Commission 

(IWC). For 2010, the quota is 75 

bowhead whales struck. This quota and 

other limitations govern the harvest of 

bowhead whales by members of the 

AEWC. 

DATES: Effective March 5, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Office of International 

Affairs, National Marine Fisheries 

Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver 

Spring, MD 20910. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ryan Wulff, (202) 482–3689. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Aboriginal 

subsistence whaling in the United States 

is governed by the Whaling Convention 

Act (16 U.S.C. 916 et seq.). Regulations 

that implement the Act, found at 50 CFR 

230.6, require the Secretary of 

Commerce (Secretary) to publish, at 

least annually, aboriginal subsistence 

whaling quotas and any other 

limitations on aboriginal subsistence 

whaling deriving from regulations of the 

IWC. 

At the 59th Annual Meeting of the 

IWC, the Commission set catch limits 

for aboriginal subsistence use of 

bowhead whales from the BeringChukchi-Beaufort Seas stock. The 

bowhead catch limits were based on a 

joint request by the United States and 

the Russian Federation, accompanied by 

documentation concerning the needs of 

two Native groups: Alaska Eskimos and 

Chukotka Natives in the Russian Far 

East. 

This action by the IWC thus 

authorized aboriginal subsistence 

whaling by the AEWC for bowhead 

whales. This aboriginal subsistence 

harvest is conducted in accordance with 

a cooperative agreement between NOAA 

and the AEWC. 

The IWC set a 5–year block quota of 

280 bowhead whales landed. For each 

of the years 2008 through 2012, the 

number of bowhead whales struck may 

not exceed 67, except that any unused 

portion of a strike quota from any year, 

including 15 unused strikes from the 

2003 through 2007 quota, may be 

carried forward. No more than 15 strikes 

may be added to the strike quota for any 

one year. At the end of the 2009 harvest, 

there were 15 unused strikes available 

for carry-forward, so the combined 

strike quota for 2010 is 82 (67 + 15). 

This arrangement ensures that the 

total quota of bowhead whales landed 

and struck in 2010 will not exceed the 

catch limits set by the IWC. Under an 

arrangement between the United States 

and the Russian Federation, the Russian 

natives may use no more than seven 

strikes, and the Alaska Eskimos may use 

no more than 75 strikes. 

Through its cooperative agreement 

with the AEWC, NOAA has assigned 75 

strikes to the Alaska Eskimos. The 

AEWC will allocate these strikes among 

the 11 villages whose cultural and 

subsistence needs have been 

documented, and will ensure that its 

hunters use no more than 75 strikes. 

Other Limitations 

The IWC regulations, as well as the 

NOAA regulation at 50 CFR 230.4(c), 

forbid the taking of calves or any whale 

accompanied by a calf. 

NOAA regulations (at 50 CFR 230.4) 

contain a number of other prohibitions 

relating to aboriginal subsistence 

whaling, some of which are summarized 

here. For example: 

• Only licensed whaling captains or 

crew under the control of those captains 

may engage in whaling. They must 

follow the provisions of the relevant 

cooperative agreement between NOAA 

and a Native American whaling 

organization. 

• The aboriginal hunters must have 

adequate crew, supplies, and 

equipment. They may not receive 

money for participating in the hunt. 

• No person may sell or offer for sale 

whale products from whales taken in 

the hunt, except for authentic articles of 

Native handicrafts. 

• Captains may not continue to 

whale after the relevant quota is taken, 

after the season has been closed, or if 

their licenses have been suspended. 

They may not engage in whaling in a 

wasteful manner.
