SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permits are requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 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.), the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226), and the Fur Seal 

Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 

et seq.). 

For File No. 27408: ASLC proposes to 

conduct research to monitor population 

vital rates of the endangered western 

distinct population segment (wDPS) of 

Steller sea lions and determine what 

factors most affect vital rates and the 

potential for population recovery, 

focusing on population dynamics, 

health, diet, and behavior. Individuals 

may be taken in the Gulf of Alaska by 

the following means: disturbance 

associated with capture, observational 

studies, and material/scat/carcass 

collection; capture, restraint, and 

sampling; and remote biopsy. Captured 

sea lions will undergo morphometrics, 

digital imaging, hot-branding, biological 

sampling, temporary marking, and 

ultrasound exams. ASLC requests four 

unintentional mortalities from the 

wDPS over the duration of the permit. 

California sea lions (Zalophus 

californianus) may be disturbed during 

the research. See the application for 

complete numbers of animals requested 

by species and procedure. The 

requested duration of this permit is 5 

years. 

For File No. 27499: MML proposes to 

conduct research to measure population 

status, vital rates, foraging ecology, 

habitat requirements, and effects of 

natural and anthropogenic factors 

impacting Steller sea lion populations 

pursuant to fulfilling the NMFS legal 

requirements under the MMPA and 

ESA, and to test hypotheses of 

mechanisms underlying population 

trends in Alaska. Proposed activities 

include surveys (aerial, vessel, and 

land) including unmanned aircraft 

systems (UAS), capture and handling, 

marking, hot branding, sampling 

(including but not limited to blood, 

blubber, swabs of all mucus membranes 

and lesions, skin samples, vibrissae, 

feces, urine, hair, and nail), tagging, and 

unintentional disturbance. Animals may 

be disturbed by surveys, captured, 

sampled and released for vital rates, 

foraging ecology and/or health studies 

multiple times per year. MML requests 

four unintentional mortalities from the 

wDPS annually, not to exceed eight over 

the duration of the permit. Non-target 

species that may be disturbed 

unintentionally to these studies include 

northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus), 

harbor seals (Phoca vitulina), and 

California sea lions. Collected samples 

may be exported for analysis. See the 

application for complete numbers of 

animals requested by species and 

procedure. The requested duration of 

this permit is 5 years. 

For File No. 27503: ADF&G proposes 

to continue their long-term Steller sea 

lion research program, to investigate 

recovery trends, collecting survival and 

reproduction data, investigating 

movement between and within the 

populations, and monitoring threats. 

Proposed activities include: aerial 

(including UAS), vessel and groundbased surveys including counts, 

photography, and observations; remote 

biopsy sampling; captures including 

morphometrics, marking, external 

instrument attachment, biological 

sampling, ultrasound, and hot branding; 

and collection, import, export, and 

receipt of pinniped parts. ADF&G 

requests four unintentional mortalities 

annually from each the wDPS and 

eastern DPS, not to exceed eight per 

DPS over the duration of the permit. 

Non-target species that may be 

disturbed during these studies include 

northern fur seals, and harbor, spotted
