Those individuals requesting a public 

hearing should submit a written request 

to the Chief, Permits, Conservation and 

Education Division at the address listed 

above. The request should set forth the 

specific reasons why a hearing on this 

application would be appropriate. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy Sloan or Tammy Adams, 

(301)427–8401. 

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.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216), the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (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. 16087–00, issued on May 

18, 2011 (76 FR 30309), authorizes the 

permit holder to take marine mammals 

in California, Oregon, and Washington 

to investigate population status, health, 

demographic parameters, life history 

and foraging ecology of California sea 

lions (Zalophus californianus), Pacific 

harbor seals (Phoca vitulina), and 

northern elephant seals (Mirounga 

angustrirostris). Research procedures 

include: capture (stalking, round up, 

hoop net, darting, floating trap); 

administer drug (IM, subcutaneously); 

anesthesia (gas, sedatives); euthanasia; 

attach scientific instruments; mark (clip 

hair, flipper tag, hot brand, paint, 

patch); measure; restrain (board, cage, 

hand, head bag, net, pen); collect tissue 

sample (blood, blubber, enema, fecal 

loop, hair, stomach lavage, milk, remote 

biopsy, skin, swab, urine, vibrissae); 

ultrasound; and weigh. Up to 509,475 

California sea lions may be taken 

annually, including 3,315 by capture 

and handle, 100 by harassment and 

tissue sampling, and 506,060 by 

incidental disturbance. Up to 100 

moribund and 40 prematurely born 

California sea lion pups may be 

euthanized for health studies over the 

duration of the permit. Up to 1,185 

harbor seals may be taken annually, 

including 50 by capture and handling, 

and 1,135 by incidental disturbance. Up 

to 2,766 northern elephant seals may be 

taken annually, including 50 by capture 

and handling, and 2,716 by incidental 

disturbance. The permit authorizes 

unintentional research-related mortality 

of up to 49 California sea lions, 4 harbor 

seals, and 4 northern elephant seals, and 

1 northern fur seal. Up to 4,500 northern 

fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) may be 

incidentally disturbed annually at San 

Miguel Island, CA during research 

activities. On April 26, 2012, a minor 

amendment (Permit No. 16087–01) was 

issued to expand diving behavior 

studies of northern elephant seals to 

include ultrasound measurements for 

examination of energy acquisition at 

sea. Permit No. 16087–01 expires on 

June 30, 2016. 

The applicant requests an amendment 

to (1) modify annual takes and sample 

collection methods for California sea 

lions, Pacific harbor seals, and northern 

elephant seals; (2) add census, tagging 

and monitoring of threatened 

Guadalupe fur seal (Arctophoca phillipi 

townsendi) populations on the 

California Channel Islands; and (3) 

extend the duration of the permit by five 

years. 

The take tables in Permit No. 16087– 

01 include annual takes for all species 

that limits takes to a maximum number 

less than the total of all annual takes 

over 5 years. The permit holder requests 

to remove the limit and thus increase 

the number of animals taken by 

disturbance, capture and sampling, and 

mortalities as indicated in the 

application take tables to allow annual 

takes over the duration of the permit. 

The permit holder also requests to 

collect ocular swabs, increase the 

number of swabs collected from each 

orifice to improve disease surveillance, 

and increase the number of animals 

from which swabs may be taken for all 

species. The permit holder requests 

pulling vibrissae in addition to clipping 

(already permitted) to allow the 

extraction of the entire vibrissae for 

stable isotope analysis so that entire 

foraging records can be obtained for all 

species. The request also includes an 

increase of 310 California sea lions that 

may be taken annually by capture and 

handling (from 3,315 to 3,625 annually) 

and an increase of up to 50 northern 

elephant seals that may be taken 

annually by capture and handling (from 

50 to 100 annually) to allow for seasonal 

sampling for both species. 

The permit holder also requests 

adding stock assessment research on 

Guadalupe fur seals to include: (1) 

Vessel and land censuses of all the 

California Channel Islands and haul out 

sites along the California, Oregon and 

Washington coasts to obtain a current 

population assessment of the species for 

NMFS status review and to identify the 

seasonality of their presence in U.S. 

waters; (2) remote camera deployment 

and visual observations for behavioral 

studies; (3) flipper tagging and 

morphometrics on pups at least one 

month old; (4) opportunistic collection 

of carcasses, scats, hair or other tissues 

from haulout areas following 

disturbance from surveys or when adult 

individuals are not present; and (5) 

incidental disturbance of Guadalupe fur 

seals while conducting California sea 

lion, northern elephant seal or harbor 

seal research. The permit holder 

requests to take up to 300 Guadalupe fur 

seals annually distributed over five 

geographic areas, including 200 by 

incidental disturbance and 100 by 

capture and handling. The permit 

holder also requests one unintentional 

research-related mortality of Guadalupe 

fur seals over the duration of the permit. 

The permit holder requests that the 

duration of the permit, with the 

proposed amendments, be extended for 

a five-year period. 

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.

the current or most recent contractors, 

the Committee has determined that the 

service listed below is suitable for 

procurement by the Federal Government

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

I certify that the following action will 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities.

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small 

organization that will provide the 

service to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing a small entity to provide the 

service to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in 

connection with the service proposed 

for addition to the Procurement List.
