SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

20, 2010, notice was published in the 

Federal Register (75 FR 28236) that a 

request for an amendment Permit No. 

13602 to conduct research on captive 

and rehabilitating threatened and 

endangered marine mammals had been 

submitted by the above-named 

applicant. On December 8, 2010, notice 

was published in the Federal Register 

(75 FR 76399) that changes to the 

application were requested. 

The requested permit amendment 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). 

The permit holder is authorized to 

conduct physiological research on 

captive Hawaiian monk seals 

(Monachus schauinslandi) in facilities 

in the United States, and opportunistic 

energetic assessments on stranded ESAlisted marine mammals under NMFS 

jurisdiction undergoing rehabilitation in 

California, using methods currently 

approved in Permit No. 13602. In 

addition to the energetic assessments, 

the following research is authorized on 

captive Hawaiian monk seals: 

Deuterium oxide and Evan’s blue 

administration, blood sampling, blubber 

ultrasound; and administration of 

thyroid stimulating hormone and fecal 

sampling. The amendment has been 

issued for the duration of the permit. 

An environmental assessment (EA) 

analyzing the effects of the permitted 

activities on the human environment 

was prepared 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). 

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.
