above. The request should set forth the 

specific reasons why a hearing on this 

application would be appropriate. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Laura Morse or Jennifer Skidmore, (301) 

427–8401. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested 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 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and 

the regulations governing the taking, 

importing, and exporting of endangered 

and threatened species (50 CFR 222– 

226). 

The objectives of this research are to 

study the ecological importance of 

whales and characterize the impacts of 

whaling on animals nutritionally 

dependent on sunken whale remains in 

the Antarctic. Research will involve 

collection, import, export, possession, 

and analyses of bones of sperm 

(Physeter macrocephalus) and minke 

(Balaenoptera acutorostrata) whales 

which originated from Sweden and 

Chile. Collection would involve 

retrieval of a lander on which the whale 

bones have been placed on the bottom 

of the Weddell Sea, Antarctica by 

foreign researchers and under other 

authorizations. Bones would be 

imported into the U.S. for analyses. No 

live animals would be harassed or 

taken, lethally or otherwise, under the 

permit. The permit is requested 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 this 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.
