FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy Sloan 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 

(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 222–226), and the Fur Seal Act of 

1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et 

seq.). 

Dr. Ketten is requesting a permit for 

the collection, receipt, and world-wide 

import/export of marine mammal and 

endangered species parts annually from 

up to 20 animals of each species from 

the orders of Cetacea (dolphins, 

porpoises and whales) and Pinnipedia 

(seals and sea lions, excluding walrus). 

Whole carcasses, heads, or temporal 

bones (ears) are requested from stranded 

animals in foreign countries that die 

prior to beaching or are euthanized 

upon stranding; animals that die in 

captivity in the U.S. and abroad; 

animals killed in legal subsistence 

hunts; and animals killed incidental to 

legal fisheries operations. No live 

animals would be taken or killed for the 

purpose of this research. Marine 

mammal ears will be studied using 

various methods including biomedical 

imaging and dissection and histology; 

computer modelling is used to estimate 

hearing abilities, calculate frequency 

distribution maps, determine how 

marine mammal ears withstand pressure 

changes, and understand how 

underwater noise affects hearing. The 

requested duration of the permit is five 

years. 

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.
