SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

subject amendment to Permit No. 965,

issued on June 19, 1995 (60 FR 34233)

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.), the regulations governing the

taking, importing, and exporting of

endangered fish and wildlife (50 CFR

222.23), and the Fur Seal Act of 1966,

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.).

Permit no. 965 authorizes the permit

holder to: to take a maximum of 150

Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus)

by trapping, darting, sampling, and gas

anesthesia (including a maximum of 20

by recapture for follow-up blood

sampling and removal of instruments); a

maximum of 400 Steller pups over 6

months old by hand capture, gas

anesthesia, and marking; a maximum of

10,000 Stellers by harassment during

the course of capturing suitable animals;

a maximum of 15 Stellers by

unintentional mortality during the

course of capture and chemical

immobilization and salvaged specimens

of stranded animals, premature pups,

and mortalities associated with this and

other research activities. The holder is

also authorized to take up to 30

rehabilitated California sea lions

(Zalophus californianus) by injection

with experimental immobilization drugs

and a maximum of 3 for unintentional

mortality. All takes will be over a 5-year

period.

The permit holder requests an

amendment to the permit to take an

additional 25 juvenile Stellers to

adequately describe the basic life

history and ecology of this age class.

In compliance with the National
