SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject amendment to Permit No. 14450 

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 parts 222–226). 

Permit No. 14450, issued on March 4, 

2014 (79 FR 13042), authorizes the 

permit holder to take all cetacean 

species that occur in U.S. and 

international waters of the Atlantic 

Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean 

Sea by harassment during aerial and 

vessel-based line-transect sampling, 

acoustic sampling, behavioral 

observations, and vessel-based photoidentification and biopsy sampling. 

Tissue samples collected in other 

countries may be imported into the U.S. 

The permit is valid for five years from 

the date of issuance. 

The permit holder is requesting the 

permit be amended to include 

authorization for takes by harassment 

during satellite tagging to support 

NMFS stock assessment research on 

ESA-listed large whales that occur in 

U.S. and international waters of the 

western North Atlantic. Up to four 

attempts would be made to attach a tag 

to an animal. Directed satellite tagging 

efforts would be conducted to tag 20 

sperm whales and 5 North Atlantic right 

whales. Opportunistic tagging would 

occur of 10 fin, 5 blue, 5 sei, and 10 

humpback whales when encountered 

during other SEFSC assessment surveys. 

Only adults would be tagged. The 

expiration date of the permit would not 

change. 

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.
