Marine Mammals; File No. 17845 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance of permit. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a 

permit has been issued to Rachel 

Cartwright, Keiki Kohola Project, 761 

Coronado Place, Oxnard, CA 93035 to 

conduct research on humpback whales 

(Megaptera novaeangliae). 

ADDRESSES: The permit and related 

documents are available for review 

upon written request or by appointment 

in the following offices: See 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kristy Beard or Carrie Hubard, 

(301)427–8401. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

9, 2013, notice was published in the 

Federal Register (78 FR 21113) that a 

request for a permit to conduct research 

on the species identified above had been 

submitted by the above-named 

applicant. The requested permit 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 authorizes the level A and 

B harassment of humpback whales 

during photo-identification, behavioral 

follows, and surface and underwater 

observations in Hawaii, Alaska, and 

California. The applicant will approach 

up to 1,047 humpback whales in 

Hawaii, 630 in Alaska and 480 in 

California each year. Short-term, noninvasive, suction cup tagging of 

maternal females will be conducted 

within Hawaiian waters to document 

nocturnal behaviors and fine-scale 

movements and in Californian waters to 

better understand use of waters around 

the Santa Barbara Channel and Channel 

Islands (Anacapa, Santa Cruz and Santa 

Rosa Islands). Twelve tags would be 

deployed annually in both Hawaii and 

California. The purpose of the proposed 

research is to identify and define critical 

habitat used by maternal female 

humpback whales and their calves, 

across the period from infancy to 

maturity and independence. 

Opportunistic research on Pacific whitesided dolphins (Lagenorhynchus 

obliquidens), Risso’s dolphins (Grampus 

griseus), Dall’s porpoise (Phocoenoides 

dalli), blue whales (Balaenoptera 

musculus), killer whales (Orcinus orca), 

minke whales (B. acutorostrata), 

spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris), 

bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops 

truncatus), and false killer whales 

(Pseudorca crassidens) may also be 

conducted. Incidental harassment of 

Steller (Eumetopias jubatus) and 

California sea lions (Zalophus 

californianus) would also occur. The 

permit is valid for five years from the 

date of issuance. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final 

determination has been made that the 

activity proposed is categorically 

excluded from the requirement to 

prepare an environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement. 

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.

authorizing small entities to furnish the
