discussion through the Technical Report 

Sessions that take place at the NFPA 

Annual Meeting. 

The Technical Report Session 

provides an opportunity for the final 

Technical Committee Report (i.e., the 

ROP and ROC) on each proposed new 

or revised code or standard to be 

presented to the NFPA membership for 

the debate and consideration of motions 

to amend the Report. Before making an 

allowable motion at a Technical Report 

Session, the intended maker of the 

motion must file, in advance of the 

session, and within the published 

deadline, a Notice of Intent to Make a 

Motion. A Motions Committee 

appointed by the Standards Council 

then reviews all notices and certifies all 

amending motions that are proper. Only 

these Certified Amending Motions, 

together with certain allowable FollowUp Motions (that is, motions that have 

become necessary as a result of previous 

successful amending motions) will be 

allowed at the Technical Report 

Session. 

The specific rules for the types of 

motions that can be made are who can 

make them are set forth in NFPA’s 

Regulation Governing Committee 

Projects which should always be 

consulted by those wishing to bring an 

issue before the membership at a 

Technical Report Session. 

Interested persons may submit 

proposals, supported by written data, 

views, or arguments to Casey C. Grant, 

Secretary, Standards Council, NFPA, 1 

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, 

Massachusetts 02269–7471. Proposals 

should be submitted on forms available 

from the NFPA Codes and Standards 

Administration Office or on NFPA’s 

Web site at www.nfpa.org. 

Each person must include his or her 

name and address, identify the 

document and give reasons for the 

proposal. Proposals received before or 

by 5 p.m. local time on the closing date 

indicated would be acted on by the 

Committee. The NFPA will consider any 

proposal that it receives on or before the 

date listed with the codes or standard.

ACTION: Notice; issuance of permit. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

Kristen M. Hart, Ph.D, United States 

Geologic Survey, Florida Integrated 

Science Center, Center for Coastal and 

Watershed Studies, has been issued a 

permit to take green (Chelonia mydas), 

Kemp’s ridley (Lepidochelys kempii), 

loggerhead (Caretta caretta), and 

hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) sea 

turtles for purposes of scientific 

research. 

ADDRESSES: The permit and related 

documents are available for review 

upon written request or by appointment 

in the following office(s): 

Permits, Conservation and Education 

Division, Office of Protected Resources,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patrick Opay or Kate Swails, (301)713–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

12, 2005, notice was published in the 

Federal Register (70 FR 40004) that a 

request for a scientific research permit 

to take green, Kemp’s ridley, loggerhead, 

and hawksbill sea turtles had been 

submitted by the applicant. The 

requested permit has been issued under 

the authority of 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). 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 221 / Thursday, November 17, 2005 / Notices 69743 

Researchers will capture up to 106 

green, 1 Kemp’s ridley, 1 loggerhead, 

and 1 hawksbill sea turtles by tended 

pound-net or dip-net over the course of 

the three year permit. All turtles will be 

measured, weighed, blood sampled, 

flipper tagged, Passive Integrated 

Transponder tagged, fecal sampled if 

large enough, and released. All green 

turtles will be gastric lavaged. A subset 

of green turtles will also have a satellite 

transmitter or sonic and radio receivers 

attached to their carapace. The research 

will gather information on turtle habitat, 

genetic origin, size and age composition, 

species distribution, and health status. 

This information will be used to 

develop conservation management 

measures for these species. The research 

will occur in the waters of the Big Sable 

Creek complex in southwest Florida. 

The permit is issued for a 3–year period. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit (1) was applied for in good 

faith, (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of any endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

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.). 

The Alliance of Marine Mammal 

Parks and Aquariums members 

participate in multiple research and 

husbandry programs with the overall 

objective to study and document the 

health and biology of wild marine 

mammals as well as those marine 

mammals maintained in public display, 

research, or stranding facilities. To fully 

achieve this objective, the applicant is 

requesting a permit to import/export 

parts and specimen samples (hard and 

soft parts) collected from all species of 

marine mammals (all cetaceans and 

pinnipeds, except for walrus). The 

majority of the specimens will be 

obtained from animals maintained in 

Alliance member facilities for public 

display. However, specimens from 

stranded animals and those involved in 

legally authorized research projects 

would also be covered by this permit. 

Topics of particular interest include 

diseases of marine mammals, effects of 

environmental contaminants, artificial 

insemination, stock structure, age 

determination, mortality 

determinations, pregnancy rates, calf 

production, feeding habits and 

nutrition, and distribution. Parts and 

specimen samples may be taken at any 

time during the year and in all areas 

worldwide. 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 this 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.
