SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject modification to Permit No. 

1596–02, issued on July 29, 2009 (74 FR 

38585), is requested under the authority 

of 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 222– 

226). 

Permit No. 1596–02 authorizes the 

SWFSC to capture, measure, weigh, 

blood and tissue sample, photograph, 

flipper and PIT tag, fat biopsy, 

ultrasound, satellite tag, and attach a 

VHF/TDR/sonic tag/video system, VHR/ 

TDR/sonic tag/GPS unit, or VHR/TDR/ 

sonic tag/GPS/video camera system to 

leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) sea 

turtles during research activities 

conducted off the western coast of the 

continental United States. Animals with 

the video camera system may be reapproached to collect the unit and then 

sampled, tagged, and have another 

video camera unit attached. The SWFSC 

requests authorization to use a direct tag 

attachment method in place of 

previously authorized harness 

attachments. These tags would provide 

valuable information on leatherback 

movements and behavior in the Pacific 

Ocean between their foraging areas and 

nesting beaches. No increase in the 

number of animals taken is requested. 

The research would continue to occur in 

waters off the coast of the western 

United States through February 1, 2012.
