AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Modification no. 2 to scientific

research permit no. 873 (P772#63).

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a

request for modification of scientific

research permit no. 873 submitted by

the Southwest Fisheries Science Center,

NMFS, P.O. Box 271, La Jolla, CA

92038–0271, has been granted.

ADDRESSES: The modification and

related documents are available for

review upon written request or by

appointment in the following offices:

Permits Division, Office of Protected

Resources, NMFS, 1315 East-West

Highway, Suite 13130, Silver Spring,

MD 20910 (301/713–2289); and

Director, Southwest Region, NMFS,

501 West Ocean Boulevard, Suite 4200,

Long Beach, CA 90802, (310/980–4016).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

February 15, 1995, notice was published

in the Federal Register (60 FR 8632)

that a modification of permit no. 873,

issued July 28, 1993 (58 FR 34038), had

been requested by the above-named

organization. The requested

modification has been granted under the

authority of the Marine Mammal

Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16

U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the provisions of

§ 216.33(d) and (e) of the Regulations

Governing the Taking and Importing of

Marine Mammals (50 CFR part 216), the

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA),

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and

the provisions of § 222.25 of the

Regulations Governing the Taking,

Importing, and Exporting of Endangered

Fish and Wildlife (50 CFR part 222).

Permit no. 873 authorized the permit

holder to biopsy several species of

cetaceans off the Pacific and Southern

Oceans, and to import biopsy tissues

collected outside of U.S. waters. The

permit has been modified to add several

additional species to the permit

authority, to import biopsy tissues from

these additional species, to expand the

study area to include the Indian Ocean,

to biopsy gray whales (including

animals accompanying calves), fin, sei,

minke, and right whales, and to employ

photo-identification and

photogrammetry techniques to study

both gray whales and the additional

species mentioned above.

Issuance of this modification, as

required by the ESA, was based on a

finding that such modification: (1) Was

applied for in good faith; (2) will not

operate to the disadvantage of the

endangered species which are the

subject of this permit; and (3) is

consistent with the purposes and

policies set forth in section 2 of the

ESA.
