Road, SW., Tacoma, WA 98498; the

National Marine Fisheries Service,

National Marine Mammal Laboratory,

7600 Sand Point Way, NE., BIN C15700

- Building 1, Seattle, WA 98115–0070;

and the Oregon Department of Fish and

Wildlife, Marine Region, Marine

Science Drive, Building 3, Newport, OR

97365, have been granted a modification

to permit no. 835.

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

The permit issued to the Washington

Department of Wildlife, the National

Marine Mammal Laboratory, and the

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife

has been modified three times. The

National Marine Fisheries Service

determined that a public comment

period was not necessary because no

procedure resulted in additional takes

being requested and the risk to the

animals involved was not expected to

increase.

subject modification to permit no. 835,

issued on April 27, 1993 (58 FR 26288),

is requested under the authority of the

Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,

Importing of Marine Mammals (50 CFR

1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et

seq.), and the Regulations Governing the

Taking, Importing, and Exporting of

Endangered Fish and Wildlife (50 CFR

Permit No. 835 authorizes the permit

holder for the inadvertent harassment of

harbor seals (Phoca vitulina), California

sea lions (Zalophus californianus),

Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus),

and elephant seals (Mirounga

angustirostris) incidental to the conduct

of aerial, ground, and boat surveys. The

holders are also authorized to capture,

mark, tag, brand, and sample harbor

seals.

The permit holders have been granted

the following modifications to their

permit: (a) The permit holders are

authorized to use a gas anesthetic on

California sea lions during blood

drawing and instrument attachment; (b)

to correct an unintentional omission

from the original permit, the permit

holders are now authorized to take 50

Dear Commissioner: Under the terms of

section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956,

as amended (7 U.S.C. 1854); pursuant to the

Bilateral Textile Agreement, effected by

exchange of notes dated May 24, 1991 and

between the Governments of the United

States and the Republic of Fiji; and in

accordance with the provisions of Executive

Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended,

you are directed to prohibit, effective on

April 3, 1995, entry into the United States for

consumption and withdrawal from

of restraint to the extent of any unfilled

above will be subject to adjustment in the

future pursuant to the provisions of the

Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and

notified to the Textiles Monitoring Body.

In carrying out the above directions, the

The Committee for the Implementation of

action falls within the foreign affairs

exception of the rulemaking provisions of 5

U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
