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

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226), and the Fur Seal 

Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 

et seq.). 

The above listed applicant requests a 

five-year permit to conduct scientific 

research on cetaceans year-round within 

the Gulf of Alaska. The purpose of this 

research is to improve understanding of 

the foraging behavior, prey use, and 

habitat overlap among sympatric whale 

species throughout their habitat. All 

research will involve non-lethal take 

using vessels to collect identification 

photographs, recording of vocalizations, 

biopsy sampling, prey parts, sloughed 

skin, suction cup attachment of tags and 

documenting behavioral response to 

acoustic deterrents. The species and 

annual takes requested for these 

research activities include: Humpback 

whales (Megaptera novaeangliae; 1000); 

Fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus; 

1000); Killer whales (Orcinus orca; 

1000); Gray whales (Eschrichtius 

robustus; 1000); Sei whales 

(Balaenoptera borealis; 70); North 

Pacific Right whales (Eubaelana 

glacialis; 50); Sperm whales (Physeter 

macrocephalus; 70); Minke whales 

(Balaenoptera acutorostrata; 70); and 

Blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus; 

50). Additionally, up to 100 of each of 

the following species: Harbor Porpoise 

(Phocoena phocoena), Dall’s porpoise 

(Phocoena dalli), and Pacific whitesided dolphins (Lagenorhynchus 

obliquidens), and up to 50 of Northern 

Fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus), Harbor 

seals (Phoca vitulina), Steller sea lion 

(Eumetopias jubatus) are requested to be 

taken annually, per species, by 

incidental harassment. Finally, the 

applicant requests to transport up to 50 

biological samples from each species 

group (pinniped and cetacean) for 

archived storage or analysis. 

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 the 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additions 

On 9/26/2014 (79 FR 57890–57891) 

and 10/10/2014 (79 FR 61296), the 

Committee for Purchase From People

published notice of proposed additions 

to the Procurement List. 

After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 

the products and impact of the 

additions on the current or most recent 

contractors, the Committee has 

determined that the products listed 

below are suitable for procurement by 

the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 

8501–8506 and 41 CFR 51–2.4. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

I certify that the following action will 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The major factors considered for this 

certification were: 

1. The action will not result in any 

additional reporting, recordkeeping or 

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small 

organizations that will furnish the 

products to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to furnish the 

products to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in 

connection with the products proposed 

for addition to the Procurement List. 

End of Certification
