Marine Mammals; File No.18727; 

Correction 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration 

Commerce, NOAA. 

ACTION: Notice of receipt of application; 

Correction. 

SUMMARY: On October 30, 2014, a notice 

was published in the Federal Register 

announcing that the University of 

Alaska Museum of the North, 907 

Yukon Drive, Fairbanks, AK 99775– 

6960 (Aren Gunderson, Responsible 

Party), had applied in due form for a 

permit to collect, import and export 

specimens of marine mammals for 

scientific research. That document 

inadvertently provided incorrect 

requested take numbers. This document 

corrects that oversight. 

DATES: Written, telefaxed, or email 

comments must be received on or before 

January 7, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brendan Hurley or Jennifer Skidmore, 

(301) 427–8401. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice 

for File No. 18727 (79 FR 64571; 

October 30, 2014) contained incorrect 

take numbers associated with the 

collection, receipt, import, and export of 

samples under the proposed action. 

Accordingly, the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section is corrected to read 

as follows: 

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.). 

File No. 18727: The University of 

Alaska Museum of the North functions 

as an archive for scientific specimens of 

marine mammals under the jurisdiction 

of the National Marine Fisheries and is 

a major repository of marine mammal 

material from the Arctic and North 

Pacific oceans. Under the proposed 

permit, the applicant would (1) import/ 

export marine mammal parts (bones and 

organ tissue samples) from dead beachcast carcasses, (2) receive/archive and 

export samples of marine mammals 

taken by Alaskan Native subsistence 

hunters, and (3) receive, import/export 

specimens from scientists in academic, 

federal, and state institutions involved 

in marine mammal research under their 

own permits. Unlimited samples from 

up to 2000 pinnipeds (excluding 

walrus) and 600 cetaceans would be 

collected, received, imported, or 

exported annually. Import/export 

activities would occur world-wide. No 

live animals would be harassed or 

taken, lethally or otherwise, under the 

requested permit. The permit is 

requested for a five-year period. 

All other information contained in the 

document is unchanged.

ACTION: Notice of issuance of permit 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a 

major amendment to Permit No. 15324 

has been issued to the Alaska 

Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), 

Division of Wildlife Conservation, 

Juneau, AK (Responsible Party: Robert

ADDRESSES: The permit amendment and 

related documents are available for

appointment in the Permits and 

Conservation Division, Office of

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy Sloan or Courtney Smith, (301) 

427–8401. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

4, 2014, notice was published in the 

Federal Register (79 FR 18890) that a 

request for an amendment Permit No. 

15324 to conduct research on pinniped 

species in Alaska had been submitted by 

the above-named applicant. The 

requested permit amendment has been 

issued under the authority of the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as 

amended (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.), and the regulations governing 

the taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226). 

Permit No. 15324–01 authorizes the 

permit holder to take spotted (Phoca 

largha), ringed (Phoca hispida), bearded 

(Erignathus barbatus), and ribbon seals 

(Histriophoca fasciata) in the Bering, 

Chukchi, and Beaufort seas of Alaska to 

monitor the status and health of each 

species by analyzing biological samples 

from the subsistence harvest and live 

captured seals, and by documenting 

movements and habitat use by tracking 

animals with satellite transmitters. The 

permit authorizes harassment of nontarget seals of each species and a limited 

number of research-related mortalities. 

Samples may be imported from Russia, 

Canada, Svalbard (Norway) and 

exported to Canada for analyses. The 

permit was amended to include: (1) 

Takes by harassment during aerial and 

vessel surveys to monitor seal 

distribution relative to changes in sea 

ice; (2) increased takes by incidental 

harassment; (3) the use of additional 

sedative drugs during capture activities; 

and (4) the use of remote dart-delivery 

as a method for capturing bearded seals. 

The amended permit is valid through 

December 31, 2016. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final 

determination has been made that the 

activity proposed is categorically 

excluded from the requirement to 

prepare an environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement. 

As required by the ESA, issuance of 

this permit was based on a finding that 

such permit: (1) Was applied for in good 

faith; (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered 

species; and (3) is consistent with the 

purposes and policies set forth in 

section 2 of the ESA.
