Assessment Report 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of draft 

revised marine mammal stock 

assessment reports for two stocks of 

West Indian manatee; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, 

as amended (MMPA), and its 

implementing regulations, we, the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), 

have developed a draft revised marine 

mammal stock assessment report (SAR) 

for each of the two West Indian manatee 

stocks in the southeastern United States 

and Puerto Rico: The Florida manatee 

(Trichechus manatus latirostris) stock 

and the Puerto Rico stock of Antillean 

manatee (Trichechus manatus 

manatus). Both are available for public 

review and comment. 

DATES: We must receive comments by 

September 10, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: To obtain the SARs for 

either or both of the West Indian 

manatee subspecies, and to submit 

comments, see Document Availability 

and Public Comment, respectively,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et 

seq.) and its implementing regulations 

in the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) at 50 CFR part 18, we regulate the 

taking, possession, transportation, 

purchasing, selling, offering for sale, 

exporting, and importing of marine 

mammals. One of the MMPA’s goals is 

to ensure that stocks of marine 

mammals occurring in waters under 

U.S. jurisdiction do not experience a 

level of human-caused mortality and 

serious injury that is likely to cause the 

stock to be reduced below its optimum 

sustainable population level (OSP). OSP 

is defined as ‘‘the number of animals 

which will result in the maximum 

productivity of the population or the
