SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject amendment to Permit No. 21158 

is requested 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). 

Permit No. 21158, issued on 

September 25, 2017, (82 FR 48985), 

authorizes the permit holder to conduct 

long-term studies of the Erebus Bay, 

Antarctica, Weddell seal population to 

evaluate how temporal variation in the 

marine environment affects individual 

life histories and the population 

dynamics of long-lived mammal. The 

permit holder is requesting the permit 

be amended to increase the number of 

seal pups authorized to be flipper tagged 

from a total of 675 (take table lines 1 

[n=515], 2 [n=10], and 3 [n=150]) to a 

total take of 800 pups, by increasing the 

number of takes in line 1 from 515 to 

640. This field season the research team 

has observed an abnormally high 

number of pups and current take 

numbers are not be adequate to meet the 

stated scientific goals of tagging all pups 

produced in the Erebus Bay colonies 

each year. 

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 this 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.
