FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shasta McClenahan, Ph.D. or Sara

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.) and the regulations governing the taking
and importing of marine mammals (50 CFR part 216).
The applicant proposes to film pinnipeds in Washington for a film
about the foraging and hunting behavior of harbor seals (Phoca
vitulina). Pinnipeds may be filmed from land, an unmanned aircraft
system, and underwater via a stationary camera, pole camera, or
snorkelers. Up to 450 harbor seals and 90 California sea lions
(Zalophus californianus) may be filmed annually. The permit would be
valid for two years.
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.
