SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service), have issued permits to conduct certain activities with
marine mammals in response to permit applications that we received.
Section 104(c) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), specifies the conditions for
authorizing the taking or importation of a marine mammal for purposes
of scientific research, public display, or enhancing the survival or
recovery of a species or stock under the MMPA, providing that certain
conditions are met. A permit may be issued for public display purposes
to applicants which offers a program for education or conservation
purposes that meets professionally recognized standards of the public
display community, for which the applicant's facilities are open to the
public on a regularly scheduled basis and that access to the facilities
is not limited or restricted other than by charging of an admission
fee. A permit may be issued for scientific research purposes when the
taking is required to further a bona fide scientific purpose and does
not involve unnecessary duplication of research. This notice only
informs the public that, after going through a review of the submitted
application, the Service has determined that all the issuance criteria
of the MMPA have been met.
