and importing of marine mammals (50 CFR part 216).
The applicant proposes to import and export marine mammal parts
from South American fur seals (Arctocephalus australis) and South
American sea lions (Otaria flavescens) taken as part of population
health studies conducted in Peru. Annual import and export may include
samples from up to 100 adults and 200 pups of each species from live
animals, and salvaged samples from up to 200 naturally deceased animals
from each species. The requested duration of the permit is 5 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.
