(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the regulations governing the taking
and importing of marine mammals (50 CFR part 216), the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and the
regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50 CFR parts 222-226).
The applicant requests a 5-year research permit to conduct

applicant would create and maintain cell lines from a total of 10
individual cetaceans representing 5 different species. The cell lines
may be sent to Co-Investigators, including export to foreign countries.
In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

the activity proposed is categorically excluded from the requirement to

Mammal Commission and its Committee of Scientific Advisors.
