In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final determination has been made that the
activities proposed are categorically excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement.
Authority
Scientific research permits are issued in accordance with section
10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and regulations
governing listed fish and wildlife permits (50 CFR 222-226). NMFS
issues permits based on finding that such permits: (1) are applied for
in good faith; (2) if granted and exercised, would not operate to the
disadvantage of the listed species that are the subject of the permit;
and, (3) are consistent with the purposes and policy of section 2 of
the ESA. The authority to take listed species is subject to conditions
set forth in the permits.
Dated: August 22, 2023.

Chief, Endangered Species Division, Office of Protected Resources,
National Marine Fisheries Service.
