SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject amendment to Permit No. 16609 is 
requested under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 
1972, as amended (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 (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), and the Fur 
Seal Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.).
    Permit No. 16609, issued on April 27, 2017 (82 FR 29053), 
authorizes the receipt, import, and export of biological samples to 
establish and bank cell lines from any species of cetacean, pinniped, 
or sea turtle, including ESA-listed species, from up to 30 individuals 
of each species. The permit holder is requesting to amend the 
authorization to increase the annual number of samples to 60 
individuals of each species, for receipt, import, and export to fulfill 
a new research objective to perform contaminant analysis.
    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 this application to the Marine 
Mammal Commission and its Committee of Scientific Advisors.

Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
