and importing of marine mammals (50 CFR part 216).
    The applicant proposes to conduct physiology research on up to 5 
harbor seals (over the life of the project) at the Texas A&M Institute 
of Preclinical Studies in College Station, TX. Animals will be 
transported from the Moody Gardens Aquarium in Galveston, TX, or other 
cooperating public display facilities to be determined. The object is 
to simultaneous measure heart rate and complete regional blood flow to 
tissues and organs during rest, and voluntary dives with and without 
exercise. Blood flow will be measured using stable isotopes and heart 
rate will be measured with an ECG recorder. One mortality over the life 
of the project is requested. 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.
