+			<p type="2">SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:</p>
+			<p type="1">The subject permits and permit amendment are requested
+				under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as
+				amended (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 .), the regulations governing the taking, importing, and
+				exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR 222-226), and
+				the Fur Seal Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et seq .)</p>
+			<p type="2">Applications for Permits Received</p>
+			<p type="1">For Application No. 42-1642, the applicant requests
+				permission to study metabolic clearance rates of vitamins A and E
+				using isotope tracers and vitamin analogs in captive Steller sea
+				lions, relation to various life history stages, establish the
+				vitamin A and E status of free-ranging Steller sea lions, determine
+				the metabolic requirements for these vitamins by relating intake to
+				blood levels in captive specimens, and receive or import serum and
+				milk samples from captive marine mammals held in facilities within
+				the United States and abroad to study the disease hemochromatosis
+				(an excessive accumulation of iron in tissues often associated with
+				hepatic lesions) as well as others associated with general marine
+				mammal health.</p>
+			<p type="1">
+				For Application No. 555-1638, the applicant requests permission to
+				conduct research on 22 cetacean species and 5 pinniped species in
+				the North Pacific Ocean along the coasts of
+				<research_location woeId="2347563" type="State"
+					name="California, US">California</research_location>
+				,
+				<research_location woeId="2347596" type="State"
+					name="Oregon, US">Oregon</research_location>
+				, Washington, and
+				<research_location woeId="2347560" type="State"
+					name="Alaska, US">Alaska</research_location>
+				(below the Aleutian Islands) in order to study the following:
+				distribution and abundance related to environmental factors; prey
+				and foraging behaviors; health and stock structure of individuals;
+				effects of anthropogenic factors (i.e., vessel noise) on acoustic
+				signals; and movements of individuals or pods during migrations or
+				within their home range. This research will be accomplished using
+				aerial and shipboard line-transect survey methods, monitoring of
+				radio-tagged individuals, recording behavior and vocalizations,
+				collecting biopsy samples from cetaceans, and collecting blood and
+				morphometric measurements from small cetaceans and pinnipeds.
+			</p>
+			<p type="1">
+				For Application No. 782-1645, the applicant requests permission to
+				capture and attach radio-telemetry devices to harbor porpoises (
+				<species_scientific name="Phocoena phocoena">Phocoena phocoena
+				</species_scientific>
+				) off the coasts of
+				<research_location woeId="2347596" type="State"
+					name="Oregon, US">Oregon</research_location>
+				and Washington to monitor the movements of tagged animals relative
+				to current stock boundaries, and to collect blubber biopsies to
+				determine organochlorine contaminant burdens.
+			</p>
+			<p type="2">Application to Amend a Permit Received</p>
+			<p type="1">
+				For Permit No. 376-1520-01, the Permit authorizes the Holder to
+				approach a variety of cetacean species to conduct
+				photo-identification and behavioral observations. The approach
+				distances in the permit are currently limited to : within 100 ft (31
+				m) by vessel, 200 ft (61 m) directly above and 350 ft (107 m) slant
+				range by aircraft for all species except North Atlantic right whales
+				(
+				<species_scientific name="Eubalaena glacialis">Eubalaena glacialis
+				</species_scientific>
+				), and within 700 ft (213 m) directly above and at slant range in
+				fixed- and rotary-winged aircraft, and 500 ft (152 m) directly above
+				and 350 ft (107 m) slant range using an aerostat (blimp) for right
+				whales. The holder now requests permission to approach North
+				<research_location woeId="12589258" type="County"
+					name="Atlantic, NJ, US">Atlantic</research_location>
+				right whales within 100 ft (31 m) in a variety of small vessels,
+				including kayaks, for the purpose of photo-identification.
+			</p>
+			<p type="1">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 activities proposed are categorically excluded from
+				the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or
+				environmental impact statement.</p>
+			<p type="1">Written comments or requests for a public hearing on any of
+				these applications should be mailed to the Chief, Permits and
+				Documentation Division, F/PR1, Office of Protected Resources, NMFS,
+				1315 East-West Highway, Room 13705, Silver Spring, MD 20910. Those
+				individuals requesting a hearing should set forth the specific
+				reasons why a hearing on the particular request would be
+				appropriate.</p>
+			<p type="1">Comments may also be submitted by facsimile at (301)
+				713-0376, provided the facsimile is confirmed by hard copy submitted
+				by mail and postmarked no later than the closing date of the comment
+				period. Please note that comments will not be accepted by e-mail or
+				by other electronic media.</p>
+			<p type="1">Concurrent with the publication of this notice in the
+				Federal Register, NMFS is forwarding copies of these applications to
+				the Marine Mammal Commission and its Committee of Scientific
+				Advisors.</p>
