----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 18, 2009, the Service issued an amendment to a permit
(PRT- 801652) to the U.S. Geological Survey, to increase the number of
walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) that may be incidentally harassed by the
already authorized activities for the purpose of scientific research.
We issued the amendment to the permit prior to the close of the public
comment period because we found that delaying the issuance of the
permit would result in the loss of a unique research opportunity that
is present at this time. This action was authorized under section
104(c)(3)(A) of the MMPA. We will continue to accept and consider all
comments regarding the amendment request through the close of the
comment period as published in the September 17, 2009, receipt of
application Federal Register notice (FR 74 FR 47821).
