-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On Tuesday, September 21, 1993, notice was published in the 
Federal Register (58 FR 49024) that an application (P2Y) had been filed 
by Sea World, Inc. for a permit to import one adult male killer whale 
(Orcinus orca) identified as ``Ulysses'' from the Barcelona Zoo in 
Barcelona, Spain.
    Notice is hereby given that on January 4, 1994, as authorized by 
the provisions of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) of 1972 (16 
U.S.C. 1361 et. seq.) the NMFS issued a permit for the above activities 
subject to the special conditions set forth therein.
    Issuance of this permit is based on a finding that the proposed 
taking is consistent with the purposes and policy of the MMPA. The NMFS 
has determined that Sea World, Inc. offers an acceptable program for 
education or conservation purposes. Sea World, Inc. facilities are open 
the public on a regularly scheduled basis and access to these 
facilities is not limited or restricted other than by the charging of 
an admission fee.
    The permit is available for review by appointment in the following 
offices:
