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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a request for modification of 
scientific research permit No. 843 submitted by the Alaska Fisheries 
Science Center, NMFS, NOAA, National Marine Mammal Laboratory, 7600 
Sand Point Way, NE., Bldg. 4, Seattle, WA 98115, has been granted.

    Director, Alaska Region, NMFS, P.O. Box 21668, Juneau, AK 99802-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 13, 1994, notice was published in 
the Federal Register (59 FR 30345) that a modification of permit No. 
843, issued June 2, 1993 (58 FR 32520), had been requested by the 
above-named organization. The requested modification has been granted 
under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as 
amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and the provisions of Secs. 216.33(d) 
and (e) of the Regulations Governing the Taking and Importing of Marine 
Mammals (50 CFR part 216).
    Permit No. 843 has been modified to authorize the permit holder to 
capture and radio tag up to 50 harbor seals in order to determine a 
correction factor to be applied towards the number of seals at sea or 
moving between haulout sites, and thus missed by aerial surveys.

    Dated: August 2, 1994.

Director, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
