ACTION: Issuance of Public Display Permit No. 884.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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:
