SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On Wednesday, July 19, 1995, notice was
published in the Federal Register (60 FR 37054) that an application had
been filed by the Children's Museum, Canadian Museum of Civilization,
100 Laurier Street, Hull, Quebec J8X 4H2 Canada. A scientific research
permit was requested to import 24 handicraft artifacts made all or in
part from Harp seal (Phoca groenlandica) for participation in a
travelling exhibit at seven U.S. children's museums from July 1995 -
October 1997. Upon the basis of further review of the application and
the comments received, NMFS believes the applicant more appropriately
meets the public display criteria and therefore has issued a public
display permit subject to the provisions of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the Regulations
Governing the Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals (50 CFR part 216),
