The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA) (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) requires that
persons holding marine mammals submit certain information to the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS). Under the MMPA, NMFS is required to maintain an inventory of all marine mammals held for
public display purposes and scientific research/enhancement (i.e., all marine mammals held captive except
for those in captivity before December 21, 1972). In order to maintain the inventory, contact information
for permit holders, facilities, and responsible individuals is needed by NMFS. In addition to receiving
information about marine mammal inventories, NMFS also provides periodic updates back to the holders
and facilities so that the inventories can be verified. Use of this form will ensure that MMPA-required
information is submitted in a consistent manner, that the NMFS inventory of captive marine mammals is
accurate and up-to-date, and that holders and facilities can verify their inventories.
1. Please read all of the instructions before filling out this form.
2. If you are receiving this form for the first time or if it is being sent to you for updating, please fill out
the appropriate blank sections (I, II, and/or III) in red (if filling out by hand).
3. The Responsible Official is the individual who is responsible for and who has the signatory authority
for marine mammal custody decisions. The Primary Contact is the registrar or other person responsible
for maintaining the marine mammal inventory records at the facility. The Responsible Official and the
Primary Contact can be the same person, but should be noted in both Sections II and III. Please mail this
form to the address listed below.
4. All documentation required for this information collection is considered public information and as such,
subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). No assurance of confidentiality is provided.
