NATIONAL INVENTORY OF MARINE MAMMALS
INSTITUTIONAL CONTACTS
The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA) (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.)
requires that persons holding permanently captive 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. Animals held for scientific research
or/and enhancement are also included in the inventory, as are animals held for national defense
purposes by the Navy.
1. Please read all of the instructions before filling out this form.
2. The Owner is the entity with the legal title to the marine mammals at your institution. The
Facility is the physical location of the animals. An Owner and Facility may be the same entity;
if so, please select both under ‘Institution’ in Section I.
3. The Responsible Official is the individual responsible for and who has the signatory authority
for marine mammal custody decisions for or as the owner, or animal care and disposition at the
facility. The Primary Contact is the registrar or other person responsible for maintaining the
marine mammal inventory records for the owner or 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.
4. Institutional contact data submitted by email, fax, or mail will be entered into the National
Inventory of Marine Mammals (NIMM).
5. Documentation required for this information collection is subject to the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA). Personal or sensitive information that is subject to the Privacy Act will
be redacted under FOIA.

Silver Spring, MD 20910).
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes per
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, search existing data sources, gathering
and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information to
complete this form. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the National Marine
Fisheries Service, Office of Protected Resources, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD
20910. Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor
shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information
subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number.
