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,
enhancement, and national defense purposes by the Navy are also included in the inventory.
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 via this form 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.
QUESTIONS? If you need assistance completing this form or would like to submit a completed
form, please contact the Permits and Conservation Division via:
a. Email (NIMM.Inventory@noaa.gov);
b. Phone (301-427-8401); or
c. Mail (NMFS Permits and Conservation Division (F/PR1), 1315 East-West Hwy,
Silver Spring, MD 20910).
A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor
shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with an information collection subject
to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 unless the information collection has
a currently valid OMB Control Number. The approved OMB Control Number for this
information collection is 0648-0084. Without this approval, we could not conduct this
information collection. Public reporting for this information collection is estimated to be
approximately 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing
the information collection. All responses to this information collection are required for marine
mammal inventory reporting purposes pursuant to the MMPA. Send comments regarding this
burden estimate or any other aspect of this information collection, including suggestions for
reducing this burden, to the Chief, Permits and Conservation Division, Office of Protected
Resources, F/PR1, NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver
Spring, MD 20910; email NIMM.Inventory@noaa.gov.
