Abstract
On May 24, 1999, NMFS published an interim final rule amending 50 CFR 216.23 to require that Alaskan Natives harvesting beluga whales in Cook Inlet collect the lower left jaw from harvested whales and complete a report (64 FR 27925). At that time, NMFS requested public comments on the rule and announced that a public hearing would be held as part of the process. NMFS announces the location, date, and time of the hearing.
