SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 5, 2010, notice was published 

in the Federal Register (75 FR 61424) 

that a request for an enhancement 

permit to take shortnose sturgeon had 

been submitted by the North Carolina 

Aquarium at Fort Fisher. The requested 

permit has been issued under the 

authority of the Endangered Species Act 

of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.) and the regulations 

governing the taking, importing, and 

exporting of endangered and threatened 

species (50 CFR parts 222–226). 

The North Carolina Aquarium at Fort 

Fisher has been issued a permit to 

continue enhancement activities 

previously authorized under Permit No. 

1273. Activities include the continued 

maintenance and educational display of 

five captive-bred, non-releaseable adult 

shortnose sturgeon. The permit does not 

authorize any takes from the wild, nor 

does it authorize any release of captive 

sturgeon into the wild. The permit is 

issued for a duration of 5 years. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit (1) was applied for in good 

faith, (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.
