subsidies. We hereby provide the 

Department’s quarterly update of 

subsidies on articles of cheese that were 

imported during the period October 1, 

2010, through December 31, 2010. The 

Department has developed, in 

consultation with the Secretary of

articles of cheese subject to an in-quota 

rate of duty. The appendix to this notice 

lists the country, the subsidy program or

amounts of each subsidy for which 

information is currently available. The 

Department will incorporate additional 

programs which are found to constitute 

subsidies, and additional information 

on the subsidy programs listed, as the 

information is developed. 

The Department encourages any

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Malcolm Mohead or Colette Cairns, 

(301) 713–2289. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested 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 222–226). 

The primary objective of the proposed 

research would remain unchanged from 

the original permit: to collect data on 

the biology, distribution and abundance 

of the endangered smalltooth sawfish to 

facilitate recovery of the species. 

Sampling with the goal of taking 45 

smalltooth sawfish per year is currently 

authorized by longline, gillnet, seine 

net, drum (set) lines, or rod and reel 

throughout Florida’s coastal waters, but 

primarily in the region of the Florida 

coast from Naples to Key West, 

encompassing the Ten Thousand 

Islands. All captured sawfish are also 

authorized to be handled, measured, 

tagged, sampled, and released alive. 

Tagging methods include rototags (fin 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2011 / Notices 14651 

tags), plastic headed dart tags, umbrella 

dart tags, Passive Integrated 

Transponder (PIT) tags, acoustic tags 

(transmitters), Pop-Up Archival 

transmitting (PAT) tags, and Smart 

Position Only Transmitting (SPOT) tags. 

Sampling also includes a small genetic 

tissue fin clip and blood sample. 

Finally, dead sawfish acquired through 

strandings or from law enforcement 

confiscations are also measured and 

sampled for scientific purposes. 

To increase tag retention and provide 

less invasive tagging techniques, the 

applicant is now requesting to replace 

plastic rototags, used to secure VEMCO 

acoustic transmitters, with neoprene 

clasp tags; and nylon umbrella darts, 

used to secure PAT tags, with dorsal fin 

harnesses. SPOT tags would also be 

excluded as a tagging method. Better 

data collection could provide increased 

insight into habitat usage pattern and 

accomplish actions items identified in 

the recovery plan for the species.
