steelhead annually. Permit 14685 

expires on December 31, 2015. 

Permit 14688 was issued to Natural 

Resource Scientists, Incorporated on 

September 21, 2010, authorizing the 

capture (by fyke net), handling 

(identification and enumeration of 

species, taking of length measurements), 

tissue sampling, release of moribund 

fish or fish carcasses back into irrigation 

diversion canals, and release of live fish 

on the riverside of the canals of ESAlisted juvenile salmonids and sturgeon. 

Permit 14688 authorizes non-lethal take 

during the collection of physical, 

hydraulic, and habitat data at five 

irrigation diversion canals; the research 

of fish entrainiment in relation to 

diverted river flows; and the 

development of prioritization criteria for 

fish screening projects. Permit 14688 

expires on December 31, 2011. 

NMFS has determined that take levels 

authorized in the described permits will 

not jeopardize listed Chinook salmon, 

steelhead, and green sturgeon nor result 

in the destruction or adverse 

modification of critical habitat where 

described. NMFS’ conditions in the 

permits will ensure that the take of ESAlisted anadromous fish will not 

jeopardize the continued existence of 

the listed species. Issuance of each 

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 any 

endangered or threatened species, and 

(3) is consistent with the purposes and 

policies set forth in section 2 of the 

ESA.

NMFS to issue new permits for the 

American Samoa pelagic longline 

limited entry program if the number of 

permits in a size class falls below the 

maximum allowed. At least seven 

permits are available for issuance (note 

that the number of available permits 

may change before the application 

period closes): four in Class A (vessels 

less than or equal to 40 ft (12.2 m)), and 

three in Class B (over 40 ft (12.2 m) 

through 50 ft (15.2 m)). 

Persons with the earliest documented 

participation in the fishery on a Class A 

sized vessel will receive the highest 

priority for obtaining permits in any size 

class, followed by persons with the 

earliest documented participation in 

Classes B, C, and D, in that order. If 

there is a tie in priority, the person with 

the second earliest documented 

participation will be ranked higher in 

priority.
