SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

1531 et seq.), and the regulations 

governing the taking, importing, and 

exporting of endangered and threatened 

species (50 CFR 222–226). 

A scientific research permit 

application was submitted by Dr. Isaac 

Wirgin of the New York University 

School of Medicine, Department of 

Environmental Medicine, to conduct 

research on Atlantic and shortnose 

sturgeon. Dr. Wirgin is requesting to 

conduct a study to determine if early 

life-stages of Atlantic and shortnose 

sturgeon are sensitive to PCB mixtures 

such that the effects would impact 

recruitment success in the environment, 

such as in the Hudson River. He needs 

an ESA permit to import and take up to 

25,000 fertilized shortnose sturgeon eggs 

of Saint John River ancestry from 

Acadian Sturgeon and Caviar Inc., Saint 

John, NB, Canada. If required, shortnose 

sturgeon eggs could also be 

supplemented with embryos of 

Connecticut River descent obtained 

from the Conte Lab, USGS, Turner Falls, 

MA (NMFS Permit 1549–01). 

The initial proposed research would 

take place during two sampling seasons 

beginning in the spring of 2010 and 

ending in the spring of 2011. In 

subsequent years of the permit, studies 

would take place evaluating toxic effects 

of other contaminants. The permit 

would not authorize any takes from the 

wild, nor would it authorize any release 

of captive sturgeon into the wild.

the Act, measure State-Federal 

cooperation, and evaluate the 

effectiveness of the overall absentee 

voting program. The information 

collected is used for overall program
