SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Species Covered in This Notice 

The following listed species are 

covered in this notice: 

Endangered black abalone (Haliotis 

cracherodii). 

Background 

Permit 19571–2R 

The NMFS Southwest Fisheries 

Science Center in La Jolla, California, 

has requested to renew for five years a 

research permit that currently allows 

them to hold, breed, and conduct lab 

studies on captive black abalone. Under 

the permit, researchers would continue 

to maintain healthy populations of black 

abalone in captive facilities throughout 

California and test broodstock 

conditioning and spawning methods at 

the NMFS Southwest Fisheries Science 

Center. 

The main purpose of the proposed 

research is to support recovery efforts by 

developing reliable spawning 

techniques to consistently produce high 

quality juvenile black abalone. The 

proposed research would examine: 

(1) Broodstock conditioning under 

different temperatures, diets, and 

photoperiod regimes; 

(2) Broodstock conditioning using 

hormones and simulated seasonal tidal 

cycles; 

(3) Spawning induction using 

dessication, thermal shock, hydrogen 

peroxide treatments, hormones, and 

seasonal tidal cycles; and 

(4) Growth and survival of captivelyproduced juveniles under different 

temperatures and diets. 

Activities would include captive 

holding, breeding, rearing, grow-out, lab 

experiments, epipodial tissue sampling, 

observation, and transport of black 

abalone. Black abalone are currently 

held at the Southwest Fisheries Science 

Center (SWFSC), the California 

Department of Fish and Wildlife 

Shellfish Health Laboratory, and the 

Monterey Bay Aquarium. The captive 

animals include pre-listed abalone that 

have been in captivity since before black 

abalone were listed as endangered 

under the ESA. Some of these were 

confiscated in law enforcement cases 

and some were collected as part of 

emergency response activities. 

Additional wild origin black abalone 

may be obtained through future 

confiscations and emergency response

activities that involve live black 

abalone. 

This notice is provided pursuant to 

section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will 

evaluate the application, associated 

documents, and comments submitted to 

determine whether the application 

meets the requirements of section 10(a) 

of the ESA and Federal regulations. The 

final permit decision will not be made 

until after the end of the 30-day 

comment period. NMFS will publish 

notice of its final action in the Federal 

Register. 

Authority 

Scientific research permits are issued 

in accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A) 

of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and 

regulations governing listed fish and 

wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 222–226). 

NMFS issues permits based on findings 

that such permits: (1) Are applied for in 

good faith; (2) if granted and exercised, 

would not operate to the disadvantage 

of the listed species that are the subject 

of the permit; and (3) are consistent 

with the purposes and policy of section 

2 of the ESA. The authority to take 

listed species is subject to conditions set 

forth in the permits. 

Anyone requesting a hearing on the 

application listed in this notice should 

set out the specific reasons why a 

hearing on the application would be 

appropriate (see ADDRESSES). Such 

hearings are held at the discretion of the 

Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, 

NMFS.

Background 

1415–5R 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 

Red Bluff Office is seeking to renew a 

permit that allows them to annually take 

juvenile and adult SacR winter-run and 

CVS Chinook salmon, adult and 

juvenile CCV steelhead, and egg, larval, 

and juvenile SDPS green sturgeon in the 

Sacramento River and in Clear and 

Battle Creeks in the Central Valley, 

California. This permit renewal would 

cover nine research projects carried out 

by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

Red Bluff office. The names and 

purposes of the nine studies are: (1) 

Battle Creek Fish Community Structure 

Evaluation (Pre/Post-Restoration)—the 

primary goal of this study is to assess 

how fish community distribution 

changes in response to the restoration 

project. (2) Battle Creek Juvenile 

Salmonid Monitoring Project—the goal 

is to monitor annual juvenile 

production and develop production 

indices, assess restoration efforts, and 

gather information on the history and 

migration of juvenile salmonids. (3) 

Battle Creek Adult Salmonid Monitoring 

Project—the purpose is to monitor 

escapement, migration timing, and 

population distribution of adult spring 

run and steelhead. (4) Battle Creek 

emergence trapping—the purpose is to 

monitor fry emergence in conjunction 

with the Battle Creek winter-run 

Jumpstart Project and Reintroduction 

Program efforts. (5) Clear Creek Juvenile 

Salmonid Monitoring Project—the 

purpose is to monitor juvenile Chinook 

and steelhead production, size, 

condition, and environmental data with 

the goal of information restoration 

actions in Clear Creek. (6) Clear Creek 

Fish Restoration Program Monitoring— 

the purpose is to monitor restored 

stream channel form and function (i.e., 

improved water quality and quantity, 

reduced sedimentation, etc.). (7) 

Sacramento River Juvenile Fish 

Monitoring at Red Bluff Diversion Dam 

(RBDD)—the primary objectives of this 

project are to (a) obtain juvenile winter 

Chinook production indices and to 

correlate these indices with estimated 

escapement from adult estimates 

provided by the winter Chinook carcass 

survey, (b) define seasonal and temporal 

patterns of abundance of winter, spring,
