SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority 

Issuance of permits and permit 

modifications, as required by the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 

U.S.C. 1531–1543) (ESA), is based on a 

finding that such permits/modifications: 

(1) are applied for in good faith; (2) 

would not operate to the disadvantage 

of the listed species which are the 

subject of the permits; and (3) are 

consistent with the purposes and 

policies set forth in section 2 of the 

ESA. Authority to take listed species is 

subject to conditions set forth in the 

permits. Permits and modifications are 

issued in accordance with and are 

subject to the ESA and NMFS 

regulations governing listed fish and 

wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 222–226). 

Those individuals requesting a 

hearing on an application listed in this

hearing is at the discretion of the 

Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,

contained in the permit action 

summaries are those of the applicant

Species Covered in This Notice 

This notice is relevant to federally 

endangered Central California Coast 

(CCC) coho salmon (Oncorhynchus 

kisutch) and threatened CCC steelhead 

(O. mykiss). 

Application Received 

Dr. Smith requests a 5–year permit 

(14516) for take of adult and juvenile 

CCC coho salmon and CCC steelhead 

associated with two projects in Santa 

Cruz and San Mateo counties within 

central California. 

Project 1 is the continuation of a longterm study of juvenile CCC coho salmon 

and CCC steelhead abundance in the 

Gazos, Waddell and Scott creek 

watersheds. The project will include 

electrofishing in fall at multiple sites in 

each stream to determine juvenile CCC 

coho salmon and CCC steelhead 

abundance, conduct an inventory of 

general habitat conditions, and to assess 

the effects of habitat conditions on 

salmonid distribution and survival. 

These data will be used to demonstrate 

year-class strength, spawning and redd 

survival conditions, adult migration 

access, broodyear legacy effects (general 

3–year coho salmon life cycle), and an 

index of ocean survival. This project 

will also include seasonal sampling of 

CCC coho salmon and CCC steelhead in 

Gazos, Waddell and Scott creek lagoons 

by beach seine to provide information 

on relative abundance (using mark and 

recapture techniques), smolt and adult 

life history information from scales, and 

growth. Collection of scales from a subsample of each species and life stage is 

requested to determine age, growth 

rates, and changes in habitat use over 

time and tissue samples (fin-clips) are 

requested for CCC coho salmon for 

genetic analyses. In addition, this 

project will include winter carcass 

surveys for CCC coho salmon in order
