Permits 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

ACTION: Notice of issuance of permits. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, have issued permits to 

conduct activities with endangered and

of the Endangered Species Act, as 

amended (ESA). With some exceptions, 

the ESA prohibits activities involving 

listed species unless a Federal permit is 

issued that allows such activity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have 

issued permits to conduct certain 

activities with endangered and 

threatened species in response to permit 

applications that we received under the 

authority of section 10(a)(1)(A) of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 

16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). 

After considering the information 

submitted with each permit application 

and the public comments received, we 

issued the requested permits subject to 

certain conditions set forth in each 

permit. For each application for an 

endangered species, we found that (1) 

the application was filed in good faith, 

(2) the granted permit would not operate 

to the disadvantage of the endangered 

species, and (3) the granted permit 

would be consistent with the purposes 

and policy set forth in section 2 of the 

ESA. 

Availability of Documents 

The permittees’ original permit 

application materials, along with public 

comments we received during public 

comment periods for the applications, 

are available for review. To locate the 

application materials and received 

comments, go to www.regulations.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Advisory Committee Scope and 

Objectives 

The Yakima River Basin Water 

Enhancement Project, authorized by 

Title XII of the Act of October 31, 1994 

(Act), Public Law 103–434, established 

the Yakima River Basin Water 

Conservation Program (Basin 

Conservation Program). The Act 

authorized the Secretary of the Interior 

to establish a CAG to provide advice 

and counsel on the structure, 

implementation, and oversight of the 

Basin Conservation Program. The Act 

also specifies the composition of the 

members to serve on the CAG. 

The Basin Conservation Program is 

structured to provide economic 

incentives with cooperative Federal, 

State, and local funding to stimulate the 

identification and implementation of 

structural and nonstructural costeffective water conservation measures in 

the Yakima River basin. Improvements 

in the efficiency of water delivery and 

use will result in improved streamflows 

for fish and wildlife and improve the 

reliability of water supplies for 

irrigation. 

The duties or roles and functions of 

the CAG are in an advisory capacity 

only. They are to: (A) Provide 

recommendations to the Secretary and 

to the State of Washington regarding the 

structure and implementation of the 

Basin Conservation Program, (B) 

provide recommendations to the 

Secretary and to the State of Washington 

regarding the establishment of a 

permanent program for the 

measurement and reporting of all 

natural flow and contract diversions 

within the basin, (C) structure a process 

to prepare a basin conservation plan as 

specified in subsection (f), (D) provide 

annual review of the implementation of 

the applicable water conservation 

guidelines of the Secretary, and (E) 

provide recommendations consistent 

with statutes of the State of Washington 

on rules, regulations, and 

administration of a process to facilitate 

the voluntary sale or lease of water. 

Membership Criteria 

Members of the CAG are appointed by 

the Secretary and are comprised of— 

(A) one representative of the Yakima 

River basin nonproratable irrigators, 

(B) one representative of the Yakima 

River basin proratable irrigators, 

(C) one representative of the Yakama 

Indian Nation, 

(D) one representative of 

environmental interests, 

(E) one representative of the 

Washington State University 

Agricultural Extension Service, 

(F) one representative of the 

Department of Wildlife of the State of 

Washington, and 

(G) one individual who shall serve as 

the facilitator. 

At this time, we are particularly 

interested in applications from 

representatives of the following: One 

representative of the Yakama Indian 

Nation, and one representative of 

environmental interests. 

After consultation, the Secretary of 

the Interior will appoint the members to 

the CAG. Members will be selected 

based on requirements set forth in the 

Act and their individual qualifications, 

as well as the overall need to achieve a 

balanced representation of viewpoints,
