southern Puget Sound. The goals of this 

work are to (1) identify potential 

restoration sites based on fish presence, 

(2) investigate options to improve 

restoration design at planned sites, and 

(3) record and evaluate changes in 

salmon and steelhead population 

characteristics in response to estuarine 

habitat restoration actions. 

The researchers propose to capture 

juvenile fish using electrofishing, 

minnow traps, beach seines, and hook 

and line sampling. Juvenile salmon and 

steelhead would be handled 

(anesthetized, weighed, measured, and 

checked for marks or tags), and released. 

A subset of juvenile salmon and 

steelhead may be PIT-tagged and have 

their stomach contents non-lethally 

sampled via gastric lavage. No adult fish 

would be targeted for sampling, though 

some may be unintentionally captured 

in juvenile sampling gear. The 

researchers do not propose to kill any 

fish at all but some may die as an 

unintended result of the activities. 

This notice is provided pursuant to 

section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will 

evaluate the applications, associated 

documents, and comments submitted to 

determine whether the applications 

meet the requirements of section 10(a) 

of the ESA and Federal regulations. The 

final permit decisions 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.

The HSRP is a Federal Advisory 

Committee established to advise the 

Under Secretary of Commerce for 

Oceans and Atmosphere, the NOAA 

Administrator, on matters related to the 

responsibilities and authorities set forth 

in section 303 of the Hydrographic 

Services Improvement Act of 1998, as 

amended, and such other appropriate 

matters that the Under Secretary refers 

to the Panel for review and advice. 

Matters To Be Considered 

The panel is convening on issues 

relevant to NOAA’s navigation, 

observations and positioning services 

and suggestions for improvements, 

including: Data sharing and data 

licensing especially for bathymetry to 

use for ocean mapping, charts, 

modeling, and other NOAA products; 

bridge heights, datums, and air gap 

sensors to address safe navigation and 

the possible technology solutions from 

the transition to the new National 

Spatial Reference System (NSRS); and a 

discussion about the changes to raster 

paper charts and the improvements to 

Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC). 

HSRP regularly discusses stakeholder 

use of NOAA’s navigation, observations 

and positioning data, products and 

services, and topics related to 

hydrographic surveys, nautical charting, 

coastal shoreline and ocean mapping, 

the NSRS modernization efforts, 

navigation services contributions to 

resilience and coastal data and 

information systems to support 

planning for resilience to climate 

change and sea level rise, contributions 

to the blue economy, coastal and ocean 

modeling and remote sensing, PORTS®

(Physical Oceanographic Real-Time 

System) sensor enhancements and 

expansion, Precision Marine Navigation, 

the transition from raster paper charts to 

ENC, the scientific mapping and 

technology research projects of the 

cooperative agreements between NOAA 

and partners at the University of New 

Hampshire and the University of 

Southern Florida, and other topics. The 

meeting may include an update on the 

plans to address and implement two 

ocean and coastal mapping strategies—

the Alaska Coastal Mapping Strategy 

(ACMS) and the ‘‘Establishing a 

National Strategy for Mapping, 

Exploring, and Characterizing the U.S. 

EEZ’’ (NOMEC), including the Standard 

Ocean Mapping Protocol (SOMP). 

Navigation services include the data, 

products, and services provided by the 

NOAA programs and activities that 

undertake geodetic observations, gravity 

modeling, coastal and shoreline 

mapping, bathymetric mapping and 

modeling, hydrographic surveying, 

nautical charting, tide and water level 

observations, current observations, 

flooding, resilience, inundation and sea 

level rise, marine and coastal modeling, 

geospatial and LIDAR data, and related 

data and topics. This suite of NOAA 

products and services support safe and 

efficient navigation, the blue economy, 

resilient coasts and communities, and 

the nationwide positioning information 

infrastructure to support America’s 

climate needs and commerce. The Panel 

will hear about the missions and uses of 

NOAA’s navigation, observations and 

positioning services, the value these 

services bring, and what improvements 

could be made. Other matters may be 

considered. 

Special Accommodations 

This meeting is accessible to people 

with disabilities and there will be sign 

language interpretation. Please direct 

requests for other auxiliary aids to
