**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Malcolm Mohead or Colette Cairns at (301) 427–8401.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The subject permit modifications are requested under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. ), and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR parts 222–226).

Permit No. 14759 was issued August 20, 2010 (75 FR 53278), and Permit No. 16375 was issued on April 6, 2012 (77 FR 21754) to the applicant listed above. Each permit currently authorizes the permit holder to assess the presence, abundance, and distribution of shortnose sturgeon and Atlantic sturgeon, respectively, within NorthCarolina rivers (Chowan, Roanoke, TarPamlico, Neuse, and Cape Fear) andestuaries (Albemarle Sound) using nonlethal sampling methods, using hydroacoustic surveys (side-scan, DIDSON) and gill nets. The permit holder is now requesting authorization to modify both permits to allow use of artificial substrates for characterizing spawning activity in the Roanoke and/ or Cape Fear Rivers. Specifically, it is proposed that artificial substrates be used for collecting up to 50 shortnose sturgeon and 50 Atlantic sturgeon early life stages (ELS) per river annually. Proposed sampling for ELS would be conducted up to the first impassible dam, i.e., river kilometer 221 in the Roanoke River and river kilometer 300 in the Cape Fear River. The artificial substrates for collecting sturgeon ELS would be made from floor buffing pads, approximately 2 feet in diameter, and these would anchored to the river bottom and marked with a buoy. The pads would be monitored at least twice per week during suspected spawning runs of either species. The modifications would be valid until the respective permits expire on August 19, 2015 (File No. 14759), and April 5, 2017 (File No. 16375). Dated: April 15, 2013. P. Michael Payne, Chief, Permits and Conservation Division, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.
