FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

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 North 

Carolina rivers (Chowan, Roanoke, TarPamlico, Neuse, and Cape Fear) and 

estuaries (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).
