30208 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 18, 2022 / Notices 

regulations governing listed fish and 

wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 222–226). 

NMFS issues permits based on findings 

that such permits: (1) Are applied for in 

good faith; (2) if granted and exercised, 

would not operate to the disadvantage 

of the listed species that are the subject 

of the permit; and (3) are consistent 

with the purposes and policy of section 

2 of the ESA. The authority to take 

listed species is subject to conditions set 

forth in the permits. 

Anyone requesting a hearing on the 

application listed in this notice should 

set out the specific reasons why a 

hearing on the application would be 

appropriate (see ADDRESSES). Such 

hearings are held at the discretion of the 

Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, 

NMFS. 

Applications Received 

Permit 26342 

The University of California, Santa 

Cruz (UCSC), has requested a research 

and enhancement permit to authorize 

the rescue and relocation of black 

abalone in response to emergency 

events that pose a risk to black abalone 

and their habitat. Emergency events 

include oil spills, landslides, debris 

flows, and vessel groundings. The 

purpose of the research and 

enhancement permit is to enhance the 

survival of endangered black abalone 

through rescue and relocation. The 

permit would authorize activities for ten 

years. 

Activities would include collection of 

black abalone and removal from the 

wild, captive holding for one day to 

several months, reintroduction to the 

wild, and monitoring. Activities would 

also include long-term holding, 

spawning, culturing, and experimental 

outplanting studies. Collected abalone 

would be photographed, measured, 

weighed, visually assessed for health 

and gonad condition, genetically 

sampled (e.g., a swab and/or an 

epipodial clipping), and tagged. A 

proportion of the abalone may be 

injured or killed due to collection and 

handling. Severely injured abalone 

would be held in captivity for 

rehabilitation. Dead abalone would be 

preserved and available for analysis at 

approved labs. Researchers would 

coordinate closely with NMFS, the 

California Department of Fish and 

Wildlife, and other partners on all 

emergency response activities and 

follow protocols to minimize stress and 

harm to rescued black abalone. 

Permit 26606 

The UCSC has also requested a 

research and enhancement permit to 

authorize the collection and 

transplanting of black abalone. The 

purpose of this permit is to advance 

recovery of black abalone by evaluating 

transplantation as a tool to re-establish 

populations where they have been 

locally extirpated and to enhance 

populations that have experienced 

declines. The permit would authorize 

activities for five years. 

Activities would include collection of 

black abalone and removal from the 

wild, captive holding for one to several 

days, release at the restoration sites, and 

monitoring. Collected abalone would be 

photographed, measured, weighed, 

visually assessed for health and gonad 

condition, genetically sampled (e.g., a 

swab and/or an epipodial clipping), and 

tagged. A proportion of the abalone may 

be injured or killed due to collection 

and handling. Severely injured abalone 

would be held in captivity for 

rehabilitation. Dead abalone would be 

preserved and available for analysis at 

approved labs. Researchers would 

coordinate closely with NMFS, the 

California Department of Fish and 

Wildlife, and other partners on all 

collection and transplanting activities 

and follow protocols to minimize stress 

and harm to black abalone. 

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.
