SUMMARY: NMFS and the Assessment 

Oversight Panel (AOP) will convene the 

Management Track Assessment Peer 

Review Meeting for the purpose of 

reviewing both Atlantic herring and

managers for fish stocks in the offshore 

U.S. waters of the northwest Atlantic. 

Assessments are prepared by the lead 

stock assessment analyst and reviewed 

by an independent panel of stock 

assessment experts called the AOP. The 

public is invited to attend the 

presentations and discussions between 

the review panel and the scientists who 

have participated in the stock 

assessment process.

ACTION: Notice of receipt; one 

application for a scientific enhancement 

permit. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

NMFS received an application from 

NMFS’ California Coastal Office in 

Santa Rosa, California for an U.S. 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 

10(a)(1)(A) scientific enhancement 

permit (permit 26495). The purpose of 

this permit is to enhance the survival of 

the endangered Central California Coast 

(CCC) Evolutionary Significant Unit 

(ESU) of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus 

kisutch) and threatened CCC Distinct 

Population Segment (DPS) of steelhead 

(O. mykiss) in coastal streams of 

California’s Santa Cruz Mountains 

through rescue and relocation of these 

species from drying streams. The public 

is hereby notified that the application 

for Permit 26495 is available for review 

and comment before NMFS either 

approves or disapproves the 

application. 

DATES: Written comments on the permit 

application must be received at the 

appropriate email address (see 

ADDRESSES) on or before July 1, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the 

permit application should be submitted 

to Joel Casagrande via email at 

joel.casagrande@noaa.gov with ‘‘permit 

26495’’ referenced in the subject line.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Species Covered in This Notice 

Central California Coast (CCC) 

Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU) of 

coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) 

and threatened CCC Distinct Population 

Segment (DPS) of steelhead (O. mykiss). 

Authority 

Scientific research and enhancement 

permits are issued in accordance with 

Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et. seq) and regulations 

governing listed fish and wildlife 

permits (50 CFR 222–227). NMFS issues 

permits based on findings that such 

permits: (1) Are applied for in good 

faith; (2) would not operate to the 

disadvantage of the listed species which 

are the subject of the permits; and (3) 

are consistent with the purposes and 

policies set forth in Section 2 of the 

ESA. Authority to take listed species is 

subject to conditions set forth in the 

permits. 

This notice is provided pursuant to 

Section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will 

evaluate the application, associated 

documents, and any comment 

submitted to determine whether the 

application meets 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 and 

consideration of any comment 

submitted therein. NMFS will publish 

notice of its final action in the Federal 

Register. 

Those individuals requesting a 

hearing on the application listed in this 

notice should provide the specific 

reasons why a hearing on the 

application would be appropriate (see 

ADDRESSES). Such a hearing is held at 

the discretion of the Assistant 

Administrator for NOAA Fisheries. 

Permit Application Received 

Permit 26495 

NMFS’ California Coastal Office in 

Santa Rosa, California applied for a 

Section 10(a)(1)(A) scientific 

enhancement permit (permit 26495). 

This application involves enhancing the 

survival of endangered Central 

California Coast (CCC) Evolutionary 

Significant Unit (ESU) of coho salmon 

(Oncorhynchus kisutch) and threatened 

CCC Distinct Population Segment (DPS) 

of steelhead (O. mykiss) in coastal 

streams of California’s Santa Cruz 

Mountains through rescue and 

relocation of these species from drying 

streams. This application also includes 

research and monitoring elements. To 

assess the efficacy of these rescue 

activities, a subset of the juvenile 

salmonids may receive a Passive 

Integrated Transponder tag (PIT-tag) 

prior to release. The tagged fish will be 

tracked by fixed antennas positioned in 

multiple regional watersheds which will 

provide information on their 

movements and survival in the 

freshwater environment. Otoliths and 

tissue samples will be collected 

opportunistically from spawned adult 

carcasses encountered to learn about the 

individual’s life history. Tissue samples 

(fin clips and scales) will be collected 

from carcasses and a subset of live fish 

for genetic information (fin clips) and 

age-structure and growth patterns 

(scales). In the event that adult, preVerDate Sep<11>2014 22:08 May 31, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\01JNN1.SGM 01JNN1
