the 30-day comment period and 

consideration of any comment 

submitted therein. NMFS will publish 

notice of the final action on the subject 

permit application 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 Fisheries, NOAA.

Permit Application Received 

Permit 16608–3R 

Reclamation applied to renew their 

Section 10(a)1(A) scientific 

enhancement permit (Previous Federal 

Permit/Authorization: 16608–2R) 

involving continued implementation of 

the San Joaquin River Restoration 

Program (SJRRP) Steelhead Monitoring 

Plan (SMP) in the San Joaquin River 

Restoration Area. The Restoration Area 

is 153 miles long (246.23 km), from 

Friant Dam downstream to the San 

Joaquin River’s confluence with the 

Merced River. This stretch of river 

crosses the California counties of 

Fresno, Madera and Merced. The 

primary objectives of this effort involve: 

(1) monitor for adult CCV steelhead in 

the wetted sections of the San Joaquin 

River downstream of Mendota Dam (or 

lower, depending on passage 

conditions) to the Merced River 

confluence, (2) relocate CCV steelhead 

to more suitable habitat downstream of 

the Merced River confluence, (3) 

determining the distribution, 

abundance, size, and age structures of 

both CCV steelhead and sDPS green 

sturgeon, and (4) documenting changes 

in CCV steelhead abundance and 

distribution in response to fluctuating 

water conditions. Proposed monitoring 

activities include: capture (raft-mounted 

electrofisher), fyke nets with wing walls 

and fish traps, steelhead-specific 

trammel nets, hand seins, handling 

(conducting length measurements, 

gender identification, tissue and scale 

collection, assessment of condition, 

checking for the presence of tags), and 

Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) 

tagging of fish inclusive of steelhead 

and green sturgeon. Captured CCV 

steelhead will be transported by tanker 

truck and released in the San Joaquin 

River downstream of the Merced River 

confluence. Recaptured CCV steelhead 

will be identified by the presence of a 

PIT tag. 

Field activities for the proposed 

monitoring effort will occur December 1 

through April 30 over the next 5 years 

(start: 12/01/2022 End: 12/31/2027). The 

take Reclamation is requesting for this 

5-year effort is as follows by each takeaction category: (1) non-lethal (seven 

adults) and lethal (two adults) effects 

due to collecting, sampling, and 

transport of live threatened CCV 

steelhead (natural origin) and non-lethal 

(seven adults) and lethal (two adults) 

effects to threatened CCV steelhead of 

hatchery origin, (2) non-lethal (six 

adults) and no lethal effects due to 

capture, handling, and release of live 

threatened green sturgeon, and (3) nonlethal effects to threatened CCV 

steelhead of natural origin (ten adults) 

and threatened CCV steelhead of 

hatchery origin (ten adults), and 

threatened sDPS green sturgeon (three 

adults) due to observations and 

harassment at weirs, fish ladders, and 

dams where no trapping occurs. The 

potential unintentional lethal take 

resulting from the proposed scientific 

enhancement activities is up to four 

adult CCV steelhead (two natural origin; 

two hatchery origin). Overall, no 

intentional lethal take of CCV steelhead 

is proposed or expected as a result of 

these scientific enhancement activities. 

This proposed scientific enhancement 

effort is expected to provide valuable 

information on sDPS green sturgeon and 

the most southern extent of CCV 

steelhead to the California Department 

of Fish and Wildlife’s comprehensive 

monitoring plan for steelhead in the 

Central Valley. The proposed 

monitoring by Reclamation is consistent 

with recommendations and objectives 

outlined in NMFS’ Recovery Plan for 

CCV steelhead. See the application for 

Permit 16608–3R for greater details on 

the scientific enhancement proposal and 

related methodology.
