SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permits and modifications are 

requested under the authority of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as

and the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR 222–226). 

File No. 1420: A notice of receipt of 

an application from Dr. Douglas 

Peterson to conduct scientific research 

on shortnose sturgeon was published on 

March 11, 2003 (68 FR 11533). On 

September 2, 2004, a scientific research 

permit was issued to Dr. Peterson to 

conduct scientific research on shortnose 

sturgeon (69 FR 55797). The permit 

authorizes Dr. Peterson to capture, 

measure, weigh, passive integrated 

transponder (PIT) and Carlin tag, tissue 

sample, and release up to 200 adult 

sturgeon annually from Altamaha River, 

Georgia. Additionally, Dr. Peterson is 

authorized to internally radio-sonic tag 

up to 30 sturgeon annually. Dr. Peterson 

now proposes to increase the annual 

capture of sturgeon from 200 to 1,000 

due to a revised population assessment 

suggesting that the shortnose sturgeon 

population in the Altamaha River is 

probably at least ten times larger than 

previously thought. This permit expires 

on September 30, 2009. 

File No. 1543: Duke Power Company 

proposes to conduct a study of 

shortnose sturgeon in the Wateree River, 

South Carolina, as part of the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission’s 2008 

relicensing process for the Company’s 

Catawba-Wateree Hydropower Project. 

State and federal regulatory agencies 

have requested a shortnose sturgeon 

use-survey of the Wateree River. Three 

shortnose sturgeon would be captured 

annually via gill nets set every other 

week in the early spring along the 

Wateree River when water temperatures 

are 9 - 15 oC. Captured fish would be 

weighed, measured, scanned for PIT 

tags, and released. Untagged fish would 

be tagged by the South Carolina 

Department of Natural Resources. The 

permit is requested for a duration of 5 

years, begining in February 2006. 

File No. 1545: The North Carolina 

Zoologist Park has requested 

authorization to obtain and use ten 

captive-bred, non-releaseable shortnose 

sturgeon from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service’s Warm Springs National Fish 

Hatchery for the purposes of 

educational display. The proposed 

project of displaying endangered 

cultured shortnose sturgeon responds 

directly to a recommendation from the 

NMFS recovery outline for this species. 

This sturgeon display would be used to 

increase public awareness of the 

shortnose sturgeon and its status. The 

proposed project would educate the 

public on shortnose sturgeon life history 

and the reasons for its declining 

numbers. The permit is requested for a 

duration of 5 years. 

File No. 1549: Dr. Boyd Kynard of the 

S.O. Conte Anadromous Fish Research 

Center proposes to conduct scientific 

research to determine up and 

downstream migrations, habitat use, 

spawning periodicity, seasonal 

movements, and growth of shortnose 

sturgeon in the Connecticut River from 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 217 / Thursday, November 10, 2005 / Notices 68399 

Agawan to Montague, MA, and in the 

Merrimack River at Haverhill, MA. 

From the Connecticut River, a 

maximum of 500 adult and large 

juvenile shortnose sturgeon would be 

captured by gill nets, measured, PIT 

tagged, and released annually. A subset 

of 40 fish would also be radio tagged, 

and a subset of 6 of the aforementioned 

radio tagged fish would also receive 

temperature-depth tags. A maximum of 

16 male and female adults would be 

captured annually with gill nets, tested 

for habitat use and movements in the 

lab, and subsequently released for 3 

years. A maximum of 12 male and 

female adults would be captured with 

gill nets annually, lab tested for 

spawning, and released. A maximum of 

40 adult males would be captured with 

gill nets, tested in flume studies to 

develop downstream passage, and 

released. A maximum of 100 young-ofthe-year, 100 yearling, and 300 small 

juvenile of the same species would also 

be captured by gill nets, measured, PIT 

tagged, and released annually. A subset 

of 20 yearling and 20 small juveniles 

from the aforementioned 100 fish would 

also be radio tagged. A maximum of 400 

egg-embryo-larva would be taken 

lethally for spawning evaluation 

annually. In the Merrimack River, a 

maximum of 40 adults annually would 

be captured with gill nets, PIT tagged, 

a subset of 10 radio tagged, and 

released. A maximum of 40 egg-embryolarva would be lethally taken for 

spawning studies. In addition, Dr. 

Kynard proposes to take a total of 1000 

fertilized eggs annually from each of the 

following rivers: Androscoggin River, 

ME; Kennebec River, ME; Merrimack 

River, MA; Hudson River, NY; Delaware 

River, DE; Potomac River, MD; and 

Santee-Cooper River, SC. The permit is 

requested for a duration of 5 years.
