National Oceanic and Atmospheric

[I.D. 031495E]

Endangered Species; Permits

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of two

applications for scientific research

permits (P497C and P45S) and receipt of

an application for Modification 4 to

scientific research Permit 817 (P45K).

Notice is hereby given that Dr.

Theodore Bjornn of the Idaho

Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research

Unit (ICFW) in Moscow, ID, in

association with Lowell Stuehrenberg of

NMFS, and Stanley Smith of the

National Biological Service (NBS) in

Cook, WA have applied in due form for

scientific research permits (P497C and

P45S respectively) and that Stanley

Smith of NBS has applied for

Modification 4 to scientific research

Permit 817 (P45K) to take listed species

as authorized by section 10 of the

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA)

(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) and the NMFS

regulations governing listed fish and

wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 217-227).

ICFW requests an ESA section 10

permit to capture adult, endangered,

Snake River spring/summer chinook

salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) to

test the efficiency of Merwin traps at six

sites downstream of Bonneville Dam on

the Columbia River under variable flow

conditions. The Merwin traps will be

used for a study, which will begin in

1996, to evaluate the passage of

migrating adult salmon and steelhead

around the dams and through the

reservoirs on the lower Columbia River

and the lower Snake River. The adult

anadromous fish will be migrating to

upstream natal tributaries to spawn. A

separate ESA section 10 permit will be

requested for the study. The requested

duration of this permit is mid-April to

the end of May and mid-June to the end

of July in 1995 only.

NBS requests an ESA section 10

scientific research permit to take

juvenile, endangered, artificially

propagated Snake River spring/summer

chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus

tshawytscha) as part of a study designed

to provide managers with data on the

distribution, abundance, movement, and

habitat use by the anadromous fish that

migrate through Lower Granite

Reservoir. The study will provide

detailed information on the response of

migrating smolts to environmental

changes that attend proposed reservoir

drawdown and other river regulation

scenarios. Project objectives and

sampling plans will accommodate

endangered species recovery needs and

constraints. The juvenile fish to be used

for the study will be collected at trap

sites and by using purse seines, tagged

with radio transmitters, and monitored

electronically for their migratory

patterns as far downriver as possible.

The annual dates of collection will be

from April 1 to May 26. The requested

duration of the permit is 4 years.

Permit 817 authorizes NBS to take

juvenile, endangered, Snake River fall

and spring/summer chinook salmon

(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) as part of

a study designed to assess the migration

timing of juvenile anadromous salmon

using passive integrated transponder

(PIT) tags and Panjet marks. For

Modification 4, NBS requests an

increase in the number of their annual

authorized take and approval to use an

additional sampling gear type. The

increase in the annual take is requested

to obtain a sufficient sample size to

estimate the migration timing of fish

produced in the upper Snake and

Clearwater Rivers to Lower Monumental

Dam on the lower Snake River. Similar

increases in the authorized take for this

permit were processed in 1993 and

1994. In addition, NBS requests

approval to use modified fyke nets

instead of beach seines to capture fish

for tagging and to assess nearshore

movements of the marked fish in the

Snake and Clearwater Rivers.

Modification 4 is requested for the

duration of the permit. The permit

expires on December 31, 1996.

Written data or views, or requests for

a public hearing on these applications

should be submitted to the Chief,

Endangered Species Division, Office of

Protected Resources, F/PR8, NMFS,

1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring,

MD 20910–3226, within 30 days of the
