Endangered Species; Permits

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Issuance of Modification 3 to

Scientific Research and Enhancement

Permit 848 (P507D).

On October 27, 1994, an application

was filed by the Washington

Department of Fish and Wildlife

(WDFW) for a modification to their

scientific research and enhancement

Permit 848. Permit 848 authorizes

WDFW to collect adult, listed, Snake

River spring chinook salmon

(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from the

Tucannon River for a captive broodstock

program and to release the progeny of

the listed adult salmon collected for

broodstock.

For Modification 3 to Permit 848,

WDFW requested an alteration of their

annual release strategy for the hatchery

progeny of the listed adult salmon

collected for broodstock as authorized

by 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-

222). WDFW proposes to volitionally

release one third to one half of 45,000

- 64,000 presmolts or smolts from the

hatchery and to outplant the remainder

several miles upstream of the hatchery

into the upper Tucannon River

watershed during February through

April of each year. WDFW had

previously been authorized to scatterplant up to 64,000 hatchery salmon fry

in or near October of each year.

Notice is hereby given that on

December 30, 1994, as authorized by the

provisions of the ESA, NMFS issued

Modification 3 to Permit 848 for the

above taking, subject to certain

conditions set forth therein.

Issuance of this modification, as

required by the ESA, was based on a

finding that such modification: (1) Was

applied for in good faith; (2) will not

operate to the disadvantage of the listed

species which is the subject of the

permit; and (3) is consistent with the

purposes and policies set forth in

section 2 of the ESA. This modification

was also issued in accordance with and

is subject to parts 217-222 of Title 50

CFR, the NMFS regulations governing

listed species permits.

The application, permit, and

supporting documentation are available

for review by interested persons in the

following offices, by appointment:

Office of Protected Resources, NMFS,

NOAA, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver

Spring, MD 20910–3226 (301–713–

1401); and

Environmental and Technical

Services Division, NMFS, NOAA, 525

North East Oregon St., Suite 500,

Portland, OR 97232 (503-230-5400).
