five consecutive years resulting from the 

capture (by boat electrofisher, angling, 

trot line, gill/trammel net, beach seine), 

handling, anesthetizing, enumerating, 

measuring, tagging (pittag, radio tag, 

acoustic telemetry tag, Hallprint floytag), tissue (scale, otolith) sampling and 

analysis, releasing, and non-intentional 

mortality of fish, in association with the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC) Project No. 2100 Settlement 

Agreement for the re-licensing of the 

Oroville- Thermalito Complex Project: 

Project 1 researches wild steelhead 

site-fidelity and growth through markrecapture methods. Research activities 

associated with Project 1 include the 

capture of juvenile steelhead by boat 

electrofishing or seine block nets, 

tagging adult steelhead with radio and 

acoustic telemetry tags for tracking, 

recapture of tagged steelhead to 

calculate individual growth rates and to 

estimate population survival rates, 

taking length-weight measurements for 

calculating condition, and collecting 

scales and otoliths from adult steelhead 

to provide life history information on 

the Feather River population. 

Project 2 researches characteristics of 

spring-run Chinook salmon holding 

pools and spawning habitats, spring-run 

migration timing, and spring-run 

salmon holding survival to spawning. 

Research activities associated with 

Project 2 include the capture of springrun by angling, the tagging of spring-run 

with radio, acoustic tags and Hallprint 

tags, and the tracking of spring-run to 

understand movement and holding 

patterns of spring-run migration within 

the Feather River. 

Project 3 researches impacts to green 

sturgeon in the lower Feather River from 

operational effects of Oroville Dam on 

river flow, temperature and green 

sturgeon habitat. Research activities 

associated with Project 3 include the 

capture of green sturgeon by fyke trap, 

gill/trammel net, trot line, and boat 

electrofisher; acoustic-tagging and 

tracking of green sturgeon to evaluate 

migration patterns, residence times, 

migration barriers; and identifying 

potential spawning grounds for green 

surgeon egg and larval surveys.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

Natural Resource Scientists, 

Incorporated (NRS), P.O. Box 1210, Red 

Bluff, CA, 96080, has been issued a 

permit to take Sacramento River winterrun Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus 

tshawytscha), Central Valley spring-run 

Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), and 

California steelhead (O. mykiss) for 

purposes of scientific research.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 18, 2008, notice was 

published in the Federal Register (73 

FR 77009), that a request for a scientific 

research permit to take Sacramento 

River winter-run Chinook salmon, 

Central Valley spring-run Chinook 

salmon, Central Valley steelhead, and 

southern DPS of North American green 

sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) had 

been submitted by the above-named 

organization. The requested permit has 

been issued under the authority of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

and the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226). 

Researchers will annually conduct 

site specific research at three irrigation 

diversion canal sites off the Sacramento 

River, within the Colusa, Sutter, and 

Yolo counties of the Central Valley, 

California. Entrained fish will be 

captured by fyke net, identified as to 

species/race, enumerated, measured for 

length, and placed back into the 

diversion canals; all entrained live fish 

will be placed back into the Sacramento 

River. This research is part of an ongoing investigation into developing 

criteria for prioritizing fish screening 

projects, and will correlate fish 

entrainment with the physical, 

hydraulic, and habitat variables at each 

diversion site. The permit is issued for 

2 years. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit (1) was applied for in good 

faith, (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of any endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.
