SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 4(c)(2) of the ESA requires 

that, at least every 5 years, the Secretary 

shall conduct a review of all ESA-listed 

species and determine whether any 

species should: (1) Be removed from 

such list; (2) be changed in status from 

an endangered species to a threatened 

species; or (3) be changed in status from 

a threatened species to an endangered 

species. In the Pacific Northwest, 

NMFS’ reviews of the status of listed 

salmon and steelhead populations, and 

the extent to which the threats and other 

factors limiting the species’ recovery 

have been addressed, are largely 

dependent upon monitoring information 

collected by state, tribal, and Federal comanagers. In an effort to provide more 

direction to agencies monitoring the 

status of ESA-listed salmon and 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 123 / Monday, June 29, 2009 / Notices 31009 

steelhead and their habitats, NMFS’ 

Northwest Region has drafted guidance 

on monitoring the recovery of listed 

salmonids in the Pacific Northwest. 

This draft Pacific Northwest monitoring 

guidance will assist NMFS’ recovery 

partners in Oregon, Washington, and 

Idaho in understanding the recovery 

monitoring needs under the ESA, and 

the desired level of statistical certainty 

for the monitoring information they 

collect. The draft monitoring guidance 

includes recommended priorities for 

monitoring, data collection, and 

reporting of the viability of Pacific 

Northwest salmon and steelhead 

populations, threats to the species, and 

the ESA Section 4(a)(1) listing factors. 

Information Solicited 

NMFS’ Northwest Region is soliciting 

public comment on the draft guidance 

for monitoring the recovery of ESAlisted salmon and steelhead in Idaho, 

Oregon, and Washington. Specifically, 

NMFS’ Northwest Region requests 

comment on the recommendations and 

priorities proposed in the draft Pacific 

Northwest monitoring guidance. In 

particular, we would like input on the 

proposed confidence intervals for status 

and trends monitoring of adult and 

juveniles, as well as on the targets for 

the relative abundance of hatchery- and 

natural-origin fish in spawning 

populations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

9, 2009, notice was published in the 

Federal Register (74 FR 10034) that a 

request for a scientific research permit 

to take hawksbill sea turtles had been 

submitted by the above-named 

individual. 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). 

The research will continue to describe 

the abundance and movements of an 

aggregation of hawksbill sea turtles 

found on the barrier reefs of Palm Beach 

County, Florida. Up to 75 animals will 

be captured, tagged, and sampled 

annually for 5 years. Up to ten animals 

will have satellite transmitters attached 

to their carapace. 

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 such endangered 

species, and (3) is consistent with the 

purposes and policies set forth in 

section 2 of the ESA.
