CenterPoint Energy-Mississippi River Transmission Corporation; Notice of Tariff Filing, 7720-7721 [E5-612]

Download as PDF 7720 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 15, 2005 / Notices and while most of the fish would be unharmed, some would die during the course of the research and a small number of them would intentionally be killed. Purse seines, trapnets and beach seines would be used to capture the fish. Captured fish would be anesthetized, identified, sampled for tissues, and measured. Some fish would be sacrificed to confirm species identification, catch composition, food habits, and timing of estuarine entry. Permit 1513 Washington Trout (WT) is requesting a 2–year research permit to annually capture, handle, and release juvenile PS chinook salmon. The research would take place in nearshore habitats of Admiralty Inlet, Washington. The purpose of the research is to determine habitat use by listed species in the nearshore waters of Admiralty Inlet. The WT intends to determine juvenile fish presence and abundance on a monthly basis in 2005 and 2006. The research would benefit listed chinook by determining which habitat types are used by juvenile chinook. The information gathered by this research would be used to design and prioritize habitat restoration and preservation projects. The WT proposes to capture the fish using beach seines. Captured fish would be identified, counted, checked for tags or marks, measured, and released. The WT does not intend to kill any of the fish being captured, but a small number may die as an unintended result of the activities. Permit 1519 The Columbia River Estuary Study Taskforce (CREST) is requesting a 5– year research permit to annually capture, handle, tag, and release juvenile SR sockeye salmon, SR fall chinook salmon, SR spring/summer chinook salmon, UCR chinook salmon, LCR chinook salmon, UWR chinook salmon, SR steelhead, UCR steelhead, MCR steelhead, LCR steelhead, UWR steelhead, and CR chum salmon. The research would take place in Grays Bay, Washington and Youngs Bay, Oregon in the Columbia River estuary. The purpose of the research is to evaluate estuarine habitat restoration efforts. Specific objectives are to (1) determine species composition, relative abundance, and residence time of various listed fish by using pre-restored and restoration project habitats and adjacent references sites; (2) determine prey utilization by juvenile salmon; and (3) determine prey availability. The research would benefit listed salmonids by determining how effectively currently altered habitats support VerDate jul<14>2003 17:50 Feb 14, 2005 Jkt 205001 salmonids and using that information to guide future habitat modifications. The CREST proposes to capture the fish using fyke nets, trap nets, and beach seines. Most of the captured fish would be anesthetized, identified, counted, measured, weighed, checked for tags and marks, and released. Some of the fish would be tagged with passive integrated transponders, or injected with dye or visible implant elastomers. Fin or scale tissue samples for genetic or age analysis would be taken from a portion of the captured juvenile chinook salmon. Some of the captured juvenile salmonid would be sampled for stomach content. The CREST does not intend to kill any of the fish being captured, but a small number may die as an unintended result of the activities. Permit 1521 Wyllie-Echeverria Associates (WEA) is requesting a 2–year research permit to annually capture, handle, fin-clip, and release juvenile PS chinook salmon. The research would take place in nearshore habitats of Orcas and Waldron Islands, Washington. The purpose of the research is to determine which salmonid species and which chinook salmon stocks use the nearshore habitats of the islands. The WEA intends to determine juvenile fish presence and abundance on a monthly basis in 2005 and 2006. The research would benefit listed chinook by providing direct evidence of species- and stock-specific use of nearshore habitats. The information gathered by this research would be used to set priorities for protecting nearshore habitats. The WEA proposes to capture fish using beach seines, surface tow nets, and toss nets. Captured fish would be identified, counted, checked for tags or marks, measured, and released. Fin-clip samples would be collected for genetic analysis from a subsample of the captured fish. The WEA does not intend to kill any of the fish being captured, but a small number may die as an unintended result of the activities. This notice is provided pursuant to section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will evaluate the application, associated documents, and comments submitted to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a) of the ESA and Federal regulations. The final permit decisions will not be made until after the end of the 30–day comment period. NMFS will publish notice of its final action in the Federal Register.
