ACTION: Application for a scientific
research permit (1535).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
NMFS has received a scientific research
permit application request relating to
Pacific salmon. The proposed research
is intended to increase knowledge of
species listed under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) and to help guide
management and conservation efforts.
DATES: Comments or requests for a
public hearing on the application must
be received no later than 5 p.m. Pacific
daylight-saving time on August 25,
2005.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on the
application should be sent to Protected
Resources Division, NMFS, 1201 NE
Lloyd Blvd., Suite 1100, Portland, OR
97232–1274. Comments may also be
sent via fax to 503–230–5441 or by email to resapps.nwr@NOAA.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Garth Griffin, Portland, OR (ph.: 503–

Garth.Griffin@noaa.gov). Permit
application instructions are available at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Species Covered in This Notice
The following listed species
(evolutionarily significant unit) is
covered in this notice:
Puget Sound (PS) Chinook salmon
(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha).
Authority
Scientific research permits are issued
in accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A)
of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq) and
regulations governing listed fish and
wildlife permits (50 CFR 222–226).
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
NMFS issues permits based on findings
that such permits: (1) are applied for in
good faith; (2) if granted and exercised,
would not operate to the disadvantage
of the listed species that are the subject
of the permit; and (3) are consistent
with the purposes and policy of section
2 of the ESA. The authority to take
listed species is subject to conditions set
forth in the permits.
Anyone requesting a hearing on an
application listed in this notice should
set out the specific reasons why a
hearing on that application would be
appropriate (see ADDRESSES). Such
hearings are held at the discretion of the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NMFS.
Applications Received
Permit 1535
R2 Resource Consultants, Inc. (R2RC)
is requesting a 2–year permit to take
juvenile PS Chinook salmon during the
course of two studies in the lower Green
River watershed in Washington State.
Study 1 would take place in the Green
River Natural Resources Area (GRNRA),
near the City of Kent, Washington, and
Study 2 would take place in numerous
streams and waterways within the City
of Kent itself. The purpose of both
studies is to ascertain where juvenile
salmonids reside within the city’s
waters. The first study would determine
how and when salmonids use the
constructed habitat of the GRNRA
detention lagoon. The second would
identify streams and waterways within
the city that contain salmonids. The fish
would benefit from the research because
the city of Kent would better be able to
protect these important habitat areas
once they are identified.
R2RC proposes to use two types of
electrofishing set-ups: barge-based and
backpack. The barge-based system
would be used in Study 1, in the
GRNRA detention lagoon. The backpack
electrofishing unit would be used in
Study 2. Depending on flow conditions,
a fyke net may be used to monitor fish
migration in the GRNRA. The net would
be deployed and monitored for five
consecutive days. Supplemental
sampling may be conducted using
minnow traps. All fish would be
captured with a dip net and placed into
a darkened recovery unit where they
would be anesthetized, identified by
species, and measured. R2RC does not
intend to kill any of the fish being
captured in either study, 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
