SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Species Covered in This Notice
The following listed species
(evolutionarily significant units) are
covered in this notice:
Lower Columbia River (LCR) coho
salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
LCR steelhead (O. mykiss)
LCR Chinook salmon (O.
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).

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 1550
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS) is asking for a 5-year research
permit to take LCR coho salmon and
LCR Chinook salmon in Abernathy
Creek, Washington a tributary to the
Lower Columbia River. The research is
designed to determine the natural
reproductive success and mean relative
fitness of hatchery-origin and naturalorigin steelhead and assess the overall
demographic effects of hatchery fish
supplementation in Abernathy Creek
relative to two adjacent control streams,
Germany and Mill Creeks. The study
will benefit listed coho salmon by
providing information on abundance
and distribution that could be used over
the long-term to protect important

habitat. The FWS proposes to capture
using backpack electrofishing
equipment handle, and release listed
salmonids. The FWS does not intend to
kill any fish being captured but some
may die as an unintentional result of the
research activities.

Modification Requests Received
For permits 1252, 1290, 1318, 1322,
1338, 1379, 1386, 1410, 1421, 1427,
1461, 1478, 1479, 1484, 1487, 1519, and
1525, the activities would only be
modified to include take of LCR coho
salmon; no other changes are proposed.
Further information on the actions
covered by these permits may be
obtained from previous notices and on
the web site https://www.nwr.noaa.gov/
1salmon/salmesa/permit.htm.
Permit 1330 currently authorizes the
Weyerhaeuser Company to take juvenile
LCR steelhead in the Toutle River Basin,
Washington. They are asking to modify
their permit to add LCR coho salmon
take and increase the annual number of
LCR steelhead taken in the research.
The purpose of the research is to
increase understanding of the
relationship between aquatic organisms
and their habitat, determine how forest
management and restoration influence
the aquatic ecosystem, and produce data
to help develop forest management
practices that better protect aquatic
resources. The research would benefit
listed salmonids by producing data on
their natural habitat recovery processes
and by identifying the effects that
various stressors have on listed species.
Weyerhaeuser proposes to observe
(during snorkeling surveys), capture
(using backpack electrofishing),
anesthetize, identify, measure, weigh,
and release the fish. Weyerhaeuser does
not intend to kill any fish being
captured but some may die as an
unintentional result of the research
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.

1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.,
Federal agencies are required to publish
notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for
public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on
requirements relating to off-exchange
agricultural trade options.

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the CFTC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information listed below.
With respect to the following
collection of information, the CFTC
invites comments on:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

Off-Exchange Agricultural Trade
Options, OMB Control Number 3038–
0048—Extension
In April 1998, the CFTC removed the
prohibition on off-exchange trade
options on the enumerated agricultural
commodities subject to a number of
regulatory requirements 63 FR 18821
(Apr. 16, 1998). Thereafter, the
Commission streamlined the regulatory
and paperwork burdens in order to
increase the utility of agricultural trade
options while maintaining basic
customer protections. 64 FR 68011 (Dec.
6, 1999). Based on its experience in
administering this program, the
Commission has determined that its
estimates of the burden of this
collection of information remains
unchanged based on the number of
firms and individuals that may apply for
registration. Responses to the collection
of information are mandatory pursuant
to section 4c(b) of the Commodity
Exchange Act.
The Commission estimates the burden

ACTION: Notice extending deadline for
Demonstration Project.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On November 5, 2001, the
Department of Defense (DoD) published
a notice of a Nationwide TRICARE
Demonstration Project (66 FR 55928–
55930). On October 1, 2004, the
Department of Defense (DoD) published
a notice (69 FR 58895) to extend the
Demonstration through October 31,
2005. The Demonstration is also referred
to as the Operation Noble Eagle/
Enduring Freedom Reservist and
National Guard Benefits Demonstration.
This notice is to advise interested
parties of the continuation of the
Demonstration in which the DoD
Military Health System addresses
unreasonable impediments to the
continuity of healthcare encountered by
certain family members of Reservists
and National Guardsmen called to

active duty in support of a Federal/
contingency operation. The
Demonstration scheduled to end on
October 31, 2005, is now extended
through October 31, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Office of the Assistance Secretary of
Defense for Health Affairs, TRICARE
Management Activity, TRICARE
Operations Directorate at (703) 681–
0039.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Continuing levels of about 170,000
Reserve Component members activated
in support of Noble Eagle/Operation
Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi
Freedom in FY 2005 warrants the
continuation of the Demonstration to
support the healthcare needs and
morale of family members of activated
reservists and guardsmen. The National
Defense Authorization Act of 2005
amended existing statutes that will
enable the Secretary of Defense to
provide these benefits permanently by
regulation. The Demonstration needs to
be extended to provide sufficient time
for the rule-making process to establish
the new regulation. The impact if the
Demonstration is not extended, before
permanent regulation is promulgated,
includes higher out-of-pocket costs and
potential inability to continue to use the
same provider for ongoing care. There
are three separate components to the
demonstration. First, those who
participate in TRICARE Standard will
not be responsible for paying the
TRICARE Standard deductible. By law,
the TRICARE Standard deductible for
active duty dependents is $150 per
individual, $300 per family ($50/$150
for E–4’s and below). The second
PO 00000
Frm 00009

component extends TRICARE payments
up to 115 percent of the TRICARE
maximum allowable charge, less the
applicable patient co-payment, for care
received from a provider that does not
participate (accept assignment) under
TRICARE to the extent necessary to
ensure timely access to care and
clinically appropriate continuity of care.
Third, the Demonstration authorizes a
waiver of the non-availability statement
requirement of non-emergency inpatient
care. This Demonstration project is
being conducted under the authority of
10 U.S.C. 1092. This Demonstration is
extended through October 31, 2007.
