abundance and distribution in the North
Fork Toutle River and monitor juvenile
salmonids in watersheds affected by the
1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens. The
information collected would be used to
help develop and implement effective
forest management practices and
regulations. The research would benefit
listed species by contributing
information that would help Weyco
maintain high quality habitat and
develop recovery plans for listed
species. Permit 1330 has been in place
for almost five years and is due to expire
on December 31, 2006. Weyco proposes
to capture fish using backpack
electrofishing, measure, and release
them. They 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 1333
The Oregon State University (OSU)
Department of Fisheries and Wildlife is
requesting a 5–year research permit to
take adult and juvenile UWR Chinook
and steelhead during the course of
research designed to evaluate floodplain
and riparian restoration activities, test
the effectiveness of new assessment
tools for conservation planning, and
improve aquatic habitat. The study
would benefit listed salmonids by
helping determine what actions are
needed to restore ecological processes in
salmon and steelhead habitat. Permit
1333 has been in place for almost five
years and is due to expire on December
31, 2006. The OSU proposes to capture
(using boat electrofishing), measure,
examine for abnormalities, and release
juvenile fish. Adult fish may be
encountered but would not be netted.
The OSU does not intend to kill any of
the fish being captured, but a few may
die as an unintended result of the
activities.
Permit 1461
The USGS is requesting a 5–year
research permit that would allow them
to take all fish species covered in this
notice while conducting research at
Crims Island and the Julia Butler
Hanson National Wildlife Refuge in the
lower Columbia River. The purpose of
the research is to determine fish species
composition, habitat use, and salmon
diet composition in the areas sampled.
The data gathered would be used to
guide and determine the effectiveness of
habitat restoration activities in the lower
Columbia River. The species would
benefit from well-planned and
monitored habitat restoration activities
as well as (ultimately) the restored
habitat itself. Permit 1461 has been in
place since 2004; the USGS is
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
requesting that the permit be issued for
an additional five years. Juvenile
salmonids would be collected (using
beach seines, Fyke nets, backpack
electrofishing, and boat electrofishing),
and variously anesthetized, measured
for length and weight, sampled for
stomach contents and scales, marked
(using fluorescent elastomers, Pan-jet
needle-less inocculators, or batchmarked with a flourochrome dye), PITtagged, allowed to recover from the
anesthesia, and released. Not all fish
would undergo all these procedures, but
all would be anesthetized. The USGS
does not intend to kill any fish, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority
Issuance of permits and permit
modifications, as required by the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16
U.S.C. 1531–1543) (ESA), is based on a
finding that such permits/modifications:
(1) are applied for in good faith; (2)
would not operate to the disadvantage
of the listed species which are the
subject of the permits; and (3) are
consistent with the purposes and
policies set forth in section 2 of the
ESA. Authority to take listed species is
subject to conditions set forth in the
permits. Permits and modifications are
issued in accordance with and are
subject to the ESA and NMFS
regulations governing listed fish and
wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 222–226).
