Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 232 / Monday, December 4, 2006 / Notices
Transponder (PIT) tags in steelhead
smolts. This study will be conducted
during 3 years with sufficient flows and
number of smolts. Due to the patterns of
dry and wet years for this region it may
take as many as 10 years to get the
desired 3 years of data. Therefore, the
duration of coverage requested by this
permit covers about a 10-year period
from January 2006 through July 2015.
Elise Kelley has requested an annual
non-lethal take of up to 575 steelhead.
The annual unintentional lethal take
that may occur during data collection is
up to 16 steelhead or no more than 3 per
cent of the total captured.
