Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 72 / Thursday, April 16, 2009 / Notices
of the Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
the regulations governing the taking,
importing, and exporting of endangered
and threatened species (50 CFR 222–
226).
Permit No. 10027, issued on July 30,
2008 (73 FR 44224), authorizes the
permit holder to study the population
biology and connectivity of green
(Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill
(Eretmochelys imbricata) sea turtles
focusing on distribution and abundance,
ecology, health, and threats to sea
turtles at the Palmyra Atoll in the
Pacific Ocean. The permit holder
requests a modification to their existing
permit to increase the number of green
sea turtles they may take each year.
Researchers propose to annually
satellite tag up to 16 animals; annually
sonic transmitter tag up to 30 animals;
annually blood and tissue sample up to
100 animals; annually flipper and PIT
tag up to 100 animals; and annually
gastric lavage up to 50 animals. The
modification would allow them to more
quickly accumulate appropriate sample
sizes so that information from the study
can help inform conservation and
management of this species in the
Pacific. The amended permit would
expire July 31, 2013.
Dated: April 10, 2009.

On August
4, 2008, notice was published in the
Federal Register (73 FR 45215) that a
modification of Permit No. 1549 had
been requested by the above-named
individual. The requested modification
has been granted under the authority of
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
and the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR 222–226).
In addition to all research activities
authorized under Permit No. 1549, this
modification authorizes the researcher
to conduct new research in the
Merrimack River to: (1) take 200 adult/
large juvenile and 100 small juvenile (0–
3 years) shortnose sturgeon; (2) use
trawls for capture of smaller juveniles;
(3) telemetry tag 15 adults/large
juveniles and 15 early juveniles; (4)
change the action area to include the
Estuary to I–495 at Haverhill, MA; and
(5) increase incidental mortality of
shortnose sturgeon to a total of two
sturgeon, but only one adult per year.
The purpose of the modification is to
provide a mark/recapture population
estimate of shortnose sturgeon for the
river and to provide evidence for
recolonization verses recruitment to
explain an apparent recent increase in
abundance of shortnose sturgeon
recently found in the river. This
modification is valid through the
expiration date of the original permit,
January 31, 2012.
Issuance of this modification, as
required by the ESA, was based on a
finding that such permit (1) was applied
for in good faith, (2) will not operate to
the disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.
