Research activities associated with Project 1 include the capture of juvenile steelhead by boat electrofishing or seine block nets, tagging adult steelhead with radio and acoustic telemetry tags for tracking, recapture of tagged steelhead to calculate individual growth rates and to estimate population survival rates, taking length-weight measurements for calculating condition, and collecting scales and otoliths from adult steelhead to provide life history information on the Feather River population. Project 2 researches characteristics of spring-run Chinook salmon holding pools and spawning habitats, spring-run migration timing, and spring-run salmon holding survival to spawning. Research activities associated with Project 2 include the capture of springrun by angling, the tagging of spring-run with radio, acoustic tags and Hallprint tags, and the tracking of spring-run to understand movement and holding patterns of spring-run migration within the Feather River. Project 3 researches impacts to green sturgeon in the lower Feather River from operational effects of Oroville Dam on river flow, temperature and green sturgeon habitat. Research activities associated with Project 3 include the capture of green sturgeon by fyke trap, gill/trammel net, trot line, and boat electrofisher; acoustic-tagging and tracking of green sturgeon to evaluate migration patterns, residence times, migration barriers; and identifying potential spawning grounds for green surgeon egg and larval surveys.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 18, 2008, notice was published in the Federal Register (73 FR 77009), that a request for a scientific research permit to take Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon, Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon, Central Valley steelhead, and southern DPS of North American green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) had been submitted by the above-named organization. The requested permit has been issued 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 parts 222–226). Researchers will annually conduct site specific research at three irrigation diversion canal sites off the Sacramento River, within the Colusa, Sutter, and Yolo counties of the Central Valley, California. Entrained fish will be captured by fyke net, identified as to species/race, enumerated, measured for length, and placed back into the PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 diversion canals; all entrained live fish will be placed back into the Sacramento River. This research is part of an ongoing investigation into developing criteria for prioritizing fish screening projects, and will correlate fish entrainment with the physical, hydraulic, and habitat variables at each diversion site. The permit is issued for 2 years. Issuance of this permit, 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 any endangered or threatened species, and (3) is consistent with the purposes and policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA.
