PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
five consecutive years resulting from the
capture (by boat electrofisher, angling,
trot line, gill/trammel net, beach seine),
handling, anesthetizing, enumerating,
measuring, tagging (pittag, radio tag,
acoustic telemetry tag, Hallprint floytag), tissue (scale, otolith) sampling and
analysis, releasing, and non-intentional
mortality of fish, in association with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) Project No. 2100 Settlement
Agreement for the re-licensing of the
Oroville- Thermalito Complex Project:
Project 1 researches wild steelhead
site-fidelity and growth through markrecapture methods. 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.

ACTION: Notice, issuance of permit.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
Natural Resource Scientists,
Incorporated (NRS), P.O. Box 1210, Red
Bluff, CA, 96080, has been issued a
permit to take Sacramento River winterrun Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha), Central Valley spring-run
Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), and
California steelhead (O. mykiss) for
purposes of scientific research.
ADDRESSES: The permit and related
documents are available for review
upon written request or by appointment
in the following office(s): Permits,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Shirley Witalis, phone (916)930–3606.
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.
