SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Propane Education and Research Act of
1996 (Pub. L. 104–284) established the
Propane Education and Research
Council to enhance consumer and
employee safety and training, to provide
for research and development of clean
and efficient propane utilization
equipment, and to inform and educate
the public about safety and other issues
associated with the use of propane.
Section 12 of the Act requires the
Secretary of Commerce to prepare and
submit to Congress and the Secretary of
Energy a report examining whether
operation of the Council, in conjunction
with the cumulative effects of market
changes and Federal programs, has had
an effect on propane consumers,
including residential, agriculture,
process, and nonfuel users of propane.
The Secretary of Commerce shall
consider and, to the extent practicable,
shall include in the report submissions
by propane consumers, and shall
consider whether: (1) There have been
long-term and short-term effects on
propane prices as a result of the
Council’s activities and Federal
programs; and (2) whether there have
been changes in the proportion of
propane demand attributable to various
market segments. If the report
demonstrates that there has been an
adverse effect related to the Council’s
activities, the Secretary of Commerce
shall make recommendations for
correcting the situation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is relevant to the following
species and evolutionarily significant
units (ESUs) or distinct population
segments (DPSs):
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha): threatened, Snake River
spring/summer-run, and threatened,
Snake River fall-run.
Sockeye salmon (O. nerka):
endangered, Snake River.
Steelhead (O. mykiss): threatened,
Snake River Basin.
Background
Section 9 of the ESA and Federal
regulations prohibit the ‘‘taking’’ of a
species listed as endangered or
threatened. The term ‘‘take’’ is defined
under the ESA to mean harass, harm,
pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,
capture, or collect, or to attempt to
engage in any such conduct. NMFS may
issue permits, under limited
E:\FR\FM\24MRN1.SGM
24MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 56 / Wednesday, March 24, 2010 / Notices
circumstances, to take listed species if
such taking is incidental to, and not the
purpose of, the carrying out of an
otherwise lawful activity, under section
10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA. NMFS
regulations governing permits for
threatened and endangered species are
promulgated at 50 CFR 222.307.
In an application package received on
December 31, 2009, the IDFG submitted
an application to NMFS for a
modification to existing ESA section
10(a)(1)(B) permit 1481. The
modification would extend the duration
of permit 1481 by one year, until May
31, 2011. The purpose of the extension
is to provide authorization for
recreational fisheries in Idaho affecting
ESA-listed anadromous salmon and
steelhead, while a coordinated harvest
management framework process is
developed by co-managers in the basin.
Other than the extended duration,
fisheries would be implemented under
the proposed extension consistent with
the current permit.
This notice is provided pursuant to
section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will
evaluate each application package,
associated documents, and comments
submitted thereon to determine whether
the applications meets the requirements
of section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA. If it is
determined that the requirements are
met, permit 1481 will be extended for
one year, and the modified permit will
be issued to the IDFG. NMFS will
publish a record of its final action in the
Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Species Covered in This Notice
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha): endangered, naturally
produced and artificially propagated
Upper Columbia River spring-run.
Steelhead (O. mykiss): threatened,
naturally produced and artificially
propagated Upper Columbia River.
Background
Section 9 of the ESA and Federal
regulations prohibit the ‘‘taking’’ of a
species listed as endangered or
threatened. The term ‘‘take’’ is defined
under the ESA to mean harass, harm,

engage in any such conduct. NMFS may
issue permits to take listed species for
any act otherwise prohibited by section
9 for scientific purposes or to enhance
the propagation or survival of the
affected species, under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA. NMFS
regulations governing permits for
threatened and endangered species are
promulgated at 50 CFR 222.307.
In an application received on October
15, 2009, the Chelan PUD submitted an
application to NMFS for an ESA section
10(a)(1)(A) permit for the direct take of
ESA listed upper Columbia River spring
Chinook salmon from the Chiwawa
River in order to carry out an artificial
propagation (hatchery) program to
enhance the species. The purpose of this
program is to mitigate for un-avoidable
mortality of upper Columbia River
spring Chinook salmon at Rock Island
and Rocky Reach Dams as well as to
conserve, and ultimately restore the
naturally spawning Chiwawa River
spring Chinook salmon spawning
aggregate, which is part of the
Wenatchee population within the Upper
Columbia River basin.
In an application received on October
15, 2009, the Chelan PUD submitted an
application to NMFS for an ESA section

order to carry out an artificial
propagation (hatchery) program to
enhance the species. The purpose of this

February 25, 2010, the Grant PUD
submitted an application with an
addendum to NMFS for an ESA section
10(a)(1)(A) permit for the direct take of
ESA listed upper Columbia River spring
Chinook salmon from the Nason Creek
in order to carry out an artificial
propagation (hatchery) program to
enhance the species. The purpose of this
program is to mitigate for un-avoidable
mortality of spring Chinook salmon at
Priest Rapids and Wanapum Dams as
well as to conserve, and ultimately
restore the naturally spawning Nason
Creek spring Chinook salmon spawning
aggregate, which is part of the
Wenatchee population within the Upper
Columbia River basin.
