NMFS issues permits based on findings that such permits: (1) are applied for in good faith; (2) if granted and exercised, would not operate to the disadvantage of the listed species that are the subject of the permit; and (3) are consistent with the purposes and policy of section 2 of the ESA. The authority to take listed species is subject to conditions set forth in the permits.

Such hearings are held at the discretion of the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NMFS. Applications Received Permit 1548 - 2R The Yakima Training Center - US Army (YTC) is seeking to renew its permit to annually take listed salmonids while conducting research designed to determine fish abundance and distribution on the YTC lands and describe habitat conditions throughout the 500–square mile reservation. The research will also give regional fish managers previously unavailable data on fish presence. The YTC researchers would capture the fish using backpack electrofishing gear, seines, and minnow traps. Once captured, the fish would be measured, allowed to recover, and released. Some of the steelhead may have scale samples taken. The YTC does not intend to kill any of the fish being taken, but some may die as an unintended result of the activities.

Under the modified permit, they would annually capture, handle, and release juvenile fish from all the species covered by this notice. They would also capture, mark, tag, and release adult LCR coho, Chinook, and steelhead and CR chum. The purpose of the research is to evaluate estuarine habitat restoration efforts. Specific objectives are to (1) determine species composition, relative abundance, and residence time of various listed fish by using pre-restored and restoration project habitats and adjacent references sites; (2) determine prey use by juvenile salmon; and (3) determine prey availability. The research would benefit listed salmonids by determining how effectively currently altered habitats support salmonids and using that information to guide future habitat modifications. The CREST would capture the fish using fyke nets, trap nets, and beach seines. Salmonids would be anesthetized, identified, counted, measured, weighed, checked for tags and hatchery marks, and released. Some of the fish may be tagged with passive integrated transponders, or injected with dye or visible implant elastomers. Fin or scale samples for genetic or age analysis would be taken from a portion of the captured juvenile Chinook salmon. Some of the captured juvenile salmonid would be sampled for stomach contents.

The study was previously conducted under Permit 1559 - 4A and will benefit listed species by providing baseline information about water quality in the study areas and helping managers enforce the Clean Water Act in those river systems where listed fish are present.

The UI researchers would capture pacific lamprey at temporary traps installed near the bottoms of the fishways at the dams. They would also look for lamprey in the fishways and use dipnets to capture them. If listed fish are captured during the dipnetting, they would be released immediately. If they are caught in the lamprey traps, they may be held for up to 11 hours (from 8:00 p.m. when the traps are lowered into place, to 7:00 a.m. when they are pulled and checked), but any captured fish will be released at the moment the trap is checked. The researchers do not expect to kill any listed fish but a small number may die as an unintended result of the research activities. Permit 15461 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is seeking a five-year permit to annually take juvenile threatened SR steelhead during the course of research on Pacific lamprey in the Snake River basin. The research is designed to assess lamprey numbers and habitat in the basin and gauge the effectiveness of a lamprey translocation program. The research will benefit steelhead by generating information that will be used when conducting habitat restoration activities in the basin. The listed fish would be affected by the use of a lowpower electrofishing unit designed to bring lamprey young up out of a stream’s substrate. Any affected steelhead would simply be allowed to escape; they would not be collected or sampled in any manner. The FWS does not expect to kill any listed fish, but a small number may die as an unintended result of the activities. This notice is provided pursuant to section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will evaluate the applications, associated documents, and comments submitted to determine whether the applications meet the requirements of section 10(a) of the ESA and Federal regulations.
