Chapter 35). Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Title: NOAA Teacher-At-Sea Program. OMB Control Number: 0648–0283. Form Number(s): NA. Type of Request: Regular submission. Number of Respondents: 375. Average Hours Per Response: Applications, one hour and 15 minutes; follow-up reports, 2 hours; recommendations, 15 minutes. Burden Hours: 309. Needs and Uses: Consistent with the support for research and education under the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. 32 1440) and other coastal and marine protection legislation, NOAA provides educators an opportunity to gain first-hand experience with field research activities through the Teacher-at-Sea Program. Through this program, educators spend up to 3 weeks at sea on a NOAA research vessel, participating in an ongoing research project with NOAA VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:17 Jun 21, 2010 Jkt 220001 scientists. The application solicits information from interested educators: basic personal information, teaching experience and ideas for applying program experience in their classrooms, plus two recommendations and a NOAA Health Services Questionnaire required of anyone going to sea. Once educators are selected and participate on a cruise, they write a report detailing the events of the cruise and ideas for classroom activities based on what they learned while at sea. These materials are then made available to other educators so they may benefit from the experience, without actually going to sea themselves. NOAA does not collect information from this universe of respondents for any other purpose. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Frequency: Annually and on occasion. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395–3897. Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance Officer, (202) 482–0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at dHynek@doc.gov). Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, FAX number (202) 395–7285, or David_Rostker@omb.eop.gov.

In an application package received on April 20, 2010, the Nisqually Indian Tribe (Tribe) submitted an application to NMFS for a section 10(a)(1)(A) permit (permit number 15522). The Tribe proposes to install a low-impact floating weir on the Nisqually River, a tributary to Puget Sound in Washington State. The weir is intended for monitoring and research on adult Chinook salmon. The project has three objectives: (1) To complement existing adult salmonid monitoring efforts in the Nisqually River in developing accurate and precise estimates of total abundance, (2) to promote recovery of the Nisqually River fall Chinook salmon population through removal of escaping hatchery-origin Chinook salmon adults to increase productivity and intra-population diversity and promote local adaptation, and (3) use Chinook salmon demographic, biological, and genetic data collected through the weir operation to evaluate the effects of hatchery-origin Chinook salmon removal on natural Chinook salmon productivity and develop an adaptive management-based terminal area management plan for the species. This notice is provided pursuant to section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will evaluate the application, associated documents, and comments submitted thereon to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA. If it is determined that the requirements are met, a permit will be issued to the Tribe for the purpose of installing the weir and carrying out the research and enhancement program. NMFS will publish a record of its final action in the Federal Register. Dated: June 16, 2010.

``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
