Permit 14688 was issued to Natural Resource Scientists, Incorporated on September 21, 2010, authorizing the capture (by fyke net), handling (identification and enumeration of species, taking of length measurements), tissue sampling, release of moribund fish or fish carcasses back into irrigation diversion canals, and release of live fish on the riverside of the canals of ESAlisted juvenile salmonids and sturgeon. Permit 14688 authorizes non-lethal take during the collection of physical, hydraulic, and habitat data at five irrigation diversion canals; the research of fish entrainiment in relation to diverted river flows; and the development of prioritization criteria for fish screening projects. Permit 14688 expires on December 31, 2011. NMFS has determined that take levels authorized in the described permits will not jeopardize listed Chinook salmon, steelhead, and green sturgeon nor result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat where described. NMFS’ conditions in the permits will ensure that the take of ESAlisted anadromous fish will not jeopardize the continued existence of the listed species. Issuance of each 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.

SUMMARY: Federal regulations at 50 CFR 665.816 allow NMFS to issue new permits for the American Samoa pelagic longline limited entry program if the number of permits in a size class falls below the maximum allowed. At least seven permits are available for issuance (note that the number of available permits may change before the application period closes): four in Class A (vessels less than or equal to 40 ft (12.2 m)), and three in Class B (over 40 ft (12.2 m) through 50 ft (15.2 m)). Persons with the earliest documented participation in the fishery on a Class A sized vessel will receive the highest priority for obtaining permits in any size class, followed by persons with the earliest documented participation in Classes B, C, and D, in that order. If there is a tie in priority, the person with the second earliest documented participation will be ranked higher in priority.
