SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority
Issuance of permits and permit
modifications, as required by the ESA of
1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531–1543), is based on
a finding that such permits/
modifications: (1) Are applied for in
good faith; (2) would not operate to the
disadvantage of the listed species which
are the subject of the permits; and (3)
are consistent with the purposes and
policies set forth in section 2 of the
ESA. Authority to take listed species is
subject to conditions set forth in the
permits. Permits and modifications are
issued in accordance with and are
subject to the ESA and NMFS
regulations governing listed fish and
wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 222–226).
Those individuals requesting a
hearing on an application listed in this
notice should set out the specific
reasons why a hearing on that
application would be appropriate (see
ADDRESSES). The holding of such a
hearing is at the discretion of the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NOAA. All statements and opinions
contained in the permit action
summaries are those of the applicant
and do not necessarily reflect the views
of NMFS.

Species Covered in This Notice
This notice is relevant to Federally
endangered Sacramento River winterrun Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha), threatened Central Valley
spring-run Chinook salmon (O.
tshawytscha), threatened California
Central Valley steelhead (O. mykiss),
and threatened Southern distinct
population segment of North American
green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris).
Applications Received
FISHBIO requests a 5-year permit
(16531) for an estimated annual take of
adult and juvenile steelhead associated
with research studies linking habitat
and spatial variability in the Merced
River, a tributary to the San Joaquin
River, in the Central Valley, California.
Activities proposed under Permit 16531
include evaluation of the effects of
attraction flow augmentation on adult
salmonid migration timing and
salmonid spawning and rearing habitats;
and data collection on fry and juvenile
salmonid abundance, outmigration and
survival in the lower Merced River.
Indirect mortality of steelhead may
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
occur during the implementation of
research activities authorized under
Permit 16531.
FISHBIO proposes to monitor a fish
counting weir operating from October 1
through December 31, in the lower
Merced River, for enumeration of
upstream migrating salmonids in
conjunction with flow augmentation of
the Merced River. FISHBIO will use a
Didson sonar camera to observe fish
migration at the weir. No mortality is
anticipated with monitoring at the weir.
FISHBIO proposes to monitor annual
juvenile salmonid outmigration from
January 1 through June 15, by rotary
screw trapping in the upper and lower
Merced River. Captured fish will be
identified to species and enumerated. A
subsample of 30 juvenile salmonids will
be sedated with tricaine
methanesulfonate (MS–222), measured
for lengths and weights, allowed to
recover and will be released
downstream. FISHBIO does not propose
lethal take of fish being captured but
some fish may expire as an
unintentional result of research
activities.
FISHBIO requests authorization for an
estimated annual take of 25 naturalorigin adult California Central Valley
steelhead associated with observation
and harassment during monitoring at
the Merced River weir. FISHBIO
requests authorization for an estimated
annual take of 10 (2 indirect mortality)
natural-origin adult California Central
Valley steelhead; and 50 (5 indirect
mortality) natural-origin juvenile
California Central Valley steelhead
associated with capture by rotary screw
trap, handling, anesthetization, and
release downstream of the Merced River
trapping sites.
DWR–ES requests a 3-year permit
(16543) to investigate predation of
migrating native fishes as part of an ongoing investigation of predation
dynamics in the Sacramento-San
Joaquin River Delta (delta), in the
Central Valley, California. DWR–ES
proposes to research predation by
introduced and native resident fishes at
six specific sites across fish migration
corridors in the delta. The study will be
conducted from November 30, 2011, to
August 1, 2013, and will involve fish
capture by gillnet and genetic analysis
of trapped fish gut contents of various
prey items. ESA-listed adult salmonids
and green sturgeon incidentally
collected in the gill nets will be
measured and released after sufficient
recovery in an aerated holding tank.
DWR–ES requests authorization for the
annual take of 5 (1 indirect mortality)

implementation of research activities
authorized under Permit 16543.

the Northeast Multispecies Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The
Committee will discuss Acceptable
Biological Catch (ABCs) and Annual
Catch Limits (ACLs) for FY 2012–14.
This may include consideration of a

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
I certify that the following action will
not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The major factors considered for this
certification were:
1. The action will not result in any
additional reporting, recordkeeping or
other compliance requirements for small
entities other than the small
organizations that will furnish the
products and services to the
Government.
2. The action will result in
authorizing small entities to furnish the
products and services to the
Government.
3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in
connection with the products and
services proposed for addition to the
Procurement List.
