Please include the following on the cover page of the fax ‘‘ATTN: OC coho Recovery Coordinator.’’ Rob Walton, OC coho Recovery Coordinator, (503) 231–2285 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS is charged with the recovery of OC coho, a species listed under the ESA. Recovery means that listed species and their ecosystems are restored, and their future secured, so that the protections of the ESA are no longer necessary. The ESA specifies that recovery plans must include: (1) A description of management actions necessary to achieve the plan’s goals for the conservation and survival of the species; (2) objective, measurable criteria which, when met, would result in the species being removed from the list; and (3) estimates of the time and costs required to achieve the plan’s goal and the intermediate steps towards that goal. Section 4(f) of the ESA, as amended in 1988, requires that public notice and an opportunity for public review and comment be provided during recovery plan development. We are soliciting relevant information related to OC coho and their freshwater/marine habitats, including: 1. Criteria for removing OC coho from the list of threatened and endangered species; 2. Human activities that contribute to the ESA listing factors (section 4(a)(1)(A)–(E)): (A) the present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat or range; (B) overutilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes; (C) disease or predation; (D) the inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; (E) other natural or manmade factors affecting its continued existence. 3. Physical, biological or chemical features of the environment that limit the recovery of OC coho; 4. Strategies and/or actions necessary to recover OC coho; mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:18 Jun 24, 2013 Jkt 229001 5. Estimates of time and cost to implement recovery actions; 6. Critical knowledge gaps and/or uncertainties that need to be resolved to better inform recovery efforts; and 7. Research, monitoring and evaluation needs to address knowledge gaps and uncertainties, to assess the species’ status, or to evaluate progress in addressing the ESA listing factors relative to recovery goals. Upon completion, the proposed Recovery Plan will be available for public review and comment through the publication of a Federal Register Notice. Preliminary Table of Contents We have developed a draft table of contents for the proposed Recovery Plan for OC coho which can be accessed at https://www.nwr.noaa.gov/protected_ species/salmon_steelhead/recovery_ planning_and_implementation/oregon_ coast/oregon_coast_salmon_recovery_ domain.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject modification to Permit No. 15661, issued on January 24, 2012 (77 FR 13097) is requested under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR 222–226). Permit No. 15661 authorizes the permit holder to characterize population structure, size class composition, foraging ecology, and migration patterns for green (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) sea turtles in the Northern Mariana Islands (NMI). Authorized research consists of counts and hand captures of sea turtles during vessel surveys. Captured sea turtles may be measured, weighed, flipper and passive integrated transponder tagged, temporarily marked, tissue sampled, photographed and released. A subset of the turtles may be satellite tagged before release and then tracked from the vessel. Sea turtle carcasses, tissues or parts may be opportunistically salvaged each year. The permit holder now requests authorization to collect blood and scute samples from up to 20 green and 20 hawksbill sea turtles per year, a subset of those currently authorized for capture. This sampling would allow for analysis of a broad suite of environmental pollutants that may be threatening the health of sea turtles in the NMI. All other research objectives, capture methods, take numbers, action areas, and activities would remain unchanged. The modification would be E:\FR\FM\25JNN1.SGM 25JNN1
