ACTION: Applications for six new scientific research permits, one permit modification, and three research permit renewals. AGENCY: Notice is hereby given that NMFS has received 10 scientific research permit application requests relating to Pacific salmon, sturgeon, rockfish, and eulachon. The proposed research is intended to increase knowledge of species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and to help guide management and conservation efforts. The applications may be viewed online at: https://apps. nmfs.noaa.gov/preview/preview_open_ for_comment.cfm. DATES: Comments or requests for a public hearing on the applications must be received at the appropriate address or mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:18 Mar 20, 2014 Jkt 232001 15729 listed species is subject to conditions set forth in the permits. Anyone 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). Such hearings are held at the discretion of the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NMFS. Applications Received Permit 1127–4R The following listed species are covered in this notice: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): threatened California Coastal (CC); threatened Central Valley spring-run (CVS); threatened Lower Columbia River (LCR); threatened Puget Sound (PS); endangered Sacramento River winter-run (SRW); threatened Snake River (SR) fall-run; threatened SR spring/summer-run (spr/sum); endangered Upper Columbia River (UCR) spring-run; threatened Upper Willamette River (UWR). Steelhead (O. mykiss): threatened UCR; threatened SR; threatened middle Columbia River (MCR); threatened California Central Valley (CCV); threatened LCR; threatened Northern California (NC); threatened PS; threatened South-Central California Coast (SCC); threatened UWR. Sockeye salmon (O. nerka): endangered SR. Chum salmon (O. keta): threatened Columbia River (CR). Coho salmon (O. kisutch): threatened LCR; threatened Oregon Coast (OC); threatened Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast (SONCC). Eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus): threatened southern DPS (S. eulachon). The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes are seeking to renew their permit to annually take listed SR Chinook salmon and steelhead while conducting research designed to (1) monitor adult and juvenile fish in key upper Snake River subbasin watersheds, (2) assess the utility of hatchery Chinook salmon in increasing natural populations in the Salmon and Clearwater Rivers, and (3) evaluate the genetic and ecological impacts of hatchery Chinook salmon on natural populations. The fish would primarily benefit from the research in two ways. First, the research would broadly be used to help guide restoration and recovery efforts throughout the Snake River basin. Second, and more specifically, the research would be used to determine how hatchery supplementation can be used as a tool for salmon recovery. The researchers would use screw traps, weirs, and electrofishing to capture the listed fish. Once captured, the fish would undergo various sampling, tagging, and handling regimes; they would then be allowed to recover and released. Some tissue samples would be taken from adult fish carcasses, and the researchers would conduct some snorkeling surveys and redd counts. In all cases, trained crews would conduct the operations, no adult salmonids would be electrofished, and all activities would take place in the Salmon River subbasin. The researchers are not proposing to kill any of the fish they capture, but some may die as an unintended result of the research. Authority Permit 1410–8R Scientific research permits are issued in accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq) and regulations governing listed fish and wildlife permits (50 CFR 222–226). 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 The Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) is requesting to renew permit 1410 for a period of five years. The permit would authorize the NWFSC to annually take adult and juvenile fish from all of the listed salmon, steelhead, and eulachon in this notice while conducting a study of the Columbia River plume and the surrounding ocean environment. The purpose of the research is to: (a) Determine the abundance, distribution, growth and condition of juvenile Columbia River PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\21MRN1.SGM 21MRN1
