SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority
The issuance of Scientific Purposes
and Enhancement of Survival Permit
permits by NMFS, as required by the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16
U.S.C. 1531–1543) (ESA), is based on a
finding that such permits: (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 (50 CFR parts 222–
226) governing listed fish and wildlife
permits.
Species Covered in This Notice
This notice is relevant to federally
threatened Southern Oregon/Northern
California Coast coho salmon
(Oncorhynchus kisutch).
Background
On January 8, 2013 NMFS announced
in the Federal Register a notice of
receipt of a Scientific Purposes and
Enhancement of Survival Permit
application and draft Hatchery and
Genetic Management Plan (HGMP) from
the California Department of Fish and
Game, now Wildlife (CDFW), for a 10
year period (78 FR 1201). On January
30, 2013 NMFS published a corrected
Federal Register notice with
clarifications regarding the comment
period (78 FR 6298) which ended March
1, 2013. The draft HGMP specified
methods of operation for the Iron Gate
hatchery coho salmon program located
along the Klamath River, within the
State of California. NMFS also
announced the availability of a Draft
Environmental Assessment (EA)
regarding issuance of a permit
authorizing take of coho salmon
associated with implementation of the
HGMP. Public review and comment
were invited on both the draft HGMP
and the draft EA. The public review and
comment period ended on March 1,
2013. NMFS did not receive any
comment letters on the Draft HGMP or
the Draft EA during the public review
period.
The HGMP will be implemented as
part of the existing coho salmon
artificial propagation program at Iron
Gate Hatchery. Actions taken pursuant
to the permit are designed to enhance
the survival of coho salmon residing in
the Upper Klamath River below Iron
Gate Dam. The HGMP incorporates two
E:\FR\FM\21NON1.SGM
21NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 225 / Friday, November 21, 2014 / Notices
main components: Artificial
propagation and monitoring and
evaluation (M&E). Artificial propagation
activities that could lead to the take of
listed coho salmon include: Adult
broodstock collection, spawning,
rearing, handling, evaluation, tagging
and release of progeny. Once the threat
of demographic extinction is reduced,
the number of hatchery adult coho
salmon allowed to spawn naturally in
Bogus Creek may be controlled to insure
that the proportionate natural influence
(PNI) for spawning coho salmon exceeds
0.5 (PNI > 0.5). The purpose for
controlling the PNI is to have natural
environment rather than the hatchery
environment drive local adaptation and
selection processes to improve genetic
fitness. The HGMP includes measures to
increase the fertilization of eggs and
survival rate for each life stage and to
minimize the likelihood of genetic or
ecological effects to listed natural fish
resulting from the hatchery operations
and propagation of hatchery fish.
Monitoring and evaluation will occur by
conducting coho spawning ground and
carcass surveys in the mainstem
Klamath River and key tributary streams
that comprise habitat for the Upper
Klamath River coho salmon population
unit. These data will be used to estimate
adult natural and hatchery escapement
levels and spawn timing in key streams
for the Upper Klamath population unit
as a whole. M&E activities will also
collect necessary data to document
achievement of performance indicators
specified in the HGMP.
Take of adult and juvenile coho
salmon associated with Permit 15755 is
described in the NMFS permit and
particularly detailed in Table 1 of the
permit. Permit 15755 expires on August
31, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a three
step process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
