Background
Section 9 of the ESA and Federal
regulations prohibit the ‘‘taking’’ of a
species listed as endangered or
threatened. The term ‘‘take’’ is defined
under the ESA to mean harass, harm,
pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap,
capture, or collect, or to attempt to
engage in any such conduct. NMFS may
issue permits to take listed species for
any act otherwise prohibited by section
9 for scientific purposes or to enhance
the propagation or survival of the
affected species, under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA. NMFS
regulations governing permits for
threatened and endangered species are
promulgated at 50 CFR 222.307.
The co-managers and funding
agencies, including the NPT, WDFW,
ODFW, IDFG, LSRCP, IPC, and BPA,
have submitted to NMFS applications
for two permits, pursuant to section

Authority
This notice is provided pursuant to
section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will
evaluate each application, associated
documents, and comments submitted
thereon to determine whether the
applications meet the requirements of
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA. If it is
determined that the requirements are
met, permits will be issued to the NPT,
WDFW, ODFW, IDFG, LSRCP, IPC, and
BPA for the purpose of carrying out the
hatchery programs. NMFS will publish
a record of its final action in the Federal
Register.
