information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the Service; (2)
will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the Service enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (5) how might the
Service minimize the burden of this
collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The administration and uses
of national wildlife refuges and wetland
management districts are governed by
the National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Administration Act), as
amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of
1997; the Refuge Recreation Act of 1962
(16 U.S.C. 460k–460k–4) (Recreation
Act); and, the Alaska National Interest
Lands Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 3101
et seq.) (ANILCA). ANILCA provides
specific authorization and guidance for
the administration and management of
national wildlife refuges within the
State of Alaska.
The Yukon Delta National Wildlife
Refuge (YDNWR) is requesting
authorization to contribute to the design
and implementation of subsistence
fisher surveys for the purposes of
informing in-season fisheries
management decision-making in the
Kuskokwim River subsistence salmon
fishery. A program is already in place
and is operated by tribal partners (the
Orutsaramiut Traditional Native
Council and the Kuskokwim River Inter-

Tribal Fisheries Commission [KRITFC]),
but the YDNWR would like to be more
involved in planning and administering
the surveys.
The information collected by the
survey includes the times individuals
left and returned from boat launches,
several characteristics of their fishing
gear, broad classification of where the
fishing activity occurred, for how long
they actively fished, and how many of
each of three salmon species they
harvested. When coupled with aerial
boat counts performed by the YDNWR,
these data can be used to obtain
quantitative estimates of total fishing
activity and salmon harvest occurring
from short-duration subsistence harvest
opportunities. The estimates are then
used to inform the management strategy
used jointly by the YDNWR and the
KRITFC.

Subsistence Salmon Fishery Catch and
Effort Survey.

addition to hunting, shooting, harming,

Endangered and Threatened Species; Receipt of Recovery Permit
Applications
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of receipt of permit applications; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have received
applications for permits to conduct activities intended to enhance the
propagation or survival of endangered or threatened species under the
Endangered Species Act. We invite the public and local, State, Tribal,
and Federal agencies to comment on these applications. Before issuing
any of the requested permits, we will take into consideration any
information that we receive during the public comment period.
DATES: We must receive your written comments on or before November 13,
2018.
ADDRESSES: Document availability and comment submission: Submit
requests for copies of the applications and related documents and
submit any comments by one of the following methods. All requests and
comments should specify the applicant name(s) and application number(s)
(e.g., TEXXXXXX).
Email: [email protected].
U.S. Mail: Daniel Marquez, Endangered Species Program
Manager, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 8, 2800 Cottage Way,
Room W-2606, Sacramento, CA 95825.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Marquez, via phone at 760-431-
9440, via email at [email protected], or via the Federal Relay
Service at 1-800-877-8339 for TTY assistance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
invite the public to comment on applications for permits under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). The requested permits would allow the applicants to
conduct activities intended to promote recovery of species that are
listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA.
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA prohibits activities that constitute
take of listed species unless a Federal permit
[[Page 51697]]
is issued that allows such activity. The ESA's definition of ``take''
includes such activities as pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing,
or collecting in addition to hunting, shooting, harming, wounding, or
killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct activities with endangered or
threatened species for scientific purposes that promote recovery or for
enhancement of propagation or survival of the species. These activities
often include such prohibited actions as capture and collection. Our
regulations implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are
found in the Code of Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.62 for endangered plant species, and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened
plant species.
Permit Applications Available for Review and Comment
Proposed activities in the following permit requests are for the
recovery and enhancement of propagation or survival of the species in
the wild. The ESA requires that we invite public comment before issuing
these permits. Accordingly, we invite local, State, Tribal, and Federal
agencies and the public to submit written data, views, or arguments
with respect to these applications. The comments and recommendations
that will be most useful and likely to influence agency decisions are
those supported by quantitative information or studies.
