The
purpose of the pre-assessment workshop
is to review proposed data inputs,
modeling approaches, and any other
pertinent information for new
benchmark stock assessments for big
skate, longnose skate, sablefish, gopher/
black-and-yellow rockfish, and cowcod.
The goal of the pre-assessment
workshop is to promote dialogue about
and a common understanding between
assessment teams and data providers of
the best data and analytical and
modeling approaches for use in
conducting the benchmark groundfish
assessments scheduled for 2019.
Participants at the pre-assessment
workshop will also review proposed
revisions to the Pacific Council’s
Accepted Practices for Groundfish Stock
Assessments document to prepare for
these 2019 stock assessments. The
purpose of the skates catch
reconstruction workshop is to
reconstruct historical catches of west
coast skate species to prepare for the big
skate and longnose skate stock
assessments later this year. No
management actions will be decided by
the workshop participants.
Although nonemergency issues not
contained in the workshops’ agendas
may be discussed, those issues may not
be the subject of formal action during
this workshop. Action will be restricted
to those issues specifically listed in this
notice and any issues arising after
publication of this notice that require
emergency action under section 305(c)
of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
provided the public has been notified of
the intent of the workshop participants
to take final action to address the
emergency.
Visitors who are foreign nationals
(defined as a person who is not a citizen
or national of the United States) will

Species Covered in This Notice
The following listed species are
covered in this notice:
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha): Endangered upper
Columbia River (UCR); threatened
Snake River (SR) spring/summer-run;
threatened SR fall-run.
Steelhead (O. mykiss): Threatened
UCR; threatened SR; threatened middle
Columbia River (MCR).
Sockeye salmon (O. nerka):
Endangered SR.
Authority
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
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—5R
The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes are
seeking to renew a permit that allows
them 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 River, and (3) evaluate the
genetic and ecological impacts hatchery
Chinook salmon may have 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, 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,
electrofishing, and hook-and-line
angling gear to capture the listed fish.
Once captured, the fish would undergo
various sampling, tagging, and handling
regimes; they would then be allowed to
