The subject permit modification to Permit No. 24016, issued on January 28, 2021 (86 FR 13700, March 10, 2021), is requested under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR parts 222–226). Permit No. 24016 currently authorizes the permit holder to conduct scientific research on Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon in freshwater and estuary areas of the Chesapeake Bay and other coastal rivers, assessing sturgeon population and reproductive capacity, as well as monitoring spawning activity, movement, and habitat through telemetry. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon life stages may be captured using gill or trammel nets, trawls, and trapping nets (e.g., fyke, or other trap nets). All animals are marked with passive integrated transponder (PIT) and Floy tags, genetic tissue sampled, measured, weighed, photographed and released. Subsets of animals are also anesthetized, and internally or externally acoustically tagged, biologically sampled (i.e., fin ray, blood, gametes), endoscoped and ultrasounded. Larvae and eggs are currently collected with D-nets, trawls (i.e., epibenthic sleds), and egg mats. The applicant anticipates that up to one adult/sub-adult and one juvenile Atlantic sturgeon may be killed annually. The proposed modification focuses on activities designed to stage the reproductive status of eggs collected from female sturgeon captured from the York River (Virginia) and its tributaries. To understand sturgeon egg development and spawning characteristics in the York River, the Permit Holder is requesting to directly sample an additional 800 eggs using an approved egg extraction device. The permit is valid through January 31, 2031. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:10 Apr 28, 2023 Jkt 259001 Dated: April 25, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 threestep 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 Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management Councils and NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, Highly Migratory Species Management Division, and Southeast Fisheries Science Center. Participants include: data collectors and database managers; stock assessment scientists, biologists, and researchers; constituency representatives including fishermen, environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); international experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state and federal agencies. The items of discussion at the SEDAR 82 South Atlantic Gray Triggerfish Assessment Webinar 2 are as follows: Discuss any leftover data issues that were not cleared up during the data process, answer any questions that the analysts have, and introduce/discuss model development and model setup. Although non-emergency issues not contained in this agenda may come before this group for discussion, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues specifically identified 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 to take final action to address the emergency.
