Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 162 / Monday, August 22, 2016 / Notices
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Species Covered in This Notice
The following listed species are
covered in this notice:
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha): threatened Central Valley
spring-run (CVSR); endangered
Sacramento River winter-run (SRWR).
Steelhead (O. mykiss): threatened
California Central Valley (CCV).
North American green sturgeon
(Acipenser medisrostris): threatened
southern distinct population segment
(SDPS).
Authority
Scientific research and enhancement
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
parts 222–227). 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.

Permit 14808–2M
A notice of the receipt of an
application for the modification of
scientific research and enhancement
Permit 14808 was published in the
Federal Register on August 20, 2015 (80
FR 161). Permit 14808–2M was issued
to CDFW on December 9, 2015 and
expires on December 31, 2020. Permit
14808–2M authorizes take of CVSR
Chinook salmon, SRWR Chinook
salmon, CCV steelhead, and SDPS green
sturgeon associated with scientific
research and monitoring activities in
Sacramento River and San Joaquin River
basins. The permit modification was
requested in order to refine sampling
methods, increase take levels and
address changes to the proposed
procedures. Additionally, CDFW
requested that all ongoing research and
monitoring be consolidated into a single
section 10(a)(1)(A) Permit to improve
efficiencies associated with reporting. In
addition to the juvenile emigration

monitoring at Knights Landing, which
aims to compile information on timing,
composition (species/run), and relative
abundance of juvenile Chinook salmon
and steelhead emigrating from the
Upper Sacramento River system into the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, CDFW
requested that the following research
and monitoring efforts be included
under Permit 14808–2M: (1) The Central
Valley Steelhead Monitoring Program,
that includes studies targeting CCV
steelhead throughout the Sacramento
River and San Joaquin River basins in
order to examine the distribution,
abundance, and population trends of
CCV steelhead and provide the data
necessary to help assess progress
towards restoration and recovery goals;
and (2) the Upper Sacramento River
Restoration Site Monitoring, which will
establish baseline use at proposed
restoration sites to help determine the
success once restoration projects are
implemented through juvenile
presence/absence surveys at various
sites within the Upper Sacramento
River.
Permit 18181–2M
A notice of the receipt of an
application for the modification of
enhancement Permit 18181 was
published in the Federal Register on
August 20, 2015 (80 FR 161). Permit
18181–2M was issued to CDFW on
December 9, 2015 and expires on
December 31, 2020. Permit 18181–2M
authorizes take of CVSR Chinook
salmon, SRWR Chinook salmon, CCV
steelhead, and SDPS green sturgeon
associated with enhancement activities
in the Upper Sacramento River and
associated tributaries in Shasta and
Tehama counties, the Colusa Basin
Drainage Canal (CBDC), Wallace and
Fremont weirs in the Yolo Bypass, and
Tisdale Weir in the Sutter Bypass.
Permit 18181–2M includes additional
rescue and monitoring efforts that
routinely occur throughout California’s
Central Valley. Further, after conducting
capture and relocation activities within
the CBDC and at Wallace Weir, the
project description, sampling
methodologies and take estimates have
been refined to better reflect the current
rescue and enhancement operations.
The primary purpose of this monitoring
is to assess entrainment of ESA-listed
salmonids and SDPS green sturgeon
resulting from extreme environmental
conditions and complex water
operations within California’s Central
Valley. CDFW will assess the conditions
leading to entrainment and determine
whether rescue and relocation activities
are warranted. The rescue and
relocation efforts authorized under
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Permit 18181–2M are: (1) The CBDC
Trapping and Relocation Operation,
which aims to trap and relocate adult
Chinook salmon and other species of
management concern before they enter
and become entrained within the CDBC;
(2) Monitoring of Sacramento River
Flood Control Project Weirs and Flood
Relief Structures, where bypasses are
surveyed after high flow events to
determine the level of entrainment and
if warranted rescues will be conducted,
with a specific focus on Tisdale and
Fremont weirs in the Sacramento River
basin; and (3) Upper Sacramento River
Redd Dewatering Surveys and Rescue of
Stranded Juvenile Winter-run Chinook
Salmon, which allows CDFW biologists
to predict the flow at which redds will
be dewatered on a redd-by-redd basis
and conduct rescues if necessary.

Section
312 of the Coastal Zone Management
Act (CZMA) requires NOAA to conduct
periodic evaluations of federally
approved state and territorial coastal
programs. The process includes one or
more public meetings, consideration of
written public comments and
consultations with interested Federal,
state, and local agencies and members of
the public. During the evaluation,
NOAA will consider the extent to which
the state has met the national objectives,
adhered to the management program
approved by the Secretary of Commerce,
and adhered to the terms of financial
assistance under the CZMA. When the
evaluation is completed, NOAA’s Office
for Coastal Management will place a
