Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 22, 2022 / Notices
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. 21233–03 authorizes the
permit holder to study sea turtles in the
Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and
Caribbean Sea including international
waters. Animals for study may be
directly captured by hand, hoop net,
pound net, seine, cast net, tangle net, or
trawl or obtained for study from another
legal source such as bycatch in a
commercial fishery. Animals captured
in pound nets may be exposed to a
sound source. Researchers may
examine, mark, image, collect
morphometrics, collect a suite of
biological samples, and attach
transmitters to live sea turtles before
release. A subset of these animals may
also undergo hearing trials or
laparoscopy and internal tissue
sampling when transported and
temporarily held in a facility before
release. A small number of
unintentional mortalities, and collection
of these carcasses, for each species may
result from capture activities. In
addition, live animals may be harassed
during vessel and aerial surveys for
species counts and observation. The
permit holder requests authorization to
reallocate the annual take of 100 green
(Chelonia mydas), 100 Kemp’s ridley
(Lepidochelys kempii), and 200
loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtles
from Table 1 to Table 2 of the permit so
that takes to study animals that were
legally captured under another authority
instead may be used for the direct
capture of these animals by trawl and
attachment of satellite transmitters.
Researchers will use the data to inform
Deepwater Horizon restoration planning
and assess the impacts and effectiveness
of restoration activities in the northern
Gulf of Mexico. The permit would
remain valid until September 30, 2027.

Needs and Uses: Section 4(d) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA;
16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.) requires the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) to adopt such regulations as it
‘‘deems necessary and advisable to
provide for the conservation of’’
threatened species. Those regulations
may include any or all of the
prohibitions provided in section 9(a)(1)
of the ESA, which specifically prohibits
‘‘take’’ of any endangered species
(‘‘take’’ includes actions that harass,
harm, pursue, kill, or capture). The first
salmonid species listed by NMFS as
threatened were protected by virtually
blanket application of the section 9 take
prohibitions. There are now 23 separate
Distinct Population Segments (DPS) of
west coast salmonids listed as
threatened, covering a large percentage
of the land base in California, Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. NMFS is
obligated to enact necessary and
advisable protective regulations. NMFS
makes section 9 prohibitions generally
applicable to many of those threatened
DPS, but also seeks to respond to
requests from states and others to both
provide more guidance on how to
protect threatened salmonids and avoid
take, and to limit the application of take
prohibitions wherever warranted (see 70
FR 37160, June 28, 2005, 71 FR 834,
January 5, 2006, and 73 FR 55451,
September 25, 2008). The regulations
describe programs or circumstances that
contribute to the conservation of or are
being conducted in a way that limits
impacts on, listed salmonids. Because
we have determined that such
programs/circumstances adequately
protect listed salmonids, the regulations
do not apply the ‘‘take’’ prohibitions to
them. Some of these limits on the take
prohibitions entail voluntary
submission of a plan to NMFS and/or
annual or occasional reports by entities
wishing to take advantage of these
limits, or continue within them.
The currently approved application
and reporting requirements apply to
Pacific marine and anadromous fish
species, as requirements regarding other
species are being addressed in a
separate information collection.
Affected Public: Federal government;
State, local, or tribal government;
business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

anglers since 2018 through its mobile
application MyCatch. The webinar will
focus on three important elements of a
successful citizen science strategy:
techniques that motivate anglers to
report their catches; methods to evaluate
the quality of the data collected; and
ways self-reported citizen science data
may address research and management
issues. A question-and-answer session
will follow the presentation. Members

The Department of the Army
(Army) completed a programmatic
environmental assessment (PEA)
regarding the impacts of stationing a
Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF) at 13
existing Army garrisons and joint bases,
and is encouraging community
participation in this process. The Army
is making the PEA and a draft finding
of no significant impact (FONSI)
available for public comment. The PEA
determined the environmental and
socioeconomic impacts that would
result from the Proposed Action would
be either less than significant or
significant but mitigable at all of the
considered locations. The draft FONSI
concluded that an environmental
impact statement (EIS) is not required.
Unless other significant impacts are
brought to the Army’s attention during
public review of the PEA, the Army will
