SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ESA-Listed Species Covered in This
Notice
Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch):
Endangered, Central California Coast
(CCC) Evolutionary Significant Unit
(ESU).

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

Background
The FED has applied for an
enhancement permit under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA for a period of 10
years that would allow take of multiple
life stages of CCC coho salmon.
Hatchery activities would be permitted
pursuant to the HGMP for the SCSCBP,
which is attached to the application.
The purpose of the SCSCBP is to
advance the conservation, viability, and
recovery of the CCC coho salmon ESU,
with an emphasis on populations in the
Santa Cruz Mountains Diversity
Stratum. The activities proposed for the
SCSCBP are consistent with both the
Federal recovery plan and state recovery
strategy for coho salmon. The SCSCBP
directly addresses recovery action ScC–
CCC–10.1.1.6 in the Final CCC Coho
Salmon ESU Recovery Plan (NMFS
2012) by using captive rearing to: reduce
the risk of extinction due to genetic and

demographic processes; preserve locally
adapted phenotypes and genotypes; and
promote regional recovery via the
release of hatchery fish into streams
from which they have been extirpated.
The program is jointly operated by
FED and the Monterey Bay Salmon and
Trout Project (MBSTP), with technical
support provided by U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, NMFS, and the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife. The
program consists of the following main
activities: broodstock collection;
propagation; tissue collection for genetic
analyses and other pathology
screenings; captive rearing of coho
salmon; fish marking and tagging; and
the release of coho salmon (egg to adult
life stages) into program streams in the
Santa Cruz Mountains.
The broodstock are derived
predominantly from hatchery-reared
coho salmon juveniles from artificial
propagation, as well as a small number
of natural-origin coho salmon from
coastal streams of the Santa Cruz
Mountains, and a small number of coho
salmon from the Russian River Coho
Salmon Captive Broodstock Program
(natural origin fish sourced from the
Russian River or Lagunitas/Olema Creek
basins) used as outbreeders to improve
genetic diversity. Captive broodstock are
initially propagated and reared at the
Kingfisher Flat Hatchery (KFH) in Santa
Cruz County until they are yearlings,
whereupon they are divided among
three facilities and subsequently reared
to maturity. The three facilities are:
KFH; Don Clausen Fish Hatchery in
Sonoma County; and FED laboratory
facility in the City of Santa Cruz,
California. Previously, the FED and
MBSTP conducted program activities
under section 10 (a)(1)(A) permits 1112
and 1083, respectively.
Activities that constitute take of CCC
coho salmon and would be permitted
include: (1) handling and transport of
broodstock and production fish between
program facilities and the natural
environment; (2) captive rearing and
associated activities, including tissue
sample collection, marking, and tagging;
and (3) sacrifice for artificial
propagation and routine pathology
screenings. The HGMP includes
measures to minimize take and both
genetic and ecological effects to
naturally produced CCC coho salmon
and CCC steelhead (O. mykiss) resulting
from operations at the facilities and as
a result of fish releases into program
streams.

Authority
Section 9 of the ESA and Federal
regulations prohibit the taking of a
species listed as endangered or
threatened. The ESA defines ‘‘take’’ to
mean harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot,
wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or
to attempt to engage in any such
conduct. NMFS may issue permits for
scientific purposes or for the
enhancement of the propagation or
survival of the affected endangered or
threatened species authorizing the
taking, importation, or other acts
otherwise prohibited by section 9 of the
Act (50 CFR 222.308). The final permit
decision will not be made until after the
end of the 30-day comment period.
NMFS will publish notice of its final
action in the Federal Register.
NEPA requires Federal agencies to
conduct an environmental analysis of
their proposed actions to determine if
the actions may affect the human
environment (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.; 40
CFR 1500–1508; and Companion
Manual for NOAA Administrative Order
216–6A). Therefore, NMFS is seeking
public input on the scope of the
required NEPA analysis in the EA,
including the range of reasonable
alternatives and associated impacts of
any alternatives.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined

Abstract: Part 20 of the Commission’s
regulations (‘‘Reporting Rules’’) requires
clearing organizations and any persons
that are ‘‘reporting entities’’ to file
swaps position data with the
Commission. The Reporting Rules
collect clearing member reports from
clearing organizations. The Reporting
Rules also require position reports from
reporting entities for principal and
counterparty positions in cleared and
uncleared physical commodity swaps.
Reporting entities are those persons that
are either ‘‘clearing members’’ or ‘‘swap
dealers’’ that are otherwise not clearing
members. For purposes of part 20,
reporting parties are required to submit
data on positions on a futures
equivalent basis so as to allow the
Commission to assess a trader’s market
impact across differently structured but
linked derivatives instruments and
markets. This renewal updates the total
requested burden based on available
reported data.
With respect to the collection of
information, the CFTC invites comment
on:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
• The accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
All comments must be submitted in
English, or if not, accompanied by an
English translation. Comments will be
posted as received to https://
www.cftc.gov. You should submit only
information that you wish to make
available publicly. If you wish the
Commission to consider information
that you believe is exempt from
disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act, a petition for
confidential treatment of the exempt
information may be submitted according
to the procedures established in § 145.9
of the Commission’s regulations.1 The
Commission reserves the right, but shall
have no obligation, to review, prescreen, filter, redact, refuse or remove

Procedure Act and other applicable

Burden Statement: The Commission
estimates the burden of this collection
of information as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,654.
Estimated Total Annual Number of
Responses (Reporting and
Recordkeeping): 33,325.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 14.33.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 52,366.
Frequency of Collection: Daily; On
Occasion.
The Commission estimates that the
annualized capital and start-up and
operational and maintenance costs
associated with this collection total
$33,895,705.
