ACTION: Notice of receipt two applications for scientific research
permits (P497B, P503M).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice is hereby given that the Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife
Research Unit (ICFWRU) (P497B) and the Idaho Department of Fish and
Game (IDFG) (P503M) have both applied in due form for a permit to take
listed species of Snake River salmon as authorized by the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) and the NMFS regulations
governing listed fish and wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 217-227).
ICFWRU (P497B) requests authorization to lethally take juvenile
listed Snake River spring/summer chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha) from bypass-collection facilities at the Lower Granite Dam
in order to determine the physiological effects of collection, bypass,
and transport on wild fish. ICFWRU requests authorization to conduct
this research from April 15, to June 1, 1994.
IDFG (P503M) requests authorization to take adult and juvenile
listed Snake River spring/summer chinook salmon. IDFG proposes to
enumerate and collect length information on upstream migrant adult
chinook salmon in Chamberlain Creek and West Fork Chamberlain Creek.
They would also conduct parr density monitoring by snorkeling, conduct
redd counts, and collect biological information from carcasses. The
latter activities are ongoing, and were previously covered by Permit
823. However, IDFG proposes to combine activities specific to the
Chamberlain Basin into a single permit. IDFG requests authorization to
conduct this research from March 1 through November 30 annually through
1997.
Written data or views, or requests for a public hearing on these
applications should be submitted to the Director, Office of Protected
