ACTION: Issuance of a second modification to Permit Number 822 (P500B).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 15, 1993 (58 FR 16524), the Fish Passage Center (FPC) was
issued Permit 822 to take listed species of Snake River salmon for
scientific research under the authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973 (ESA) (U.S.C. 1531-1543) and the NMFS regulations governing
listed fish and wildlife permits (50 CFR Parts 217-227). On May 21,
1993 (58 FR 31370), FPC was issued an emergency modification to Permit
822, which increased the authorized take.
On November 23, 1993, notice was published (58 FR 61864) that an
application had been filed by FPC for a second modification to Permit
822. Notice is hereby given that on March 4, 1994, as authorized by the
provisions of the ESA, NMFS modified Permit 822 subject to certain
conditions set forth therein.
Issuance of this modification, as required by the ESA, was based on
a finding that the permit: (1) Was applied for in good faith; (2) will
not operate to the disadvantage of the listed species which are the
subject of this permit; (3) is consistent with the purposes and
policies set forth in Section 2 of the ESA. This permit was also issued
in accordance with and is subject to parts 217-222 of Title 50 CFR, the
NMFS regulations governing listed species permits.
The application, permit, modifications, and supporting
documentation are available for review by interested persons in the
following offices by appointment:
Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1335
East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910 (301-713-2322); and
