riparian habitat assessment and a
morphological survey. The purpose of
the research is to establish an ecological
observatory with the goal of monitoring
climate change, land use changes, and
invasive species for the next 30 years.
The researchers would use backpack
electrofishing equipment to capture fish.
The fish would then be anesthetized,
identified, photographed, measured,
allowed to recover, and released back to
the stream. Some tissue samples may be
taken as well. The research would
benefit listed fish by generating longterm data sets on the animals’ health,
abundance, and status in general. Those
data, in turn, would be used to inform
management decisions on the GiffordPinchot National Forest and the lower
Columbia River ecosystem. The
researchers do not intend to kill any of
the fish being captured, but a small
percentage may be killed as an
inadvertent result of the activities.
This notice is provided pursuant to
section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will
evaluate the applications, associated
documents, and comments submitted to
determine whether the applications
meet the requirements of section 10(a)
of the ESA and Federal regulations. The
final permit decisions 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.

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) annually
collects information from seafood and
industrial fishing processing plants on
the volume and value of their processed
fishery products and their monthly
employment figures. NOAA also
collects monthly production volume of
fish meal, oil, and solubles. The
information gathered is used by NOAA
in the economic and social analyses
developed when proposing and
evaluating fishery management actions.
II. Method of Collection
In the current survey, NOAA
Fisheries provides each processor with
a pre-printed survey form that includes
the products produced by that processor
in the previous year. The processor only
needs to fill in the quantity of product,
value of product, monthly employment,
and add any new products. New firms
to the survey are provided blank forms.
Responses are submitted by mail, via
postage-paid envelopes provided by
NOAA Fisheries.
III. Data
