30-Day federal Register Notice - 3038-0012

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 124 / Thursday, June 27, 2019 / Notices

Captured fish would be anesthetized,
measured, weighed, tagged (PIT),
allowed to recover, and released. The
researchers do not intend to kill any
listed fish, but some may die as an
inadvertent result of the research.
19400–3R
ICF Consulting is seeking to renew for
five years a research permit that
currently allows them to take juvenile
natural and listed hatchery SRWR and
CVSR Chinook salmon, CCV steelhead
and juvenile green sturgeon in Suisan
Bay, CA. The purposes of the research
are to (1) determine the spatial and
temporal distribution and abundance of
juvenile Chinook salmon in shallowwater habitats and compare observed
patterns to predictions from habitat
suitability models, and (2) provide
baseline fish and invertebrate samples
for a Before-After Control-Impact (BACI)
study design to assess the impact of a
planned breach at the Tule Red
restoration site. The applicant proposes
to capture fish with seines (beach,
Lampara), nets (fyke), and trawls
(midwater, otter). This study would
result in the capture, handle, and
release of juvenile green sturgeon and
intentional directed mortality of
juvenile salmon for isotopic and otolith
analysis.

The Wiyot tribe is seeking a five-year
research permit that would allow them
to annually take juvenile NC steelhead
in the South Fork of the Eel River, CA.
The purposes of the research are to (1)
to evaluate the impacts of Sacramento
pikeminnow, a non-native predator, on
Pacific lamprey, steelhead, and other
native species, and (2) to develop and
test methods for pikeminnow
population suppression in terms of
catch-per-unit-effort and cost-per-fishcaptured. The applicant proposes to
capture fish with backpack and boat
electrofishing, fyke net, seine, baited
frame traps, dip netting and hook-andline and to observe fish during snorkel
surveys. A subset of captured fish
would be anesthetized, measured,
weighed, have a tissue sample taken,
allowed to recover, and released. The
researchers do not intend to kill any
listed fish, but some may die as an
inadvertent result of the research.

The NOAA Fisheries California
Central Valley office is seeking a fiveyear research permit that would allow
them to annually take adult SRWR,
CVSR, and CC Chinook salmon,
subadult and adult green sturgeon. The
purpose of the research is to test the use

Jkt 247001

of DIDSON cameras to characterize the
physical interaction between green
sturgeon and the halibut bottom trawl
fishery (CHBT) operating out of Half
Moon and San Francisco bays. In a
previous cooperative study conducted
with CHBT fishermen, NOAA observers,
NMFS Science Center staff, and the
CDFW, satellite tags were used to
measure green sturgeon post-release
survival in the halibut fishery. In this
study, researchers would test the use of
DIDSON cameras in the CHBT nets to
characterize the physical interaction
between green sturgeon and CHBT nets.
Study results would be used to evaluate
methods to minimize gear interactions
and bycatch of green sturgeon. The
applicant proposes to capture fish with
a bottom trawl. Captured green sturgeon
would be captured, handled and
released. The researchers would avoid
adult salmonids, but some may be
encountered as an unintentional result
of sampling. The researchers do not
intend to kill any listed fish, but some
may die as an inadvertent result of the
research.
22700
The Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout
Project (MBSTP) is seeking a five-year
research permit that would allow them
to annually take adult CC coho and CCC
steelhead in the San Lorenzo River, CA.
The purpose of the research is to gather
genetic and life history data on CCC
steelhead. This research will contribute
to large-scale salmonid monitoring
programs on the San Lorenzo River that
are currently being implemented by the
City and County of Santa Cruz. The
applicant proposes to capture fish at the
Felton Diversion Facility weir. Captured
adult steelhead would be measured,
weighed, PIT tagged, have a tissue
sample taken, allowed to recover, and
released. Adult coho would be captured,
handled and released. The researchers
do not intend to kill any listed fish, but
some may die as an inadvertent result
of the research.

Tim Salamunovich of TRPA Fish
Biologist is seeking a 5-year research
permit that would allow him to
annually take juvenile SRWR and CVSR
Chinook salmon, CCV steelhead and
green sturgeon in a central valley delta
wetland area known as The Big Ditch on
the Peterson Ranch in eastern Solano
County, California. The purpose of this
research is to collect seasonal presence/
absence and relative abundance data to
document seasonal fish use throughout
the project area in order to document
the baseline conditions prior to
restoration efforts. The applicant

proposes to capture fish with beach
seines and minnow traps. Captured fish
would be anesthetized, measured,
weighed, allowed to recover, and
released. The researchers do not intend
to kill any listed fish, but some may die
as an inadvertent result of the research.
Authority
Scientific research permits are issued
in accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A)
of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
regulations governing listed fish and
wildlife permits (50 CFR 222–226).
NMFS issues permits based on findings
that such permits: (1) Are applied for in
good faith; (2) if granted and exercised,
would not operate to the disadvantage
of the listed species that are the subject
of the permit; and (3) are consistent
with the purposes and policy of section
2 of the ESA. The authority to take
listed species is subject to conditions set
forth in the permits.
Anyone requesting a hearing on an
application listed in this notice should
set out the specific reasons why a
hearing on that application would be
appropriate (see ADDRESSES). Such
hearings are held at the discretion of the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NMFS.
Applications Received
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Futures Volume, Open Interest,
Price, Deliveries and Purchases/Sales of
Futures for Commodities or for
Derivatives Positions (OMB Control No.
3038–0012). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Commission Regulation
16.01 requires the U.S. futures
exchanges to publish daily information
on the items listed in the title of the
collection. The information required by
this rule is in the public interest and is
necessary for market surveillance. This
rule is promulgated pursuant to the
Commission’s rulemaking authority
contained in section 5 of the
Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 7
(2010).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.2 On April 22, 2019, the
Commission published in the Federal
Register notice of the proposed
extension of this information collection
1 17

CFR 145.9.
OMB control numbers for the CFTC’s
regulations were published on December 30, 1981.
See 46 FR 63035 (Dec. 30, 1981).

and provided 60 days for public
comment on the proposed extension, 84
FR 16663 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The
Commission originally estimated that 15
entities would be affected by this rule,
who would spend one hour daily on
each response, 250 trading days per
year, thus accumulating 3,750 hours
annually in total burden hours. These
numbers remain current, and the
Commission did not receive any
comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The Commission
is revising its estimate of the burden for
this collection as the respondent burden
for this collection is estimated to be as
follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
15.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,750 hours.
Frequency of Collection: Daily.
There are no known additional capital
costs or operating and maintenance
costs associated with this collection.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
