AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), NOAA, Commerce.

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 
Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1335 East-West Hwy., 
Silver Spring, MD 20910, within 30 days of the publication of this 
notice. Those individuals requesting a hearing should set forth the 
specific reasons why a hearing on the particular application would be 
appropriate. The holding of such hearing is at the discretion of the 
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries. All statements and opinions 
contained in these application summaries are those of the applicant and 
do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
    Documents submitted in connection with the above application are
