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

ACTION: Notice of receipt of application for a scientific research 
permit (P560).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Notice is hereby given that Oregon State University (OSU) has 
applied in due form for a permit to take listed species 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).
    OSU requests authorization to take adult and juvenile Snake River 
spring/summer chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in order to 
investigate the potential effects of climate change on thermal 
complexity and biotic integrity of streams. Emphasis will be placed on 
the seasonal intrusion of non-native coolwater and warmwater fish 
species into the historic habitats of native salmonids, including Snake 
River spring/summer chinook salmon.
    OSU proposes to capture, handle, release, and snorkel near juvenile 
Snake River spring/summer chinook salmon. Adult Snake River spring/
summer chinook salmon would possibly be disturbed during these 
activities. OSU requests authorization for this research through 
September 30, 1995.

application should be submitted to the Director, Office of Protected
