SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that NMFS issued Modification 1 to 
Permit 907 to David Bennett of the University of Idaho (P498A), and 
Modification 2 to Permit 849 to the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes (P510), to 
take listed Snake River salmon for the purpose of scientific research, 
subject to certain conditions set forth therein.

ADDRESSES: The applications, permits, and related documents are 
available for review by appointment in the following offices:
    Office of Protected Resources, F/PR8, NMFS, 1315 East-West Hwy., 
Room 13307, Silver Spring, MD 20910-3226 (301-713-1401); and
    Environmental and Technical Services Division, 525 NE Oregon 
Street, Suite 500, Portland, OR 97232-4169 (503-230-5400).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice was published on May 9, 1995 (60 FR 
24616) that an application had been filed by David Bennett of the 
University of Idaho (P498A), to take listed Snake River Salmon at the 
Cargill Grain Elevator Site, Snake River, to evaluate the area's 
importance in rearing juveniles. The applicant proposed to capture 5 
juvenile sockeye salmon, 15 juvenile spring/summer chinook salmon, and 
50 juvenile fall chinook salmon, to be anesthetized, measured, and 
released. On July 6, 1995, NMFS issued Modification 1 to Permit 907, 
authorizing the above research.
    On July 5, 1995, NMFS issued Modification 2 to Permit 849 to the 
Shoshone-Bannock Tribes (P510), authorizing the use of seines to 
capture listed salmon in the Salmon River Subbasin, and to cooperate 
with the Idaho Department of Fish & Game in salvage operations.
    Issuance of these modifications, as required by the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543), was based on a finding 
that such modifications: (1) Were applied for in good faith, (2) will 
not operate to the disadvantage of the listed species that are the 
subject of the modifications, and (3) are consistent with the purposes 
and policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA. These modifications 
were also issued in accordance with and are subject to the ESA and NMFS 
regulations governing listed fish and wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 
217-222).

    Dated: July 13, 1995.
