                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject modification to Permit No. 21858
                is requested under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973,
                as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the
                taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species
                (50 CFR parts 222-226).
                 Permit No. 21858, issued on September 7, 2018 (83 FR 53454),
                authorizes the permit holder to collect, receive, export, transport,
                and archive dead Atlantic (Acipenser oxyrinchus) and shortnose (A.
                brevirostrum) sturgeon, or parts thereof. This includes the receipt and
                export of 3,000 Atlantic and 1,500 shortnose sturgeon parts annually
                for the NMFS Sturgeon Tissue Repository. The permit holder requests
                authorization to increase the number of Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon
                samples from 3,000 to 15,000 and 1,500 to 5,000, respectively, to be
                received annually to the NMFS Sturgeon Tissue Repository. Intentional
                or incidental capture of Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon and collection
                of tissue samples occurs under separate authority. This permit does not
                authorize the capture and sampling of live specimens. The permit
                expires March 31, 2027.
                 Dated: May 6, 2019.
