Endangered and Threatened Species; Take of Anadromous Fish, 43188-43190 [2016-15665]

Download as PDF 43188 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 127 / Friday, July 1, 2016 / Notices fisheries in the Columbia River Basin, including designated off-channel sites, which are intended to: (1) Ensure fair sharing of harvestable fish between tribal and non-tribal fisheries in accordance with Treaty fishing rights standards and U.S. v. Oregon, and (2) be responsive to the needs of ESA-listed species. While the agreement includes a hatchery production component, the NEPA analysis of hatchery production within the action area has been completed, or will be supplemented, in a separate EIS that will be incorporated by reference in this EIS. Consequently, the Proposed Action in this EIS analysis focuses on harvest. Construction of new hatchery facilities to mitigate impacts to fisheries from The Dalles Dam and John Day Dam hydropower operations is being analyzed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in a separate analysis, which will also be incorporated by reference into this analysis. asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Environmental Impact Statement NEPA (42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq.) requires that Federal agencies conduct an environmental analysis of their Proposed Actions to determine if the actions may significantly affect the human environment. The Services have determined that an EIS should be prepared under NEPA for the purpose of informing the Services’ proposed signing of the new agreement. The information and analysis in the EIS will help to inform the subsequent ESA Section 7 consultation on the new agreement. The Services will prepare the EIS as joint lead agencies (40 CFR §§ 1501.5, 1508.16) in consultation with the Treaty Tribes pursuant to the Federal trust responsibility, Secretarial Order 3206, and Executive Order 13175. We will prepare an EIS in accordance with NEPA requirements, as amended (40 U.S. C. § 4321 et seq.); NEPA implementing regulations (40 CFR §§ 1500–1508); and other Federal laws, regulations, and policies. The Services’ purpose and need for the Proposed Action is three-fold: (1) To meet the Federal government’s tribal treaty rights and trust and fiduciary responsibilities; (2) to support fishing opportunities to the states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, and the tribes; and (3) to work collaboratively with comanagers to protect and conserve ESAlisted and non-listed species. Development of Initial Alternatives The Services have preliminarily identified the following six alternatives for the public to consider. The preferred alternative will be developed to reflect a policy direction that would be VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:05 Jun 30, 2016 Jkt 238001 compatible with the Purpose and Need indicated above. No-action Alternative (status quo): Under this alternative, the Services would not sign a new agreement, and the parties would continue to manage salmonid fisheries in the Columbia River consistent with the terms of the 2008–2017 agreement. A No-action Alternative is required in the full range of analyzed alternatives. Abundance-based Management Alternative: Under this alternative, the Services would sign a new agreement with the other parties, and salmonid fisheries in the Columbia River would be managed under an abundance-based management framework. Fixed Exploitation Rate Management Alternative: Under this alternative, the Services would sign a new agreement with the other parties, and salmonid fisheries in the Columbia River would be managed under a fixed exploitation rate management framework. Escapement-based Management Alternative: Under this alternative, the Services would sign a new agreement with the other parties, and salmonid fisheries in the Columbia River would be managed under an escapement-based management framework. Fixed Effort-based Management Alternative: Under this alternative, the Services would sign a new agreement with the other parties, and salmonid fisheries in the Columbia River would be managed under a fixed effort management framework. No Fisheries Alternative: Under this alternative, the Services would sign a new agreement with the other parties; however, the parties would decide that salmonid fisheries would not be allowed in the Columbia River. Although this alternative does not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action, it is included to provide a full range of alternatives for analysis. Request for Comments The Services request data, comments, pertinent information, or suggestions from the public, other concerned governmental agencies, the scientific community, tribes, the business community, or any other interested party regarding the Proposed Action discussed in this notice. We will consider all comments we receive in complying with the requirements of NEPA. We particularly seek specific comments concerning: (1) The direct, indirect, and cumulative effects that implementation of any reasonable alternative could have on endangered and threatened species, and other non-ESA-listed species and their habitats; PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (2) Other reasonable alternatives (in addition to the initial alternatives presented in this notice), and their associated effects; (3) Measures that would minimize and mitigate potentially adverse effects of the proposed actions; (4) Other plans or projects that might be relevant to this project. The EIS will analyze the effects that the various alternatives would have on salmon and steelhead and other fish species in the Columbia River Basin as well as the other aspects of the human environment, including but not limited to, water quality, habitat, wildlife (ESAlisted and non-ESA-listed), vegetation, socioeconomics (including fishery dependent communities and culture and economic impacts), environmental justice, cultural resources, transportation, and the cumulative impacts of the alternatives.

Chum salmon (O. keta): Threatened, naturally produced and artificially propagated Hood Canal summer-run. asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Background The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe have submitted to NMFS RMPs for three jointly operated hatchery programs in the Dungeness River basin. The plans were submitted in January 2013, pursuant to limit 6 of the 4(d) Rule for the listed Puget Sound Chinook Salmon evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) and listed Puget Sound Steelhead distinct population segment (DPS). The plans reflect refinements of existing plans provided previously and evaluated pursuant to the 4(d) Rule. The hatchery programs release ESA-listed Chinook salmon and non-listed coho and fall-run pink salmon into the Dungeness River watershed. All three programs release fish native to the Dungeness River basin. All of the programs are currently operating. As required by § 223.203(b)(6) of the ESA 4(d) rule, NMFS must determine pursuant to 50 CFR 223.209 and pursuant to the government-togovernment processes therein whether the three plans for Dungeness River salmon hatchery programs would appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of the Puget Sound Chinook Salmon ESU or Puget Sound Steelhead DPS. NMFS must take comments on how the plans address the VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:05 Jun 30, 2016 Jkt 238001 43189 criteria in § 223.203(b)(5) in making that determination. objectives of the RMPs are being accomplished. Discussion of the Biological Analysis Underlying the Determination The RMPs include provisions for annual reports that will assess compliance with performance standards established through the RMPs. Reporting and inclusion of new information derived from RMP research, monitoring, and evaluation activities provides assurance that performance standards will be achieved in future seasons. NMFS’ evaluation is available on the West Coast Region Web site at https:// www.westcoast.fisheries.noaa.gov. The hatchery activities described in the three RMPs are intended to conserve native, listed Dungeness River Chinook salmon and non-listed fall-run pink salmon populations, and provide coho salmon for harvest in tribal and nonIndian fisheries in the basin. The Chinook and pink salmon programs are designed to preserve, and bolster the natural spawning abundance of, the native Dungeness River populations of the species. The Chinook salmon stock released through the Dungeness River Hatchery Spring Chinook salmon program is included as part of the listed Puget Sound Chinook Salmon ESU. The Dungeness River Hatchery spring Chinook program would assist in the recovery of the listed native Dungeness Chinook salmon population. The coho salmon program is operated for harvest augmentation purposes, using broodstock derived from the native, non-listed Dungeness River coho salmon population. The three programs would be operated in such a way as to minimize potential risks to listed natural-origin Dungeness River Chinook salmon, summer chum salmon, and steelhead populations, including interactions between hatchery and natural fish that may lead to adverse genetic effects and competition and predation. The proposed hatchery programs are consistent with the Dungeness River chapter of the Shared Strategy for Puget Sound (SSPS 2005; Ruckelshaus et al. 2005) and the Hood Canal Summer Chum Plan (HCCC 2005). These recovery plans were approved by NMFS to protect and restore listed Chinook and summer chum salmon populations across their range in Puget Sound (NMFS 2006; NMFS 2007). As part of the proposed hatchery programs, monitoring and evaluation would be implemented to assess their performance in meeting population conservation or harvest augmentation objectives, and their effects on ESAlisted natural-origin Chinook salmon, summer chum salmon, and steelhead. Information gained through monitoring and evaluation will be used to assess whether the impacts of the programs on listed fish are as expected. Review of monitoring and evaluation results by NMFS and the co-managers will occur annually to evaluate whether assumptions regarding RMP effects and analysis remain valid, and whether the PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Summary of Comments Received in Response to the Proposed Evaluation and Pending Determination NMFS published notice of its proposed evaluation and pending determination on the plans for public review and comment on February 20, 2015 (80 FR 9260). The proposed evaluation and pending determination and an associated draft environmental assessment were available for public review and comment for 30 days. During the public comment period, NMFS received two comment letters on the draft environmental assessment. None of the comments raised issues that required substantive modification of the environmental assessment. The comments and NMFS’ detailed responses are available on the West Coast Region Web site, as an appendix to the environmental assessment. Based on its evaluation and recommended determination and taking into account the public comments, NMFS issued its final determination on the Dungeness River salmon hatchery plans.

Endangered and Threatened Species; Take of Anadromous Fish

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final determination and discussion of underlying 
biological analysis.

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

SUMMARY: NMFS has evaluated three Resource Management Plans (RMPs) 
submitted to NMFS pursuant to the limitation on take prohibitions for 
actions conducted under Limit 6 of the 4(d) Rule for salmon and 
steelhead promulgated under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The RMPs 
specify the propagation of three species of salmon in the Dungeness 
River watershed of Washington State. This document serves to notify the 
public that NMFS, by delegated authority from the Secretary of 
Commerce, has

determined pursuant to Limit 6 of the ESA 4(d) Rule for salmon and 
steelhead that implementing and enforcing the plans will not 
appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of the Puget 
Sound Chinook salmon and Puget Sound steelhead.

DATES: The final determination on the take limit was made on June 10, 
2016.

ADDRESSES: Written responses to the determination should be sent to 
NMFS Sustainable Fisheries Division, 510 Desmond Dr., Suite 103, Lacey, 
WA 98503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

ESA-Listed Species Covered in This Notice

    Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): Threatened, Puget Sound, 
naturally produced and artificially propagated.
    Steelhead (O. mykiss): Threatened, Puget Sound, naturally produced 
and artificially propagated.
    Chum salmon (O. keta): Threatened, naturally produced and 
artificially propagated Hood Canal summer-run.

Background

    The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the 
Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe have submitted to NMFS RMPs for three jointly 
operated hatchery programs in the Dungeness River basin. The plans were 
submitted in January 2013, pursuant to limit 6 of the 4(d) Rule for the 
listed Puget Sound Chinook Salmon evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) 
and listed Puget Sound Steelhead distinct population segment (DPS). The 
plans reflect refinements of existing plans provided previously and 
evaluated pursuant to the 4(d) Rule. The hatchery programs release ESA-
listed Chinook salmon and non-listed coho and fall-run pink salmon into 
the Dungeness River watershed. All three programs release fish native 
to the Dungeness River basin. All of the programs are currently 
operating.
    As required by Sec.  223.203(b)(6) of the ESA 4(d) rule, NMFS must 
determine pursuant to 50 CFR 223.209 and pursuant to the government-to-
government processes therein whether the three plans for Dungeness 
River salmon hatchery programs would appreciably reduce the likelihood 
of survival and recovery of the Puget Sound Chinook Salmon ESU or Puget 
Sound Steelhead DPS. NMFS must take comments on how the plans address 
the criteria in Sec.  223.203(b)(5) in making that determination.

Discussion of the Biological Analysis Underlying the Determination

    The hatchery activities described in the three RMPs are intended to 
conserve native, listed Dungeness River Chinook salmon and non-listed 
fall-run pink salmon populations, and provide coho salmon for harvest 
in tribal and non-Indian fisheries in the basin. The Chinook and pink 
salmon programs are designed to preserve, and bolster the natural 
spawning abundance of, the native Dungeness River populations of the 
species. The Chinook salmon stock released through the Dungeness River 
Hatchery Spring Chinook salmon program is included as part of the 
listed Puget Sound Chinook Salmon ESU. The Dungeness River Hatchery 
spring Chinook program would assist in the recovery of the listed 
native Dungeness Chinook salmon population. The coho salmon program is 
operated for harvest augmentation purposes, using broodstock derived 
from the native, non-listed Dungeness River coho salmon population.
    The three programs would be operated in such a way as to minimize 
potential risks to listed natural-origin Dungeness River Chinook 
salmon, summer chum salmon, and steelhead populations, including 
interactions between hatchery and natural fish that may lead to adverse 
genetic effects and competition and predation. The proposed hatchery 
programs are consistent with the Dungeness River chapter of the Shared 
Strategy for Puget Sound (SSPS 2005; Ruckelshaus et al. 2005) and the 
Hood Canal Summer Chum Plan (HCCC 2005). These recovery plans were 
approved by NMFS to protect and restore listed Chinook and summer chum 
salmon populations across their range in Puget Sound (NMFS 2006; NMFS 
2007).
    As part of the proposed hatchery programs, monitoring and 
evaluation would be implemented to assess their performance in meeting 
population conservation or harvest augmentation objectives, and their 
effects on ESA-listed natural-origin Chinook salmon, summer chum 
salmon, and steelhead. Information gained through monitoring and 
evaluation will be used to assess whether the impacts of the programs 
on listed fish are as expected. Review of monitoring and evaluation 
results by NMFS and the co-managers will occur annually to evaluate 
whether assumptions regarding RMP effects and analysis remain valid, 
and whether the objectives of the RMPs are being accomplished.
    The RMPs include provisions for annual reports that will assess 
compliance with performance standards established through the RMPs. 
Reporting and inclusion of new information derived from RMP research, 
monitoring, and evaluation activities provides assurance that 
performance standards will be achieved in future seasons. NMFS' 
evaluation is available on the West Coast Region Web site at https://www.westcoast.fisheries.noaa.gov.

Summary of Comments Received in Response to the Proposed Evaluation and 
Pending Determination

    NMFS published notice of its proposed evaluation and pending 
determination on the plans for public review and comment on February 
20, 2015 (80 FR 9260). The proposed evaluation and pending 
determination and an associated draft environmental assessment were 
available for public review and comment for 30 days.
    During the public comment period, NMFS received two comment letters 
on the draft environmental assessment. None of the comments raised 
issues that required substantive modification of the environmental 
assessment. The comments and NMFS' detailed responses are available on 
the West Coast Region Web site, as an appendix to the environmental 
assessment. Based on its evaluation and recommended determination and 
taking into account the public comments, NMFS issued its final 
determination on the Dungeness River salmon hatchery plans.

Authority

    Under section 4 of the ESA, the Secretary of Commerce is required 
to adopt such regulations as he deems necessary and advisable for the 
conservation of species listed as threatened. The ESA salmon and 
steelhead 4(d) rule (65 FR 42422, July 10, 2000) specifies categories 
of activities that contribute to the conservation of listed salmonids 
and sets out the criteria for such activities. The rule further 
provides that the prohibitions of paragraph (a) of the rule do not 
apply to actions undertaken in compliance with a RMP developed jointly 
by a state and a tribe and determined by NMFS to be in accordance with 
the salmon and steelhead 4(d) rule (65 FR 42422, July 10, 2000).
