The FMEPs specify the future management of inland recreational fisheries potentially affecting LCR coho salmon.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Turner, Portland, Oregon, at phone number: (503) 736–4737, or email: rich.turner@noaa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: Species Covered in This Notice This notice is relevant to the Lower Columbia River coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), Lower Columbia River Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), Lower Columbia River steelhead (O. mykiss), and Columbia River chum salmon (O. keta) evolutionarily significant unit (ESU). ODFW has submitted to NMFS an FMEP: Lower Columbia River Coho in Oregon Freshwater Fisheries of the Lower Columbia River Tributaries PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (between the Pacific Ocean and Hood River). WDFW has submitted an amendment to their Lower Columbia River FMEP for inland recreational fisheries potentially affecting listed adult and juvenile LCR coho salmon. These FMEPs include fisheries occurring in all tributaries to the Lower Columbia River from the Pacific Ocean to the Hood River in Oregon and the Big White Salmon River in Washington. The objective of the fisheries described in these FMEPs is to harvest known, hatchery-origin coho salmon, and other fish species in a manner that does not appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of listed LCR salmon and steelhead ESUs. All fisheries included in these FMEPs will be managed such that only hatcheryorigin coho salmon that are adipose finclipped may be retained. Impact levels on listed LCR coho salmon are specified in ODFW’s FMEP and the amendment to WDFW’s FMEP. Population viability analysis and risk assessments in the FMEPs indicate the extinction risk for listed coho salmon would not increase as a result of the proposed fisheries. A variety of monitoring and evaluation tasks are specified in the FMEPs to assess the abundance of coho salmon, determine fishery effort and catch of coho salmon and other species, and monitor angler compliance. A review of compliance with the provisions of the FMEPs will be conducted by the state fisheries agencies annually and a E:\FR\FM\03OCN1.SGM 03OCN1
