SUMMARY: NOAA’s National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) has received a
request from the City of Seattle (the
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
33977
City) to amend its Permit 1235 (Permit)
authorizing take of Puget Sound
chinook salmon incidental to the
operation of the City’s watershed supply
and management system. NMFS is
requesting comments on whether Permit
1235 if amended as requested would
still meet the statutory criteria for
issuance of an incidental take permit.
DATES: Written comments on the
proposed permit amendment must be
received at the appropriate address or
fax number (see ADDRESSES) no later
than 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time July
20, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to Matthew Longenbaugh,
Habitat Conservation Division, National
Marine Fisheries Service, 510 Desmond
Drive, Suite 103, Lacey, WA 98503.
Comments may also be faxed to 360–
753–9517. Comments will be accepted
via email at
Matthew.Longenbaugh@noaa.gov

Under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) and its
implementing regulations, ≥take≥ defined to include harm and harassment
as well as activities such as killing and
capture - of endangered species is
prohibited, absent a permit or other
exception. By regulation, NMFS has
applied the prohibition of take to
threatened Puget Sound chinook
salmon. In 2000, NMFS issued
Incidental Take Permit 1235 (Permit)
authorizing take of Puget Sound
chinook salmon incidental to the
operation of the City’s water supply
system. The City’s Cedar River
Watershed Habitat Conservation Plan
(HCP), required for issuance of an
incidental take permit, and supporting
documents by NMFS analyzed the
effects of the City’s activities, not only
to the listed Puget Sound chinook
salmon but also to several species that
were not listed under the ESA in 2000.
The HCP and the Implementing
Agreement (IA) signed by the City and
NMFS, among others, provide that the
Permit’s authorization for incidental
take of unlisted species becomes
effective for that species upon its listing
and subsequent application of the take
prohibition. However, until the species
is listed and take is prohibited, the City
needs no Federal authorization to take
individual members of that unlisted
species.
On March 1, 2007, the City requested
that the Permit no longer include one
species of salmon, the Cedar River
