ACTION: Proposed modication of permit 1235. AGENCY: 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 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Longenbaugh at phone number 360–753–7761, or e-mail: 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 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\20JNN1.SGM 20JNN1
