Marine Mammals; File No. 373–1868 ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Irma Lagomarsino, Protected Resources Division, NMFS, at 707–825–5160. On January 12, 2007, the MSRA was signed into law. The MSRA contains several new requirements related to salmon in the Klamath River Basin, including an obligation for the Secretary to complete a recovery plan for Klamath River coho salmon and make it available to the public within 6 months of the MSRA being implemented. The MSRA recovery plan was developed to satisfy that obligation and should not be confused with the recovery plan that NMFS is currently developing for the federally-listed Southern Oregon/ Northern California Coast coho evolutionary significant unit under the Endangered Species Act. Given the statutory deadline, NMFS compiled and synthesized the best available information on coho salmon in the Klamath River in a cohesive framework to develop the MSRA recovery plan. This plan draws heavily on existing recovery and restoration plans developed with substantial stakeholder participation. The MSRA recovery plan presents long-range guidance for various agencies, organizations and individuals to use as they consider taking actions or pursuing projects that may affect Klamath River coho salmon.
