SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Recovery plans describe actions
beneficial to the conservation and
recovery of species listed under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA),
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The
ESA requires that recovery plans, to the
extent practicable, incorporate: (1)
objective, measurable criteria which,
when met, would result in a
determination that the species is no
longer threatened or endangered; (2)
site-specific management actions that
may be necessary to achieve the plan’s
goals; and (3) estimates of the time
required and costs to implement
recovery actions. The ESA requires the
development of recovery plans for listed
species unless such a plan would not
promote the recovery of a particular
species.
NMFS’ goal is to restore endangered
and threatened Pacific salmon and
steelhead to the point that they are again
self-sustaining members of their
ecosystems and no longer need the
protections of the ESA. NMFS believes
it is critically important to base its
recovery plans on the many state,
regional, tribal, local, and private
conservation efforts already underway
throughout the region. Therefore, the
agency supports and participates in
locally led collaborative efforts to
develop recovery plans, involving local
communities, state, tribal, and Federal
entities, and other stakeholders. As the
lead ESA agency for listed salmon,
NMFS is responsible for reviewing these
locally produced recovery plans and
deciding whether they meet ESA
statutory requirements and merit
adoption as ESA recovery plans.
The Upper Columbia River SpringRun Chinook Salmon (O. tshawytscha)
ESU was listed as endangered under the
ESA on March 24, 1999 (64 FR 14307).
The Upper Columbia River Steelhead
(O. mykiss) DPS was listed as
endangered on August 18, 1997 (62 FR
43937), and reclassified as threatened
on January 5, 2006 (71 FR 834). The
2006 reclassification of the steelhead
DPS was invalidated as the result of a
decision in U.S. District Court on June
13, 2007 (Trout Unlimited, et al. v.
Lohn, No. CV–06–1493–ST). Thus, the
present status of the Upper Columbia
River Steelhead DPS is endangered.
On December 30, 2005, the Upper
Columbia Salmon Recovery Board
(UCSRB) presented its locally developed
Draft Recovery Plan to NMFS. The
UCSRB includes representatives from
Chelan County, Douglas County,
Okanogan County, Yakama Nation, and
the Confederated Tribes of the Colville
