WDFW has submitted to NMFS an FMEP entitled ‘‘WDFW Recreational fisheries for summer steelhead, warmwater fish, sturgeon, carp, and other species.’’ The FMEP describes the management of recreational fisheries in the State of Washington, Snake River basin, for adipose-clipped, hatcheryorigin summer steelhead, warmwater fish, sturgeon, carp, and other game fish species in a manner that is intended to comply with requirements of the ESA under limit 4 of the 4(d) Rule. The FMEP includes adaptive management measures to limit ESA impacts and proposes conservative incidental harvest regimes on natural-origin members of the affected listed species. As described in the FMEP, the proposed fisheries are expected to result in the mortality of no more than 5%, 1.5%, and 0.2% of any population of listed, natural-origin Snake River steelhead, fall Chinook salmon, and spring/ summer Chinook salmon, respectively. The FMEP presents evidence that the abundance of natural-origin fish has trended upwards over the past five years. In addition, the FMEP includes monitoring programs that are intended to ensure that the proposed fisheries and associated incidental take would not reduce the chances of survival and recovery of the affected listed species. The FMEP includes a provision that directs WDFW to conduct an annual review to determine if completed fisheries were conducted in manner that complied with the guidance provided in the FMEP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Species Covered in This Notice

    This notice is relevant to the Snake River Steelhead (Oncorhynchus 
mykiss) Distinct Population Segment (DPS), the Snake River Spring/
summer-run Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Evolutionarily 
Significant Unit (ESU), and the Snake River Fall-run Chinook 
(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) ESU.
    WDFW has submitted to NMFS an FMEP entitled ``WDFW Recreational 
fisheries for summer steelhead, warmwater fish, sturgeon, carp, and 
other species.'' The FMEP describes the management of recreational 
fisheries in the State of Washington, Snake River basin, for adipose-
clipped, hatchery-origin summer steelhead, warmwater fish, sturgeon, 
carp, and other game fish species in a manner that is intended to 
comply with requirements of the ESA under limit 4 of the 4(d) Rule. The 
FMEP includes adaptive management measures to limit ESA impacts and 
proposes conservative incidental harvest regimes on natural-origin 
members of the affected listed species. As described in the FMEP, the 
proposed fisheries are expected to result in the mortality of no more 
than 5%, 1.5%, and 0.2% of any population of listed, natural-origin 
Snake River steelhead, fall Chinook salmon, and spring/summer Chinook 
salmon, respectively. The FMEP presents evidence that the abundance of 
natural-origin fish has trended upwards over the past five years. In 
addition, the FMEP includes monitoring programs that are intended to 
ensure that the proposed fisheries and associated incidental take would 
not reduce the chances of survival and recovery of the affected listed 
species.
    The FMEP includes a provision that directs WDFW to conduct an 
annual review to determine if completed fisheries were conducted in 
manner that complied with the guidance provided in the FMEP. Further, 
WDFW will provide a pre-season planning letter each year to NMFS for 
concurrence that demonstrates the fisheries intended for the upcoming 
season shall be consistent with the fisheries management protocols 
described in the FMEP.
    As specified in the July 10, 2000, ESA 4(d) rule for salmon and 
steelhead (65 FR 42422) and updated June 28, 2005 (70 FR 37160), NMFS 
may approve an FMEP if it meets criteria set forth in 50 CFR 
223.203(b)(4)(i)(A) through (I). Prior to final approval of an FMEP, 
NMFS must publish notification announcing its availability for public 
review and comment.

Authority

    Under section 4 of the ESA, the Secretary of Commerce is required 
to adopt such regulations as he deems necessary and advisable for the 
conservation of species listed as threatened. The ESA salmon and 
steelhead 4(d) rule (65 FR 42422, July 10, 2000, as updated in 70 FR 
37160, June 28, 2005) specifies categories of activities that 
contribute to the conservation of listed salmonids and sets out the 
criteria for such activities. Limit 4 of the updated 4(d) rule (50 CFR 
223.203(b)(4)) further provides that the prohibitions of paragraph (a) 
of the updated 4(d) rule (50 CFR 223.203(a)) do not apply to activities 
associated with fishery harvest provided that an FMEP has been approved 
by NMFS to be in accordance with the salmon and steelhead 4(d) rule (65 
FR 42422, July 10, 2000, as updated in 70 FR 37160, June 28, 2005).
