Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 141 / Friday, July 22, 2011 / Notices
Also on May 11, 2011, NMFS received
an application from the BIA on behalf
of the NPT for an ESA section
10(a)(1)(A) permit for the direct take of
ESA-listed Snake River fall Chinook
salmon in order to carry out an artificial
propagation (hatchery) program at the
Nez Perce Tribal Hatchery and
associated facilities to enhance the
species. The purpose of this program is
to mitigate for losses of Snake River fall
Chinook salmon caused by the Federal
Columbia River Power System.
On July 18, 2011, the applicants
jointly submitted an addendum to the
HGMPs. The HGMPs and addendum
propose continuation of the programs as
currently designed with two important
additions. First, the programs will be
evaluated annually for indications of
adverse effects on the Snake River fall
Chinook salmon population and,
second, the programs will be augmented
by new research, monitoring, and
evaluation (RM&E) to address
uncertainties about hatchery program
effects on Snake River fall Chinook
salmon viability. The indicator that will
be monitored annually and the new
RM&E actions are described in the
addendum, which is available for public
review and comment as part of the
permit application package.

NMFS for possible consideration in the
next Lower Columbia River tule
biological opinion for ocean salmon
seasons in 2012 and beyond, and
distributed to State and Federal
recovery planning processes. In the
event that a usable approach emerges
from this process, the Pacific Council
may consider a fishery management
plan (FMP) amendment process
beginning after November 2011 to adopt
the approach as a formal conservation
objective in the Salmon FMP.
Although non-emergency issues not
