ACTION: Notice; determination on a tribal
resource management plan.
AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that
NMFS has made a final determination
on the Hoopa Valley Tribe’s Tribal
Resource Management Plan (TRMP).
The determination is pursuant to the
limitation on take prohibitions for
actions conducted under Tribal
Resource Management Plans
promulgated under the 4(d) Rule of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) (Tribal
4(d) Rule). The TRMP specifies harvest,
research, and monitoring activities for
tribal fisheries affecting ESA-listed
Southern Oregon/Northern California
Coast Coho Salmon in the portion of the
Trinity River within the Hoopa Valley
Reservation. As required by the Tribal
4(d) Rule, NMFS sought public
comment on its pending determination
prior to making a final determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
ESA Listed Species Covered in This
Notice
Southern Oregon/Northern California
Coast Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus
kisutch)
Evolutionarily Significant Unit:
threatened, naturally produced, and
artificially propagated.
Background
The Hoopa Valley Tribe submitted a
TRMP for review under the ESA Tribal
4(d) Rule. Under section 4 of the ESA,
the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) is
required to adopt such regulations as
deemed 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 criteria for such activities to qualify
as limits on take prohibitions. The ESA
Tribal 4(d) Rule (65 FR 42481, July 10,
2000) states that the take prohibitions of
ESA Section 9 will not apply to a TRMP
provided that the Secretary has
determined that the TRMP will not
appreciably reduce the likelihood of
survival and recovery for the listed
species (50 CFR 223.204(a)).
The Hoopa Valley Tribe’s TRMP
provides a framework through which
Tribal salmon fisheries can be
implemented while meeting
requirements specified under the ESA.
The TRMP describes the proposed
fisheries, establishes limits for harvest,
and describes monitoring, evaluation,
and reporting provisions associated
with the fisheries. The TRMP
management objective is for the Tribe to
conduct fisheries in a manner that does
not appreciably reduce the likelihood of
survival and recovery of ESA-listed
coho salmon.
NMFS has analyzed the effects of the
TRMP on ESA-listed salmon and
steelhead species and has concluded
that the TRMP would not appreciable
reduce the likelihood of survival and
recovery of ESA-listed species, while
providing for the proposed tribal harvest
opportunities. Our determination
depends upon implementation of all of
the monitoring, evaluation, reporting
tasks or assignments, and enforcement
activities included in the TRMP, and
that the fisheries stay within the impact
limits described in the TRMP.
Summary of Comments Received on the
Proposed Evaluation and Pending
Determination
Prior to making a final determination
on Tribal Plans, NMFS must take
comments on its pending determination
as to whether or not implementation of
the plan will appreciably reduce the
likelihood of survival and recovery of
ESA-listed salmonids (50 CFR
223.204(b)(3)). NMFS assessed the
TRMP and prepared a Proposed
Evaluation and Pending Determination
(PEPD). The PEPD was posted on the
NMFS website and a notice of
availability was posted in the Federal
Register on February 23, 2022 (87 FR
10174). The public comment period
expired on March 25, 2022. No
comments were received on the PEPD.

I. Abstract
This is a request for extension of an
approved information collection.
The Human Dimensions Team of the
Conservation Biology Division at the
Northwest Fisheries Science Center
(NWFSC), Seattle, WA, is requesting a
renewal of its currently approved
voluntary information collection 0648–
0606. The data collected under this
authorization supports the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the
current Magnuson Stevens Fishery
Conservation Act (MSA), contributes
information to the Endangered Species
Act requirements, and the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. Information from this
data collection has supported National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and
Pacific Fisheries Management Council
(PFMC) fisheries management actions.
Data from this study has been included
in broad resources to include the MSA
mandated 5-year review of the West
Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Shares
Program, in peer-reviewed documents,
websites, and white papers. The
collection of this data not only informs
legal requirements for existing
management actions, but provides
information for future management
actions requiring equivalent
information.
Literature indicates fisheries
rationalization programs have an impact
on those individuals participating in the
affected fishery. The PFMC
implemented a rationalization program
for the West Coast Groundfish limited
entry trawl fishery in January 2011. This
research aims to continue to study the
individuals in the affected fishery over
the long term. It aims to collect data on
a five-year cycle, post initial data
collection efforts. Prior data collection
was related to program design elements.
A baseline data collection occurred in
2010, followed by a second postimplementation collection in 2012, and
a post quota-share trading collection in
2015/2016. The data collected has
contributed to the five-year review of
the program and highlighted several
areas for continued research. Efforts
have also identified the need for long
term data collection as species recover
and external factors affect fishermen in
this fishery. Such challenges include
underutilization, high costs of
participation, difficulty finding
qualified crew, COVID challenges, and
other challenges. The study has been
able to highlight several issues such as
‘graying of the fleet’ in smaller
communities, changing women’s roles
in commercial fishing, and fishermen’s
adaptations under the new regulations.
Continued research is needed to
