SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

ESA-Listed Species Covered in This Notice

    Puget Sound Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss): threatened, naturally 
produced.

Background

    The Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe, the Swinomish Indian Tribal 
Community, the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe, and the Washington Department 
of Fish and Wildlife have jointly submitted a Skagit River steelhead 
fishery RMP to NMFS pursuant to the limitation on take prohibitions for 
actions conducted under Limit 6 of the 4(d) Rule for salmon and 
steelhead promulgated under the ESA (73 FR 55451, September 25, 2008). 
The RMP was submitted in December of 2021. The RMP provides the 
management framework for the harvest of Skagit River natural-origin 
steelhead in the Skagit River terminal area. NMFS has prepared a 
Proposed Evaluation and Pending Determination (PEPD) as to whether the 
RMP meets the criteria under Limit 6 of the 4(d) Rule, and as to 
whether implementation of the RMP will appreciably reduce the 
likelihood of survival and recovery of ESA-listed Puget Sound 
steelhead, and a supplemental Environmental Assessment (EA) on the NMFS 
determination. By this notice, NMFS is inviting interested persons to 
comment on either or both documents.
    As required by the ESA 4(d) Rule (65 FR 42422, July 10, 2000, as 
updated in 70 FR 37160, June 28, 2005), the Secretary is seeking public 
comment on this PEPD as to whether the RMP meets the criteria under 
Limit 6 of the 4(d) Rule and as to whether implementation of the RMP 
will appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of ESA-
listed Puget Sound steelhead. Prior to making a final determination, 
NMFS will take comments on its pending determination (50 CFR 
223.204(b)(3)).
