ESA-Listed Species Covered in This Notice Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss): threatened, naturally produced and artificially propagated Puget Sound. [FR Doc. 2023–07329 Filed 4–6–23; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510–13–P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [RTID 0648–XC891] Endangered and Threatened Species; Take of Anadromous Fish National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. ACTION: Notice of final determination and discussion of underlying biological and environmental analyses; notice of availability of Finding of No Significant Impact. AGENCY: NMFS has evaluated the joint resource management plan (RMP) submitted to NMFS by the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, Upper Skagit Indian Tribe, and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, 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 Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Skagit River steelhead fishery RMP manages harvest of ESA-listed, Skagit River steelhead in Treaty Indian fisheries and non-Treaty recreational fisheries in the Skagit River terminal area of Washington State. This document serves to notify the public that NMFS, by delegated authority from the Secretary of Commerce, had determined pursuant to Limit 6 of the 4(d) Rule for salmon and steelhead that implementing and enforcing this RMP will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of Puget Sound steelhead. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), NMFS also announces the availability of its Finding of No Significant Impact for the Skagit River steelhead fisheries, under the RMP. DATES: The final determination of take prohibition limitation under the ESA was made on March 22, 2023. The Finding of No Significant Impact was signed on March 22, 2023. ADDRESSES: Written responses to the determination should be addressed to the NMFS Sustainable Fisheries Division, 1009 College St. Southeast, Suite 210, Lacey, WA 98503. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:11 Apr 06, 2023 Jkt 259001 Background The Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, Upper Skagit Indian Tribe, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife have jointly submitted a 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 Endangered Species Act (ESA). The plan was submitted on December 6, 2021, pursuant to limit 6 of the 4(d) Rule for ESA-listed salmon and steelhead. The RMP would manage the harvest of Skagit River natural-origin steelhead in the Skagit River terminal marine area. As required, NMFS took public comments on its recommended determination for how the plans address the criteria in § 223.203(b)(5) prior to making its final determination. Discussion of the Biological Analysis Underlying the Determination The goal of the Skagit RMP is to provide steelhead fishing opportunities for the Skagit River Treaty Indian Tribes and for recreational fishers, in a manner that is conservative at higher run sizes and increasingly so at lower run sizes. For a period of 10 years (through April 30, 2032), the Skagit RMP will allow implementation of annual steelhead fisheries in the Skagit terminal management area consistent with the impact limits, management framework, enforcement and monitoring requirements, as described in the RMP. The Skagit RMP utilizes an abundancebased, stepped harvest regime to determine annual harvest rates, based on the annual estimated run size. These stepped harvest rates range from a 4 percent total allowable harvest rate at low run sizes (<4,001 adults) to 25 percent for runs greater than 8,001 adults. The Sustainable Fisheries Division (SFD) has analyzed the Skagit RMP’s proposed abundance-based, stepped harvest regime, along with the conservation measures proposed in the plan. We have concluded that the Skagit RMP would provide effective protection to the Skagit River steelhead populations and would not jeopardize PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the Puget Sound Steelhead Distinct Population Segment (DPS) based on parameters defining a viable salmonid population in terms of overall abundance and productivity, as well as the diversity and spatial structure of the steelhead within the Skagit River basin and the role of the Skagit steelhead to the larger DPS. The Skagit RMP will provide for the proposed harvest opportunities while not appreciably slowing the population’s achievement of viable function or appreciable reducing the survival and recovery of the Puget Sound Steelhead DPS. NMFS’ determination on the Skagit RMP depends upon implementation of all of the monitoring, evaluation, reporting tasks or assignments, and enforcement activities included in the RMP. Reporting and inclusion of new information derived from research, monitoring, and evaluation activities described in the plan provide assurance that performance standards will be achieved in future seasons. NMFS’ evaluation is available on the West Coast Region website at: https:// www.fisheries.noaa.gov/action/skagitbasin-steelhead-fishery. Summary of Comments Received in the Response to the Proposed Evaluation and Pending Determination NMFS published notice of its Proposed Evaluation and Pending Determination (PEPD) on the plan for public review and comment on December 23, 2022 (87 FR 78944). The PEPD was available for public review and comment for 30 days. During the public comment period, 28 comments were received, all by email. These came in the form of: individual, unique comments, and letters from fishing and conservation organizations. NMFS thoroughly reviewed and considered all of the substantive comments received from the public and the additional literature cited. This review of new information and data informed NMFS’ subsequent analysis, in its biological opinion, but did not lead to any changes to the Skagit RMP, as submitted, or to SFD’s determination that the plan adequately addresses the 4(d), Limit 6 criteria. A section summarizing and responding to the substantive comments received during the public comment period on the PEPD is included as part of the final evaluation document, available on the West Coast Region website. Based on its evaluation and recommended determination, and considering the public comments, NMFS issued its final determination on the joint state-tribal plan on March 22, 2023.
