ACTION: Notice of final determination

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.

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.
