(5) Do you use Coast Guard HF radio 

Simplex Teletype over Radio (SITOR) 

(also known as Narrow Band Direct 

printing (NBDP)) to receive marine 

weather forecasts? (Yes or No) If yes, 

how often do you use Coast Guard 

SITOR radio broadcasts and how critical 

are they to your safety and operation as 

compared to the other sources you listed 

in your response to Question 2? 

(6) What alternative source(s) for 

obtaining marine weather forecasts 

would you pursue if Coast Guard HF 

broadcasts were no longer available? 

How would you rate the alternative 

source(s) in terms of (a) user cost and (b) 

usefulness of the information as 

compared to the Coast Guard HF 

broadcast it replaces? 

(7) Would the loss of Coast Guard HF 

marine weather broadcasts affect you? 

Please explain. 

(8) How far seaward does your vessel 

primarily operate? (For example, coastal 

(0–25 nautical miles (nm) seaward); 

offshore (25–200 nm seaward); or, high 

seas (more than 200 nm seaward.) In 

what geographic area(s) do you 

generally operate your vessel? (For 

example, mid-Atlantic, New England, 

North Central Pacific, Hawaii, Gulf of 

Mexico, etc.) 

As noted previously, comments 

regarding these questions, and any other 

pertinent matters brought to our 

attention during the comment period, 

will be taken into account in our future 

actions regarding the issues raised by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Restoring endangered or threatened 

animals and plants to the point where 

they are again secure, self-sustaining 

members of their ecosystems is a 

primary goal of our endangered species 

program. The Endangered Species Act 

(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (ESA) requires 

the development of recovery plans for 

listed species unless such a plan would 

not promote the conservation of a 

particular species. Recovery plans help 

guide the recovery effort by describing 

actions considered necessary for the 

conservation of the species, establishing 

criteria for downlisting or delisting 

listed species, and estimating time and 

cost for implementing the measures 

needed for recovery. 

Section 4(f) of the ESA requires that 

public notice, and an opportunity for 

public review and comment, be 

provided during recovery plan 

development. We will consider all 

information presented during the public 

comment period. Substantive comments 

on the recovery needs of the species or 

other aspects of recovery plan 

development may result in changes to 

the recovery plan. Substantive 

comments regarding recovery plan 

implementation may not necessarily 

result in changes to the recovery plan, 

but will be forwarded to appropriate 

Federal agencies or other entities so that 

they can take these comments into 

account during the course of 

implementing recovery actions. 

Individual responses to comments will 

not be provided. 

The northern spotted owl inhabits 

structurally complex forests from 

southwest British Columbia through the 

Cascade Mountains and coastal ranges 

in Washington, Oregon, and California, 

as far south as Marin County. When the 

northern spotted owl was listed under 

the ESA as a threatened species on June 

26, 1990, the major threats were 

identified as widespread loss and
