Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 47 / Wednesday, March 11, 2015 / Notices 12807 

ESA-Listed Species Covered in This 

Notice 

Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus 

tshawytscha): threatened, naturally 

produced and artificially propagated 

Lower Columbia River. 

Chum salmon (O. keta): threatened, 

naturally produced Columbia River. 

Coho salmon (O. kisutch): threatened, 

naturally produced and artificially 

propagated Lower Columbia River. 

Steelhead (O. mykiss): threatened, 

naturally produced and artificially 

propagated Lower Columbia River. 

Pacific eulachon (Thaleichthys 

pacificus): threatened, naturally 

produced southern distinct population 

segment. 

ODFW has previously submitted to 

NMFS four HGMPs describing hatchery 

programs that release salmon and 

steelhead into the Sandy River that were 

found, in a September 28, 2012, 

determination, to comply with 

requirements of the ESA under limit 5 

of the 4(d) Rule. These programs were 

designed to meet mitigation 

responsibilities related to impacts from 

development in the Sandy River and 

Columbia River Basins by providing 

hatchery fish to support fishing 

opportunities while minimizing 

potential risks to natural-origin spring 

Chinook salmon, coho salmon, and 

winter steelhead populations, consistent 

with Oregon’s Lower Columbia River 

Conservation and Recovery Plan for 

Oregon Populations of Salmon and 

Steelhead, and NMFS’ Recovery Plan. 

Since the determination in 2012, 

ODFW has identified changes it wishes 

to make to its hatchery operations and 

has submitted to NMFS four revised 

HGMPs describing changes to the 

current hatchery programs. The revised 

HGMPs were made available for public 

review and comment on December 10, 

2013 (78 FR 74116). The revised HGMPs 

were found, in an August 8, 2014, 

determination, to comply with 

requirements of the ESA under limit 5 

of the 4(d) Rule. The draft 

environmental assessment evaluates the 

potential effects of approving those 

updated HGMPs. 

Authority 

NEPA requires Federal agencies to 

conduct an environmental analysis of 

their proposed actions to determine if 

the actions may affect the human 

environment. Therefore, NMFS is 

seeking public input on the scope of the 

required NEPA analysis, including the 

range of reasonable alternatives and 

associated impacts of any alternatives.
