and evaluation tasks are specified in the

FMEP to assess the abundance of

steelhead, determine fishery effort and

catch of steelhead, and angler

compliance. A comprehensive review of

the FMEP to evaluate whether the

fisheries and listed steelhead

populations are performing as expected

will be done through regular creel

surveys and angler contacts.

ODFW has submitted to NMFS an

FMEP (Summer Steelhead and Trout

Sport Fisheries in Grande Ronde Basin,

Imnaha Basin, and Snake River) for

recreational steelhead fisheries in the

Grande Ronde, Imnaha, and Snake River

Basins. The objective of this FMEP is to

harvest known, hatchery-origin

steelhead in a manner that does not

jeopardize the survival and recovery of

the SR steelhead ESU. Only adult

hatchery-origin steelhead that are

adipose fin clipped may be retained.

Impact levels to listed steelhead

populations in the ESU due to catch and

release are specified in the FMEP.

Population viability analyses and risk

assessments in the FMEP indicate the

extinction risk for listed steelhead under

the proposed fishery impact levels to be

less than 0.1 percent. A variety of

monitoring and evaluation tasks are

specified in the FMEP to assess the

abundance of steelhead, determine

fishery effort and catch of steelhead, and

angler compliance. A comprehensive

review of the FMEP to evaluate whether

the fisheries and listed steelhead

populations are performing as expected

will be done annually.

ODFW has provided NMFS a draft of

the Conservation Assessment of

Steelhead Populations in Oregon

(Assessment) as part of the FMEP

submittal. The Assessment provides the

population viability analysis and risk

assessment developed for ODFW’s

FMEPs. This Assessment is also

available for review and comment.

IDFG has submitted to NMFS an

FMEP (The State of Idaho Resident Fish

Species Fishing Program) for inland,

resident, recreational fisheries

potentially affecting listed adult and

juvenile SR steelhead. This includes

fisheries occurring throughout Idaho

including the Clearwater and Salmon

River Basins. The objective of the FMEP

is to provide sufficient sport fishing

opportunities in a manner that does not

jeopardize the survival and recovery of

the ESU. The FMEP focuses mainly on

impacts to juvenile steelhead. Impacts

can result from the fisheries themselves

and the potential impacts from the

resident fish stocking program. Impact

levels to listed steelhead populations in

the ESU due to catch and release are

specified in the FMEP. Population

viability analyses and risk assessments

in the FMEP indicate the extinction risk

for listed steelhead under the proposed

fishery impact levels to be low. A

variety of monitoring and evaluation

tasks are specified in the FMEP to assess

the abundance of steelhead, determine

fishery effort and catch of steelhead, and

angler compliance. A comprehensive

review of the FMEP to evaluate whether

the fisheries and listed steelhead

populations are performing as expected

will be done through regular creel

surveys and angler contacts.

As specified in the July 10, 2000 ESA

4(d) rule for salmon and steelhead (65

FR 42422), NMFS may approve an

FMEP if it meets criteria set forth in §

223.203 (b)(4)(i)(A) through (I). Prior to

final approval of an FMEP, NMFS must

publish notification announcing its

availability for public review and

comment.

Authority

Under section 4 of the ESA, the

Secretary of Commerce is required to

adopt such regulations as he deems

necessary and advisable for the

conservation of species listed as

threatened. The ESA salmon and

steelhead 4(d) rule (65 FR 42422, July

10, 2000) specifies categories of

activities that contribute to the

conservation of listed salmonids and

sets out the criteria for such activities.

The rule further provides that the

prohibitions of paragraph (a) of the rule

do not apply to activities associated

with fishery harvest provided that an

FMEP has been approved by NMFS to

be in accordance with the salmon and

steelhead ESA 4(d) rule (65 FR 42422,

July 10, 2000).

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the Oregon Department of Fish and

Wildlife (ODFW) has submitted two

Fisheries Management and Evaluation

Plans (FMEP) pursuant to the protective

regulations promulgated for Lower

Columbia River (LCR) steelhead under

the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The

FMEPs specify the future management

of inland recreational fisheries

potentially affecting the LCR steelhead.

This document serves to notify the

public of the availability of the FMEPs

for review and comment before a final

approval or disapproval is made by

NMFS.

DATES: Written comments on the draft

FMEPs must be received at the

appropriate address or fax number (see

ADDRESSES) no later than 5 p.m. Pacific

standard time on June 4, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and

requests for copies of the draft FMEPs

should be addressed to Richard Turner,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice is relevant to the Lower Columbia

River Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU).

Background

ODFW has submitted to NMFS two

FMEPs: (1) Hood River Basin Steelhead,

Trout and Warmwater Fisheries, and (2)

Lower Columbia River ESU Steelhead,

Trout, Sturgeon and Warmwater

Fisheries, for inland recreational

fisheries potentially affecting listed

adult and juvenile LCR steelhead. These

include fisheries occurring in the Hood

River; the lower Willamette River and

tributaries, including the Clackamas

River; the Columbia River tributaries

from below the Hood River downstream

to the North end of Sauvie Island (near

the town of St. Helens, OR); and the

Sandy River. The objective of these

FMEPs is to harvest known, hatcheryorigin steelhead and other fish species

in a manner that does not jeopardize the

survival and recovery of the LCR

steelhead ESU. All fisheries included in

these FMEPs will be managed such that

only hatchery-origin steelhead that are

adipose fin clipped may be retained.

Impacts levels to listed LCR steelhead

are specified in the FMEPs. Population

risk for listed steelhead under the

proposed fishery impact levels to be

low. A variety of monitoring and
