SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice is relevant to the Upper

Willamette River Steelhead

(Oncorhynchus mykiss) Evolutionarily

Significant Unit (ESU).

Background

ODFW has submitted to NMFS an

FMEP (Upper Willamette River Winter

Steelhead in Sport Fisheries of the

Upper Willamette Basin) for inland

recreational fisheries potentially

affecting listed adult and juvenile UWR

steelhead. These include fisheries

occurring in the Willamette River and

tributaries above Willamette Falls,

including the North and South Santiam

Rivers, and the Molalla River. The

objective of the FMEP is to harvest

known, hatchery-origin steelhead and

other fish species in a manner that does

not jeopardize the survival and recovery

of the UWR steelhead ESU. All fisheries

included in this FMEP will be managed

such that only hatchery-origin steelhead

that are adipose fin clipped may be

retained. Impacts levels to listed UWR

steelhead are specified in the FMEP.

Population viability analysis 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 review of compliance

with the provisions of the FMEP will be

conducted by ODFW annually and a

comprehensive review to evaluate the

effectiveness of the FMEP will occur at

a minimum of every 5 years.

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

FMEP. This Assessment is also available

for review and comment.

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).

especially interested in public comment

addressing the following issues: (1) Is

this collection necessary to the proper

functions of the Department; (2) will

this information be processed and used

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate

of burden accurate; (4) how might the

Department enhance the quality, utility,
