ACTION: Notice; issuance of an 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) section 

10 permit. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

NMFS is issuing an ESA section 

10(a)(1)(A) permit for a trap and haul 

operation at Sunset Falls on the 

Skykomish River in Washington State. 

The permit addresses a program 

operated by the Washington Department 

of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Before 

issuing the permit, NMFS solicited 

public comments on the permit 

application.

Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha): 

Threatened, naturally produced and 

artificially propagated Puget Sound. 

Discussion of the Biological Analysis 

Underlying Permit Issuance 

NMFS has issued the ESA section 

10(a)(1)(A) permit for operation of the 

Sunset Falls trap and haul program, 

which is operated by WDFW since the 

late 1950s to increase habitat available 

to various species of salmon, steelhead, 

and trout. The program traps and hauls 

ESA-listed salmon and steelhead and is 

consistent with the recovery plans for 

each species. 

NMFS has analyzed the effects of the 

trap and haul program on salmon and 

steelhead listed under the ESA and has 

concluded that the program would not 

appreciably reduce the likelihood of 

survival and recovery of ESA-listed 

species. Authorization of the activities 

depends upon implementation of all of 

the monitoring, evaluation, reporting 

tasks or assignments, and enforcement 

activities included in the permit. 

Summary of Comments Received 

NMFS made the ESA section 

10(a)(1)(A) permit application available 

for public review and comment on 

December 22, 2020 (85 FR 83519), as 

required by the ESA. No substantive 

comments were received specific to the 

application. However, we received 

several general comments in support of 

the program. 

NMFS published a notice of 

availability for public review and 

comment on the Draft Environmental 

Assessment (DEA) on February 5, 2021 

(86 FR 8342), in accordance with 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.). The DEA was available for 

public review and comment for 30 days, 

and our responses to the comments are 

addressed in our Final Environmental 

Assessment (FEA). NMFS has 

determined that there are no significant 

impacts associated with the project and 

issued a FONSI for the program on July 

2, 2021. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1531–1543; 50 

CFR subpart B, § 223.201–202 also 

issued under 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.; 16 

U.S.C. 5503(d) for 50 CFR 223.206(d)(9).
