Fisheries Off West Coast States; West Coast Salmon Fisheries; 
Amendment 14; Essential Fish Habitat Descriptions for Pacific Salmon

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS issues this final rule to implement Essential Fish 
Habitat (EFH) identifications and descriptions for Pacific salmon 
included in Amendment 14 to the Pacific Salmon Fishery Management Plan 
(Salmon FMP). This final rule codifies the EFH identifications and 
descriptions for freshwater and marine habitats of Pacific salmon 
managed under the Salmon FMP, including Chinook, coho, and pink salmon. 
This action is necessary to comply with an order issued by the U.S. 
District Court for the District of Idaho which directed NMFS to codify 
the EFH identifications and descriptions contained in Amendment 14 to 
the Salmon FMP.

DATES: Effective November 14, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Record of Decision, the Final Supplemental 
Environmental Impact Statement, and Amendment 14 to the Salmon FMP are 
available at www.nwr.noaa.gov or from D. Robert Lohn, Administrator, 
Northwest Region, NMFS, 7600 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115-0070,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act 
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) 
to regulate domestic fisheries within the 200-mile U.S. Exclusive 
Economic Zone (EEZ) (16 U.S.C. 1811, 1853). Conservation and management 
of fish stocks is accomplished through Fishery Management Plans (FMPs). 
Eight regional fishery management councils develop FMPs and amendments 
to those plans for fisheries within their jurisdiction (16 U.S.C. 
1853). To be effective, FMPs and FMP amendments developed by the 
councils must be approved by the Secretary and then implemented through 
regulation (16 U.S.C. 1854). More information on the FMP process can be 
found at 16 U.S.C. 1851-1854.

Essential Fish Habitat

    The Magnuson-Stevens Act, originally enacted in 1976, has been 
amended several times. In 1996, the Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA) 
amended the Magnuson-Stevens Act adding provisions intended to end 
overfishing and rebuild overfished fisheries, reduce bycatch, and 
assess and minimize the impacts of management measures on fishing 
communities. Congress articulated in its findings that one of the 
greatest long-term threats to the viability of commercial and 
recreational fisheries is the continuing loss of marine, estuarine, and 
other aquatic habitats. Habitat considerations should receive increased 
attention for the conservation and management of fishery resources of 
the United States (16 U.S.C. 1801(a)(9)). In making such findings, 
Congress declared one of the purposes of the Magnuson-Stevens Act to be 
the promotion of ``the protection of [EFH] in the review of projects 
conducted under Federal permits, licenses, or other authorities that 
affect or have the potential to affect such habitat'' (16 U.S.C. 
1801(b)(7)). To ensure habitat considerations receive increased 
attention for the conservation and management of fishery resources, the 
amended Magnuson-Stevens Act required each existing, and any new, FMP 
to: describe and identify essential fish habitat for the fishery based 
on the guidelines established by the Secretary under section 
1855(b)(1)(A) of this title; minimize to the extent practicable adverse 
effects on such habitat caused by fishing; and, identify other actions 
to encourage the conservation and enhancement of such habitat (16 
U.S.C. 1853(a)(7)). ``EFH'' is defined in the Magnuson-Stevens Act as 
``those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, 
feeding, or growth to maturity'' (16 U.S.C. 1802(10)).
    The EFH regulations (50 CFR 600.815) establish additional guidance 
to the councils on how to identify and describe EFH. The regulations 
indicate that councils should obtain information to describe and 
identify EFH from the best available sources, including peer reviewed 
literature, unpublished scientific reports, data files of government 
resource agencies, fisheries landing reports, and other sources of 
information.
    The regulations identify four classification levels to organize 
available information relevant to EFH identifications and descriptions. 
Level 1 information is limited to species distributional data; level 2 
information includes habitat-related densities; level 3 includes 
growth, reproduction or survival rates within habitats; and level 4 
consists of production rates by habitat. Councils are encouraged to 
identify and describe EFH based on the highest level of detail (i.e., 
level 4). The EFH regulations (50 CFR 600.815, subpart J) provide a 
complete description of each of these levels as well as guidance on how 
the councils should analyze the available information.
    To establish EFH, the regulations advise the councils to interpret 
the available information in a ``risk-averse fashion to ensure adequate 
areas are identified as EFH for managed species'' (50 CFR 
600.815(a)(1)(iv)(A)). For Pacific salmon, the Pacific Fishery 
Management Council (Pacific Council) obtained information at all four 
levels for certain freshwater areas, and the first three levels of 
information for the estuaries; only the first level of information was 
available for marine areas.

Amendment 14 to the Pacific Salmon Fishery Management Plan

    The Secretary approved the Salmon FMP under the Magnuson-Stevens 
Act, (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), in 1978. The Pacific Council has amended 
the Salmon FMP 14 times since 1978. The Pacific Council identified and 
described EFH for Pacific Salmon in Amendment 14 to the Salmon FMP and 
submitted it on June 12, 2000 for Secretarial review. Following a 
public comment period, the Secretary approved Amendment 14 on September 
27, 2000. NMFS codified some, but not all, components of Amendment 14. 
The Pacific Salmon EFH descriptions and identifications, however, were 
not codified.
    In September of 2003, the U.S. District Court for the District of 
Idaho (Court) (Case No. CV02-C-EJL) held that the

[[Page 60988]]

EFH identifications and descriptions for Pacific salmon included in 
Amendment 14 constitute a substantive rule under the Administrative 
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553 et seq. The Court remanded Amendment 
14's EFH Pacific Salmon designations to NMFS and ordered that it 
undertake notice and comment rulemaking to codify the EFH 
identifications and descriptions. To comply with the Court's order, 
NMFS published a proposed rule to codify EFH for Pacific salmon on 
April 20, 2007 (72 FR 19862). Public comments for this action were 
received through July 19, 2007.
    This final rule codifies the EFH identifications and descriptions 
for freshwater and marine habitats of Pacific salmon managed under the 
Salmon FMP for Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho (O. kisutch), 
and Puget Sound pink (O. gorbuscha) salmon in Washington, Oregon, Idaho 
and California.

Changes from the Proposed Rule

    NMFS made minor, non-substantive changes to the proposed rule to 
improve the clarity and accuracy of the regulations. Such changes 
include corrections to United States Geological Survey Hydrological 
Unit Codes identified in the regulations, deletion of confusing and 
unnecessary language regarding the extent of the U.S. Exclusive 
Economic Zone, as well as revisions to correct grammatical and spelling 
errors.

Comments and Responses

    NMFS received one comment on the proposed rule.
    Comment: The U.S. Department of Interior commented that the 
following three Bureau of Reclamation dams should be included in table 
1 of the proposed regulations as impassable man-made barriers and 
thereby function as the upstream extent of EFH: Bumping Lake Dam on the 
Bumping River (HUC 17090002); McKay Dam on McKay Creek in the Umatilla 
River basin (HUC 17070103); and Emigrant Dam on Emigrant Creek in the 
Middle Rogue River basin (HUC 17100308).
    In addition, the U.S. Department of Interior noted that the 
proposed rule would identify EFH for coho salmon in the Lower Deschutes 
River (HUC 17070306) and commented that based on NOAA Technical 
Memorandum NMFS-NWRSC-66 entitled ``Updated Status of Federally Listed 
ESUs of West Coast Salmon and Steelhead,'' coho salmon did not 
historically, and do not presently, occur in the Deschutes River Basin.
    Response: NMFS acknowledges DOI's comments. NMFS will provide DOI's 
comments to the Pacific Council for its consideration in the full EFH 
review required under 50 CFR 600.815(a)(10). During this review, the 
Council and NMFS will consider what changes to make to EFH in the FMP 
and will initiate the appropriate plan amendment process. Until this 
process is complete, NMFS will consider the information provided by DOI 
in any EFH consultations that may become necessary.

Classification

    The NMFS Northwest Region completed an ESA section 7 consultation 
on November 18, 1999, on the effects of Amendment 14 on listed salmon 
evolutionarily significant units. Amendment 14 does not by itself 
authorize any fishing or other activity that would result in adverse 
effects to listed fish or designated critical habitat. Based on this 
and other considerations, NMFS concluded that Amendment 14 and its 
implementing regulations are not likely to adversely affect listed 
salmon or their critical habitat. This rule is consistent with the 
determination in Amendment 14 that the action does not jeopardize the 
continued existence of ESA listed salmon.
    This final rule has been determined to be not significant for 
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    The Chief Counsel for Regulations of the Department of Commerce 
certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business 
Administration during the proposed rule stage that this action would 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. The factual basis for the certification was published in the 
proposed rule and is not repeated here. No comments were received 
regarding this certification or the economic impacts of the rule. As a 
result, a regulatory flexibility analysis was not required and none was 
prepared.

2. Section 660.412 is added under subpart H to read as follows:


Sec.  660.412  EFH identifications and descriptions for Pacific salmon.

    Pacific salmon essential fish habitat (EFH) includes all those 
water bodies occupied or historically accessible in Washington, Oregon, 
Idaho, and California in hydrologic units identified in Table 1 of this 
subpart H. Exceptions include cases in which man-made barriers (dams) 
identified in Table 1 of this subpart H represent the upstream extent 
of Pacific salmon access. EFH also includes the marine and estuarine 
areas shoreward of state boundaries and the Exclusive Economic Zone 
(EEZ) off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington State. To 
clearly identify watersheds that contain EFH, NMFS uses fourth field 
hydrologic unit codes (HUCs) developed by the U.S. Geological Survey 
(USGS) (defined in the Department of the Interior, USGS publication; 
Hydrologic Unit Maps, Water Supply Paper 2294, 1987). The geographic 
extent of HUCs range from first field (largest geographic extent) to 
sixth field (smallest geographic extent). Fourth field HUCs divide the 
landscape into distinct geographic areas that are identified by eight 
numbers unique to that hydrologic unit.
    (a) Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) EFH includes all 
streams, estuaries, marine waters, and other water bodies occupied or 
historically accessible to Chinook salmon in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, 
and California, in hydrologic units identified in Table 1 of this 
subpart H. Exceptions include cases in which man-made barriers (dams) 
identified in Table 1 of this subpart H represent the upstream extent 
of Pacific salmon access. EFH also includes the marine and estuarine 
areas shoreward of state boundaries and the EEZ off the coasts of 
Washington, Oregon, and California north or Point Conception.
    (b) Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) EFH includes all streams, 
estuaries, marine waters, and other water bodies occupied or 
historically accessible to coho in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and 
California, in hydrologic units identified in Table 1 of this subpart 
H. Exceptions include cases in which man-made barriers (dams) 
identified in Table 1 of this subpart H represent the upstream extent 
of Pacific

salmon access. EFH also includes the marine and estuarine areas 
shoreward of state boundaries and the EEZ off the coasts Washington, 
Oregon, and California north of Point Conception.
    (c) Pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) EFH includes all streams, 
estuaries, marine waters, and other water bodies occupied or 
historically accessible to pink salmon within Washington State, in 
hydrologic units identified in Table 1 of this subpart H. Exceptions 
include cases in which man-made barriers (dams) identified in Table 1 
of this subpart H represent the upstream extent of Pacific salmon 
access. EFH also includes waters north and east of Cape Flattery, 
Washington, including Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and 
Strait of Georgia.
