Fisheries Off West Coast States; West 

Coast Salmon Fisheries; Amendment 

18 to the Salmon Fishery Management 

Plan 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues a final rule 

under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (MSA) to implement 

Amendment 18 to the Pacific Coast 

Salmon Fishery Management Plan for 

Commercial and Recreational Salmon 

Fisheries off the Coasts of Washington, 

Oregon, and California (FMP). 

Amendment 18 revises the description 

and identification of essential fish 

habitat (EFH) for Pacific salmon 

managed under the FMP, designates 

habitat areas of particular concern 

(HAPCs), updates information on 

fishing activities, and updates the list of 

non-fishing related activities that may 

adversely affect EFH and potential 

conservation and enhancement 

measures to minimize those effects. 

NMFS approved Amendment 18 on 

September 12, 2014. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

January 20, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: This final rule is accessible 

on the Web site of NMFS’ West Coast 

Region (http://

www.westcoast.fisheries.noaa.gov). The 

current FMP, through Amendment 18, is 

available on the Pacific Fishery 

Management Council’s Web site 

(http://www.pcouncil.org/). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Peggy Mundy at 206–526–4323. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Pacific Fishery Management Council 

(Council) developed Amendment 18 in 

compliance with the MSA’s requirement 

to periodically review EFH provisions, 

and to revise or amend those provisions, 

as warranted, based on available 

information (50 CFR 600.815(a)(10)). 

The Council took final action on 

Amendment 18 in September 2013 and 

transmitted the amendment to NMFS on 

June 10, 2014. Alternatives considered 

in the development of Amendment 18 

were analyzed in a draft Environmental 

Assessment (EA). NMFS published a 

notice of availability of Amendment 18 

in the Federal Register (79 FR 34272, 

June 16, 2014) to notify the public of the 

availability of the amendment and draft 

EA, and invite comments. NMFS 

published a proposed rule in the 

Federal Register (79 FR 56547, 

September 22, 2014) to notify the public 

and invite comments. NMFS received 

no comments in response to either the 

notice of availability or the proposed 

rule. 

Amendment 18 revises the 

description and identification of EFH 

for Pacific salmon managed under the 

FMP, designates HAPCs, updates the 

current information on fishing activities, 

and updates the list of non-fishing 

related activities that may adversely 

affect EFH and potential conservation 

and enhancement measures to minimize 

those effects. The details of Amendment 

18 were described in the proposed rule 

(79 FR 56547, September 22, 2014) and 

are not repeated here. This final rule 

identifies changes to the regulations 

under 50 CFR 660 subpart H to 

implement Amendment 18 and 

describes changes made from the 

proposed rule. 

Response to Comments 

NMFS received no comments on the 

proposed rule. The Department of the 

Interior submitted a letter stating that 

they had no comments.

75450 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 243 / Thursday, December 18, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

Changes From Proposed Rule 

This final rule includes changes to the 

existing regulations at 50 CFR 660.412 

to implement Amendment 18. These are 

largely unchanged from the proposed 

rule; those that have changed from the 

proposed rule are described below. 

Table 1 to Subpart H of Part 660 

Three table cells that were 

inadvertently left blank in the proposed 

rule have been corrected to identify EFH 

designations in hydrologic units 

17100207, 17110012, and 17110016. 

Classification 

Pursuant to section 304(b)(1)(A) of the 

MSA, the NMFS Assistant 

Administrator has determined that this 

final rule is consistent with Amendment 

18, the Pacific Salmon Fishery 

Management Plan, the MSA, and other 

applicable law. 

This final rule has been determined to 

be not significant for purposes of 

Executive Order 12866. 

An EA has been prepared for 

Amendment 18; a copy of the EA is 

available online at http://

www.pcouncil.org/. The EA includes a 

regulatory impact review (RIR) prepared 

by NMFS. 

The Chief Counsel for Regulation of 

the Department of Commerce certified 

to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the 

Small Business Administration, at the 

proposed rule stage, that this rule would 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. No comments were received on 

this certification, and no new 

information has been received 

concerning the economic impact of this 

rule. As a result, no Final Regulatory 

Flexibility Analysis is required, and 

none has been prepared. NMFS will 

conduct the appropriate analyses for 

any subsequent rulemakings stemming 

from this final rule. 

This final rule would not establish 

any new reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements. This final rule does not 

include a collection of information. No 

Federal rules have been identified that 

duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this 

action. 

This action is not expected to have 

adverse effects on any ESA-listed 

species or critical habitat. As described 

in the EA for Amendment 18, this action 

may have minimal effects on ESA-listed 

species in freshwater areas where EFH 

designations would change slightly 

under the preferred alternative. NMFS 

has consulted with itself under ESA 

section 7 and prepared a memo 

concluding that implementation of the 

preferred alternative is not likely to 

adversely affect any listed species or 

critical habitat. 

This final rule was developed after 

meaningful collaboration with the 

affected tribes, through the PFMC 

process. Under the MSA at 16 U.S.C. 

1852(b)(5), one of the voting members of 

the PFMC must be a representative of an 

Indian Tribe with Federally recognized 

fishing rights from the area of the 

PFMC’s jurisdiction.

For the reasons set out in the 

preamble, NMFS amends 50 CFR part 

660 as follows: 

PART 660—FISHERIES OFF WEST 

COAST STATES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 660 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. et seq. and 16 U.S.C. 

773 et seq. 

■ 2. Section 660.412 is revised to read 

as follows: 

§ 660.412 EFH identifications and 

descriptions for Pacific salmon. 

Essential fish habitat (EFH) is 

identified for anadromous Pacific 

salmon stocks managed by the Pacific 

Fishery Management Council (PFMC) 

under the Pacific Coast Salmon Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP). These 

managed salmon include most of the 

Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus 

tshawytscha) stocks and all of the coho 

salmon (O. kisutch) stocks from 

Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and 

California; as well as pink salmon (O. 

gorbuscha) stocks originating from 

watersheds within Puget Sound east of, 

and including, the Elwha River. The 

geographic extent of freshwater EFH is 

specifically identified in the FMP as all 

water bodies currently or historically 

occupied by PFMC-managed salmon in 

Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and 

California; including aquatic areas 

above all artificial barriers that are not 

specifically excluded. Freshwater EFH, 

identified in Table 1 of this subpart H, 

is described using fourth field 

hydrologic unit codes developed by the 

U.S. Geological Survey (defined in U.S. 

Geological Survey and U.S. Department 

of Agriculture, Natural Resources 

Conservation Service: Federal 

guidelines, requirements, and 

procedures for the national Watershed 

Boundary Dataset: U.S. Geological 

Survey Techniques and Methods 11–A3, 

2009). Table 1 also identifies the dams 

that represent the upstream extent of 

EFH in each hydrologic unit. 

(a) Chinook salmon EFH includes all 

water bodies currently or historically 

occupied by PFMC-managed Chinook 

salmon in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, 

and California as identified in Table 1 

of this subpart. Chinook salmon EFH 

also includes the estuarine and marine 

areas extending from the extreme high 

tide line in nearshore and tidal 

submerged environments within state 

territorial waters out to the full extent of 

the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) (200 

nautical miles) offshore of Washington, 

Oregon, and California north of Point 

Conception; and the marine areas of 

Alaska that are designated as Chinook 

salmon EFH by the North Pacific 

Fishery Management Council (NPFMC), 

for stocks that are also managed by the 

PFMC. 

(b) Coho salmon EFH includes all 

water bodies currently or historically 

occupied by PFMC-managed coho 

salmon in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, 

and California as identified in Table 1 

of this subpart. Coho salmon EFH also 

includes the estuarine and marine areas 

extending from the extreme high tide 

line in nearshore and tidal submerged 

environments within state territorial 

waters out to the full extent of the EEZ 

(200 nautical miles) offshore of 

Washington, Oregon, and California 

north of Point Conception; and the 

marine areas of Alaska that are 

designated as coho salmon EFH by the 

NPFMC, for stocks that are also 

managed by the PFMC. 

(c) Puget Sound pink salmon EFH 

includes all water bodies currently or 

historically occupied by PFMC-managed 

Puget Sound pink salmon in 

Washington State as identified in Table 

1 of this subpart. Puget Sound pink 

salmon EFH also includes the estuarine 

and marine areas extending from the 

extreme high tide line in nearshore and 

tidal submerged environments within 

state territorial waters north and east of 

Cape Flattery, Washington, including 

Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca 

and Strait of Georgia; the waters of the 

U.S. EEZ north of 48° N latitude to the 

U.S.-Canada border; and marine areas of 

Alaska that are designated as pink 

salmon EFH by the NPFMC, for stocks 

that are also managed by the PFMC.

1 Cougar Dam is a barrier to coho salmon only. Chinook salmon are trapped and hauled above the dam. 

2Big Cliff Dam is a barrier to coho salmon only. Chinook salmon are trapped and hauled above the dam. 

3 Capay Dam was selected as the upstream extent of EFH because it was identified as a complete barrier by NMFS biologists and is located 

in the vicinity of the historical upstream extent of Chinook salmon distribution. 4 Natural ‘‘lower falls’’ are downstream of any artificial barriers that would meet the criteria for designating them as the upstream extent of EFH; 

therefore, the upstream extent of EFH within this HU is at the ‘‘lower falls’’. 5EFH for Chinook salmon in the Middle San Joaquin-Lower Chowchilla HU (18040001) and Lower San Joaquin River HU (18040002) includes 

the San Joaquin River, its eastern tributaries, and the lower reaches of the western tributaries. Although there is no evidence of current or historical Chinook salmon distribution in the western tributaries (Yoshiyama et al. 2001), the lower reaches of these tributaries could provide juvenile 

rearing habitat or refugia from high flows during floods as salmon migrate along the mainstem in this area. 6EFH for coho salmon in the Monterey Bay HU does not include the sections south of the Pajaro HU (18060002).
