SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Section 4(d) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et. seq.) requires the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to
adopt such regulations as it ‘‘deems
necessary and advisable to provide for
the conservation of’’ threatened species.
Those regulations may include any or
all of the prohibitions provided in
section 9(a)(1) of the ESA, which
specifically prohibits ‘‘take’’ of any
endangered species (‘‘take’’ includes

actions that harass, harm, pursue, kill,
or capture). The first salmonid species
listed by NMFS as threatened were
protected by virtually blanket
application of the section 9 take
prohibitions. There are now 23 separate
Distinct Population Segments (DPS) of
west coast salmonids listed as
threatened, covering a large percentage
of the land base in California, Oregon,
Washington, and Idaho. NMFS is
obligated to enact necessary and
advisable protective regulations. NMFS
makes section 9 prohibitions generally
applicable to many of those threatened
DPS, but also seeks to respond to
requests from states and others to both
provide more guidance on how to
protect threatened salmonids and avoid
take, and to limit the application of take
prohibitions wherever warranted (see 70
FR 37160, June 28, 2005, 71 FR 834,
January 5, 2006, and 73 FR 55451,
September 25, 2008). The regulations
describe programs or circumstances that
contribute to the conservation of, or are
being conducted in a way that limits
impacts on, listed salmonids. Because
we have determined that such
programs/circumstances adequately
protect listed salmonids, the regulations
do not apply the ‘‘take’’ prohibitions to
them. Some of these limits on the take
prohibitions entail voluntary
submission of a plan to NMFS and/or
annual or occasional reports by entities
wishing to take advantage of these
limits, or continue within them.
The currently approved application
and reporting requirements apply to
Pacific marine and anadromous fish
species.
