Endangered and Threatened Species; Take of Anadromous Fish
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce.
ACTION: NMFS is notifying the public of the issuance of a permit for
implementation of the Rescue and Rearing Management Plan (RRMP) for
Petaluma River Steelhead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that NMFS has issued a permit pursuant
to Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for the
implementation of the RRMP by the United Anglers of Casa Grande (UACG).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ESA-Listed Species Covered in This Notice
<bullet> Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss)--Central California Coast
(CCC) distinct population segment (DPS)
Discussion of the Biological Analysis Underlying Permit Issuance
NMFS has issued a permit for UACG to implement the RRMP, which is
intended to increase adult CCC steelhead DPS abundance in the Petaluma
River Watershed. Fish rearing will occur at the UACG Hatchery and will
be run by Casa Grande High School located in Petaluma, California. The
RRMP has two main components: (1) Rescue and translocate wild steelhead
from drying stream reaches; and (2) captively rear wild fry at the UACG
Hatchery to be released as smolts into natal tributaries. There is no
spawning of steelhead at the Hatchery. These management actions should
result in higher survival rates; thereby increasing the abundance of
the population over time.
The program uses natural-origin fish, and the permit for this
program is issued under ESA section 10(a)(1)(A). Description of the
programs was provided in the RRMP submitted by the UACG. NMFS has
analyzed the effects of the RRMP on CCC DPS steelhead listed under the
ESA, and has concluded that the program is not likely to jeopardize the
continued existence of CCC steelhead or destroy or adversely modify its
designated critical habitat. Authorization of the activities is
contingent upon implementation of all of the monitoring, evaluation,
reporting tasks or assignments, and enforcement activities included in
the permit.
Summary of Comments Received on the RRMP
NMFS made the permit application available for public comment on
February 16, 2022 (87 FR 8787) for 30 days, as required by the ESA. No
comments were received.
