Abstract:
This is a request for extension of an 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). On July 10, 2000, NMFS adopted a rule prohibiting the take of 14 groups of salmon and steelhead listed as threatened under the ESA (65 FR 42422, 50 CFR 223.203). On June 28, 2005, January 5, 2006, February 11, 2008, and September 25, 2008 NMFS issued final listing determinations and protective regulations for 26 threatened and endangered salmon and steelhead species (70 FR 37160, 71 FR 834, 73 FR 7816, 73 FR 55451). The protective regulations extended the 4(d) rule to all 23 threatened salmonid species.

Short Statement:
Recent merger of the Southwest and Northwest Regions prompted a comprehensive re-assessment of how the 4(d) rules are being used. The Northwest Region maintains this collection and did not previously include the Southwest region in the assessment, hence a significant increase in burden. There were initially only 3 ICs listed. However, the ICs were not aggregated correctly and did not include the Southwest Region. Therefore, the 3 initial ICs are removed and additional, more comprehensive ICs have been added.
