Title: Endangered and Threatened Species: Designation of Critical Habitat for Threatened Lower Columbia River Coho Salmon and Puget Sound Steelhead 
Abstract: We, the National Marine Fisheries Service, are proposing critical habitat designations for lower Columbia River coho salmon and Puget Sound steelhead, currently listed as threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. The areas under consideration include watersheds in the lower Columbia River basin in southwest Washington and northwest Oregon, as well as watersheds in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Washington. This rulemaking identifies the areas proposed for designation and solicits comments regarding them as well as the supporting economic, biological, and policy analyses.
