DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Fish and Wildlife Service
Notice To Extend the Public Comment Period for the Draft Recovery
Plan for Three of the Five Distinct Population Segments of Bull Trout
(Salvelinus confluentus)
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of extension of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, give
notice that the comment period announced in the November 29, 2002,
(67 FR 74139) Notice of Availability of 25 chapters of the Draft
Recovery Plan for Three of the Five Distinct Population Segments of
the Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) will be extended an
additional 30 days until March 29, 2003. Substantial public interest
in the draft recovery plan led us to distribute additional copies and
to provide additional opportunities for the public to comment on the
plan.
Bull trout are char which are native to the Pacific northwest and
western Canada. We identified five distinct population segments of
bull trout in five States (Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and
Washington), and listed the fish under the Endangered Species Act
(Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) by distinct population segments during
1998 and 1999. The final listing resulted in all bull trout in the
coterminous United States being listed as threatened. At this time,
the draft recovery plan addresses three of the five distinct
population segments, the Klamath, Columbia, and St. Mary-Belly
Rivers. Draft recovery plan chapters for the remaining distinct
population segments will become available for public review in
approximately 1 year.
Because bull trout in the coterminous United States are widely
distributed within a large area, the recovery plan is organized into
multiple chapters. The introductory chapter (Chapter 1) discusses
programmatic issues that broadly apply to bull trout in the
coterminous United States. This chapter describes our range-wide
recovery strategy for bull trout and identifies recovery tasks
applicable to bull trout in general. Each following chapter focuses
on bull trout in specific areas (i.e., recovery units), and describes
habitat conditions, defines recovery objectives and criteria, and
identifies specific recovery tasks for a particular recovery unit. We
have identified 27 recovery units in the 5 distinct population
segments of bull trout. This notice of extension of public comment
period concerns the introductory chapter (Chapter 1) and the 24
recovery unit chapters within the 3 distinct population segments
mentioned above.
DATES: We will consider comments on the 25 chapters of the draft
recovery plan for bull trout received on or before March 29, 2003.
