Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of
Critical Habitat for the Bull Trout
[[Continued from page 56260]]

to, activities that are currently authorized, permitted, or funded, or
for which proposed plans are currently available to the public. The
analysis estimates economic effects of activities from 1998 (year of
the proposed rule for listing) through 2024 (20 years from the year of
final critical habitat designation). The time frame for analysis was
selected to emulate a reasonable future period for recovery of the species.
The time frame associated with each activity is important because
as the time horizon for an economic analysis is expanded, the forecast
of future projects becomes increasingly speculative. As a result, with
the exception of hydroelectric and non-hydroelectric projects where
some capital costs are spread over 50 years, this analysis relies
primarily on a time frame of 20 years. The time frame for hydroelectric
and non-hydroelectric projects is longer relative to other activities
analyzed based on the nature of the activity. Whereas geographic and
total projections of population and housing densities within a region
become increasingly speculative over time, the known location and
inevitability of hydroelectric dam re-licensing or other permitting
provides sufficient information to estimate future costs associated
with conservation measures at these facilities.
The Coastal-Puget Sound population represents about 99 percent of
the costs, and these costs are co-extensive with listed salmon. The
reason for this is that listed salmon species overlap with the
geographic area of the Coastal-Puget Sound population of bull trout.
There are no listed species of salmon or steelhead in the Jarbidge
River or Saint Mary-Belly River populations. Also, in cases where there
is an overlap of range between salmon and bull trout, no separation is
made of these joint costs, and they are presented as ``impacts associated
with co-extensive of salmon and bull trout conservation activities.''
For this critical habitat designation, the majority of the cost
burden (about 75 percent) falls on the commercial sector. Based on the
projected development from 2005 to 2024, bull trout conservation
activities are anticipated to increase the total cost of commercial,
residential, and mixed development by $26.2 million annually. Total
prospective costs are $277.2 million applying a 7 percent discount
rate. Other cost leading activities include Federal land management (13
percent), non-hydroelectric projects (11 percent), and hydroelectric
projects (10 percent). In the Puget Sound Unit (Unit 28), costs
associated with residential and commercial development are among the
highest category of costs.
There are 83 watersheds in the Coastal-Puget Sound region that
contain designated critical habitat. Of the 10 watersheds with the
highest costs associated with co-extensive salmon and bull trout
conservation activities, nine are within Unit 28, between the Skagit
River in the north and the Puyallup River in the south, and seven of
these contain significant development costs; not surprisingly, they
encompass highly urbanized areas of Puget Sound. Together, these seven
watersheds represent 48 percent of the total economic impact within
designated critical habitat. Costs in the Middle Green River watershed
are primarily attributable to conservation activities at the Howard
Hansen Dam and the City of Tacoma's water diversion. High costs in the
Baker River watershed are due primarily to the upper and lower Baker
Dam, where significant capitals costs are expected associated with a
fish passage project beginning in 2006. Together, these 10 watersheds
in Coastal-Puget Sound represent 70 percent of the annualized economic
impacts associated with lands designated as critical habitat.
Based on our analysis, we concluded that the designation of
critical habitat for the Jarbidge River, Coastal-Puget Sound, and Saint
Mary-Belly River population segments would not result in a significant
economic impact, and estimated the potential economic effects over a
20-year period would range from approximately $684 million, assuming a
7 percent discount rate, to approximately $1 billion, assuming a 3
percent discount rate. Costs are estimated to be $61.3 million per year.

Clarity of the Rule
Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations and
notices that are easy to understand. We invite your comments on how to
make this final rule easier to understand, including answers to
questions such as the following: (1) Are the requirements in the final
rule clearly stated? (2) Does the final rule contain technical jargon
that interferes with the clarity? (3) Does the format of the final rule
(grouping and order of the sections, use of headings, paragraphing, and
so forth) aid or reduce its clarity? (4) Is the description of the
notice in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of the preamble helpful
in understanding the final rule? (5) What else could we do to make this
final rule easier to understand?

Required Determinations
Regulatory Planning and Review
In accordance with Executive Order 12866, this document is a
significant rule in that it may raise novel legal and policy issues,
but will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or
more or affect the economy in a material way. Due to the tight timeline
for publication in the Federal Register, the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has not formally reviewed this rule. As explained above,
we prepared an economic analysis of this action. We used this analysis
to meet the requirement of section 4(b)(2) of the Act to determine the
economic consequences of designating the specific areas as critical
habitat. We also used it to help determine whether to exclude any area
from critical habitat, as provided for under section 4(b)(2), if we
determine that the benefits of such exclusion outweigh the benefits of
specifying such area as part of the critical habitat, unless we
determine, based on the best scientific and commercial data available,
that the failure to designate such area as critical habitat will result
in the extinction of the species.
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (as amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) of 1996),
whenever an agency is required to publish a notice of rulemaking for
any proposed or final rule, it must prepare and make available for
public comment a regulatory flexibility analysis that describes the
effect of the rule on small entities (i.e., small businesses, small
organizations, and small government jurisdictions). However, no
regulatory flexibility analysis is required if the head of an agency
certifies the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. SBREFA amended the RFA to
[[Page 56262]]
require Federal agencies to provide a statement of factual basis for
certifying that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities. SBREFA also amended the RFA to
require a certification statement.
Small entities include small organizations, such as independent
nonprofit organizations; small governmental jurisdictions, including
school boards and city and town governments that serve fewer than
50,000 residents; and small businesses. Small businesses include
manufacturing and mining concerns with fewer than 500 employees,
wholesale trade entities with fewer than 100 employees, retail and
service businesses with less than $5 million in annual sales, general
and heavy construction businesses with less than $27.5 million in
annual business, special trade contractors doing less than $11.5
million in annual business, and agricultural businesses with annual
sales less than $750,000. To determine if potential economic impacts to
these small entities are significant, we consider the types of
activities that might trigger regulatory impacts under this rule, as
well as the types of project modifications that may result. In general,
the term ``significant economic impact'' is meant to apply to a typical
small business firm's business operations.
To determine if the rule could significantly affect a substantial
number of small entities, we consider the number of small entities
affected within particular types of economic activities (e.g., housing
development, grazing, oil and gas production, timber harvesting). We
apply the ``substantial number'' test individually to each industry to
determine if certification is appropriate. However, SBREFA does not
explicitly define ``substantial number'' or ``significant economic
impact.'' Consequently, to assess whether a ``substantial number'' of
small entities is affected by this designation, this analysis considers
the relative number of small entities likely to be impacted in an area.
In some circumstances, especially with critical habitat designations of
limited extent, we may aggregate across all industries and consider
whether the total number of small entities affected is substantial. In
estimating the number of small entities potentially affected, we also
consider whether their activities have any Federal involvement.
Designation of critical habitat only affects activities conducted,
funded, or permitted by Federal agencies. Some kinds of activities are
unlikely to have any Federal involvement and so will not be affected by
critical habitat designation. In areas where the species is present,
Federal agencies already are required to consult with us under section
7 of the Act on activities they fund, permit, or implement that may
affect bull trout. Federal agencies also must consult with us if their
activities may affect critical habitat. Designation of critical
habitat, therefore, could result in an additional economic impact on
small entities due to the requirement to reinitiate consultation for
ongoing Federal activities.
The Columbia River and Klamath River populations of bull trout were
federally-listed as threatened in June 1998. In fiscal years 1998
through 2002, we conducted 152 formal section 7 consultations and
several hundred informal consultations with other Federal agencies,
mainly the USFS, to ensure that their actions will not jeopardize the
continued existence of the bull trout. Our economic analysis found that
timber management, grazing, dam and reservoir operations, stream
habitat improvement and fisheries restoration, road construction and
maintenance, and flood control projects are the primary activities
anticipated to take place within the area designated as critical
habitat for the bull trout. To be conservative (i.e., more likely to
overstate impacts than understate them), we assumed in our economic
analysis that a unique business entity would undertake each of the
projected consultations in a given year. Therefore, the number of
businesses affected annually is equal to the total annual number of
consultations (both formal and informal).
Based on the economic analysis which looked at the critical habitat
for bull trout, and including consultations on FERC relicensing of
hydroelectric facilities, we estimated that in each year, there could
be approximately 52 formal consultations involving bull trout, and it
is expected that the USFS will constitute about 70 percent of the total
number of formal consultations.
The Jarbidge River, Coastal-Puget Sound, and Saint Mary-Belly River
bull trout populations were federally listed as threatened in April
1999 (Jarbidge River) and November 1999 (Coastal-Puget Sound and St.
Mary-Belly River), respectively. In fiscal years 1998 through 2004, we
conducted 176 formal section 7 consultations and several hundred
informal consultations with other Federal agencies to ensure that their
actions will not jeopardize the continued existence of the bull trout.
Approximately 77 percent of the past consultations have involved the
Corps and FHA. The Corps regulates flood control and damage reduction
efforts, as well as permits dredging and construction activities
affecting waterways under authority provided by the Clean Water Act.
Federal Highway Administration provides funding to many of the road and
bridge projects administered by State departments of transportation.
Projects that may impact streams with listed bull trout can result in a
section 7 consultation with FHA as the action agency.
In general, two different mechanisms in section 7 consultations
could lead to additional regulatory requirements for small businesses
that may be required to consult with us each year regarding their
project's impact on bull trout and its habitat. First, if we conclude,
in a biological opinion, that a proposed action is likely to jeopardize
the continued existence of a species or adversely modify its critical
habitat, we can offer ``reasonable and prudent alternatives.''
Reasonable and prudent alternatives are alternative actions that can be
implemented in a manner consistent with the scope of the Federal
agency's legal authority and jurisdiction, that are economically and
technologically feasible, and that would avoid jeopardizing the
continued existence of listed species or result in adverse modification
of critical habitat. A Federal agency and an applicant may elect to
implement a reasonable and prudent alternative associated with a
biological opinion that has found jeopardy, or adverse modification of
critical habitat. An agency or applicant could alternatively choose to
seek an exemption from the requirements of the Act or proceed without
implementing the reasonable and prudent alternative. However, unless an
exemption were obtained, the Federal agency or applicant would be at
risk of violating section 7(a)(2) of the Act if it chose to proceed
without implementing the reasonable and prudent alternatives.
Second, if we find that a proposed action is not likely to
jeopardize the continued existence of a listed animal or plant species,
we may identify reasonable and prudent measures designed to minimize
the amount or extent of take and require the Federal agency or
applicant to implement such measures through non-discretionary terms
and conditions. We may also identify discretionary conservation
recommendations designed to minimize or avoid the adverse effects of a
proposed action on listed species or critical habitat, help implement
recovery plans, or to develop information that could contribute to the
recovery of the species.
[[Page 56263]]
Based on our experience with consultations pursuant to section 7 of
the Act for all listed species, virtually all projects--including those
in their initial proposed form, would result in jeopardy, or adverse
modification determinations in section 7 consultations--can be
implemented successfully with, at most, the adoption of reasonable and
prudent alternatives. These measures, by definition, must be
economically feasible and within the scope of authority of the Federal
agency involved in the consultation. We can only describe the general
kinds of actions that may be identified in future reasonable and
prudent alternatives. These are based on our understanding of the needs
of the species and the threats it faces, as described in the final
listing rule and this critical habitat designation. Within the final
CHUs, the types of Federal actions or authorized activities that we
have identified as potential concerns are:
(1) Regulation of activities affecting waters of the United States
by the Corps under section 404 of the Clean Water Act;
(2) Regulation of water flows, damming, diversion, and
channelization implemented or licensed by Federal agencies;
(3) Regulation of timber harvest, grazing, mining, and recreation
by the USFS and BLM;
(4) Road construction and maintenance, right-of-way designation,
and regulation of agricultural activities;
(5) Hazard mitigation and post-disaster repairs funded by the FEMA;
and
(6) Activities funded by the Environmental Protection Agency, U.S.
Department of Energy, or any other Federal agency.
It is likely that a developer or other project proponent could
modify a project or implement measures to protect bull trout. The kinds
of actions that may be included if future reasonable and prudent
alternatives become necessary include conservation set-asides,
management of competing nonnative species, restoration of degraded
habitat, and monitoring. These are based on our understanding of the
needs of the species and the threats it faces, as described in the
final listing rule and proposed critical habitat designation. These
measures are not likely to result in a significant economic impact to
project proponents.
In summary, we have considered whether this would result in a
significant economic effect on a substantial number of small entities.
We have determined, for the above reasons and based on currently
available information, that it is not likely to affect a substantial
number of small entities. Federal involvement, and thus section 7
consultations, would be limited to a subset of the area designated. The
most likely Federal involvement could include Corps permits, permits we
may issue under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act, FHA funding for road
improvements, hydropower licenses issued by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, and regulation of timber harvest, grazing,
mining, and recreation by the USFS and BLM. A regulatory flexibility
analysis is not required.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (5 U.S.C 801 et seq.)
Under SBREFA, this rule is not a major rule. Our detailed
assessment of the economic effects of this designation is described in
the economic analysis. Based on the effects identified in the economic
analysis, we believe that this rule will not have an annual effect on
the economy of $100 million or more, will not cause a major increase in
costs or prices for consumers, and will not have significant adverse
effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity,
innovation, or the ability of United States-based enterprises to
compete with foreign-based enterprises. Refer to the final economic
analysis for a discussion of the effects of this determination.
Executive Order 13211
On May 18, 2001, the President issued Executive Order 13211 on
regulations that significantly affect energy supply, distribution, and
use. Executive Order 13211 requires agencies to prepare Statements of
Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. This final rule to
designate critical habitat for the bull trout is not expected to
significantly affect energy supplies, distribution, or use. Therefore,
this action is not a significant energy action and no Statement of
Energy Effects is required.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.)
In accordance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501
et seq.), we make the following findings:
(a) This rule will not produce a Federal mandate. In general, a
Federal mandate is a provision in legislation, statute, or regulation
that would impose an enforceable duty upon State, local, tribal
governments, or the private sector and includes both ``Federal
intergovernmental mandates'' and ``Federal private sector mandates.''
These terms are defined in 2 U.S.C. 658(5)-(7). ``Federal
intergovernmental mandate'' includes a regulation that ``would impose
an enforceable duty upon State, local, or tribal governments'' with two
exceptions: it excludes ``a condition of federal assistance,'' and it
excludes ``a duty arising from participation in a voluntary Federal
program,'' unless the regulation ``relates to a then-existing Federal
program under which $500,000,000 or more is provided annually to State,
local, and tribal governments under entitlement authority,'' if the
provision would ``increase the stringency of conditions of assistance''
or ``place caps upon, or otherwise decrease, the Federal government's
responsibility to provide funding'' and the State, local, or tribal
governments ``lack authority'' to adjust accordingly. At the time of
enactment, these entitlement programs were Medicaid; Aid to Families
with Dependent Children work programs; Child Nutrition; Food Stamps;
Social Services Block Grants; Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants;
Foster Care, Adoption Assistance, and Independent Living; Family
Support Welfare Services; and Child Support Enforcement. ``Federal
private sector mandate'' includes a regulation that ``would impose an
enforceable duty upon the private sector, except (i) a condition of
Federal assistance; or (ii) a duty arising from participation in a
voluntary Federal program.''
The designation of critical habitat does not impose a legally
binding duty on non-Federal government entities or private parties.
Under the Act, the only regulatory effect is that Federal agencies must
ensure that their actions do not destroy or adversely modify critical
habitat under section 7. While non-Federal entities that receive
Federal funding, assistance, permits or that otherwise require approval
or authorization from a Federal agency for an action may be indirectly
impacted by the designation of critical habitat, the legally binding
duty to avoid destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat
rests squarely on the Federal agency. Furthermore, to the extent that
non-Federal entities are indirectly impacted because they receive
Federal assistance or participate in a voluntary Federal aid program,
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act would not apply; nor would critical
habitat shift the costs of the large entitlement programs listed above
on to State governments.
(b) We do not believe that this rule will significantly or uniquely
affect small governments because it will not produce a Federal mandate
of $100 million or greater in any year that is, it is not a
``significant regulatory action''
[[Page 56264]]
under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. The designation of critical
habitat imposes no obligations on State or local governments. As such,
Small Government Agency Plan is not required.
Takings
In accordance with Executive Order 12630, this rule does not have
significant takings implications. Therefore, a takings implication
assessment is not required. The designation of critical habitat affects
only Federal agency actions. The rule will not increase or decrease the
current restrictions on private property concerning take of the bull
trout. Due to current public knowledge of the species' protection as a
result of it being listed under the Act, the prohibition against take
of the species both within and outside of the designated areas, and the
fact that critical habitat provides no incremental restrictions, we do
not anticipate that property values will be affected by the critical
habitat designation. While real estate market values may temporarily
decline following designation due to the perception that critical
habitat designation may impose additional regulatory burdens on land
use, we expect any such impacts to be short term. Additionally,
critical habitat designation does not preclude development of HCPs and
issuances of incidental take permits. Owners of areas that are included
in the designated critical habitat will continue to have opportunity to
use their property in ways consistent with the survival and
conservation of the bull trout.
Federalism
In accordance with Executive Order 13132, the rule does not have
significant Federalism effects. A Federalism assessment is not
required. In keeping with Department of the Interior and Department of
Commerce policy, we requested information from, and coordinated
development of, this critical habitat designation with appropriate
State resource agencies in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and
Nevada. The designation of critical habitat in areas currently occupied
by the bull trout imposes no additional restrictions to those currently
in place and, therefore, has little incremental impact on State and
local governments and their activities. The designation may have some
benefit to these governments in that the areas essential to the
conservation of the species are more clearly defined, and the PCEs of
the habitat necessary to the survival of the species are specifically
identified. While making this definition and identification does not
alter where and what federally sponsored activities may occur, it may
assist these local governments in long-range planning (rather than
encouraging these governments to simply wait for case-by-case section 7
consultations to occur).
Civil Justice Reform
In accordance with Executive Order 12988, the Office of the
Solicitor has determined that this rule does not unduly burden the
judicial system and that it meets the requirements of sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of the Order. We have designated critical habitat in accordance
with the provisions of the Endangered Species Act. This final rule uses
standard property descriptions and identifies the PCEs within the
designated areas to assist the public in understanding the habitat
needs of the bull trout.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
This rule does not contain any new collections of information that
require approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule
will not impose recordkeeping or reporting requirements on State or
local governments, individuals, businesses, or organizations. An agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
National Environmental Policy Act
Outside the Tenth Circuit Court, we do not need to prepare
environmental analyses as defined by NEPA in connection with
designating critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended. We published a notice outlining our reasons for this
determination in the Federal Register on October 25, 1983 (48 FR
49244). This assertion was upheld in the courts of the Ninth Circuit
(Douglas County v. Babbitt, 48 F.3d 1495 (9th Cir. Ore. 1995), cert.
denied 116 S. Ct. 698 (1996)).
Government-to-Government Relationship with Tribes
In accordance with the President's memorandum of April 29, 1994,
``Government-to-Government Relations with Native American Tribal
Governments'' (59 FR 22951), Executive Order 13175, and the Department
of Interior's manual at 512 DM 2, we readily acknowledge our
responsibility to communicate meaningfully with recognized Federal
tribes on a government-to-government basis.
During our development of this critical habitat designation for the
Columbia River and Klamath River populations of bull trout, we
evaluated tribal lands to determine if they contain features are
essential to the conservation of the species. We have designated
critical habitat for portions of Ahtanum Creek, North Fork Ahtanum
Creek, South Fork Ahtanum Creek, Yakima River, Clearwater Creek, Fish
Lake Stream, unnamed tributary to Fish Lake Stream, Little Muddy Creek,
Trappers Creek, Two Lakes Stream, West Fork Klickitat River, and
Klickitat River within or adjacent to the Yakama Indian Reservation;
the Umatilla River, Meacham Creek, and Squaw Creek within the Umatilla
Reservation; Lake Coeur d'Alene within the Coeur d'Alene Reservation; a
portion of the Columbia River adjacent to the Colville Indian
Reservation; the Pend Oreille River and Calispell Creek within the
Kalispell Indian Reservation; portions of Clearwater River, Middle Fork
Clearwater River, North Fork Clearwater River, and South Fork
Clearwater River, Lolo Creek, Clear Creek, and Dworshak Reservoir
within or adjacent to the Nez Perce Indian Reservation; and portions of
Dry Creek, Flathead Lake, the lower Flathead River, Jocko River,
McDonald Lake, Middle Fork Jocko River, Mission Creek, Mission
Reservoir, North Fork Jocko River, Post Creek, Saint Mary's Lake, and
South Fork Jocko River on the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes
(CSKT) lands on the Flathead Indian Reservation.
Currently, the Yakama Nation, Coeur d'Alene, Kalispell, Nez Perce,
CSKT, and Umatilla Tribes do not have resource management plans that
provide protection or conservation for the bull trout and its habitat.
The CSKT have a resource management plan addressing bull trout
conservation that is being applied in the Jocko River watershed.
However, as a result of our meetings with the Tribes on September 26,
2002, we mutually agreed to include habitat within the Jocko River
watershed in this rule designating critical habitat.
We held government-to-government consultations with the
Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon (CTWS) to
discuss their policy and position regarding the proposal. At these
meetings, the CTWS provided us with documents pertaining to the Tribe's
conservation activities which benefit the bull trout. These documents
include their IRMP I and II, Water Code, Water Quality Standards,
Implementation Plan for Water Quality, Water Resources Inventory,
Streamside Management Plan, Field Guide to IRMP Standards and Best
Management
[[Page 56265]]
Practices. They also provided us with information on specific actions
they have taken that benefit the bull trout.
During our development of this critical habitat designation for the
Jarbidge River, Coastal-Puget Sound, and Saint Mary-Belly River bull
trout populations, we evaluated tribal lands to determine if they
contain features that are essential to the conservation of the species.
There are no tribal lands designated as critical habitat within the
Jarbidge River population area. Within the Saint Mary-Belly River
population, there are no tribal lands designated as critical habitat.
Within the Coastal-Puget Sound population, we have designated critical
habitat for portions of the Nooksack River and Puget Sound nearshore
adjacent to the Lummi Indian Reservation; portion of the Nooksack River
adjacent to the Nooksack Indian Reservation; portion of the Sauk River
adjacent to the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Reservation; portions of the
Snohomish River, and Puget Sound nearshore within or adjacent to the
Tulalip Indian Reservation; portions of the Puyallup River and Puget
Sound nearshore within or adjacent to the Puyallup Indian Reservation;
portions of the Nisqually River within or adjacent to the Nisqually
Indian Reservation; portions of the Elwha River and the Strait of Juan
de Fuca nearshore within or adjacent to the Lower Elwha S'Klallam
Indian Reservation; and a portion of the Chehalis River within or
adjacent to the Chehalis Indian Reservation. Approximately 18 mi (29
km) of stream segments, 60 mi (96 km) of marine shoreline, and 962 ac
(389 ha) on or adjacent to tribal lands are included in our critical
habitat designation, and approximately 79 mi (127 km) of stream
segments and 56 mi (90 km) of marine shoreline on or adjacent to tribal
lands are excluded.
We will continue to work closely with tribes to manage essential
features of bull trout habitat. We are committed to maintaining a
positive working relationship with all of the tribes, and will work
with them on developing resource management plans for tribal lands that
include conservation measures for bull trout. We were required to
prepare this critical habitat designation based on our analysis of
whether habitat within these tribal reservation lands contain features
essential to the conservation of the species and may require special
management considerations or protection. Please refer to the Tribal
Lands section under the Section 3(5)(A) and Exclusions Under Section
4(b)(2) of the Act for a more detailed discussion.

the ordinary high-water line. In areas where ordinary high-water line
has not been defined, the lateral extent will be defined by the
bankfull elevation. Bankfull elevation is the level at which water
begins to leave the channel and move into the floodplain and is reached
at a discharge that generally has a recurrence interval of 1 to 2 years
on the annual flood series. Critical habitat includes the stream
channels within the designated stream reaches, and includes a lateral
extent from the bankfull elevation on one bank to the bankfull
elevation on the opposite bank. Bankfull elevation is the level at
which water begins to leave the channel and move into the floodplain
and is reached at a discharge that generally has a recurrence interval
of 1 to 2 years on the annual flood series. If bankfull elevation is
not evident on either bank, the ordinary high-water line must be used
to determine the lateral extent of critical habitat. The lateral extent
of designated lakes is defined by the perimeter of the water body as
mapped on standard 1:24,000 scale topographic maps.
(ii) Critical habitat includes the inshore extent of critical
habitat for marine nearshore areas (the MHHW line), including tidally
influenced freshwater heads of estuaries. This refers to the average of
all the higher high-water heights of the two daily tidal levels.
Adjacent shoreline riparian areas, bluffs, and uplands are not
designated as critical habitat. However, it should be recognized that
the quality of marine habitat along shorelines is intrinsically related
to the character of these adjacent features, and human activities that
occur outside of the MHHW line can have major effects on physical and
biological features of the marine environment. The offshore
[[Page 56266]]
extent of critical habitat for marine nearshore areas is based on the
extent of the photic zone, which is the layer of water in which
organisms are exposed to light. Critical habitat extends offshore to
the depth of 33 ft (10 m) relative to the mean low low-water line
(MLLW) (average of all the lower low-water heights of the two daily
tidal levels). This equates to the average depth of the photic zone and
is consistent with the offshore extent of the nearshore habitat
identified under the ``Notice of Change to the Nation's Tidal Datums
With the Adoption of a New National Tidal Datum Epoch Period of 1983
Through 2001''. This area between MHHW and minus 10 MLLW is considered
the habitat most consistently used by bull trout in marine waters based
on known use, forage fish availability, and ongoing migration studies,
and captures geological and ecological processes important to
maintaining these habitats. This area contains essential foraging
habitat and migration corridors such as estuaries, bays, inlets,
shallow subtidal areas, and intertidal flats.
(3) Primary constituent elements needed for bull trout survival.
Within the designated critical habitat areas, the primary constituent
elements (PCEs) for bull trout are those habitat components that are
essential for the primary biological needs of foraging, reproducing,
rearing of young, dispersal, genetic exchange, or sheltering. Note that
only the PCEs described in paragraphs (e)(3)(i), (vi), (vii), and
(viii) apply to marine nearshore waters identified as critical habitat.
The PCEs are as follows:
(i) Water temperatures that support bull trout use. Bull trout have
been documented in streams with temperatures from 32 to 72 [deg]F (0 to
22 [deg]C) but are found more frequently in temperatures ranging from
36 to 59 [deg]F (2 to 15 [deg]C). These temperature ranges may vary
depending on bull trout life-history stage and form, geography,
elevation, diurnal and seasonal variation, shade, such as that provided
by riparian habitat, and local groundwater influence. Stream reaches
with temperatures that preclude bull trout use are specifically
excluded from designation;
(ii) Complex stream channels with features such as woody debris,
side channels, pools, and undercut banks to provide a variety of
depths, velocities, and instream structures;
(iii) Substrates of sufficient amount, size, and composition to
ensure success of egg and embryo overwinter survival, fry emergence,
and young-of-the-year and juvenile survival. This should include a
minimal amount of fine substrate less than 0.25 inch (0.63 centimeter)
in diameter.
(iv) A natural hydrograph, including peak, high, low, and base
flows within historic ranges or, if regulated, currently operate under
a biological opinion that addresses bull trout, or a hydrograph that
demonstrates the ability to support bull trout populations by
minimizing daily and day-to-day fluctuations and minimizing departures
from the natural cycle of flow levels corresponding with seasonal
variation: This rule finds that reservoirs currently operating under a
biological opinion that addresses bull trout provides management for
PCEs as currently operated;
(v) Springs, seeps, groundwater sources, and subsurface water to
contribute to water quality and quantity as a cold water source;
(vi) Migratory corridors with minimal physical, biological, or
water quality impediments between spawning, rearing, overwintering, and
foraging habitats, including intermittent or seasonal barriers induced
by high water temperatures or low flows;
(vii) An abundant food base including terrestrial organisms of
riparian origin, aquatic macroinvertebrates, and forage fish; and
(viii) Permanent water of sufficient quantity and quality such that
normal reproduction, growth, and survival are not inhibited.
(4) Exclusions from the critical habitat designation. Certain
geographic areas are excluded from the critical habitat designation as
described below in this paragraph (4).
(i) 3(5)(A) and Exclusions under section 4(b)(2) of the Act. (A)
Habitat conservation plans. We are excluding from the critical habitat
designation any non-Federal lands covered by an incidental take permit
for bull trout issued under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act on or before
September 26, 2005, as long as such permit, or a conservation easement
providing comparable conservation benefits, remains legally operative
on such lands. These excluded areas are covered by habitat conservation
plans (HCPs). They include lands and waters covered by the Washington
Department of Natural Resources HCP, the Plum Creek Native Fish HCP/
Stimson Lumber Company HCP, the Tacoma Water Green River HCP, the Green
Diamond Resources Company HCP, and the City of Seattle Cedar River
Watershed HCP.
