{"abstract":"Notice is hereby given of the availability of a draft EA for NMFS' June 2004 proposed amendments to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) protective regulations for West Coast threatened salmon and steelhead (Oncorhynchus spp.) The ESA protective regulations provide for \"limits\" on ESA prohibitions for specified categories of activities determined to contribute to conserving listed salmonids. The draft EA analyzes the impacts of: (1) revising and simplifying existing protective regulations so that all threatened West Coast salmon and steelhead are subject to the same limits, and (2) revising the current protective regulations so that the section 9 take prohibitions do not apply to adipose-fin-clipped hatchery fish and resident O. mykiss (rainbow trout). NMFS is furnishing this notification to allow other agencies and the public an opportunity to review and comment on the draft EA. All comments received will become part of the public record and will be available for review.","action":"Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) and Request for Comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","id":361,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/361","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2004/11/15/04-25313.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"69 FR 65582","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2004-12-15","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"All comments on the draft EA must be received no later than 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on December 15, 2004.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["I.D. 052104F"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"04-25313","effective_on":null,"end_page":65583,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2004/11/15/04-25313.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/11/15/04-25313/endangered-and-threatened-species-take-of-threatened-west-coast-salmonids","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/04-25313?publication_date=2004-11-15","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2004-11-15/04-25313/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":11,"last_updated":"2026-09-20 20:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-11-15/pdf/04-25313.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2004-11-15","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2004/11/15/04-25313.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T14:08:15Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":65582,"subtype":null,"title":"Endangered and Threatened Species: Take of Threatened West Coast Salmonids","toc_doc":"West Coast threatened salmon and steelhead","toc_subject":"Environmental statements; availability, etc.:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":69}
