NOAA seeks comments on information collection for limits on salmonid take prohibitions
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
NOAA is asking for public comments before renewing an existing information collection tied to Endangered Species Act rules for threatened west coast salmon and steelhead populations. The collection supports rules that limit when the usual ban on harming, capturing, or killing protected fish applies. The notice matters mainly to state and local agencies, tribes, landowners, fisheries, developers, utilities, and others whose activities may affect threatened salmonid habitats in California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Comments are due by August 3, 2026, and should refer to OMB Control Number 0648-0399.
