ACTION:

SUMMARY:

On May 7, 2010, we, NMFS, extended the public comment period for the Draft Recovery Plan for Central California Coast coho salmon (Draft Plan). In the ADDRESSES portion of the Federal Register notice, we incorrectly requested that the subject line of e-mail comments use the following identifier: Comments on Central Valley Salmon and Steelhead Draft Plan. We should have requested that the subject line of e-mail comments use the following identifier: Comments on CCC Coho Draft Plan. This document corrects that notice.

DATES:

Information and comments on the subject action must be received by July 6, 2010.

Background

On March 18, 2010, we published a Notice of Availability of the Draft Central California Coast coho salmon Recovery Plan (Draft Plan) for public review and comment (75 FR 13081). The Draft Plan addresses the Central California Coast coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU). NMFS is soliciting review and comment from the public and all interested parties on the Draft Plan. As part of that proposal, we provided a 60-day comment period, ending on May 17, 2010. Public meetings were held in Fort Bragg, CA, on March 31, 2010, in Santa Cruz, CA, on April 8, and in Santa Rosa, CA on April 9, 2010. We received requests for an extension of the public comment period. In response to these requests, we extended the comment period for the proposed action to July 6, 2010 (75 FR 25204).

Information and comments must be received by July 6, 2010.
