Description:On March 14, 2008, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) issued a final environmental assessment (EA) and finding of no significant impact (FONSI) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in connection with its authorization to reduce seal and sea lion (pinniped) predation below Bonneville Dam in the lower Columbia River on salmon and steelhead (salmonids) listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). On November 23, 2010, the Ninth Circuit instructed the district court to vacate NMFS’ authorization and remand the decision to NMFS for further explanation. NMFS intends to issue a revised authorization with the additional explanation required by the court. The purpose of this supplemental information report (report) is to determine whether there is a need for supplemental NEPA analysis based on any changes in the proposed action, any significant new circumstances, or any significant new information that are relevant to environmental concerns and bear on the proposed action or its impacts.
