• Description:
  NMFS proposes to designate and authorize the release of a nonessential experimental population (NEP) of Upper Columbia River (UCR) spring-run Chinook salmon (Onchorhynchus tshawytscha) under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act in the Okanogan River subbasin, and to establish a limited set of take prohibitions for the NEP. The Proposed Action supports the reintroduction and reestablishment of a self-sustaining population of UCR spring-run Chinook salmon in the Okanogan River subbasin, and would contribute to the recovery of UCR spring-run Chinook salmon and to the overall recovery goals provided in Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board's 2007 recovery plan for UCR spring-run Chinook salmon.
