SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 18, 1995 (60 FR 19388), NMFS 
published a notice of availability of the Proposed Recovery Plan for 
Snake River salmon protected by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). 
Public comments were solicited, 11 public hearings were announced, and 
the comment period was set to expire on July 17, 1995. Further 
opportunity for public input was subsequently requested (60 FR 26720, 
May 18, 1995), and additional public hearings were conducted in Idaho 
Falls, ID on June 21, 1995, and in Spokane, WA, on June 29, 1995.
    NMFS is keenly aware of the public interest in salmon recovery. 
This notice reopens the public comment period until November 17, 1995. 
An estimate of the direct costs of Proposed Recovery Plan tasks, and a 
description of the time required to carry out those tasks will be 
available this fall, during the public comment period, as an addendum 
to the Proposed Recovery Plan. Copies will be mailed to everyone who 
received the Proposed Recovery Plan. Notice of the availability of this 
addendum and its comment period are expected to be published in the 
Federal Register in October.
