ACTION: Notice of availability; extension of public comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS is announcing the availability of the Direct Budgetary 
Cost Addendum (Addendum) to its Proposed Recovery Plan for Snake River 
Salmon (Proposed Recovery Plan); the Addendum provides more complete 
estimates of the direct cost to the Federal Government and a better 
description of the time required to implement the Proposed Recovery 
Plan. To provide the public with the opportunity to comment on this 
Addendum and the Proposed Recovery Plan, NMFS is extending the public 
comment period.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 11, 1995. NMFS 
will accept all comments on the Proposed Recovery Plan, including the 
Direct Cost Addendum, submitted between April 18, 1995, and December 
11, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments and information regarding the Proposed Recovery 
Plan and the Addendum, as well as requests for copies of these 
documents, should be submitted to Snake River Salmon Recovery Plan, 
National Marine Fisheries Service, 525 NE Oregon Street, Suite 500, 
Portland, OR 97232.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 18, 1995 (60 FR 19388), NMFS 
published a notice of availability of the Proposed Recovery Plan for 
Snake River Salmon listed under the Endangered Species Act and 
announced that the public comment period would close on July 17, 1995. 
NMFS also announced its intention to provide more complete cost 
estimates of the Proposed Recovery Plan tasks and a better description 
of the time required to carry out these tasks. Since April 18, 1995, 
thousands of members of the public have provided comments on the 
Proposed Recovery Plan in writing or at public hearings. As a result of 
the large response, and because the Addendum to the Proposed Recovery 
Plan was expected to be published in mid-October of 1995, the public 
comment period was extended to November 17, 1995 (60 FR 44855, August 
29, 1995).
    NMFS is keenly aware of the public's interest in the process of 
salmon recovery and values public comments as an important source of 
information to help improve Federal decisions. Therefore, NMFS further 
extends the comment period on the Proposed Recovery Plan to December 
11, 1995. Copies of the Addendum will be mailed to every person who 
received the Proposed Recovery Plan and are available upon request (see 
ADDRESSES).

    Dated: October 30, 1995.
William W. Fox,
Director, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
