Summary

Washington, Oregon, and the tribal coordinating bodies must give the federal Secretary in charge a yearly report on how the programs under this chapter are doing, or any other report the Secretary asks for. Eighteen months after the Salmon and Steelhead Advisory Commission’s report is approved, the Secretary of Commerce must set up a system to keep checking whether that management plan is being carried out. The Secretary will watch for two problems: (1) the number of parties listed in section 3314 has dropped so the program can’t be carried out, and (2) the program is not being implemented effectively.
