Time once again to consider habitat related projects that you have been
working on that may be considered for funding by the Western Native Trout
Initiative Steering Committee with NFHAP funds.</FONT><BR><FONT
size=2> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>As with past years, project proposals
that the field offices develop should be entered into FIS as a FONS project.
The FONS project title should begin with WNTI-. For example,
WNTI-Barrier Removal in Pole Creek for Lahontan cutthroat trout. The
projects should be entered into FIS no later than October 1, 2008.
Please ensure that your State Fish and Game agency is knowledgable of
the project and preferably a partner.</FONT><BR><FONT

multiple or at least one partner; partnership funds or inkind support is
relatively high, 50% partner is optimum but not required; has completed all
regulatory compliance and authorizations; preferably in the second advanced
stages of completion.</FONT><BR><FONT size=2> </FONT><BR><FONT

size=2>Regional Office Fishery Program will review all WNTI-NFHAP projects and
select the top ten projects. The lead WNTI coordinator will consolidate
the top ten project list from all 5 FWS regions and submit the consolidated
list to the WNTI Steering Committee by December 1, 2008 for review. The
Steering Committee will meet in San Diego for a final ranking and
recommendation to the FWS for the top 10 projects that will be forwarded to
the Washington Office for NFHAP funding consideration.</FONT><BR><FONT
