anglers; (2) assess the economic value of steelhead recreational 
fishing trips through statistical estimation of models; and (3) assess 
the change in these values associated with possible changes in 
recreational steelhead angling opportunities, including catch rates of 
wild and hatchery fish, site attributes, and travel costs.

    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
