Proposed Amendments to the List of Migratory Birds

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) proposes to amend 
the List of Migratory Birds contained in 50 CFR 10.13. The Service 
proposes to add 20 species, remove 1 species, and revise the English 
(common) and/or scientific names of 23 previously listed species as 
necessary to conform with the most recent taxonomy and nomenclature. 
After consideration of comments received on this proposed rule a final 
rule containing a full, up-to-date List of Migratory Birds will be 
prepared and published.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 10, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Chief, Office of Migratory Bird 
Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, 
ms 634-ARLSQ, 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC 20240. Comments 
received will be available for public inspection during normal business 
hours in room 634, Arlington Square Building, 4401 N. Fairfax Drive, 
Arlington, Virginia.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul R. Schmidt, Chief, Office of 
Migratory Bird Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department 
of the Interior, ms 634-ARLSQ, Washington, DC 20240, (703) 358-1714.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 
703-711) (MBTA) expressly protects any migratory bird included in the 
terms of the Convention for the Protection of Migratory Birds, August 
16, 1916, United States--Great Britain (on behalf of Canada), 39 Stat. 
1702, T.S. No. 628; the Convention for the Protection of Migratory 
Birds and Game Mammals, February 7, 1936, United States--Mexico, as 
amended, 50 Stat. 1311, T.S. No. 912; the Convention for the Protection 
of Migratory Birds and Birds in Danger of Extinction, and their 
Environment, March 4, 1972, United States--Japan, 25 U.S.T. 3329, 
T.I.A.S. No. 7990 (16 U.S.C. 703); and the Convention Between the 
United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 
[=Russia] Concerning the Conservation of Migratory Birds and Their 
Environment, November 26, 1976, 92 Stat. 3110, T.I.A.S. 9073 (16 U.S.C. 
703, 712).
    The Service regulates most aspects of the taking, possession, 
transportation, sale, purchase, barter, exportation, and importation of 
migratory birds under the terms of the MBTA. Regulations implementing 
the MBTA, which are found principally in Title 50 Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR), Parts 10, 20, and 21, may be applied to any bird 
covered by one of the four treaties (16 U.S.C. 703, 712).
    A list of birds protected under the Canadian, Mexican, Japanese, 
and Russian treaties is currently contained in 50 CFR 10.13, which was 
last revised on April 5, 1985 (50 FR 13708).
    The treaties with Canada and Mexico indicate, by scientific names 
of families or groups or by the English names of species or groups of 
species, which birds were intended to be protected by the respective 
treaties. As a result of increased knowledge of bird taxonomy, many of 
the names that appear in the Canadian and Mexican treaties are now 
obsolete. Information on currently accepted scientific terminology for 
the groups of birds protected by each of these treaties was provided in 
the previous final rule (50 FR 13708).
    The Japanese and Russian treaties listed individual species of 
birds to be protected. For 35 species, the scientific (generic or 
specific) name currently recognized by the American Ornithologists' 
Union differs from that which appears in the treaties. The following 
cross-reference provides a linkage between the scientific names used in 
the List of Migratory Birds and those that appear in the appendices to 
the Japanese and Russian treaties. The first name is the modern 
equivalent recognized by the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) (and 
adopted in 50 CFR 10.13 or this proposed rule) and the second name is 
that which appears in one or another of the treaties. This does not 
revise the appendices to either the Japanese or the Russian treaty 
(indicated by J or R). EXAMPLE--Chen canagica, the Emperor Goose, is 
listed as Anser canagicus in the Japanese treaty and as Philacte 
canagica in the Russian treaty. The latter two names are considered to 
be synonyms of Chen canagicus.

Accipiter gularis (Asiatic Sparrow Hawk) was listed as Accipiter 
virgatus (J & R);
Actitis hypoleucos (Common Sandpiper) was listed as Tringa hypoleucos 
(J & R);

Chen caerulescens (Snow Goose) was listed as Anser caerulescens (J);
Cyclorrhynchus psittaculus (Parakeet Auklet) was listed as Aethia 
psittacula (J);
Cygnus columbianus (Tundra Swan) incorporates Cygnus bewickii (R);
Egretta sacra (Pacific Reef Heron) was listed as Demigretta sacra (J);
Fratercula cirrhata (Tufted Pufin) was listed as Lunda cirrhata (J & 
R);
Gallinago gallinago (Common Snipe) was listed as Capella (=Gallinago) 
gallinago (R);
Gallinago megala (Swinhoe's Snipe) was listed as Capella (=Gallinago) 
megala (R);
Gallinago stenura (Pin-tailed Snipe) was listed as Capella (=Gallinago) 
stenura (R);
Heterosceles brevipes (Gray-tailed Tattler) was included as part of 
Tringa incana [=incanus] (J);

(J);
Mergellus albellus (Smew) was listed as Mergus albellus (J & R);
Milvus migrans (Black Kite) was listed as Milvus korschun 
(=migrans)(R);
Motacilla lugens (Black-backed Wagtail) was included as part of 
Motacilla alba (J & R);
Numenius borealis (Eskimo Curlew) was included as part of Numenius 
minutus (J);
Nycticorax goisagi (Japanese Night-Heron) was listed as Gorsachius 
goisagi (J); [[Page 24687]] 
Nycticorax melanolophus (Malay Night-Heron) was listed as Gorsachius 
melanolophus (J);
Phalaropus lobatus (Northern Phalarope) was listed as Lobipes lobatus 
(R);
Pterodroma hypoleuca (Bonin Petrel) was listed as Pterodroma leucoptera 
(=hypoleuca) (R);
Tachycineta bicolor (Tree Swallow) was listed as Iridoprocne bicolor 
(R);
Turdus obscurus (Eyebrowed Thrush) was listed as Turdus pallidus 
(=obscurus) (R);

    The amendments proposed here are necessary to:
    (i) Add species protected under the Japanese and Russian treaties 
that are not currently listed;
    (ii) Bring the list into conformity with the English (common) and 
scientific names given in the 6th Edition of the AOU's Check-list of 
North American Birds (1983), as revised;
    (iii) Add species that are of regular occurrence in the United 
States that were not included on the last list; and
    (iv) Remove species that are no longer considered to be 
taxonomically valid.
    Since the last publication of the List of Migratory Birds (50 FR 
13708), the AOU has published five supplements to the 6th (1983) 
edition of the Check-list of North American Birds. These supplements 
(Auk 102: 680-686, 1985; 104: 591-596, 1987; 106: 532-538, 1989; 108: 
750-754, 1991; 110: 675-682, 1993) represent decisions by the AOU's 
Committee on Classification and Nomenclature regarding the validity of 
certain distributional records that would add species to the list of 
North American birds and on systematic and/or nomenclatural proposals 
that affect the English (common) or scientific names of species in the 
6th Edition of the Check-list. Decisions published in the supplements 
will be incorporated into the next edition of the Check-list.
    Twenty species are proposed to be added to the list of protected 
birds.
    Two species would be added because of recent distributional records 
that indicate they are a part of the avifauna of the United States on a 
regular basis:

Sandpiper, Green, Tringa ochropus; and
Turtle-Dove, Oriental, Streptopelia orientalis.

    Two species would be added because they are included in the 
Appendix of the Russian treaty and in the Annex to the Japanese treaty, 
respectively (failure to include these species in the current list is 
considered an oversight):

Duck, Spot-billed, Anas poecilorhyncha; and
Gull, Black-tailed, Larus crassirostris.

    One species would be added because it is a regular member of the 
U.S. avifauna and belongs to a taxonomic group (subfamily Sylviinae, 
formerly family Sylviidae) covered by the Canadian and Mexican 
conventions:

Millerbird, Acrocephalus familiaris.

    Fifteen species would be added on the basis of recent taxonomic 
changes; what had been considered a single species is now regarded as 
two or more species. There would be no change in protection because of 
the change of listing. EXAMPLE--what was formerly considered to be the 
Arctic Loon, Gavia arctica, is now considered to be two species, the 
Arctic Loon, Gavia arctica, and the Pacific Loon, Gavia pacifica, both 
of which would be listed:

Coot, Hawaiian, Fulica alai (formerly included in F. americana, 
American Coot);
Flycatcher, Cordilleran, Empidonax occidentalis (formerly included in 
E. difficilis, Western [=Pacific-slope] Flycatcher);
Golden-Plover, Pacific, Pluvialis fulva (formerly included in P. 
dominica, Lesser [=American] Golden Plover);
Gnatcatcher, California, Polioptila californica (formerly included in 
P. melanura, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher);
Grebe, Clark's, Aechmophorus clarkii (formerly included in A. 
occidentalis, Western Grebe);
Kamao, Myadestes myadestinus (formerly included in Phaeornis 
[=Myadestes] obscurus, Hawaiian Thrush [=Omao]);
Loon, Pacific, Gavia pacifica (formerly included in G. arctica, Arctic 
Loon);
Olomao, Myadestes lanaiensis (formerly included in Phaeornis 
[=Myadestes] obscurus, Hawaiian Thrush [=Omao]);
Petrel, White-necked, Pterodroma cervicalis (formerly included in P. 
externa, White-necked [=Juan Fernandez] Petrel);
Rosy-Finch, Black, Leucosticte atrata (formerly included in L. arctoa, 
Rosy Finch);
Rosy-Finch, Brown-capped, Leucosticte australis (formerly included in 
L. arctoa, Rosy Finch);
Rosy-Finch, Gray-crowned, Leucosticte tephrocotis (formerly included in 
L. arctoa, Rosy Finch);
Sapsucker, Red-naped, Sphyrapicus nuchalis (formerly included in S. 
varius, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker);
Towhee, California, Pipilo crissalis (formerly included in P. fuscus, 
Brown Towhee); and
Vireo, Yellow-green, Vireo flavoviridis (formerly included in V. 
olivaceus, Red-eyed Vireo).

    One species would be removed because of questions about its 
taxonomic validity in reference to North American taxa:

Finch, Rosy, Leucosticte arctoa.

    Finally, the English (common) and/or scientific (generic or 
specific) names of 23 species would be revised to conform with the most 
recent nomenclature. EXAMPLE--The English name of the Common Barn-Owl, 
Tyto alba, would be changed to Barn Owl. None of these strictly 
nomenclatural revisions would affect the protection afforded any 
species:

Barn-Owl, Common, would be changed to Owl, Barn;
Bittern, Chinese, would be changed to Bittern, Yellow;
Caracara, Crested, Polyborus plancus, would be changed to Caracara 
plancus;
Cormorant, Olivaceous, Phalacrocorax olivaceus, would be changed to 
Cormorant, Neotropic, Phalacrocorax brasilianus;
Curlew, Least, would be changed to Curlew, Little;
Egret, Plumed, Egretta intermedia, would be changed to Egret, 
Intermediate, Mesophoyx intermedia;
Flycatcher, Western, would be changed to Flycatcher, Pacific-slope;
Gannet, Northern, Sula bassanus, would be changed to Morus bassanus;
Golden-Plover, Lesser, would be changed to Golden-Plover, American;
Goose, Hawaiian, Nesochen sandvicensis, would be changed to Branta 
sandvicensis;
Hawk-Owl, Northern, would be changed to Owl, Northern Hawk;
Heron, Green-backed, Butorides striatus would be changed to Heron, 
Green, Butorides virescens;
Kite, Black-shouldered, Elanus caeruleus, would be changed to Kite, 
White-tailed, Elanus leucurus;
Night-Heron, Yellow-crowned, Nycticorax violaceus, would be changed to 
Nyctanassa violacea;
Owl, Burrowing, Athene cunicularia, would be changed to Speotyto 
cunicularia;
Pauraque, Common, would be changed to Pauraque;
Petrel, White-necked, Pterodroma externa, would be changed to Petrel, 
Juan Fernandez;
Pipit, Water, Anthus spinoletta, would be changed to Pipit, American, 
Anthus rubescens;
Storm-Petrel, Sooty, would be changed to Storm-Petrel, Tristram's;
Thrush, Eye-browed, would be changed to Thrush, Eyebrowed;
Thrush, Hawaiian, Phaeornis obscurus, would be changed to Omao, 
Myadestes obscurus; [[Page 24688]] 
Thrush, Small Kauai, Phaeornis palmeri, would be changed to Puaiohi, 
Myadestes palmeri; and,
Towhee, Brown, would be changed to Towhee, Canyon.

    In total, the proposed amendments would involve 44 species and 
result in a net addition of 19 species to the list. The names of the 
species that are proposed to be added, removed, or revised are arranged 
in the same way as in the current List of Migratory Birds, that is, 
alphabetical by English (common) name under their respective group 
names (e.g., Flycatcher, Cordilleran).

    Note: Corresponding amendments to the Taxonomic Listing will be 
incorporated into the Final Rule, as appropriate).

    After consideration of comments received on this proposed rule, a 
final decision document containing a full, up-to-date List of Migratory 
Birds will be prepared and published.

Statement of Effects

    Because the proposed revision of the List of Migratory Birds merely 
redescribes the birds already protected by the Federal treaties with 
Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Russia, the Department of the Interior has 
determined that this document will not have a significant economic 
effect on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)

Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 and Paperwork Reduction Act

    This document was not subject to Office of Management and Budget 
review under E.O. 12866. This rule does not contain information 
collection requirements which require approval by the Office of 
Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

National Environmental Policy Act

    Based on the fact that these regulations merely redescribe the 
birds already protected by the Federal treaties with Canada, Mexico, 
Japan, and Russia, the Service has determined that revision of the List 
of Migratory Birds in 50 CFR 10.13 is not a major Federal action which 
would significantly affect the quality of the human environment within 
the meaning of section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969. Accordingly, the preparation of an environmental impact 
statement on such regulation is not required.

Endangered Species Act Consideration

    A number of species appearing on the List of Migratory Birds are 
also designated as Endangered or Threatened under provisions of the 
Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531-1544). No legal complications 
arise from the dual listing inasmuch as the two lists are developed by 
separate authorities and for different purposes.

Primary Authors

    The primary author of this proposed rule is John L. Trapp, U.S. 
Fish and Wildlife Service.

Public Comments Invited

    The policy of the Department of the Interior is, whenever 
practical, to afford the public an opportunity to participate in the 
rulemaking process. Accordingly, interested persons may submit written 
comments, suggestions, or objections regarding this proposal to the 
location identified in the address section above. Comments must be 
received on or before July 10, 1995. Following review and consideration 
of the comments, the Service will issue a final rule on these proposed 
amendments to the List of Migratory Birds.

List of Subjects in 50 CFR Part 10

    Exports, Birds, Imports, Law enforcement officers, Wildlife.

Proposed Regulations Promulgation

    Accordingly, the Service hereby proposes to amend part 10, subpart 
B of chapter I, title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as set 
forth below:

PART 10--[AMENDED]

    1. The authority citation for part 10 is revised to read as 
follows:
