Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, 
Subpart C and Subpart D--1996-1997 Subsistence Taking of Fish and 
Wildlife Regulations

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture; and Fish and Wildlife Service, 
Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would revise the customary and traditional 
use determinations and establish regulations for seasons, harvest 
limits, methods, and means related to taking of wildlife for 
subsistence uses during the 1996-1997 regulatory year. This rule making 
is necessary because Subpart D regulations require annual public 
review, and the customary and traditional use determinations are being 
opened to the same annual regulatory revision process. When final, this 
rule making will replace hunting and trapping regulations in 
``Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, 
Subpart D--1995-1996 Subsistence Taking of Fish and Wildlife 
Regulations,'' which expire on June 30, 1996.

DATES: Written public comments and proposals to change this proposed 
rule must be received no later than October 27, 1995. Federal 
Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils (Regional Councils) will hold 
public meetings on this proposed rule making from September 11--October 
18, 1995, at various locations in Alaska. Notice of specific dates and 
meeting locations will be published in local and statewide newspapers 
prior to the meetings. Written proposals to change Subpart D 
regulations will be compiled and distributed for additional public 
review during early November 1995. A second 30-day public comment 
period will follow distribution of the compiled proposal packet. 
Written public comments on distributed proposals will be accepted 
during the second public comment period. Comments on proposals to 
change Subpart D regulations may be presented to the Regional Councils 
at their meetings. The Federal Subsistence Board (Board) will 
deliberate and take final action on proposals received that request 
changes to this proposed rule at a public meeting to be held in 
Anchorage during April 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments and proposals should be sent to Chair, Federal 
Subsistence Board, c/o U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Attention: 
Richard S. Pospahala, Office of Subsistence Management, 1011 E. Tudor 
Road, Anchorage, Alaska 99503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposed Changes From 1995-1996 Seasons and Bag Limit Regulations

    Subpart D regulations are subject to an annual cycle and require 
development of an entire new rule each year. Consequently, this 
proposed rule reflects regulation changes for the 1995-1996 regulatory 
year that are approved by the Board. The Board has also decided that 
customary and traditional use determinations will also be subject to 
the annual review process. Regulations contained in this proposed rule 
will take effect on July 1, 1996, unless elements are changed by 
subsequent Board action following the public review process outlined 
herein.
    The text of the 1995-1996 Subpart D final rule served as the 
foundation for the 1996-1997 Subpart D proposed rule. Only minor 
administrative changes to the 1995-1996 final rule have been made to 
correct Federal subsistence management program regulations for the 
1995-1996 regulatory year.

Background

    Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act 
(ANILCA) (16 U.S.C. 3111-3126) requires that the Secretary of the 
Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretaries) implement a 
joint program to grant a preference for subsistence uses of fish and 
wildlife resources on public lands, unless the State of Alaska enacts 
and implements laws of general applicability which are consistent with 
ANILCA, and which provide for the subsistence definition, preference, 
and participation specified in Sections 803, 804, and 805 of ANILCA. 
The State implemented a program that the Department of the Interior 
previously found to be consistent with ANILCA. However, in December 
1989, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled in McDowell v. State of Alaska 
that the rural preference in the State subsistence statute violated the 
Alaska Constitution. The Court's ruling in McDowell required the State 
to delete the rural preference from the subsistence statute, and 
therefore, negated State compliance with ANILCA. The Court stayed the 
effect of the decision until July 1, 1990.
    As a result of the McDowell decision, the Department of the 
Interior and the Department of Agriculture (Departments) assumed, on 
July 1, 1990, responsibility for implementation of Title VIII of ANILCA 
on public lands. On June 29, 1990, the Temporary Subsistence Management 
Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska were published in the Federal 
Register (55 FR 27114-27170). Consistent with Subparts A, B, and C of 
these regulations, a Federal Subsistence Board was established to 
administer the Federal subsistence management program. The Board's 
composition includes a Chair appointed by the Secretary of the Interior 
with concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture; the Alaska Regional 
Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; the Alaska Regional Director, 
U.S. National Park Service; the Alaska State Director, U.S. Bureau of 
Land Management; the Alaska Area Director, U.S. Bureau of Indian 
Affairs; and the Alaska Regional Forester, USDA Forest Service. Through 
the Board, these agencies have participated in development of 
regulations for Subparts A, B, and C, and the annual Subpart D 
regulations. All Board members have reviewed this proposed rule and 
agree with its substance. Because this proposed rule relates to public 
lands managed by an agency or agencies in 

[[Page 42086]]
both the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior, identical text 
would be incorporated into 36 CFR Part 242 and 50 CFR Part 100.

Applicability of Subparts A, B, and C

    Subparts A, B, and C of the Subsistence Management Regulations for 
Public Lands in Alaska, 50 CFR Secs. 100.1 to 100.23 and 36 CFR 
Secs. 242.1 to 242.23, remain effective and apply to this rule for 
Secs. ____.23-____.25. Therefore, all definitions located at 50 CFR 
Sec. 100.4 and 36 CFR Sec. 242.4 apply to regulations found in this 
subpart. The identified sections include definitions for the following 
terms:

``Federal lands means lands and waters and interests therein title to 
which is in the United States''; and
``public land or public lands means lands situated in Alaska which are 
Federal lands, except--

    (1) land selections of the State of Alaska which have been 
tentatively approved or validly selected under the Alaska Statehood Act 
and lands which have been confirmed to, validly selected by, or granted 
to the Territory of Alaska or the State under any other provision of 
Federal Law;
    (2) land selections of a Native Corporation made under the Alaska 
Native Claims Settlement Act which have not been conveyed to a Native 
Corporation, unless any such selection is determined to be invalid or 
is relinquished; and
    (3) lands referred to in Section 19(b) of the Alaska Native Claims 
Settlement Act.''

Navigable Waters

    At this time, Federal subsistence management program regulations 
apply to all non-navigable waters located on public lands and to 
navigable waters located on the public lands identified at 50 CFR 
Sec. 100.3(b) and 36 CFR Sec. 242.3(b) of the Subsistence Management 
Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, Subparts A, B, and C (57 FR 
22940-22964) published May 29, 1992. Nothing in these regulations is 
intended to enlarge or diminish authorities of the Departments to 
manage submerged lands, title to which is held by the United States 
government.
    The Board recognizes Judge Holland's order granting preliminary 
relief to the plaintiffs in the case of the Native Village of Quinhagak 
et al. v. United States of America et al. Therefore, to the extent that 
the proposed regulations would continue any existing restrictions on 
the taking of rainbow trout by the residents of Quinhagak and Goodnews 
Bay in the Kanektok, Arolik, and Goodnews Rivers, those regulations 
will not be enforced pending completion of proceedings in that case. 
However, in light of the continuation of the proceedings in the 
consolidated ``Katie John case'' and a petition to the Secretaries of 
the Interior and Agriculture addressing jurisdiction in navigable 
waters, no attempt is being made to alter the fish and shellfish 
portions of the regulations (Sections ______.26 and ______.27) until 
final guidance has been received regarding the jurisdictional authority 
of the Federal government over navigable waters in general, and 
specifically with respect to the waters at issue in Native Village of 
Quinhagak et al. v. United States of America et al.

Public Review Process--Regulation Comments, Proposals, and Public 
Meetings

    Written comments or proposed regulation changes may be submitted in 
writing to the address identified at the beginning of this rulemaking 
by October 27, 1995. Comments or proposals may also be presented at 
Regional Council meetings to be held from September 11-October 18, 1995 
in Anchorage and other Alaskan communities.
    Proposals should be specific to customary and traditional use 
determinations or to subsistence seasons, harvest limits, and/or 
methods and means. Proposals submitted to the Board should include, at 
minimum, the following information:
    a. The name, address, and telephone number of the individual or 
organization submitting the proposal;
    b. The section and/or paragraph of the proposed rule for which the 
change is being suggested;
    c. A statement explaining why the change is necessary;
    d. A proposed solution;
    e. Suggested wording for the regulation addition or change; and
    f. Any supporting information.
    Proposals which fail to include the above information, or proposals 
which are beyond the scope of authorities in subpart D, may be 
rejected. Proposals for changes relating to fish or shellfish 
regulations, and changes to the overall program will not be considered 
by the board at this time. The public is encouraged to use standardized 
proposal forms to submit recommendations to the board. Proposal forms 
may be obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the address 
listed above.
    Following public distribution of proposals for changes to the 1996-
1997 proposed subpart D regulations, a second 30-day comment period 
will be provided to allow public review of those proposals that will be 
considered by the Board. A second series of Regional Council meetings 
will be held in February 1996, to assist in developing recommendations 
to the Board. Written comments on proposals may be submitted to the 
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service before conclusion of the second comment 
period which is presently scheduled to end on January 5, 1996. The 
Board will discuss and evaluate proposed changes to this rule during a 
public meeting scheduled to be held in Anchorage, April 1996. The 
public may provide additional oral testimony on specific proposals 
before the Board at that time.

Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils

    Pursuant to the Record of Decision, Subsistence Management 
Regulations for Federal Public Lands in Alaska, April 6, 1992, and the 
Subsistence Management Regulations for Federal Public Lands in Alaska, 
36 CFR Sec. 242.11 (1992) and 50 CFR 100 Sec. 242.11 (1992), and for 
the purposes identified therein, Alaska has been divided into ten 
subsistence resource regions, each of which is represented by a Federal 
Subsistence Regional Advisory Council (Regional Council). The Regional 
Councils provide a forum for rural residents with personal knowledge of 
local conditions and resource requirements to have a meaningful role in 
the subsistence management of fish and wildlife on Alaska public lands. 
The Regional Council members represent varied geographical, cultural, 
and user diversity within each region.
    The Regional Councils have a substantial role in reviewing the 
proposed rule and making recommendations for the final rule. Moreover, 
the Council Chairs, or their designated representatives, will present 
their Council's recommendations at the Board meeting in April 1996.

Summary of Changes

    This proposed rule contains no changes from the Final 1995-1996 
Subsistence Management Regulations for Alaska, as corrected, other than 
some minor wording clarifications and corrections.

Conformance With Statutory and Regulatory Authorities

National Environmental Policy Act Compliance

    A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that described four 
alternatives for developing a Federal Subsistence Management Program 
was 

[[Page 42087]]
distributed for public comment on October 7, 1991. That document 
described the major issues associated with Federal subsistence 
management as identified through public meetings, written comments and 
staff analysis and examined the environmental consequences of the four 
alternatives. Proposed regulations (Subparts A, B, and C) that would 
implement the preferred alternative were included in the DEIS as an 
appendix. The DEIS and the proposed administrative regulations 
presented a framework for an annual regulatory cycle regarding 
subsistence hunting and fishing regulations (Subpart D). The Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was published on February 28, 
1992.
    Based on the public comment received, the analysis contained in the 
FEIS, and the recommendations of the Federal Subsistence Board and the 
Department of the Interior's Subsistence Policy Group, it was the 
decision of the Secretary of the Interior, with the concurrence of the 
Secretary of Agriculture, through the U.S. Department of Agriculture-
Forest Service, to implement Alternative IV as identified in the DEIS 
and FEIS (Record of Decision on Subsistence Management for Federal 
Public Lands in Alaska (ROD), signed April 6, 1992).
    The DEIS and the selected alternative in the FEIS defined the 
administrative framework of an annual regulatory cycle for subsistence 
hunting and fishing regulations. The final rule for Subsistence 
Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, Subparts A, B, and C 
(57 FR 22940-22964, published May 29, 1992) implements the Federal 
Subsistence Management Program and includes a framework for an annual 
cycle for subsistence hunting and fishing regulations.

Compliance With Section 810 of ANILCA

    The intent of all Federal subsistence regulations is to accord 
subsistence uses of fish and wildlife on public lands a priority over 
the taking of fish and wildlife on such lands for other purposes, 
unless restriction is necessary to conserve healthy fish and wildlife 
populations. A Section 810 analysis was competed as part of the FEIS 
process. The final Section 810 analysis determination appears in the 
April 6, 1992, ROD which concluded that the Federal Subsistence 
Management Program, under Alternative IV with an annual process for 
setting hunting and fishing regulations, may have some local impacts on 
subsistence uses, but it does not appear that the program may 
significantly restrict subsistence uses.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    These rules contain information collection requirements subject to 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval under 44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520. They apply to the use of public lands in Alaska. The information 
collection requirements described above are approved by the OMB under 
44 U.S.C. 3501 and have been assigned clearance number 1018-0075.
    Public reporting burden for the permit(s) required by this document 
is estimated to average .1382 hours per response, including time for 
reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining data, and completing 
and reviewing the form. Direct comments on the burden estimate or any 
other aspect of this form to: Information Collection Officer, U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service, 1849 C Street, NW, MS 224 ARLSQ, Washington, DC 
20240; and the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction 
Project (1018-0075), Washington, DC 20503. Additional information 
collection requirements may be imposed if Local Advisory Committees 
subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act are established under 
Subpart B. Such requirements will be submitted to OMB for approval 
prior to their implementation.
    This rule is not subject to OMB review under Executive Order 12866.

Economic Effects

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) 
requires preparation of flexibility analyses for rules that will have a 
significant effect on a substantial number of small entities, which 
include small businesses, organizations or governmental jurisdictions. 
The Departments have determined that this rulemaking will not have a 
significant economic effect on a substantial number of small entities 
within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    This rulemaking will impose no significant costs on small entities; 
the exact number of businesses and the amount of trade that will result 
from this Federal land-related activity is unknown. The aggregate 
effect is an insignificant positive economic effect on a number of 
small entities. The number of small entities affected is unknown; but, 
the fact that the positive effects will be seasonal in nature and will, 
in most cases, merely continue preexisting uses of public lands 
indicates that they will not be significant.
    These regulations do not meet the threshold criteria of 
``Federalism Effects'' as set forth in Executive Order 12612. Title 
VIII of ANILCA requires the Secretaries to administer a subsistence 
preference on public lands. The scope of this program is limited by 
definition to certain public lands. Likewise, these regulations have no 
significant takings implication relating to any property rights as 
outlined by Executive Order 12630.
Drafting Information

    These regulations were drafted by William Knauer under the guidance 
of Richard S. Pospahala, of the Office of Subsistence Management, 
Alaska Regional Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Anchorage, 
Alaska. Additional guidance was provided by Thomas H. Boyd, Alaska 
State Office, Bureau of Land Management; Sandy Rabinowitch, Alaska 
Regional Office, National Park Service; John Borbridge, Alaska Area 
Office, Bureau of Indian Affairs; and Ken Thompson, USDA-Forest 
Service.

to subsistence taking of deer;
    (xvii) Taking a bear cub or a sow accompanied by cub(s).
    (2) Wildlife taken in defense of life or property is not a 
subsistence use; wildlife so taken is subject to State regulations.
    (3) The following methods and means of trapping furbearers, for 
subsistence uses pursuant to the requirements of a trapping license are 
prohibited, in addition to the prohibitions listed at Sec. ______

or feeding house may be disturbed in the course of trapping;
    (ii) Disturbing or destroying any beaver house;
    (iii) Taking beaver by any means other than a steel trap or snare, 
except that firearms may be used in certain Units with established

Unit, or portion of a Unit, if that person's total statewide take of 
that species has already been obtained under Federal and State 
regulations in other Units, or portions of other Units.
    (2) An animal taken under Federal or State regulations by any 
member of a community with an established community harvest limit for 
that species counts toward the community harvest limit for that 
species. Except for wildlife taken pursuant to Sec. ______ .6(f)(3), an 
animal taken by an individual as part of a community harvest limit 
counts toward that individual's harvest limit for that species taken 
under Federal or State regulations for areas outside of the community

limit for a particular species under a trapping season may take 
additional animals under the harvest limit specified for a hunting 
season or vice versa.
    (5) A brown/grizzly bear taken in a Unit or portion of a Unit 
having a harvest limit of one brown/grizzly bear per year counts 
against a one brown/grizzly bear every four regulatory years harvest 
limit in other Units; an individual may not take more than one brown/
grizzly bear in a regulatory year. 

[[Page 42097]]

    (6) A harvest limit applies to the number of animals that can be 
taken during a regulatory year; however, harvest limits for grouse, 
ptarmigan, and caribou (in some Units) are regulated by the number that 
may be taken per day. Harvest limits of grouse and ptarmigan are also 
regulated by the number that can be held in possession.
    (7) Unless otherwise provided, any person who gives or receives 
wildlife shall furnish, upon a request made by a Federal or State 
agent, a signed statement describing the following: names and addresses 
of persons who gave and received wildlife, the time and place that the

restricted to one sex in the local area, no person may possess or 
transport the carcass of an animal taken in that area unless sufficient 
portions of the external sex organs remain attached to indicate 
conclusively the sex of the animal; however, Sec. ______ .25(c)(10)(ii) 
does not apply to the carcass of an ungulate that has been butchered 
and placed in storage or otherwise prepared for consumption upon 
arrival at the location where it is to be consumed.
    (iii) If a moose harvest limit includes an antler size or 
configuration restriction, no person may possess or transport the moose 
carcass or its parts unless both antlers accompany the carcass or its 
parts. A person possessing a set of antlers with less than the required 
number of brow times on one antler shall leave the antlers naturally 
attached to the unbroken, uncut skull plate; however, Sec. ______ 
.25(c)(10)(iii) does not apply to moose carcass or its parts that have

Management Area, the Northwest Alaska Brown Bear Management Area, Unit 
5, or Unit 9(B) need not be sealed unless removed from the area.
    (3) A person who possesses a bear shall keep the skin and skull 
together until a representative of the ADF&G has removed a rudimentary 
premolar tooth from the skull and sealed both the skull and the skin;

Western Alaska Brown Bear Management Area, the Northwest Alaska Brown 
Bear Management Area, Unit 5, or Unit 9(B) which are not removed from 
the Management Area or Unit.
    (i) In areas where sealing is required by Federal regulations, no

marten taken in Units 1-5, 7, 13(E), and 14-16 or the untanned skin of 
a beaver, lynx, otter, wolf, or wolverine, whether taken inside or 
outside the state, unless the skin has been sealed by an authorized
