Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, 
Subpart C and Subpart D--1997-1998 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 hunting and trapping 
seasons, harvest limits, methods, and means related to taking of 
wildlife for subsistence uses during the 1997-1998 regulatory year. 
This rule making is necessary because Subpart D regulations require 
annual public review, and the customary and traditional use 
determinations are also open to the same annual regulatory revision 
process. When final, this rule making will replace hunting and trapping 
regulations and modify customary and traditional use determinations in 
``Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, 
Subparts C and D--1996-1997 Subsistence Taking of Fish and Wildlife 
Regulations,'' which expire on June 30, 1997.

DATES: Written public comments and proposals to change this proposed 
rule must be received no later than October 25, 1996. Federal 
Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils (Regional Councils) will hold 
public meetings to receive proposals to change regulations contained in 
this proposed rule from September 9-October 25, 1996, at various 
locations in Alaska. See Supplementary Information for additional 
information on meetings and written comment procedures.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Meeting Locations and Written Comment Procedures

    The meetings on this proposed rule will be held at the following 
locations in Alaska:

Southeast Regional Council--Kake
Southcentral Regional Council--Glenallen
Kodiak/Aleutians Regional Council--Unalaska
Bristol Bay Regional Council--Togiak
Yokon-Kuskokwim Delta Regional Council--Akiachak
Western Interior Regional Council--Galena
Seward Peninsula Regional Council--Teller

    Notice of specific dates, times, and meeting locations will be 
published in local and statewide newspapers prior to the meetings. 
Locations and dates may need to be changed based on weather or local 
circumstances. Length of the Regional Council meetings will be 
determined by the amount or work on each Regional Council's agenda. 
Written proposals to change Subpart D hunting and trapping regulations 
and customary and traditional use determinations in Subpart C will be 
compiled and distributed for additional public review during early 
November 1996. 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 pubic 
comment period. Comments on published proposals to change hunting and 
trapping and customary and traditional use determination regulations 
may be presented to the Regional Councils at their winter meetings; 
locations, dates, and times to be announced. 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 1997.

Proposed Changes from 1996-1997 Seasons and Bag Limit Regulations

    Subpart D regulations are subject to an annual cycle and require 
development of an entire new rule each

[[Page 41061]]

year. Customary and traditional use determinations are also subject to 
an annual review process providing for modification each year. 
Regulations contained in this proposed rule will take effect on July 1, 
1997, unless elements are changed by subsequent Board action following 
the public review process outlined herein.
    The text of the 1996-1997 Subparts C and D Final Rule served as the 
foundation for the 1997-1998 Subparts C and D proposed rule. No changes 
to the 1996-1997 Final Rule have been made for the 1997-1998 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 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 through 100.23 and 36 CFR 
Sec. Sec. 242.1 through 242.23, remain effective and apply to this rule 
for Sec. Sec. ____.24 and ____.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 Kanetok, 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'' litigation 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 25, 1996. Comments or proposals may also be presented at 
Regional Council meetings to be held from September 9-October 25, 1996.
    Proposals should be specific to customary and traditional use 
determinations or to subsistence hunting and trapping 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 Section ____.24, Subpart C 
and Section ____.24, 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. Fish and 
shellfish regulations were extended

[[Page 41062]]

through December 31, 1997, pending further development of a separate 
rulemaking process resulting from the consolidated ``Katie John'' 
litigation and petitions to the Secretaries regarding extended 
jurisdiction. See Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands 
in Alaska, Identification of Waters Subject to Subsistence Priority 
Regulation and Expansion of the Federal Subsistence Program and the 
Federal Subsistence Board's Authority published April 4, 1996 (61 FR 
15014).
    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. 
The Board may defer review and action on some proposals if workload 
exceeds work capacity of staff, Regional Councils, or Board. These 
deferrals will be based on recommendations of the affected Regional 
Council, staff members and on the basis of least harm to the 
subsistence user.
    Following public distribution of proposals for changes to the 1977-
1988 proposed regulations, a second 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 1977, 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 6, 1997. The Board will 
discuss and evaluate proposed changes to this rule during a public 
meeting scheduled to be held in Anchorage, April 1997. 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 1997.

Summary of Changes

    This proposed rule contains no changes from the Final 1996-1997 
Subsistence Management Regulations for Alaska.

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 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 completed 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--This rule contains information collection 
requirements subject to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The information collection 
requirements described below have been submitted to OMB for extension 
approval. This collection of information will not be required until it 
has been approved by OMB.
    The collection of information will be achieved through the use of 
the Federal Subsistence Hunt Permit Application. This collection 
information will establish whether the applicant qualifies to 
participate in a Federal subsistence hunt on public land in Alaska and 
will provide a report of harvest and location of harvest.
    The likely respondents to this collection of information are rural 
Alaska residents who wish to participate in specific subsistence hunts 
on Federal land. The collected information is necessary to determine 
harvest success and harvest location in order to make management 
decisions relative to the conservation of healthy wildlife populations. 
The annual burden of reporting and recordkeeping is estimated to 
average 0.25 hours per response, including time for reviewing 
instructions, gathering and maintaining data, and completing and 
reviewing the form. The estimated number of likely respondents under 
this rule is less than 5,000, yielding a total annual reporting and 
recordkeeping burden of 1,250 hours or less.
    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 (Subsistence), 
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.

Economic Effects

    This rule was not subject to OMB review under Executive Order 
12866.
    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, such as ammunition, snowmachine, and gasoline dealers. 
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.
    In general, the resources harvested under this rule will be 
consumed by the local harvester and do not result in a dollar benefit 
to the economy. However, it is estimated that 2 million pounds of meat 
are harvested by the local subsistence users annually and, if given a 
dollar value of $3.00 per pound, would equate to $6 million State wide.
    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 potential takings of private property implications 
as defined by Executive Order 12630.
    The Service has determined that these proposed regulations meet the 
applicable standards provided in Sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive 
Order 12988.
    The Departments have determined and certify pursuant to the 
Unfunded Mandates Act, 2 U.S.C. 1502 et seq., that this rulemaking will 
not impose a cost of $100 million or more in any given year on local or 
state governments or private entities.
    Drafting Information--These regulations were drafted by William 
Knauer under the guidance of Thomas H. Boyd, of the Office of 
Subsistence Management, Alaska Regional Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service, Anchorage, Alaska. Additional guidance was provided by Peggy 
Fox, 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.

already obtained anywhere in the State under Federal and State 
regulations equals or exceeds the harvest limit in that Unit.
    (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) or as 
otherwise provided for by this Part, an animal taken as part of a 
community harvest limit counts toward every community member's harvest 
limit for that species taken under Federal or State of Alaska 
regulations.
    (3) Harvest limits. (i) Harvest limits, including those related to 
ceremonial uses, authorized by this section and bag limits established 
in State regulations may not be accumulated.
    (ii) Wildlife taken by a designated hunter for another person 
pursuant to this section, counts toward the individual harvest limit of 
the person for whom the wildlife is taken.
    (4) The harvest limit specified for a trapping season for a species 
and the harvest limit set for a hunting season for the same species are 
separate and distinct. This means that a person who has taken a harvest 
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.
    (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 
wildlife was taken, and identification of species transferred. Where a 
qualified subsistence user has designated another qualified subsistence 
user to take wildlife on his or her behalf in accordance with 
Sec. ____.6, the permit shall be furnished in place of a signed 
statement.
    (8) A rural Alaska resident who has been designated to take 
wildlife on behalf of another rural Alaska resident in accordance with 
Sec. ____.6, shall promptly deliver the wildlife to that rural Alaska 
resident.

    (9) No person may possess, transport, give, receive or barter 
wildlife that was taken in violation of Federal or State statutes or a 
regulation promulgated thereunder.
    (10) Evidence of sex and identity. (i) If substances take of Dall 
sheep is restricted to a ram, no person may possess or transport a 
harvested sheep unless both horns accompany the animal.
    (ii) If the subsistence taking of an ungulate, except sheep, is 
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, this paragraph (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 of 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 tines on one antler shall leave the antlers naturally 
attached to the unbroken, uncut skull plate; however, this paragraph 
(c)(10)(11) does not apply to a moose carcass or its parts that have 
been butchered and placed in storage or otherwise prepared for 
consumption after arrival at the place where it is to be stored or 
consumed.
    (d) A person who takes an animal that has been marked or tagged for 
scientific studies must, within a reasonable time, notify the ADF&G or 
the agency identified on the collar or marker, when and where the 
animal was taken. Any ear tag, collar, radio, tattoo, or other 
identification must be retained with the hide until it is sealed, if 
sealing is required; in all cases, any identification equipment must be 
returned to the ADF&G or to an agency identified on such equipment.
    (e) Sealing of bear skins and skulls.
    (1) Sealing requirements for bear shall apply to brown bears taken 
in all Units, except as specified below, and black bears of all color 
phases taken in Units 1-7, 11-16, and 20.
    (2) No person may possess or transport from Alaska, the untanned 
skin or skull of a bear unless the skin and skull have been sealed by 
an authorized representative of ADF&G in accordance with State or 
Federal regulations, except that the skin and skull of a brown bear 
taken under a registration permit in the Western Alaska Brown Bear 
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; 
however, this provision shall not apply to brown bears taken within the 
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 
person may possess or transport the hide of a bear which does not have 
the penis sheath or vaginal orifice naturally attached to indicate 
conclusively the sex of the bear.
    (ii) If the skin or skull of a bear taken in the Western Alaska 
Brown Bear Management Ares is removed from the area, it must first be 
sealed by an ADF&G representative in Bethel, Dillingham, or McGrath; at 
the time of sealing, the ADF&G representative shall remove and retain 
the skin of the skull and front claws of the bear.
    (iii) If the skin or skull of a bear taken in the Northwestern 
Alaska Brown Bear Management Area is removed from the area, it must be

shall remove and retain the skin of the skull and front claws of the 
bear.
    (iv) If the skin or skull of a bear taken in Unit 5 is removed from 
the area, it must first be sealed by an ADF&G representative in 
Yakutat; at the time of sealing, the ADF&G representative shall remove 
and retain the skin of the skull and front claws of the bear.
    (v) If the skin or skull of a bear taken in Unit 9(B) is removed 
from the area, it must first be sealed by an ADF&G representative in 
Port Alsworth or King Salmon; at the time of sealing, the ADF&G 
representative shall remove and retain the skin of the skull and front 
claws of the bear.
    (4) No person may falsify any information required on the sealing 
certification or temporary sealing form provided by the ADF&G in 
accordance with State regulations.
    (f) Sealing of beaver, lynx, marten, otter, wolf, and wolverine. No 
person may possess or transport from Alaska the untanned skin of a 
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 
representative of ADF&G in accordance with State regulations.
    (g) A person who takes a species listed in paragraph (f) of this 
section but who is unable to present the skin in person, must complete 
and sign a temporary sealing form and ensure that the completed 
temporary sealing form and skin are presented to an authorized 
representative of ADF & G for sealing consistent with requirements 
listed in paragraph (f) of this section.
    (h) Utilization of wildlife. (1)No person may use wildlife as food 
for a dog or furbearer, or as bait, except for the following:
    (i) The hide, skin, viscera, head, or bones of wildlife;
    (ii) The skinned carcass of a furbearer;
    (iii) Squirrels, hares (rabbits), grouse and ptarmigan; however, 
the breast meat of grouse and ptarmigan may not be used as animal food 
or bait;

of brown bears taken in the Western and Northwestern Alaska Brown Bear 
Management Areas and Units 5 and 9(B) need not be salvaged;
    (iii) The hide and edible meat of a black bear;
    (iv) The hide or meat of squirrels, hares (rabbits), marmots, 
beaver, muskrats, or unclassified wildlife.
    (3) Failure to salvage edible meat of ungulates, bear or grouse and 
ptarmigan is prohibited.
    (4) Failure to salvage the edible meat may not be a violation if 
such failure is caused by circumstances beyond the control of a person, 
including theft of the harvested wildlife, unanticipated weather 
conditions, or unavoidable loss to another animal.
    (i) The regulations found in this section do not apply to the 
subsistence taking and use of wildlife regulated pursuant to the Fur
