DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Indian Affairs

25 CFR Part 250

RIN 1076-AD68


Indian Fishing--Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs is eliminating 25 CFR Part 250 as 
mandated by Executive Order 12866 to streamline the regulatory process 
and enhance the planning and coordination of new and existing 
regulations. The necessity for this rule no longer exists.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 22, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary Rankel, Chief, Branch of Fish, 
Wildlife and Recreation, Office of Trust Responsibilities, Bureau of 
Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, 1849 C St. NW, Mail Stop 
4513-MIB, Washington, DC 20240, Telephone (202) 208-4088.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 2, 1996, at 61 FR 19600, the Bureau 
published a proposed rule to eliminate 25 CFR Part 250, Indian 
Fishing--Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation. The purpose for which this 
rule was promulgated has been fulfilled and the rule is no longer 
required. Both the Hoopa Valley Tribe and the Yurok Tribe have 
established regulations to protect the fishery resources and fishing 
rights of Indians of the Hoopa Valley and Yurok Indian Reservations. 
With tribal fishing regulations now in place, 25 CFR Part 250 is no 
longer necessary. We received no comments in response to the proposed 
rule.

Evaluation and Certification

    The Department has certified to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) that this rule meets the applicable standards provided in 
Sections 2(a) and 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778.
    The Office of Management and Budget has determined that this rule 
is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
    There will be no economic effect on each tribal government and 
tribal organization under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 
et seq.) and no additional outlays will be required of tribal 
governments, tribal organizations, and the Federal Government.
    In accordance with Executive Order 12630, the Department has 
determined that this rule does not have significant ``takings'' 
implications. The rule does not pertain to ``taking'' of private 
property interests, nor does it affect private property.
    The Department has determined that this rule will not constitute a 
major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment and that no detailed statement is required pursuant to the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
    This rule has been examined under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 and has been found to contain no information collection documents.
