Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, 
Subpart C and Subpart D--1999-2000; Subsistence Taking of Fish and 
Wildlife Regulations

AGENCIES: Forest Service, Agriculture and Fish and Wildlife Service, 
Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would revise regulations for seasons, 
harvest limits, methods, and means related to taking of wildlife for 
subsistence uses during the 1999-2000 regulatory year. The rulemaking 
is necessary because Subpart D is subject to an annual public review 
cycle. When final, this rulemaking will replace the wildlife 
regulations included in the ``Subsistence Management Regulations for 
Public Lands in Alaska, Subpart D--1998-1999 Subsistence Taking of Fish 
and Wildlife Regulations,'' which expire on June 30, 1999. This rule 
would also amend the Customary and Traditional Use Determinations of 
the Federal Subsistence Board (Section ______.24 of Subpart C).

DATES: The Federal Subsistence Board must receive your written public 
comments and proposals to change this proposed rule no later than 
October 23, 1998. 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 23, 1998, at various locations in Alaska. See SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION for additional information on meetings.

ADDRESSES: You may submit written comments and proposals to the Office 
of Subsistence Management, 1011 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage, Alaska 99503.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chair, Federal Subsistence Board, c/o 
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Attention: Thomas H. Boyd, Office of 
Subsistence Management; (907) 786-3888. For questions specific to 
National Forest System lands, contact Ken Thompson, Regional 
Subsistence Program Manager, USDA, Forest Service, Alaska Region, (907) 
271-2540.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Meeting Locations and Written Comment Procedures

    The Federal Subsistence Board (Board) will hold meetings on this 
proposed rule at the following locations in Alaska:

Southeast Regional Council--Haines
Southcentral Regional Council--Anchorage
Kodiak/Aleutians Regional Council--King Cove
Bristol Bay Regional Council--Naknek
Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Regional Council--Kwigillingok
Western Interior Regional Council--Allakaket or Galena
Seward Peninsula Regional Council--Nome
Northwest Arctic Regional Council--Kotzebue
Eastern Interior Regional Council--Minto or Venetie
North Slope Regional Council--Barrow

    We will publish notice of specific dates, times, and meeting 
locations in local and statewide newspapers prior to the meetings. We 
may need to change locations and dates based on weather or local 
circumstances. The amount of work on each Regional Council's agenda 
will determine the length of the Regional Council meetings. We will 
compile and distribute for additional public review during early 
November 1998 the written proposals to change Subpart D hunting and 
trapping regulations and customary and traditional use determinations 
in Subpart C. A 30-day public comment period will follow distribution 
of the compiled proposal packet. Written public comments on distributed 
proposals will be accepted during the public comment period. You may 
present comments on published proposals to change hunting and trapping 
and customary and traditional use determination regulations to the 
Regional Councils at their winter meetings; locations, dates, and times 
to be announced. The 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 1999.
    Our review of your comments would be facilitated by your providing 
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 additional information you 
believe will be helpful to the Board in evaluating your proposal.

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

    You may submit written comments or proposed regulation changes in 
writing to the address identified at the beginning of this rulemaking 
by October 23, 1998. You may also present comments or proposals at 
Regional Council meetings to be held from September 9-October 23, 1998.
    The Board Will Not Consider Proposals for Changes Relating to Fish 
or Shellfish Regulations, and Changes to the Overall Program at This 
Time. Fish and shellfish regulations are currently extended through 
December 31, 1999, pending further development of a separate rulemaking 
process resulting from the consolidated ``Katie John'' litigation and 
petitions to the Secretaries regarding extended jurisdiction.
    Following public distribution of proposals for changes to the 1999-
2000 proposed regulations, we will provide a comment period to allow 
public review of those proposals that will be considered by the Board. 
We will also hold a second series of Regional Council meetings in 
February and March 1999, to assist the Regional Councils in developing 
recommendations to the Board. Submit written comments on proposals to 
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service before conclusion of the comment 
period which is presently scheduled to end on January 8, 1999. The 
Board will discuss and evaluate proposed changes to this rule during a 
public meeting scheduled to be held in Anchorage, April 1999. The 
public may provide additional oral testimony on specific proposals 
before the Board at that time.
    We also invite your comments on how to make this rule easier to 
understand, including answers to questions such as the following: (1) 
Are the requirements in the rule clearly stated? (2) Does the rule 
contain technical language or jargon that interferes with its clarity? 
(3) Does the format of the rule (grouping and order of sections, use of 
headings, paragraphing, etc.) aid or reduce its clarity? (4) Would the 
rule be easier to understand if it were divided into more (but shorter) 
sections? (A ``section'' appears in bold type and is preceded by the 
symbol ``Sec. '' and a numbered heading; for example, Sec. [______.24 
Customary and traditional determinations.]) (5) Is the description of 
the rule in the ``Supplementary Information'' section of the preamble 
helpful in understanding the rule? What else could we do to make the 
rule easier

[[Page 43991]]

to understand. Send a copy of any comments that concern how we could 
make this rule easier to understand to: Office of Regulatory Affairs, 
Department of the Interior, Room 7229, 1849 C Street, NW, Washington, 
DC 20240. You may also e-mail the comments to this address:

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, the Departments established a Federal Subsistence 
Board 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 rule and agree with 
its substance. Because this 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 (unless otherwise amended) 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. Therefore, all definitions located at 50 CFR Sec. 100.4 
and 36 CFR Sec. 242.4 apply to regulations found in this subpart.

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 
these 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'' litigation, a petition to the Secretaries 
of the Interior and Agriculture addressing jurisdiction in navigable 
waters, and activities in the State Legislature, 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.

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 242.11 (1992) and 50 CFR 100 (1992), and for the purposes 
identified therein, we divide Alaska 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 pubic 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 1999.

Proposed Changes From 1998-1999 Seasons and Bag Limit Regulations

    Subpart D regulations are subject to an annual cycle and require 
development of an entire new rule each 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, 1999, unless elements are 
changed by subsequent Board action following the public review process 
outlined herein.
    The text of the 1998-1999 Subparts C and D Final Rule served as the 
foundation for the 1999-2000 Subparts C and D proposed rule. We have 
reworded much of the text to improve readability.

Conformance With Statutory and Regulatory Authorities

National Environmental Policy Act Compliance

    The Departments distributed a Draft Environmental Impact Statement 
(DEIS) that described four alternatives for developing a Federal 
Subsistence Management Program 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

[[Page 43992]]

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 
Departments published a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) 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, the Secretary of 
the Interior, with the concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture, 
through the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Forest Service, decided 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) 
implemented the Federal Subsistence Management Program and included 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. As part of the FEIS process, we completed a Section 810 
analysis. The final Section 810 analysis determination appeared 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 the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. They apply to the use of public lands in Alaska. 
The information collection requirements described below have been 
approved by OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501 and have been assigned clearance 
number 1018-0075, which expires 5/31/2000. The Board may not conduct or 
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a current OMB control number.
    We will achieve the collection of information 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, D.C. 20240; and 
the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project 
(Subsistence), Washington, D.C. 20503. The Board may impose additional 
information collection requirements if Local Advisory Committees 
subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act are established under 
Subpart B.

Economic Effects

    This rule is not subject to OMB review under Executive Order 12866. 
Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations that 
are easy to understand.
    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) 
requires the 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. Therrefore, these 
regulations have no potential takings of private property implications 
as defined by Executive Order 12630.
    The Service has determined and certifies 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. The implementation of this rule 
is by Federal agencies and there is no cost imposed on any State or 
local entities or tribal governments.
    The Service has determined that these regulations meet the 
applicable standards provided in Sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive 
Order 12988.
    In accordance with Executive Order 12612, the rule does not have 
sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a 
Federalism Assessment. Title VIII of ANILCA specifically provides for 
Federal management of a subsistence priority for fish and wildlife 
resources on Federal lands.

    2. In Subpart C of 36 CFR part 242 and 50 CFR part 100, 
Sec. ______.24 is proposed to be revised to read as follows:


Sec. ______.24  Customary and traditional use determinations.

    (a) The Federal Subsistence Board has determined that rural Alaska 
residents of the listed communities and areas have customary and 
traditional subsistence use of the specified species on Federal public 
lands in the specified areas. When there is a determination for 
specific communities or areas of residence in a Unit, all other 
communities not listed for that species in that Unit have no Federal 
subsistence for that species in that Unit. If no determination has been 
made for a species in a Unit, all rural Alaska residents are eligible 
to harvest fish or wildlife under this part.
    (1) Wildlife determinations.

    (xvii) Taking a bear cub or a sow accompanied by cub(s).
    (2) Wildlife taken in defense of life or property is not a

or portion of a Unit, if your total take of that species 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

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

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.

restricted to one sex in the local area, you may not 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, you may not possess or transport the moose 
carcass or its parts unless both antlers accompany the carcass or its 
parts. If you possess a set of antlers with less than the required 
number of brow tines on one antler, you must leave the antlers 
naturally attached to the unbroken, uncut skull plate; however, this 
paragraph (c)(10)(iii) does not apply to a moose carcass or its parts

need not be sealed unless removed from the area.
    (3) You must keep a bear 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

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
