Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska, 
Subparts A, B, C, and D, Redefinition to Include Waters Subject to 
Subsistence Priority; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects Sections 50 CFR 100.24 and 36 CFR 
242.24 of the Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in 
Alaska, Subparts A, B, C, and D, Redefinition to Include Waters Subject 
to Subsistence Priority that was published in the Federal Register of 
January 8, 1999, to include updated material which was inadvertently 
omitted. This document also corrects the effective dates for 36 CFR 
242.26 and 242.27 and 50 CFR 100.26 and 100.27.

DATES: This correction to 36 CFR 242.24 and 50 CFR 100.24 is effective 
October 1, 1999. The effective dates for 36 CFR 242.26 and 242.27 and 
50 CFR 100.26 and 100.27 are corrected to be October 1, 1999 through 
February 28, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chair, Federal Subsistence Board, c/o 
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Thomas H. Boyd, (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: On January 8, 1999, the Secretaries of the 
Interior and Agriculture published a Final Rule in the Federal Register 
(64 FR 1276) that extended jurisdiction for providing subsistence 
priority to rural Alaskans for harvesting fish in waters where there is 
a Federal reservedwater right. In that document, an outdated version of 
Section ________.24(a)(1) was inadvertently used. The Federal 
Subsistence Board, which has been delegated authority to promulgate 
regulations in subparts C and D, has also corrected the wording of 
Section ________.24(a) introductory text. This document corrects 
Sections ________.24(a) introductory text and ________.24(a)(1).
    Because this rule relates to public lands managed by an agency or 
agencies in both the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior, 
identical text is incorporated into 36 CFR Part 242 and 50 CFR Part 
100.

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) implemented the Federal Subsistence Management 
Program and included a framework for an annual cycle for subsistence 
hunting and fishing regulations.
    An environmental assessment has been prepared on the expansion of 
Federal jurisdiction over fisheries and is available by contacting the 
office listed under ``For Further Information Contact.'' The Secretary 
of the Interior with the concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture 
has determined that the expansion of Federal jurisdiction does not 
constitute a major Federal action, significantly effecting the human 
environment and has, therefore, signed a Finding of No Significant 
Impact.

Compliance with Section 810 of ANILCA

    A Section 810 analysis was completed as part of the FEIS process on 
the Federal Subsistence Management Program. 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. 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.
    During the environmental assessment process, an evaluation of the 
effects of this rule was also conducted in accordance with Section 810. 
This evaluation supports the Secretaries' determination that the Final 
Rule will not reach the ``may significantly restrict'' threshold for 
notice and hearings under ANILCA Section 810(a) for any subsistence 
resources or 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. It applies to the use of public lands in Alaska. 
The information collection requirements are a revision of the 
collection requirements already approved by OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501 
and have been assigned clearance number 1018-0075, which expires 5/31/
2000. This revision was submitted to OMB for approval. A comment period 
was open on OMB

[[Page 35822]]

collection requirements and no comments were received.
    Currently, information is being collected by the use of a Federal 
Subsistence Registration Permit and Designated Hunter Application. The 
information collected on these two permits establishes whether an 
applicant qualifies to participate in a Federal subsistence hunt on 
public land in Alaska and provides a report of harvest and the location 
of harvest. The collected information is necessary to determine harvest 
success, harvest location, and population health in order to make 
management decisions relative to the conservation of healthy wildlife 
populations. Additional harvest information is obtained from harvest 
reports submitted to the State of Alaska. The recordkeeping burden for 
this aspect of the program is negligible (one hour or less). This 
information is accessed via computer data base. The current overall 
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 the existing rule is 
less than 5,000, yielding a total annual reporting and recordkeeping 
burden of 1,250 hours or less.
    The collection of information under this Final Rule will be 
achieved through the use of a Federal Subsistence Registration Permit 
Application, which would be the same form as currently approved and 
used for the hunting program. This information will establish whether 
the applicant qualifies to participate in a Federal subsistence fishery 
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 
fisheries 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 fish 
populations. The annual burden of reporting and recordkeeping is 
estimated to average 0.50 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 10,000, yielding a total annual reporting 
and recordkeeping burden of 5,000 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. Additional information 
collection requirements may be imposed if Local Advisory Committees 
subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act are established under 
Subpart B.
    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.

Clarity of the Rule

    Executive Order 12866 requires each agency to write regulations 
that are easy to understand. We 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 to understand? Send a copy of any 
comments that concern how we could make this rule easier to understand 
to: USFWS, Office of Subsistence Management, Thomas H. Boyd, 1011 E. 
Tudor Road, Anchorage, Alaska 99503.

Other Requirements

    This rule was not subject to OMB review under Executive Order 
12866.
    This rulemaking will impose no significant costs on small entities; 
this Final Rule does not restrict any existing sport or commercial 
fishery on the public lands and subsistence fisheries will continue at 
essentially the same levels as they presently occur. 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, fishing tackle, 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 to be harvested under this rule are 
already being harvested and consumed by the local harvester and do not 
result in an additional dollar benefit to the economy. However, it is 
estimated that 24 million pounds of fish (including 8.3 million pounds 
of salmon) are harvested by subsistence users annually and, if given an 
estimated dollar value of $3.00 per pound for salmon and $0.58 per 
pound for other fish, would equate to about $34 million in food value 
state-wide.
    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 based on the above figures 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.
    The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et 
seq.) requires that before a rule can take effect, copies of the rule 
and other documents must be sent to the U.S. House and U.S. Senate and 
establishes a means for Congress to disapprove the rulemaking. The 
Departments have determined that this rulemaking is not a major rule 
under the Act, and thus the effective date of the rule is not 
additionally delayed unless Congress takes additional action.
    Title VIII of ANILCA requires the Secretaries to administer a 
subsistence priority 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 Secretaries 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. 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 Secretaries have determined that these final regulations meet 
the

[[Page 35823]]

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 precludes the State from 
exercising subsistence management authority over fish and wildlife 
resources on Federal lands unless it meets certain requirements.
    In accordance with the President's memorandum of April 29, 1994, 
``Government-to-Government Relations with Native American Tribal 
Governments'' (59 FR 22951) and 512 DM 2, we have evaluated possible 
effects on Federally recognized Indian tribes and have determined that 
there are no effects. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is a participating 
agency in this rulemaking.

the guidance of Thomas H. Boyd, of the Office of Subsistence 
Management, Alaska Regional Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 
Anchorage, Alaska. Peggy Fox, Alaska State Office, Bureau of Land 
Management; Sandy Rabinowitch, Alaska Regional Office, National Park 
Service; Ida Hildebrand, Alaska Area Office, Bureau of Indian Affairs;

PART SUBSISTENCE MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS FOR PUBLIC LANDS IN ALASKA 
[CORRECTED]

    1. On page 1294, beginning in column 2, correct paragraphs (a) 
introductory text and (a)(1) of 36 CFR 242.24 and 50 CFR 100.24, 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, areas, and individuals have 
customary and traditional use of the specified species on Federal 
public land in the specified areas. Persons granted individual 
customary and traditional use determinations will be notified in 
writing by the Board. The Fish and Wildlife Service and the local NPS 
Superintendent will maintain the list of individuals having customary 
and traditional use on National Parks and Monuments. A copy of the list 
is available upon request. 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.
