Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Marine and 
Anadromous Taxa: Additions, Removal, Updates, and Corrections to the 
List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are amending 
the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife (List) by adding several 
marine taxa, removing one species, and revising the entries of many 
more in accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended 
(Act). These amendments are based on previously published 
determinations by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) of the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of 
Commerce, which has jurisdiction for these species.

DATES: This rule is effective July 23, 2014. For the applicability date 
for the status of newly listed taxa, see the individual species 
documents referenced in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Franz, 703-358-2171.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In accordance with the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and 
Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970 (35 FR 15627; October 6, 1970), NMFS 
has jurisdiction over the marine and anadromous taxa specified in this 
rule. Under section 4(a)(2) of the Act, NMFS must decide whether a 
species under its jurisdiction should be classified as endangered or 
threatened. NMFS makes these determinations via its rulemaking process. 
We, the Service, are then responsible for publishing final rules to 
amend the List in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 
17.11(h).
    As described below and set forth at the table in the rule portion 
of this document, NMFS has published rules regarding each of the 
species mentioned in this rule. Section 4(a)(2)(A) applies to all of 
the rules except that for the Steller sea lion (Eastern DPS); with 
respect to those rules, by publishing this final rule,

[[Page 42688]]

we are simply taking the necessary administrative step to codify these 
changes in the CFR 4(a)(2)(B) applies to the NMFS's recommendation to 
delist the Steller sea lion (Eastern DPS); we have concurred with 
NMFS's recommendation, and this rule implements that action. In the 
lists below, DPS stands for distinct population segment, ESU stands for 
evolutionarily significant unit, and XN stands for nonessential 
experimental population.

Listings

    We are adding the following 16 species to the List based on NMFS 
final rules:

 Steelhead (Middle Columbia River DPS), designation of 
nonessential experimental population (XN) (78 FR 2893; January 15, 
2013)
 Seal, bearded (Beringia DPS), as threatened (77 FR 76740; 
December 28, 2012)
 Seal, bearded (Okhotsk DPS), as threatened (77 FR 76740; 
December 28, 2012)
 Seal, ringed (Arctic subspecies), as threatened (77 FR 76706; 
December 28, 2012)
 Seal, ringed (Baltic subspecies), as threatened (77 FR 76706; 
December 28, 2012)
 Seal, ringed (Ladoga subspecies), as endangered (77 FR 76706; 
December 28, 2012)
 Seal, ringed (Okhotsk subspecies), as threatened (77 FR 76706; 
December 28, 2012)
 Whale, false killer (Main Hawaiian Islands Insular DPS), as 
endangered (77 FR 70915; November 28, 2012)
 Salmon, coho (Central California Coast ESU), reaffirmed as 
endangered but with range extension (77 FR 19552; April 2, 2012)
 Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic subspecies; Carolina DPS), as 
endangered (77 FR 5914; February 6, 2012)
 Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic subspecies; Chesapeake Bay DPS), 
as endangered (77 FR 5880; February 6, 2012)
 Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic subspecies; Gulf of Maine DPS), 
as threatened (77 FR 5880; February 6, 2012)
 Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic subspecies; New York Bight DPS), 
as endangered (77 FR 5880; February 6, 2012)
 Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic subspecies; South Atlantic DPS), 
as endangered (77 FR 5914; February 6, 2012)
 Sawfish, largetooth, as endangered (76 FR 40822; July 12, 
2011)
 Salmon, coho (Oregon Coast ESU), as threatened with critical 
habitat (76 FR 35755; June 20, 2011) reaffirming listing (73 FR 7816; 
February 11, 2008)

    Please note: The Oregon Coast coho salmon ESU was listed on August 
10, 1998, as threatened (63 FR 42587), but in 2001, the U.S. District 
Court in Eugene, Oregon, set aside that listing (Alsea Valley Alliance 
v. Evans, 161 F. Supp 2d 1154, (D. Or. 2001)). On February 11, 2008, 
NMFS listed the Oregon Coast coho salmon ESU as threatened, issued 
protective regulations under section 4(d) of the Act (known as a 4(d) 
rule), and designated critical habitat (73 FR 7816). As a result of 
another court challenge (Douglas County v. Balsiger (Civ. No. 08-1547; 
D. Or. 2008)), NMFS reached a settlement with the litigants and agreed 
to conduct another status review of the ESU. After conducting the 
additional status review, NMFS affirmed the status for this ESU by 
promulgating a rule to supersede its February 11, 2008, listing 
determination (76 FR 35755; June 20, 2011).

Delisting

    We are removing the following species from the List based on a NMFS 
final rule:

 Sea lion, Steller (Eastern DPS) (78 FR 66140; November 4, 
2013)

Critical Habitat

    We are adding critical habitat to the following species based on a 
NMFS final rule:

 Abalone, black (76 FR 66806; October 27, 2011)
 Eulachon, Pacific (Southern DPS) (76 FR 65324; October 20, 
2011)
 Whale, beluga (Cook Inlet DPS) (76 FR 20180; April 11, 2011)

We are updating 42 entries on the List by referencing the respective 
NMFS Lists at 50 CFR 223.102 or 50 CFR 224.101 in the ``Vertebrate

notices; grouping change; corrections to the ``Vertebrate population 
where endangered or threatened'' column where previously ``NA'' was 
used in error; and, additions

[[Page 42689]]

``NA'' was used or the rule was not included. Below are the marine taxa 
for which updates are being applied:

Changes to Common Names

    We are changing the presentation of the common names of the 
following species to conform with the way that NMFS refers to these 
species:

     ``Dolphin, Indus River'' will now appear on the List as 
``Dolphin, South Asian River (Indus River subspecies).''
     ``Eulachon, Pacific (Southern DPS)'' will now appear on 
the List as ``Eulachon (Southern DPS).''
     ``Sea-lion, Steller'' will now appear on the List as ``Sea 
lion, Steller (Western DPS).''
     ``Seal, Saimaa'' will now appear on the List as ``Seal, 
ringed (Saimaa subspecies).''
     ``Sturgeon, Gulf'' will now appear on the List as 
``Sturgeon, Atlantic (Gulf subspecies).''
     ``Sturgeon, North American green (Southern DPS)'' will now 
appear on the List as ``Sturgeon, green (Southern DPS).''
     ``Sturgeon, white'' will now appear on the List as 
``Sturgeon, white (Kootenai River DPS).''

Administrative Procedure Act

    Because NMFS provided a public comment period on each of the 
proposed rules for these taxa, we find good cause that the notice and 
public comment procedures of 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary for this 
action. We also find good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make this 
rule effective immediately under publication. The NMFS rules extended 
protection under the Act to these species and listed them in 50 CFR 
parts 223 and 224 or designated critical habitat under 50 CFR part 226; 
this rule is an administrative action to add the species to or update 
their status on the List in 50 CFR 17.11(h). The public would not be 
served by delaying the effective date of this rulemaking action.

Required Determinations

National Environmental Policy Act

    We have determined that an environmental assessment, as defined 
under the authority of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
need not be prepared in connection with regulations adopted pursuant to 
section 4(a) of the Act. We outlined our reasons for this determination 
in the Federal Register on October 25, 1983 (48 FR 49244).

Paperwork Reduction Act

    We have examined this regulation under the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 and found it to contain no information collection requirements. 
We may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, 
a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office 
of Management and Budget control number.
