SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 22, 2018, the National Park Service
(NPS) published in the Federal Register (83 FR 23621) a proposed rule
to amend its regulations for sport hunting and trapping in National
Preserves in Alaska. This proposed rule would remove a regulatory
provision issued by the NPS in 2015 that prohibited certain sport
hunting practices that are otherwise permitted by the State of Alaska.
These proposed changes are consistent with Secretary of the Interior
Orders 3347 and 3356. The public comment period for this proposal is
scheduled to close on September 6, 2018. In order to give the public
additional time to review and comment on the proposal, the NPS is
extending the public comment period until Monday November 5, 2018. This
date matches the deadline to submit comments on the related
Environmental Assessment. Comments previously submitted on the proposed
rule need not be resubmitted, as they will be fully considered in
preparing the final rule.

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary--Water and Science Exercising the
Authority of the Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks.
