Migratory Bird Permits; Administrative Updates

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: On January 7, 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
(Service) published a final rule to renumber, rename, and rearrange 
certain subparts and sections in our regulations. In that rule, we 
incorrectly presented an amendatory instruction, which prevented the 
complete codification of the regulatory text we set forth for one 
section of the regulations. In this document, we correctly set forth 
the

amendatory instruction and the relevant regulatory text. This technical 
amendment is a purely administrative action; it simply corrects one 
amendatory instruction to codify regulations we previously published in 
our January 7, 2022, final rule.

DATES: This rule is effective November 2, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerome Ford, Assistant Director--
Migratory Birds Program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, telephone: 
703-358-2606, email: [email protected]. Individuals in the United States 
who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability 
may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications 
relay services. Individuals outside the United States should use the 
relay services offered within their country to make international calls 
to the point-of-contact in the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the 
Federal agency delegated with the primary responsibility for managing 
migratory birds. Our authority derives from the Migratory Bird Treaty 
Act of 1918, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq. (MBTA) and the Bald and 
Golden Eagle Protection Act, 16 U.S.C. 668 et seq. (Eagle Act). 
Regulations pertaining to migratory bird permits are set forth at 50 
CFR part 21. Regulations pertaining to eagle permits are set forth at 
50 CFR part 22.
    The regulations at 50 CFR parts 21 and 22 were established in 1974. 
Since 1974, we have published many rules to add, revise, or remove 
portions of these regulations. On January 7, 2022, we published a final 
rule (87 FR 876) to renumber, rename, and rearrange certain subparts 
and sections in parts 21 and 22 of subchapter B of chapter I, title 50 
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
    The January 7, 2022, final rule also updated applicable Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control numbers to provide the currently 
approved OMB control numbers for the information collection 
requirements in 50 CFR parts 21 and 22. These updates provide a 
consistent approach to the presentation of this information in our 
regulations and, for those affected sections, streamline our 
regulations to codify only the information needed to notify the public 
that the information collection requirements are approved by OMB.
    In the January 7, 2022, final rule (87 FR 876), we set forth 
information collection requirements at a new paragraph (g) of 50 CFR 
21.168 (``Public health control order for resident Canada geese.''; see 
87 FR 883), but our relevant amendatory instruction neglected to 
instruct the Office of the Federal Register to ``add'' that new 
paragraph. Therefore, the new paragraph was not codified when the 
January 7, 2022, final rule became effective. With this document, we 
add paragraph (g) to 50 CFR 21.168 with the same text presented in the 
January 7, 2022, final rule.

List of Subjects in 50 CFR Part 21

    Exports, Hunting, Imports, Reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements, Transportation, Wildlife.

and Budget (OMB) has approved the information collection requirements

not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number. Direct comments 
regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of the information 
collection to the Service's Information Collection Clearance Officer at 
the address provided at 50 CFR 2.1(b).
