Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska--
Applicability and Scope; Tongass National Forest Submerged Lands

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: To comply with a court order, the Secretaries, through the 
Federal Subsistence Board (Board), initiated regulatory proceedings to 
identify those submerged lands within the Tongass National Forest that 
did not pass to the State of Alaska at statehood and, therefore, remain 
Federal public lands subject to Federal subsistence provisions. This 
rule adds to the list of submerged parcels in the Federal subsistence 
regulations that have been identified through agency review. The 
purpose of this rule is to complete regulatory proceedings addressing 
submerged public lands within the Tongass National Forest, as directed 
by the Court, and will result in increased subsistence harvest 
opportunities for rural Alaskans. This final rule will also make 
nonsubstantive changes to present the list of submerged parcels in a 
tabular format.

DATES: This rule is effective April 3, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Information regarding this final rule, including the Board 
meeting transcripts, are available for review at the Office of 
Subsistence Management, 1011 East Tudor Road, Mail Stop 121, Anchorage, 
AK 99503, or on the Office of Subsistence Management website (https://www.doi.gov/subsistence/board).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation 
Act (ANILCA) (16 U.S.C. 3111-3126), the Secretary of the Interior and 
the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretaries) jointly implement the 
Federal Subsistence Management Program (Program). The Program provides 
a preference for take of fish and wildlife resources for subsistence 
uses by rural residents on Federal public lands and waters in Alaska. 
The Secretaries published temporary regulations to carry out the 
Program in the Federal Register on June 29, 1990 (55 FR 27114), and 
published final regulations in the Federal Register on May 29, 1992 (57 
FR 22940). These regulations have subsequently been amended a number of 
times. Because the Program is a joint effort between Interior and 
Agriculture, these regulations are located in two titles of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR): Title 36, ``Parks, Forests, and Public 
Property,'' and Title 50, ``Wildlife and Fisheries,'' at 36 CFR 242.1-
242.28 and 50 CFR 100.1-100.28,

[[Page 22950]]

respectively. The regulations contain subparts as follows: Subpart A, 
General Provisions; Subpart B, Program Structure; Subpart C, Board 
Determinations; and Subpart D, Subsistence Taking of Fish and Wildlife.
    Consistent with subpart B of these regulations, the Secretaries 
established a Federal Subsistence Board (Board) to administer the 
Program. The Board comprises:
     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, National Park Service;
     The Alaska State Director, Bureau of Land Management;
     The Alaska Regional Director, Bureau of Indian Affairs;
     The Alaska Regional Forester, USDA Forest Service; and
     Two public members appointed by the Secretary of the 
Interior with concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture.
    Through the Board, these agencies participate in the development of 
regulations for subparts C and D, which, among other things, set forth 
Program eligibility and specific harvest seasons and limits.
    In administering the Program, the Secretaries divided Alaska into 
10 subsistence resource regions, each of which is represented by a 
Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Council (Council). The 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 Federal public lands in 
Alaska. The Council members represent varied geographical, cultural, 
and user interests within each region.

Jurisdictional Background and Perspective

    The U.S. District Court for Alaska (Court) in its October 17, 2011, 
order in Peratrovich et al. v. United States and the State of Alaska, 
3:92-cv-0734-HRH (D. Alaska), enjoined the United States ``to promptly 
initiate regulatory proceedings for the purpose of implementing the 
subsistence provisions in Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest 
Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) with respect to submerged public lands 
within Tongass National Forest'' and directed entry of judgment. The 
Peratrovich case dates to 1992 and has a long and involved procedural 
history. The plaintiffs in that litigation raised the question of which 
marine waters in the Tongass National Forest, if any, are subject to 
the jurisdiction of the Federal Subsistence Management Program. In its 
May 31, 2011, order, the Court stated that ``it is the duty of the 
Secretaries [Agriculture & Interior] to identify any submerged lands 
(and the marine waters overlying them) within the Tongass National 
Forest to which the United States holds title.'' It also stated that, 
if such title exists, it ``creates an interest in [the overlying] 
waters sufficient to make those marine waters public lands for purposes 
of [the subsistence provisions] of ANILCA.''
    Most of the marine waters within the Tongass National Forest were 
not initially identified in the regulations as public lands subject to 
the subsistence priority, initially based upon a determination that the 
submerged lands were State lands, and later through reliance upon a 
disclaimer of interest filed by the United States in Alaska v. United 
States, No. 128 Orig., 546 U.S. 413 (2006). In that case, the State of 
Alaska had sought to quiet title to all lands underlying marine waters 
in southeast Alaska, which includes most of the Tongass National 
Forest. Ultimately, the United States disclaimed ownership to most of 
the submerged lands in the Tongass National Forest. The Supreme Court 
accepted the disclaimer by the United States to title to the marine 
waters within the Tongass National Forest, excepting from that 
disclaimer several classes of submerged public lands that generally 
involve small tracts (see Alaska v. United States, 546 U.S. at 415).
    When the United States took over subsistence management in Alaska 
in 1990 and promulgated the temporary regulations, the Departments of 
the Interior and Agriculture stated in response to comments on the 
scope of the program that ``[t]he United States generally does not hold 
title to navigable waters and thus navigable waters generally are not 
included within the definition of public lands'' (55 FR 27114 at 27115; 
June 29, 1990). That position was changed in 1999 when the subsistence 
priority was extended to inland waters subject to a Federal reserved 
water right following the Katie John litigation. While locating these 
inland waters, the Board also identified certain submerged marine lands 
that did not pass to the State and, therefore, were subject to the 
subsistence priority. However, the Board did not attempt to identify 
every small parcel of submerged public lands and associated marine 
waters possibly subject to the Program because of the potentially 
overwhelming administrative burden. Instead, the Board invited the 
public to petition to have submerged marine lands included. Over the 
years, several small areas of submerged marine lands in the Tongass 
National Forest have been identified as public lands subject to the 
subsistence priority.
    In its May 31, 2011, order, the Court in the Peratrovich case 
stated that the petition process was not sufficient and found that 
``concerns about costs and management problems simply cannot trump the 
congressional policy that the subsistence lifestyle of rural Alaskans 
be preserved as to public lands.'' The Court acknowledged in its order 
that inventorying all these lands could be an expensive undertaking, 
but that it is a burden ``necessitated by the `complicated regulatory 
scheme' which has resulted from the inability of the State of Alaska to 
implement Title VIII of ANILCA.'' The Court then enjoined the United 
States ``to promptly initiate regulatory proceedings for the purpose of 
implementing the subsistence provisions in Title VIII of ANILCA with 
respect to submerged public lands within Tongass National Forest'' and 
directed entry of judgment.
    Following the Court's decision, the Departments published a notice 
in the Federal Register (77 FR 33391; June 6, 2012) announcing the 
initiation of reviews of pre-statehood withdrawals and reservation in 
the Tongass National Forest. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and 
the USDA-Forest Service (USDA-FS) started a review of hundreds of 
potential pre-statehood (January 3, 1959) withdrawals in the marine 
waters of the Tongass National Forest. These reviews included dock 
sites, log transfer sites, and other areas that may not have passed to 
the State at statehood. On June 8, 2016, the Departments published a 
proposed rule in the Federal Register (81 FR 36836) that listed the 
initial findings identifying pre-statehood withdrawals, and on May 23, 
2018, the Departments published a final rule (83 FR 23813) to revise 
the subsistence management regulations to add those submerged parcels. 
The Departments published another proposed rule on May 12, 2022 (87 FR 
29061), with the intent to complete regulatory proceedings addressing 
submerged public lands within the Tongass National Forest as directed 
by the Court. This rule will complete those proceedings.

Current Rule

    The Departments published a proposed rule on May 12, 2022 (87 FR 
29061), to amend the applicability and scope section of subpart A of 36 
CFR part 242 and 50 CFR part 100 and to

[[Page 22951]]

complete the actions on the Tongass National Forest submerged lands. 
The proposed rule opened a comment period, which closed on August 10, 
2022, and announced public meetings to be held in several different 
locations throughout the State. The Departments advertised the proposed 
rule by mail, email, web page, social media, radio, and newspaper, and 
comments were submitted via https://www.regulations.gov to Docket No. 
FWS-R7-SM-2018-0013. The Councils received public comments on the 
proposed rule during their public meetings. The Councils had an 
opportunity to review the proposed rule and make recommendations to the 
Board for the final rule as described in more detail below.
    The Board held a public meeting on January 31 through February 3, 
2023. All briefings and documents presented to the Board were available 
to the public at https://www.doi.gov/subsistence, and the meeting was 
advertised by mail, email, web page, social media, radio, and 
newspaper. After a briefing and deliberation, the Board decided on the 
following recommendation to the Secretaries: ``The Federal Subsistence 
Board recommends to the Secretaries that the lands listed in the 
proposed rule of May 12, 2022 (87 FR 29061), be included in the 
Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska (36 CFR 
[part] 242 and 50 CFR [part] 100) for the purpose of implementing the 
subsistence provisions in Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest 
Lands Conservation Act.''
    These final regulations reflect the Board's recommendation to the 
Secretaries after review and consideration of Council recommendations, 
Tribal and Alaska Native corporation consultations, and public 
comments. The public received extensive opportunity to review and 
comment on all changes.

Summary of Comments Received and Responses

    The Board did not receive any public comments that directly pertain 
to the primary issue of this rulemaking action. The Southeast Alaska 
Council did not object to these lands coming under Federal subsistence 
jurisdiction after maps were provided by the USDA-FS, as had been 
previously requested. The Southcentral Alaska, Kodiak/Aleutians, 
Bristol Bay, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Western Interior Alaska, Seward 
Peninsula, Eastern Interior Alaska, and North Slope Councils had no 
comments and took no actions. The Kodiak/Aleutian Council requested 
that the Councils and the public be notified when the final rule has 
been published and that this information be posted on the Program's 
website.
    Tribal consultation was offered statewide. No tribal entity 
requested specific consultation and no comments were offered via 
correspondence, during public hearings, or during consultations on 
different issues.

Summary of Changes From the Proposed Rule

    Following publication of the proposed rule, the USDA-FS 
cartographer reviewed the table of geographic areas in the proposed 
rule and noted the following duplicate entries:
     High Point, Woronkofski Island;
     Key Reef, Clarence Strait;
     Lyman Point, Clarence Strait;
     Ship Island, Clarence Strait; and
     Point Hilda, Stephens Passage, Douglas Island.
    Accordingly, in this final rule, we have corrected the table of 
geographic areas by removing those duplicate entries.
    Additionally, the latitude information for Lyman Point and Clarence 
Strait was also revised because the original latitude was inaccurate.
    Because this rule concerns public lands managed by an agency or 
agencies in both the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior, 
identical text will be incorporated into 36 CFR part 242 and 50 CFR 
part 100.

Compliance With Statutory and Regulatory Authorities

Administrative Procedure Act

    The Departments, through the Board, have provided extensive 
opportunity for public input and involvement in compliance with 
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.) requirements, 
including publishing a proposed rule in the Federal Register, 
participation in multiple Council meetings, additional public review 
and comment on all proposals for regulatory change, and an opportunity 
for additional public comment before the Board deliberated on its 
recommendation to the Secretaries. Therefore, the Departments believe 
that all affected persons have been given sufficient public notice and 
opportunity for involvement on the Board's recommendation and the final 
rule.
    In the more than 30 years that the Program has been operating, 
there has never been a benefit to the public by delaying the effective 
date of the subsistence regulations. A lapse in regulatory control can 
affect the continued viability of fish or wildlife populations and 
future subsistence opportunities for rural Alaskans and would generally 
fail to serve the overall public interest. Therefore, the Departments 
finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make this rule 
effective upon the date set forth in DATES to ensure continued 
operation of the Program.

National Environmental Policy Act

    A draft environmental impact statement that described four 
alternatives for developing a Federal Subsistence Management Program 
was distributed for public comment on October 7, 1991. The final 
environmental impact statement (FEIS) was published on February 28, 
1992. The Record of Decision (ROD) on Subsistence Management for 
Federal Public Lands in Alaska was signed April 6, 1992. The selected 
alternative in the FEIS (Alternative IV) defined the administrative 
framework of an annual regulatory cycle for subsistence regulations.

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

    A 1997 environmental assessment dealt with the expansion of Federal 
jurisdiction over fisheries and is available at the office listed under 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. The Secretary of the Interior, with 
concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture, determined that expansion 
of Federal jurisdiction does not constitute a major Federal action 
significantly affecting the human environment and, therefore, signed a 
Finding of No Significant Impact.

Section 810 of ANILCA

    An ANILCA section 810 analysis was completed as part of the FEIS 
process on the Federal Subsistence Management Program in the early 
1990s. 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 and concluded that the Program, under 
Alternative IV with an annual process for setting subsistence 
regulations, may have some local impacts on subsistence uses, but will 
not likely restrict subsistence uses significantly.
    In accordance with ANILCA section 810, an environmental assessment 
was prepared in 1997 on the expansion of Federal jurisdiction over 
fisheries. That evaluation also supported the Secretaries' 
determination that the rule will not reach the ``may significantly 
restrict'' threshold that would require notice and hearings under 
ANILCA section 810(a).

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    An agency 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 (OMB) control number. This rule 
does not contain any new collections of information that require OMB 
approval. OMB has reviewed and approved the collections of information 
associated with the subsistence regulations at 36 CFR part 242 and 50 
CFR part 100, and

[[Page 22953]]

assigned OMB Control Number 1018-0075, which expires January 31, 2024 
(in accordance with regulations at 5 CFR 1320, the Services are 
authorized to continue sponsoring the collection while the submission 
is pending at OMB).

Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 
14904)

    Executive Order 12866, as reaffirmed by E.O. 13563 and E.O. 14094 
provides that the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) 
in the Office of Management and Budget will review all significant 
rules. OIRA has determined that this rule is not significant.
    Executive Order 14094 reaffirms the principles of E.O. 12866 and 
E.O. 13563 and states that regulatory analysis should facilitate agency 
efforts to develop regulations that serve the public interest, advance 
statutory objectives, and are consistent with E.O. 12866, E.O. 13563, 
and the Presidential Memorandum of January 20, 2021 (Modernizing 
Regulatory Review). E.O. 13563 emphasizes further that regulations must 
be based on the best available science and that the rulemaking process 
must allow for public participation and an open exchange of ideas. We 
have developed this rule in a manner consistent with these 
requirements.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) 
requires preparation of regulatory 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. 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, we estimate that two million pounds of meat are 
harvested by subsistence users annually and, if given an estimated 
dollar value of $3.00 per pound, this amount would equate to about $6 
million in food value Statewide. Based upon the amounts and values 
cited above, the Departments certify 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.

Congressional Review Act

    Under the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 804(2)), this rule is 
not a major rule. It does not have an effect on the economy of $100 
million or more, will not cause a major increase in costs or prices for 
consumers, and does not have significant adverse effects on 
competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the 
ability of U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based 
enterprises.

Takings (Executive Order 12630)

    Title VIII of ANILCA requires the Secretaries to administer a 
subsistence priority on public lands. The scope of the 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.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Secretaries have determined and certify pursuant to the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform 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.

Civil Justice Reform (Executive Order 12988)

    The Secretaries have determined that these regulations meet the 
applicable standards provided in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of E.O. 
12988, regarding civil justice reform.

Federalism (Executive Order 13132)

    In accordance with E.O. 13132, this rule does not have sufficient 
federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism 
summary impact statement. 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.

Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments (Executive 
Order 13175)

    The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, Title VIII, 
does not provide specific rights to tribes for the subsistence taking 
of wildlife, fish, and shellfish. However, the Departments, through the 
Board, provided Federally recognized Tribes and Alaska Native 
corporations opportunities to consult on this rule. Consultation with 
Alaska Native corporations are based on Public Law 108-199, div. H, 
Sec. 161, Jan. 23, 2004, 118 Stat. 452, as amended by Public Law 108-
447, div. H, title V, Sec. 518, Dec. 8, 2004, 118 Stat. 3267, which 
provides that: ``The Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
and all Federal agencies shall hereafter consult with Alaska Native 
corporations on the same basis as Indian tribes under Executive Order 
No. 13175.''
    The Secretaries, through the Board, provided a variety of 
opportunities for consultation: commenting on proposed changes to the 
existing rule; engaging in dialogue at the Council meetings; engaging 
in dialogue at the Board's meetings; and providing input in person, by 
mail, email, or phone at any time during the rulemaking process.
    The Board provided Federally recognized Tribes and Alaska Native 
corporations a specific opportunity to consult on this rule prior to 
the start of its public regulatory meeting held during January and 
February 2023. Federally recognized Tribes and Alaska Native 
corporations were notified by mail, email, and telephone and were given 
the opportunity to attend in person or via teleconference.

Energy Supply, Distribution or Use (Executive Order 13211)

    Executive Order 13211 requires agencies to prepare Statements of 
Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. However, this rule is 
not a significant regulatory action under E.O. 13211, affecting energy 
supply, distribution, or use, and no Statement of Energy Effects is 
required.

Drafting Information

    Theo Matuskowitz drafted these regulations under the guidance of 
Amee Howard, Assistant Regional Director, Office of Subsistence 
Management, Alaska Regional Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
