1231. NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS: TYPE B PROCEDURES
Priority: Other Significant. Major status under 5 USC 801 is
undetermined.
Legal Authority: 42 USC 9651(c)
CFR Citation: 43 CFR 11
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: CERCLA and the Clean Water Act allow natural resource
trustees to bring a claim against a potentially responsible party for
resources that have been injured by a release of a hazardous substance.
CERCLA requires that natural resource damage assessment regulations be
promulgated and that the regulations be reviewed, and revised as
appropriate, every two years. This rulemaking is the biennial review of
the administrative process for conducting assessments as well as the
so-called type B procedures for determining injury and damages through
scientific and economic studies. This rulemaking will also address the
calculation of lost non-use values of natural resources, in compliance
with State of Ohio v.
[[Page 25522]]
Department of the Interior, 880 F.2d 432 (D.C. Cir. 1989), which
ordered the Department to allow for the assessment of all reliably
calculated values lost as a result of a natural resource injury.

2477--a provision adopted in 1866 that granted a right-of-way for the
construction of highways across public land not reserved for public
uses--was repealed in 1976 but valid existing rights-of-way were not
terminated. This proposed rule is intended to clarify the meaning of
the statute and provide a workable administrative process and standards

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

CFR Citation: 50 CFR 17
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: On November 22, 1994, the Service published special rules to
establish nonessential experimental populations of gray wolves in
Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho. The nonessential
experimental population areas include all of Wyoming, most of Idaho,
and much of central and southern Montana. This proposed revision is to
amend a section of the special regulations so that it clearly applies
within the Yellowstone nonessential experimental population area and
the central Idaho nonessential experimental population area as
described in 7(ii). Ongoing litigation requires the clarification of
the Service's need and authority to remove these animals from the area
through live capture or lethal means in the interest of attaining gray
wolf recovery goals. This proposed change will not affect any of the
assumptions and earlier analysis made in the environmental impact
statement or other portions of the special rules.

Abstract: We will propose endangered status for the Tibetan antelope,

to Tibet, Kashmir, and north-central China. It is threatened by illegal
trade in its wool, known as shahtoosh, which is exceptionally fine. The
wool and shawls made from it are in great demand on the black market,
resulting in the slaughter of thousands of these animals annually. The
species has experienced dramatic declines in recent years despite
efforts by range countries to control poaching, as well as a
prohibition on international commercial trade through listing in
Appendix I of CITES.

Abstract: According to a recent ruling of the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Federal Agencies are
subject to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and must have
authorization under the MBTA to take migratory birds. Our current
regulations authorize issuance of permits to take migratory birds for
activities such as scientific research, education, and depredation
control. For many other activities that result in take of migratory
birds, no permits have been available. This rule would allow Federal
activities to take migratory birds that are not covered by existing
permit regulations, provided certain conditions are met, until more
specific regulations can be developed.

Abstract: The Wild Bird Conservation Act was passed in 1992 and

exemptions that allow imports of such birds for personal pets,
scientific research, zoological breeding and display and cooperative
breeding programs. These exemptions were put into regulations in 1993.

areas, only the specific locations that have or could develop the
physical and biological features required by piping plovers (primary
constituent elements) would be considered critical habitat.
