25 CFR Part 250
RIN 1076-AD68
Indian Fishing--Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation
AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs is eliminating 25 CFR Part 250 as
mandated by Executive Order 12866 to streamline the regulatory process
and enhance the planning and coordination of new and existing
regulations. The necessity for this rule no longer exists.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 22, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary Rankel, Chief, Branch of Fish,
Wildlife and Recreation, Office of Trust Responsibilities, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, 1849 C St. NW, Mail Stop
4513-MIB, Washington, DC 20240, Telephone (202) 208-4088.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 2, 1996, at 61 FR 19600, the Bureau
published a proposed rule to eliminate 25 CFR Part 250, Indian
Fishing--Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation. The purpose for which this
rule was promulgated has been fulfilled and the rule is no longer
required. Both the Hoopa Valley Tribe and the Yurok Tribe have
established regulations to protect the fishery resources and fishing
rights of Indians of the Hoopa Valley and Yurok Indian Reservations.
With tribal fishing regulations now in place, 25 CFR Part 250 is no
longer necessary. We received no comments in response to the proposed
rule.
Evaluation and Certification
The Department has certified to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) that this rule meets the applicable standards provided in
Sections 2(a) and 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778.
The Office of Management and Budget has determined that this rule
is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
There will be no economic effect on each tribal government and
tribal organization under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.) and no additional outlays will be required of tribal
governments, tribal organizations, and the Federal Government.
In accordance with Executive Order 12630, the Department has
determined that this rule does not have significant ``takings''
implications. The rule does not pertain to ``taking'' of private
property interests, nor does it affect private property.
The Department has determined that this rule will not constitute a
major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment and that no detailed statement is required pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
This rule has been examined under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 and has been found to contain no information collection documents.
