    SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) amends certain 
    regulations that pertain to migratory game bird hunting, upland game 
    hunting, big game hunting and sport fishing on individual national 
    wildlife refuges. Refuge hunting and fishing programs are reviewed 
    annually to determine whether the individual refuge regulations 
    governing these programs should be modified, deleted or have additions 
    made to them. Changing environmental conditions, State and Federal 
    regulations, and other factors affecting wildlife populations and 
    habitat may warrant modifications to insure the continued compatibility 
    of hunting and fishing with the purposes for which the individual 
    refuges were established. Modifications are designed, to the extent 
    practical, to make refuge hunting and fishing programs consistent with 
    State regulations.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective February 11, 1994.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Duncan L. Brown, Division of Refuges, 
    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1849 C Street, NW., MS 670 ARLSQ, 
    Washington, DC 20240; Telephone (703) 358-1744.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 50 CFR part 32 contains provisions governing 
    hunting and fishing on national wildlife refuges. Hunting and fishing 
    are regulated on refuges to (1) insure compatibility with refuge 
    purposes, (2) properly manage the wildlife resource, (3) protect other 
    refuge values, and (4) insure refuge user safety. On many refuges, the 
    Service policy of adopting State hunting regulations is adequate in 
    meeting these objectives. On other refuges, it is necessary to 
    supplement State regulations with more restrictive Federal regulations 
    to insure that the Service meets its management responsibilities, as 
    outlined under the section entitled ``Conformance with Statutory and 
    Regulatory Authorities.'' Refuge-specific hunting and fishing 
    regulations may be issued only after a wildlife refuge is opened to 
    migratory game bird hunting, upland game hunting, big game hunting or 
    sport fishing through publication in the Federal Register. These 
    regulations may list the wildlife species that may be hunted or are 
    subject to sport fishing, seasons, bag limits, methods of hunting or 
    fishing, descriptions of open areas, and other provisions as 
    appropriate. Previously issued refuge-specific regulations for hunting 
    and fishing are contained in 50 CFR part 32. Many of the amendments to 
    these sections are being promulgated to standardize and clarify the 
    existing language of these regulations.
        In the September 22, 1993, issue of the Federal Register, 58 FR 
    49382, the Service published a proposed rulemaking and invited public 
    comment. The Service received no outside comments to the rulemaking and 
    minor administrative corrections were made as submitted by the Regional 
    Offices. Any further delay in the finalization of the refuge-specific 
    regulations would hinder the effective administration of the hunts 
    already scheduled for this year. Therefore, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), 
    the Service finds good cause to make this rule effective upon 
    publication.
    
    Conformance with Statutory and Regulatory Authorities
    
        The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act (NWRSAA) of 
    1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 668dd), and the Refuge Recreation Act of 
    1962 (16 U.S.C. 460k) govern the administration and public use of 
    national wildlife refuges. Specifically, Section 4(d)(1)(A) of the 
    NWRSAA authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to permit the use of 
    any area within the Refuge System for any purpose, including but not 
    limited to, hunting, fishing and public recreation, accommodations and 
    access, when he determines that such uses are compatible with the major 
    purpose(s) for which the area was established.
        The Refuge Recreation Act authorizes the Secretary to administer 
    areas within the Refuge System for public recreation as an appropriate 
    incidental or secondary use only to the extent that it is practicable 
    and not inconsistent with the primary purpose(s) for which the areas 
    were established. The Refuge Recreation Act also authorizes the 
    Secretary to issue regulations to carry out the purposes of the Act. 
    Hunting and sport fishing plans are developed for each refuge prior to 
    opening it to hunting or fishing. In many cases, refuge-specific 
    hunting and fishing regulations are included in the hunting and sport 
    fishing plans to ensure the compatibility of the hunting and sport 
    fishing programs with the purposes for which the refuge was 
    established. Initial compliance with the NWRSAA and Refuge Recreation 
    Act is ensured when hunting and sport fishing plans are developed, and 
    the determinations required by these acts are made prior to the 
    addition of refuges to the lists of areas open to hunting and fishing 
    in 50 CFR. Continued compliance is ensured by annual review of hunting 
    and sport fishing programs and regulations.
        This rulemaking has been reviewed by the Office of Management and 
    Budget under Executive Order 12866.
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        The information collection requirements for part 32 are found in 50 
    CFR part 25 and have been approved by the Office of Management and 
    Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and assigned clearance number 1018-
    0014. The information is being collected to assist the Service in 
    administering these programs in accordance with statutory authorities 
    which require that recreational uses be compatible with the primary 
    purposes for which the areas were established. The information 
    requested in the application form is required to obtain a benefit.
        The public reporting burden for the application form is estimated 
    to average six (6) minutes per response, including time for reviewing 
    instructions, gathering and maintaining data, and completing the form. 
    Direct comments on the burden estimate or any other aspect of this form 
    to the Service Information Collection Clearance Officer, U.S. Fish and 
    Wildlife Service, 1849 C Street NW., MS 224 ARLSQ, Washington, DC 
    20240; and the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction 
    Project (1018-0014), Washington, DC 20503.
    
    Environmental Considerations
    
        Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
    (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4332(C)) and the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 
    U.S.C. 1531-1543) is ensured when hunting and sport fishing plans are 
    developed, and the determinations required by these acts are made prior 
    to the addition of refuges to the lists of areas open to hunting and 
    fishing in 50 CFR. Refuge-specific hunting and fishing regulations are 
    subject to a categorical exclusion from the NEPA process if they do not 
    significantly alter the existing use of a particular national wildlife 
    refuge. The changes proposed in this rulemaking would not substantially 
    alter the existing uses of the refuges involved. Information regarding 
    hunting and fishing permits and the conditions that apply to individual 
    refuge hunts, sport fishing activities and maps of the respective areas 
    are retained at refuge headquarters and can be obtained from the 
    regional offices of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the addresses
