    SUMMARY: These corrections amend the Subsistence Management Regulations 
    for Public Lands in Alaska published in the Federal Register on June 
    29, 1998 (63 FR 35332) implementing the subsistence priority for rural 
    residents of Alaska under Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest 
    Lands Conservation Act of 1980. The June 29, 1998, final rule 
    established regulations for seasons, harvest limits, methods, and means 
    relating to taking of wildlife for subsistence uses during the 1998-
    1999 regulatory year.
    
    DATES: The amendments to Section ____.25 are effective July 1, 1998, 
    through June 30, 1999.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Background
    
        Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act 
    (ANILCA) (16 U.S.C. 3111-3126) requires that the Secretary of the 
    Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretaries) implement a 
    joint program to grant a preference for subsistence uses of fish and 
    wildlife resources on public lands, unless the State of Alaska enacts 
    and implements laws of general applicability which are consistent with 
    ANILCA, and which provide for the subsistence definition, preference, 
    and participation specified in Sections 803, 804, and 805 of ANILCA. 
    The State implemented a program that the Department of the Interior 
    previously found to be consistent with ANILCA. However, in December 
    1989, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled in McDowell v. State of Alaska 
    that the rural preference in the State subsistence statute violated the 
    Alaska Constitution. The Court's ruling in McDowell required the State 
    to delete the rural preference from the subsistence statute, and 
    therefore, negated State compliance with ANILCA. The Court stayed the 
    effect of the decision until July 1, 1990.
        As a result of the McDowell decision, the Department of the 
    Interior and the Department of Agriculture (Departments) assumed, on 
    July 1, 1990, responsibility for implementation of Title VIII of ANILCA 
    on public lands. On June 29, 1990, the Temporary Subsistence Management 
    Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska were published in the Federal 
    Register (55 FR 27114-27170). Consistent with Subparts A, B, and C of 
    these regulations, a Federal Subsistence Board was established to 
    administer the Federal subsistence management program. The Board's 
    composition includes 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, 
    U.S. National Park Service; the Alaska State Director, U.S. Bureau of 
    Land Management; the Alaska Area Director, U.S. Bureau of Indian 
    Affairs; and the Alaska Regional Forester, USDA Forest Service. Through 
    the Board, these agencies have participated in development of 
    regulations for Subparts A, B, and C, and the annual Subpart D 
    regulations. All Board members have reviewed this rule and agree with 
    its substance. Because this rule relates to public lands managed by an 
    agency or agencies in both the Departments of Agriculture and the 
    Interior, identical text would be incorporated into 36 CFR part 242 and 
    50 CFR part 100.
        Proposed Subpart C regulations for customary and traditional use 
    determinations and Subpart D regulations for the 1998-1999 seasons and 
    bag limits, and methods and means were published on July 25, 1997, in 
    the Federal Register (62 FR 39987). A 60-day comment period providing 
    for public review of the proposed rule was advertised by mail, radio, 
    and newspaper. Subsequent to that 60-day review period, the Board 
    prepared a booklet describing all proposals for change. The public then 
    had an additional 30 days in which to comment on the proposals for 
    changes to the regulations. The Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory 
    Councils met in regional centers, received public comments, and 
    formulated recommendations to the Board on proposals for their 
    respective regions. The final regulations, published on June 29, 1998 
    (63 FR 35332) reflect Board review and consideration of Regional 
    Council recommendations and public comments submitted to the Board 
    during their April/May meeting.
        These correcting amendments are a result of two requests for 
    Special Action resulting from additional opportunities for subsistence 
    harvest of wildlife resources. Below are summaries of each action.
    
    Subpart D
    
        Units 9D) and 10, Unimak Island--Caribou--The Board acted on a 
    request to open a limited hunt. This follows biological surveys which 
    indicate that the herd in this area is large enough to support a 
    limited harvest.
        Units 23 and 26--Sheep--The Board acted on a request to open a 
    limited hunt. This follows biological surveys which indicate that the 
    herd in this area is large enough to support a limited harvest. This 
    action would also close Federal public lands to non-Federally qualified 
    users.
        Only the items described above are being changed; but for clarity, 
    the entire table section for the pertinent species in each Unit is 
    reproduced. The above actions were supported by the Regional Councils 
    in the affected areas. Notice of the Board meeting and the subjects to 
    be considered were widely circulated and the public had an opportunity 
    to comment and participate.
        The Board finds that additional public notice and comment 
    requirements under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) for this 
    final rule are impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public 
    interest. A lapse in regulatory control could seriously affect the 
    continued viability of wildlife populations, adversely impact future 
    subsistence opportunities for rural Alaskans, and would generally fail 
    to serve the overall public interest. Therefore, the Board finds good 
    cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive the public notice and 
    comment procedures prior to publication of this rule. The Board finds 
    good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make this rule effective July 1, 
    1998.
    
    Conformance With Statutory and Regulatory Authorities
    
    National Environmental Policy Act Compliance
    
        A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that described four
    
    [[Page 46149]]
    
    alternatives for developing a Federal Subsistence Management Program 
    was distributed for public comment on October 7, 1991. That document 
    described the major issues associated with Federal subsistence 
    management as identified through public meetings, written comments and 
    staff analysis and examined the environmental consequences of the four 
    alternatives. Proposed regulations (Subparts A, B, and C) that would 
    implement the preferred alternative were included in the DEIS as an 
    appendix. The DEIS and the proposed administrative regulations 
    presented a framework for an annual regulatory cycle regarding 
    subsistence hunting and fishing regulations (Subpart D). The Final 
    Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was published on February 28, 
    1992.
        Based on the public comment received, the analysis contained in the 
    FEIS, and the recommendations of the Federal Subsistence Board and the 
    Department of the Interior's Subsistence Policy Group, it was the 
    decision of the Secretary of the Interior, with the concurrence of the 
    Secretary of Agriculture, through the U.S. Department of Agriculture-
    Forest Service, to implement Alternative IV as identified in the DEIS 
    and FEIS (Record of Decision on Subsistence Management for Federal 
    Public Lands in Alaska (ROD), signed April 6, 1992). The DEIS and the 
    selected alternative in the FEIS defined the administrative framework 
    of an annual regulatory cycle for subsistence hunting and fishing 
    regulations. The final rule for Subsistence Management Regulations for 
    Public Lands in Alaska, Subparts A, B, and C (57 FR 22940-22964, 
    published May 29, 1992) implemented the Federal Subsistence Management 
    Program and included a framework for an annual cycle for subsistence 
    hunting and fishing regulations.
    
    Compliance With Section 810 of ANILCA
    
        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. A Section 810 analysis was completed as part of the FEIS 
    process. The final Section 810 analysis determination appears in the 
    April 6, 1992, ROD which found that the Federal Subsistence Management 
    Program, under a modified Alternative IV with an annual process for 
    setting hunting and fishing regulations, had no significant possibility 
    of a significant restriction of subsistence uses.
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        These rules contain information collection requirements subject to 
    Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval under the Paperwork 
    Reduction Act of 1995. They apply to the use of public lands in Alaska. 
    The information collection requirements described below have been 
    approved by OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501 and have been assigned clearance 
    number 1018-0075, which expires 5/31/2000.
        The collection of information will be achieved through the use of 
    the Federal Subsistence Hunt Permit Application. This collection 
    information will establish whether the applicant qualifies to 
    participate in a Federal subsistence hunt on public land in Alaska and 
    will provide a report of harvest and location of harvest.
        The likely respondents to this collection of information are rural 
    Alaska residents who wish to participate in specific subsistence hunts 
    on Federal land. The collected information is necessary to determine 
    harvest success and harvest location in order to make management 
    decisions relative to the conservation of healthy wildlife populations. 
    The annual burden of reporting and recordkeeping is estimated to 
    average 0.25 hours per response, including time for reviewing 
    instructions, gathering and maintaining data, and completing and 
    reviewing the form. The estimated number of likely respondents under 
    this rule is less than 5,000, yielding a total annual reporting and 
    recordkeeping burden of 1,250 hours or less.
        Direct comments on the burden estimate or any other aspect of this 
    form to: Information Collection Officer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
    Service, 1849 C Street, NW, MS 224 ARLSQ, Washington, D.C. 20240; and 
    the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project 
    (Subsistence), Washington, D.C. 20503. Additional information 
    collection requirements may be imposed if Local Advisory Committees 
    subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act are established under 
    Subpart B.
    
    Economic Effects
    
        This rule was not subject to OMB review under Executive Order 
    12866.
        The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) 
    requires preparation of 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. 
    The Departments have determined 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.
        This rulemaking will impose no significant costs on small entities; 
    the exact number of businesses and the amount of trade that will result 
    from this Federal land-related activity is unknown. The aggregate 
    effect is an insignificant positive economic effect on a number of 
    small entities, such as ammunition, snowmachine, and gasoline dealers. 
    The number of small entities affected is unknown; but, the fact that 
    the positive effects will be seasonal in nature and will, in most 
    cases, merely continue preexisting uses of public lands indicates that 
    they will not be significant.
        In general, the resources harvested under this rule will be 
    consumed by the local harvester and do not result in a dollar benefit 
    to the economy. However, it is estimated that 2 million pounds of meat 
    are harvested State-wide by the local subsistence users annually and, 
    if given a dollar value of $3.00 per pound, would equate to $6 million 
    State wide.
        Title VIII of ANILCA requires the Secretaries to administer a 
    subsistence preference on public lands. The scope of this 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.
        The Service has determined and certifies pursuant to the Unfunded 
    Mandates 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 Service has determined that these final regulations meet the 
    applicable standards provided in Sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive 
    Order 12988.
        Drafting Information. These regulations were drafted by William 
    Knauer under the guidance of Thomas H. Boyd, of the Office of 
    Subsistence Management, Alaska Regional Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
    Service, Anchorage, Alaska. Additional guidance was provided by Curt 
    Wilson, Alaska State Office, Bureau of Land Management; Sandy 
    Rabinowitch, Alaska Regional Office, National Park Service; Ida 
    Hildebrand, Alaska Area Office, Bureau of Indian Affairs; and Ken 
    Thompson, USDA-Forest Service.
