SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the Federal agency delegated with the primary responsibility for managing migratory birds. Our authority derives from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq. (MBTA), which implements conventions with Great Britain (for Canada), Mexico, Japan, and the Russia Federation. The MBTA protects certain migratory birds from take, except as permitted under the MBTA. We implement the provisions of the MBTA through regulations in parts 10, 13, 20, 21, and 22 of title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Regulations pertaining to migratory bird permits are set forth at 50 CFR part 21.

In addition, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, 16 U.S.C. 668 et seq. (Eagle Act), prohibits take of bald eagles and golden eagles except pursuant to Federal regulations. The Eagle Act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to issue regulations to permit the “taking” of eagles for various purposes, including the protection of “other interests in any particular locality” (16 U.S.C. 668a), provided the taking is compatible with the preservation of eagles. Regulations pertaining to eagle permits are set forth at 50 CFR part 22.

The regulations at 50 CFR parts 21 and 22 were established in 1974. Since 1974, we have published many rules to add, revise, or remove portions of these regulations. We have not, however, published a reorganization rule to address the need for better organization and enhanced readability of these regulations until this time.

This Rule

Renaming and Renumbering of Sections of the Regulations

We are renumbering most of the sections, and renaming and rearranging certain sections, in 50 CFR parts 21 and 22. Below, we provide a redesignation table to help the public readily identify the new numbers, names, and locations of applicable regulations (see tables 1 and 2, below). Only those subparts or sections that are redesignated, renamed, and/or rearranged are reflected in the tables below; the revised table of contents following each table shows every subpart and section heading in each part. These actions are administrative in nature; we are not changing the species protected by, the permit requirements of, or any other requirements of the regulations.

We are making these changes for a variety of reasons. First, some subpart headings in 50 CFR parts 21 and 22 lack specificity. Second, some sections of 50 CFR parts 21 and 22 contain many and varied requirements that will be easier to locate when placed in their own sections with more descriptive section headers. Third, several sections will be easier to find when placed under a different subpart. Last, the current sequential numbering of sections, without adequate intervening open section numbers, requires new regulations to be placed as space allows. These changes will allow for clear and understandable future additions to the regulations.

All of the changes to the regulations described in this rule are intended to improve the clarity and readability of the regulations at 50 CFR parts 21 and 22. They are administrative in nature and do not change the substance of the regulations. These changes should help readers more easily locate applicable regulations and help the Service provide a clearer and more organized presentation of the permit regulations for migratory birds and eagles now and in the future.

Editorial Corrections

Cross-References in Other Parts of Our Regulations

Because we are renumbering all sections, and renaming and rearranging certain sections, in 50 CFR parts 21 and 22, we need to correct outdated cross-references to these sections in other parts of our regulations. These updates are administrative in nature; they do not change the species protected by, the permit requirements of, or any other requirements of the regulations.

Other Corrections

In this rule, we are making several nonsubstantive, editorial revisions to correct misspellings, update internet addresses, update applicable OMB control numbers and information collection statements, and add or update relevant family and scientific names in certain sections of 50 CFR parts 21 and 22.

Our updates to applicable OMB control numbers provide the currently approved OMB control numbers for the information collection requirements in 50 CFR parts 21 and 22. Our updates to information collection statements in certain sections of 50 CFR parts 21 and 22 provide a consistent approach to the presentation of this information in our regulations and, for those affected sections, streamline the information in our regulations to codify only the information needed to notify the public that the information collection requirements are approved by OMB. In those sections, we are removing burden estimates from the regulations because it is our current practice not to include these estimates, as they do change on occasion and any changes would require us to publish a rulemaking document to update the regulations. All current and past burden estimates for OMB control numbers are available online at http://www.reginfo.gov under the “Information Collection Review” tab.

Our additions or updates to relevant family and scientific names include, but are not limited to, specifying “(family Anatidae)” where we refer to migratory waterfowl and adding scientific names, such as “( Anas platyrhynchos)” where we refer to mallard duck and “( Branta canadensis)” where we refer to Canada goose, where they are lacking in certain sections of part 21. In addition, in certain sections of part 21, we are amending certain common names and/or scientific names of species to match those amendments adopted in the latest revision of the List of Migratory Birds at 50 CFR 10.13 (see 85 FR 21282; April 16, 2020); these changes include, but are not limited to, replacing the common name “American swallow-tailed kite” with “swallow-tailed kite” and replacing the scientific name “ Psiloscops flammeolus” with “ Otus flammeolus” for the flammulated owl.

All of these editorial revisions are for clarity, accuracy, and consistency within our regulations. Like the other changes described in this rule, these revisions are purely administrative; they do not change the species protected by, the permit requirements of, or any other requirements of the regulations.

Administrative Procedure Act

This rule is a purely administrative action; it makes no changes the substance of the regulations in any way. We are renumbering, renaming, and rearranging certain subparts and sections in parts 21 and 22, and making editorial corrections to those parts, to provide regulated entities and the general public with clearer and better organized regulations. This rule is a “rule of agency organization, procedure or practice” under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), and therefore may be made final without previous notice to the public. This is a final rule.

Required Determinations

Regulatory Planning and Review—Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

Executive Order 12866 provides that the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) will review all significant rules. The OIRA has determined that this rule is not significant.

Executive Order (E.O.) 13563 reaffirms the principles of E.O. 12866 while calling for improvements in the nation's regulatory system to promote predictability, to reduce uncertainty, and to use the best, most innovative, and least burdensome tools for achieving regulatory ends. E.O. 13563 directs agencies to consider regulatory approaches that reduce burdens and maintain flexibility and freedom of choice for the public where these approaches are relevant, feasible, and consistent with regulatory objectives. 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 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121)), whenever an agency is required to publish a notice of rulemaking for any proposed or final rule, it must prepare and make available for public comment a regulatory flexibility analysis that describes the effect of the rule on small entities (that is, small businesses, small organizations, and small government jurisdictions). However, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required if the head of an agency certifies the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. SBREFA amended the Regulatory Flexibility Act to require Federal agencies to provide the statement of the factual basis for certifying that a rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

We have examined this rule's potential effects on small entities as required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and have determined that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule reorganizes the regulations in parts 21 and 22 of title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and makes nonsubstantive, editorial corrections to those regulations. We are taking this action to ensure that our regulations are clearly organized and easily locatable by regulated entities and the general public. This rule will not result in any costs or benefits to any entities, large or small. Therefore, we certify that this rule will not have a significant economic effect on a substantial number of small entities. As such, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.

This rule is not a major rule under the SBREFA (5 U.S.C. 804(2)). It will not ( printed page 879) have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

a. This rule will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more. There are no costs to any entities resulting from these revisions to the regulations.

b. This rule will not cause a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government agencies, or geographic regions. The administrative updates in this rule do not affect costs or prices in any sector of the economy.

c. This rule will 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.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.)

In accordance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, we have determined the following:

a. This rule will not “significantly or uniquely” affect small governments in a negative way. A small government agency plan is not required.

b. This rule will not produce a Federal mandate of $100 million or greater in any year. It is not a “significant regulatory action” under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

Takings (E.O. 12630)

Under the criteria outlined in E.O. 12630, this final rule does not have significant takings implications. This rule is an administrative action to reorganize our regulations at 50 CFR parts 21 and 22; it does not contain a provision for taking of private property. A takings implication assessment is not required.

Federalism (E.O. 13132)

This rule does not have sufficient Federalism effects to warrant preparation of a federalism summary impact statement under E.O. 13132.

Civil Justice Reform (E.O. 12988)

In accordance with E.O. 12988, the Office of the Solicitor has determined that the rule does not unduly burden the judicial system and meets the requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Order.

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

This rule does not contain any information collection that would require OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)

We evaluated the environmental impacts of the changes to the regulations, and determined that this rule does not have any environmental impacts.

Government-to-Government Relationship With Tribes

In accordance with the President's memorandum of April 29, 1994, “Government-to-Government Relations with Native American Tribal Governments” (59 FR 22951), E.O. 13175, and the Department of the Interior's manual at 512 DM 2, we readily acknowledge our responsibility to communicate meaningfully with recognized Federal Tribes on a government-to-government basis. In accordance with Secretarial Order 3206 of June 5, 1997 (American Indian Tribal Rights, Federal-Tribal Trust Responsibilities, and the Endangered Species Act), we readily acknowledge our responsibilities to work directly with Tribes in developing programs for healthy ecosystems, to acknowledge that Tribal lands are not subject to the same controls as Federal public lands, to remain sensitive to Indian culture, and to make information available to Tribes. We have determined that no Tribes or Tribal lands, sacred sites, or resources will be affected by the administrative changes in this rule.

Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (E.O. 13211)

E.O. 13211 requires agencies to prepare Statements of Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. Because this rule is administrative, it is not a significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866, and it will not significantly affect energy supplies, distribution, or use. Therefore, this action is not a significant energy action and no Statement of Energy Effects is required.
