SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HHS is
adopting regulations (45 CFR Part 18) on
the use of its official logo and seal. HHS
has developed a logo and seal that
signifies the authoritativeness of the
item or document to which it is affixed
as an official endorsement of HHS. The
logo and seal is to be used for official
HHS business or as approved under
HHS’ regulations.
HHS believes there is good cause to
bypass notice and comment and
proceed to a direct final rule pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 553(b). The rule is noncontroversial and merely describes
HHS’ official logo and seal. Because this
rule only impacts HHS’ procedure and
practice, notice and comment is
unnecessary. Although HHS believes
this direct final rule will not elicit any
significant adverse comments, if such
comments are received, HHS will
publish a timely notice of withdrawal in
the Federal Register.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) is
adopting requirements on the use of its
official logo and seal. Use by any person
or organization may be made only with
prior written approval. Wrongful use of
an official logo or seal is subject to
administrative action and/or criminal
penalty. HHS believes that this rule is
non-controversial, and HHS anticipates
no significant adverse comment. If HHS
receives a significant adverse comment,
it will withdraw the rule.
DATES: This rule is effective May 14,
2014 without further action, unless
adverse comment is received by April
29, 2014. If adverse comment is
received, HHS will publish a timely
withdrawal of the rule in the Federal

(a) The Departmental Symbol
(Symbol) of the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) is the key
element in Department identification. It
represents the American People
sheltered in the wing of the American
Eagle, suggesting the Department’s
concern and responsibility for the
welfare of the people. This Symbol is
the visual link which connects the
graphic communications of all
components and programs of the
Department. It is the major design
component for the Department
Identifiers—the Department Logo, Seal,
and Signatures.
(b) The Symbol is described as
follows: The outline of an American
Eagle, facing left, with one of its wings
stretched upward and the other wing
pointed downward, is flanked on its
right side by two outlines of the profile
of a human head, both of which are
located in between the eagle’s wings.
One of the profile outlines is smaller
than the other and is nestled in the
larger outline.

We, NMFS, announce
revisions to the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) to clarify and update
the descriptions of species under NMFS’
jurisdiction that are currently listed as
threatened or endangered under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA).
Revisions include format changes to our
lists of threatened and endangered
species, revisions to regulatory language
explaining our lists, updates to the
descriptions of certain listed West Coast
salmonid species to add or remove
hatchery stocks consistent with our
recently completed 5-year reviews
under ESA section 4(c)(2), and
corrections to regulatory text to fix
inadvertent errors from previous
rulemakings, update cross-references,
and provide consistent language. We are
not adding or removing any species to
or from our lists, changing the status of
any listed species, or adding or revising
any critical habitat designation.

April 14, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Section 4 of the ESA provides for both
NMFS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS) to make determinations
as to the endangered or threatened
status of ‘‘species’’ in response to
petitions or on their own initiative. In
accordance with the ESA, we (NMFS)
make determinations as to the
threatened or endangered status of
species by regulation. These regulations
provide the text for each species listing
and include the content required by the
ESA section 4(c)(1). We enumerate and
maintain a list of species under our
jurisdiction which we have determined
to be threatened or endangered at 50
CFR 223.102 (threatened species) and 50
CFR 224.101 (endangered species)
(hereafter referred to as the ‘‘NMFS
Lists’’). The FWS maintains two master
lists of all threatened and endangered
species, i.e., both species under NMFS’
jurisdiction and species under FWS’
jurisdiction (the ‘‘FWS Lists’’), at 50
CFR 17.11 (threatened and endangered
animals) and 50 CFR 17.12 (threatened
and endangered plants). The term
‘‘species’’ for listing purposes under the
ESA includes the following entities:
species, subspecies, and, for vertebrates
only, ‘‘distinct population segments
(DPSs).’’ Pacific salmon are listed as
‘‘evolutionarily significant units
(ESUs),’’ which are essentially
equivalent to DPSs for the purpose of
the ESA. For West Coast salmon and
steelhead, many of the ESU and DPS
descriptions include fish originating
from specific artificial propagation
programs (e.g., hatcheries) that, along
with their naturally-produced
counterparts, are included as part of the
listed species.
We recently completed a 5-year
review of the status of ESA-listed
salmon ESUs and steelhead DPSs in
California (76 FR 50447, August 15,
2011; and 76 FR 76386, December 7,
2011) and in Oregon, Idaho, and
