Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, withdraw our proposed rule
published January 29, 2009, to establish

seasons, harvest limits, methods, and
means related to taking of wildlife for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
Background
Under Title VIII of the Alaska
National Interest Lands Conservation
Act (ANILCA) (16 U.S.C. 3111–3126),
the Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture (Secretaries)
jointly implement the Federal
Subsistence Management Program
(program). This program grants a
preference for subsistence uses of fish
and wildlife resources on Federal public
lands and waters in Alaska. The
Secretaries originally published
regulations to carry out the program in
the Federal Register on May 29, 1992
(57 FR 22940), and the program has
subsequently amended these regulations
several times. Because this program is a
joint effort between Interior and
Agriculture, its regulations are located
in two titles of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR): Title 36, ‘‘Parks,
Forests, and Public Property,’’ and Title
50, ‘‘Wildlife and Fisheries,’’ at 36 CFR
242.1–28 and 50 CFR 100.1–28,
respectively.
Among other things, subpart D of
these regulations set forth specific
harvest seasons and limits. Subpart D
regulations are subject to periodic
review and revision. The Federal
Subsistence Board completes the
biennial process of revising subsistence
hunting and trapping regulations for
wildlife in even-numbered years and
subsistence fishing and shellfish
regulations in odd-numbered years;
public proposal and review processes
take place during the preceding year.
The Board also addresses customary and
traditional use determinations during
the applicable biennial cycle.
On January 29, 2009 (74 FR 5127), we
published a proposed rule in the
Federal Register revising the subpart D
regulations that set forth specific harvest
seasons and limits for wildlife and the
subpart C customary and traditional use
determinations. The text of the 2008–10
subparts C and D final rule that
published June 24, 2008 (73 FR 35726),
serve as the text for our 2010–12
subparts C and D proposed rule (January
29, 2009, 74 FR 5127).
We are withdrawing this rule because
publication did not follow the
requirements set forth in a January 20,
2009, memorandum signed by the
President’s Chief of Staff. That
memorandum requires Administration
appointees to review rules prior to
publication. This rule did not receive
complete Administration review.

New Standards for Domestic Mailing
Services, Revised Proposal
Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Proposed rule; supplemental.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On January 29, 2009, the
Postal Service published a proposed
rule to provide mailing standards that
would accompany new prices for
mailing services in 2009 and 2010.
Upon further review, the Postal Service
has determined that it is appropriate to
make certain changes in its initial
proposal. In particular, language has
been inserted to clarify that proposed
new standards relating to static charge
and coefficient of friction standards for
automation and machinable letters
would be recommended, not mandatory,
and a proposal to revise the standards
for window envelopes on letter-size
envelopes has been removed. For
purposes of clarity and convenience, the
entire revised version of the proposed
rule is being published for comment.
DATES: We must receive your comments
on or before March 9, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver written
comments to the Manager, Mailing
Standards, U.S. Postal Service, 475
L’Enfant Plaza, SW., Room 3436,
Washington, DC 20260–3436. You may
inspect and photocopy all written
comments at USPS Headquarters
Library, 475 L’Enfant Plaza, SW., 11th
Floor N, Washington, DC, between 9
a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through
Friday. E-mail comments, containing
the name and address of the commenter,
may be sent to:
MailingStandards@usps.gov, with a
subject line of ‘‘Price-related Proposal
Comments.’’ Faxed comments are not
accepted.
