DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service 50 CFR Parts 10 and 21 [Docket No. FWS–R9–MB–2010–0088, FF09M21200–134–FXMB1231099BPP0] RIN 1018–AX48 General Provisions; Revised List of Migratory Birds Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, revise the List of Migratory Birds by both adding and removing species. Reasons for the changes to the list include adding species based on new taxonomy and new evidence of occurrence in the United States or U.S. territories, removing species no longer known to occur within the United States, and changing names to conform to accepted use. The net increase of 19 species (23 added and 4 removed) brings the total number of species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) to 1,026. We regulate most aspects of the taking, possession, transportation, sale, purchase, barter, exportation, and importation of migratory birds. An accurate and up-to-date list of species protected by the MBTA is essential for public notification and regulatory purposes. SUMMARY: DATES: This rule is effective December 2, 2013. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Allen at 703–358–1825. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES3 What statutory authority does the service have for this rulemaking? We have statutory authority and responsibility for enforcing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703–712), the Fish and Wildlife Improvement Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 742l), and the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a–j). The MBTA implements Conventions between the United States and four neighboring countries for the protection of migratory birds, as follows: (1) Canada: Convention between the United States and Great Britain [on behalf of Canada] for the Protection of Migratory Birds, August 16, 1916, 39 Stat. 1702 (T.S. No. 628); (2) Mexico: Convention between the United States and Mexico for the Protection of Migratory Birds and Game VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:05 Oct 31, 2013 Jkt 232001 What is the purpose of this rulemaking? Our purpose is to inform the public of the species protected by the MBTA and its implementing regulations. These regulations are found in Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 10, 20, and 21. We regulate most aspects of the taking, possession, transportation, sale, purchase, barter, exportation, and importation of migratory birds. An accurate and up-to-date list of species protected by the MBTA is essential for regulatory purposes. Why is this amendment of the list of migratory birds necessary? The amendment is needed to: (1) Add five species previously overlooked from a family protected under the MBTA; (2) correct the spelling of six species on the alphabetized list; (3) correct the spelling of three species on the taxonomic list; (4) add 11 species based on new distributional records documenting their natural occurrence in the United States since April 2007; (5) add one species from a family now protected under the MBTA as a result of taxonomic changes; (6) add six species newly recognized as a result of recent taxonomic changes; (7) remove four species not known to occur within the boundaries of the United States or its territories as a result of recent taxonomic changes; (8) change the common (English) names of nine species to conform with accepted use; and (9) change the scientific names of 36 species to conform to accepted use. The List of Migratory Birds (50 CFR 10.13) was last revised on March 1, 2010 (75 FR 9282). These amendments were necessitated by three published supplements to the 7th (1998) edition of the American Ornithologists’ Union’s (AOU’s) Check-list of North American birds (AOU 2008, AOU 2009, and AOU 2010). In addition, we correct the legal authorities citations at 50 CFR 10.13(a). We also make a small change to a definition in 50 CFR 21.3. We update PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 the definition of ‘‘raptor’’ to also include the Order Accipitriformes, corresponding to recent taxonomic changes reflected in the List of Migratory Birds. What scientific authorities are used to amend the list of migratory birds? Although bird names (common and scientific) are relatively stable, staying current with standardized use is necessary to avoid confusion in communications. In making our determinations, we primarily relied on the American Ornithologists’ Union’s Check-list of North American birds (AOU 1998), as amended (AOU 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010), on matters of taxonomy, nomenclature, and the sequence of species and other higher taxonomic categories (orders, families, subfamilies) for species that occur in North America. The AOU Checklist contains all bird species that have occurred in North America from the Arctic through Panama, including the West Indies and the Hawaiian Islands, and includes distributional information for each species, which specifies whether the species is known to occur in the United States. For the 39 species that occur outside the geographic area covered by the Check-list (28 that occur in the Pacific island territories and 11 listed in the Japanese and/or Russian conventions that have not occurred in the AOU area), we relied primarily on Clements (2007). Although we primarily rely on the above checklists, when informed taxonomic opinion is inconsistent or controversial, we evaluate available published and unpublished information and come to our own conclusion regarding the validity of taxa. What criteria are used to identify individual species protected by the MBTA? A species qualifies for protection under the MBTA by meeting one or more of the following four criteria: (1) It is covered by the Canadian Convention of 1916, as amended in 1996, by virtue of meeting the following three criteria: (a) It belongs to a family or group of species named in the Canadian Convention, as amended; (b) specimens, photographs, videotape recordings, or audiotape recordings provide convincing evidence of natural occurrence in the United States or its territories; and (c) the documentation of such records has been recognized by the AOU or other competent scientific authorities. (2) It is covered by the Mexican Convention of 1936, as amended in E:\FR\FM\01NOR3.SGM 01NOR3 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 212 / Friday, November 1, 2013 / Rules and Regulations mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES3 1972, by virtue of meeting the following three criteria: (a) It belongs to a family or group of species named in the Mexican Convention, as amended; (b) specimens, photographs, videotape recordings, or audiotape recordings provide convincing evidence of natural occurrence in the United States or its territories; and (c) the documentation of such records has been recognized by the AOU or other competent scientific authorities. (3) It is listed in the annex to the Japanese Convention of 1972, as amended. (4) It is listed in the appendix to the Russian Convention of 1976. In accordance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Reform Act of 2004 (MBTRA) (Pub. L. 108–447, 118 Stat. 2809, 3071– 72), we include all species native to the United States or its territories, which are those that occur as a result of natural biological or ecological processes (see 70 FR 12710, March 15, 2005). We do not include nonnative species whose occurrences in the United States are solely the result of intentional or unintentional human-assisted introduction(s). How do the changes affect the list of migratory birds? Several taxonomic changes were made at the Order and Family level by the AOU since our 2010 publication of the list (75 FR 9282, March 1, 2010). These changes affect the inclusion and taxonomic order of species on this list. Specifically, the Orders Phaethontiformes and Suliformes were split from the Pelecaniformes. Phaethontiformes now includes the Family Phaethontidae (tropicbirds); Suliformes now includes the Families Fregatidae (frigatebirds), Sulidae (boobys), Phalacrocoracidae (cormorants), and Anhingidae (anhingas). In addition, the Order Accipitriformes was split from the Falconiformes and now include the Families Cathartidae (vultures), Pandionidae (Osprey), and Accipitridae (hawks and eagles). At the Family level, the Ardeidae (herons and egrets) and Threskiornithidae (ibis and spoonbills) were moved from the Ciconiiformes to the Pelecaniformes Order, the Pandionidae (Osprey) was split from the Accipitridae (hawks and eagles), and the Stercorariidae (jaegers and skuas) was split from the Laridae (gulls, terns, and skimmers). The Polioptilidae (gnatcatchers), Phylloscopidae (Phylloscopus warblers), Acrocephalidae (Acrocephalus warblers), and Megaluridae (Locustella warblers) were split from the Sylviidae, and the Calcariidae (longspurs and VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:05 Oct 31, 2013 Jkt 232001 snow buntings) was split from the Emberizidae (buntings and sparrows). The euphonias were put into their own Subfamily (Euphoniinae) and moved from the Thraupidae to the Fringillidae Family. All species within these newly created Families continue to be protected under the MBTA. In addition, the Wrentit was moved from the Timaliidae (babblers) to the Sylviidae and is now in a Family protected by the MBTA. The amendments (23 additions, 4 removals, and 54 name changes) affect a grand total of 79 species and result in a net addition of 19 species to the List of Migratory Birds, increasing the species total from 1,007 to 1,026. Of the 23 species that we add to the list, 6 were previously covered under the MBTA as subspecies of listed species. These amendments can be logically arranged in the following 9 categories: (1) Add five species from the family Muscicapidae, a family specifically listed in the 1996 protocol amending the 1916 convention with Canada. The omission of these species on the previous list was an oversight. All are considered accidental or casual in Alaska. The species and relevant AOU publication(s) are: Mugimaki Flycatcher, Ficedula mugimaki (AOU 1987, 1997, 1998); Taiga Flycatcher, Ficedula albicilla (AOU 1982, 1983, 1998, 2006); Dark-sided Flycatcher, Muscicapa sibirica (AOU 1982, 1983, 1998, 2004); Asian Brown Flycatcher, Muscicapa dauurica (AOU 1987, 1989, 1998); and Spotted Flycatcher, Muscicapa striata (AOU 2004). (2) Correct the spelling of six scientific names on the alphabetized list: Nesofregata fuliginosa (Polynesian Storm-Petrel), becomes Nesofregetta fuliginosa; Thalleseus maximus (Royal Tern), becomes Thalasseus maximus; Thalleseus sandvicensis (Sandwich Tern), becomes Thalasseus sandvicensis; Vireo atricapillus (Black-capped Vireo), becomes Vireo atricapilla; Phylloscopus siilatrix (Wood Warbler), becomes Phylloscopus sibilatrix; and Locustella lanceoloata (Lanceolated Warbler), becomes Locustella lanceolata. (3) Correct the spelling of three scientific names on the taxonomic list: Nesofregetta fuiginosa (Polynesian Storm-Petrel), becomes Nesofregetta fuliginosa; Vireo atricapillus (Black-capped Vireo), becomes Vireo atricapilla; and Tiaris olivacea (Yellow-faced Grassquit), becomes Tiaris olivaceus. PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 65845 (4) Add 11 species based on review and acceptance by AOU (since April 2007) of new distributional records documenting their occurrence in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. These species belong to families covered by the Canadian and/ or Mexican Conventions, and all are considered to be of accidental or casual occurrence. For each species, we list the State in which it has been recorded plus the relevant publication: Parkinson’s Petrel, Procellaria parkinsoni—California (AOU 2008); Swinhoe’s Storm-Petrel, Oceanodroma monorhis—North Carolina (AOU 2010); Swallow-tailed Gull, Creagrus furcatus—California (AOU 2008); Brown Hawk-Owl, Ninox scutulata— Alaska (AOU 2009); White-crested Elaenia, Elaenia albiceps—Texas (AOU 2010); Crowned Slaty Flycatcher, Empidonomus aurantioatrocristatus— Louisiana (AOU 2010); Sinaloa Wren, Thryothorus sinaloa— Arizona (AOU 2010); Pallas’s Leaf-Warbler, Phylloscopus proregulus—Alaska (AOU 2008); Sedge Warbler, Acrocephalus schoenobaenus—Alaska (AOU 2009); Rufous-tailed Robin, Luscinia sibilans—Alaska (AOU 2010); and Yellow-browed Bunting, Emberiza chrysophrys—Alaska (AOU 2009). (5) Add one species because of recent taxonomic changes transferring a species in a family formerly not protected by the MBTA (Timaliidae) into a family protected under the MBTA (Sylviidae). We reference the AOU publication supporting the change: Wrentit, Chamaea fasciata (AOU 2010). (6) Add six species because of recent taxonomic changes in which taxa formerly treated as subspecies have been determined to be distinct species. Given that each of these species was formerly treated as subspecies of a listed species, these additions will not change the protective status of any of these taxa, only the names by which they are known. In each case, we reference the AOU publication supporting the change: Eastern Spot-billed Duck, Anas zonorhyncha—formerly considered a subspecies of Anas poecilorhyncha, Spot-billed Duck (AOU 2008); Black Scoter, Melanitta americana— formerly treated as a subspecies of Melanitta nigra, Common [Black] Scoter (AOU 2009); Mexican Whip-poor-will, Caprimulgus arizonae—formerly treated as a subspecies of Caprimulgus vociferus, Whip-poor-will (AOU 2010); Pacific Wren, Troglodytes pacificus— formerly treated as a subspecies of E:\FR\FM\01NOR3.SGM 01NOR3 65846 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 212 / Friday, November 1, 2013 / Rules and Regulations mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES3 Troglodytes troglodytes, Eurasian [Winter] Wren (AOU 2010); Winter Wren, Troglodytes hiemalis— formerly treated as a subspecies of Troglodytes troglodytes, Eurasian [Winter] Wren (AOU 2010); and Puerto Rican Oriole, Icterus portoricensis—formerly treated as a subspecies of Icterus dominicensis, Hispaniolan [Greater Antillean] Oriole (AOU 2010). (7) Remove four species based on revised taxonomic treatments and distributional evidence confirming that their known geographic ranges lie entirely outside the political boundaries of the United States and its territories. In each case, we reference the AOU publication supporting these changes: Spot-billed Duck, Anas poecilorhyncha (AOU 2008); Common [Black] Scoter, Melanitta nigra (AOU 2009); Eurasian [Winter] Wren, Troglodytes troglodytes (AOU 2010); and Hispaniolan [Greater Antillean] Oriole, Icterus dominicensis (AOU 2010). (8) Revise the common (English) names of nine species to conform to the most recent nomenclatural treatment. These revisions do not change the protective status of any of these taxa, only the names by which they are known. In each case, we reference the published source for the name change: Greater Flamingo, Phoenicopterus ruber, becomes American Flamingo (AOU 2008); Greater Shearwater, Puffinus gravis, becomes Great Shearwater (AOU 2010); Whip-poor-will, Caprimulgus vociferus, becomes Eastern Whip-poorwill (AOU 2010); Green Violet-ear, Colibri thalassinus, becomes Green Violetear (AOU 2008); Blue Rock Thrush, Monticola solitarius, becomes Blue Rock-Thrush (Clements 2007); Clay-colored Robin, Turdus grayi, becomes Clay-colored Thrush (AOU 2008); White-throated Robin, Turdus assimilis, becomes White-throated Thrush (AOU 2008); Nelson’s Sharp-tailed Sparrow, Ammodramus nelsoni, becomes Nelson’s Sparrow (AOU 2009); and Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrow, Ammodramus caudacutus, becomes Saltmarsh Sparrow (AOU 2009). (9) Revise the scientific names of 36 species to conform to the most recent nomenclatural treatment. These revisions do not change the protective status of any of these taxa, only the names by which they are known. In each case, we reference the AOU publication documenting the name change: Larus philadelphia (Bonaparte’s Gull) becomes Chroicocephalus philadelphia (AOU 2008); Larus cirrocephalus (Gray-hooded Gull) becomes Chroicocephalus cirrocephalus (AOU 2008); Larus ridibundus (Black-headed Gull) becomes Chroicocephalus ridibundus (AOU 2008); Larus minutus (Little Gull) becomes Hydrocoloeus minutus (AOU 2008); Larus atricilla (Laughing Gull) becomes Leucophaeus atricilla (AOU 2008); Larus pipixcan (Franklin’s Gull) becomes Leucophaeus pipixcan (AOU 2008); Cyanocorax morio (Brown Jay) becomes Psilorhinus morio (AOU 2010); Poecile hudsonica (Boreal Chickadee) becomes Poecile hudsonicus (AOU 2009); Poecile cincta (Gray-headed Chickadee) becomes Poecile cinctus (AOU 2009); Calcarius mccownii (McCown’s Longspur) becomes Rhynchophanes mccownii (AOU 2010); Vermivora pinus (Blue-winged Warbler) becomes Vermivora cyanoptera (AOU 2010); Vermivora peregrina (Tennessee Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis peregrina (AOU 2010); Vermivora celata (Orange-crowned Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis celata (AOU 2010); Vermivora ruficapilla (Nashville Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis ruficapilla (AOU 2010); Vermivora virginiae (Virginia’s Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis virginiae (AOU 2010); Vermivora crissalis (Colima Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis crissalis (AOU 2010); Vermivora luciae (Lucy’s Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis luciae (AOU 2010); Parula superciliosa (Crescent-chested Warbler) becomes Oreothlypis superciliosa (AOU 2010); Removed (taxonomically) Added (taxonomically) Spot-billed Duck, Anas poecilorhyncha (7) ..............................................

Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\01NOR3.SGM 01NOR3 65848 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 212 / Friday, November 1, 2013 / Rules and Regulations How do the changes implemented here differ from those discussed in the proposed rule? The scientific name of one species spelled erroneously in the proposed rule is corrected to conform to the AOU Check-list (1998) and supplements: Black-capped Vireo, Vireo atricapillus becomes Vireo atricapilla. How is the list of migratory birds organized? The species are listed in two formats to suit the needs of different segments of the public: alphabetically in 50 CFR 10.13(c)(1) and taxonomically in 50 CFR 10.13(c)(2). In the alphabetical listing, species are listed by common (English) group names, with the scientific name of each species following the English group name. This format, similar to that used in modern telephone directories, is most useful to members of the lay public. In the taxonomic listing, species are listed in phylogenetic sequence by scientific name, with the English name following the scientific name. To help clarify species relationships, we also list the higher-level taxonomic categories of Order, Family, and Subfamily. This format follows the sequence adopted by the AOU (1998, 2010) and is most useful to ornithologists and other scientists. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES3 What species are not protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act? The MBTA does not apply to: (1) Nonnative species introduced into the United States or its territories by means of intentional or unintentional human assistance that belong to families or groups covered by the Canadian, Mexican, or Russian Conventions, in accordance with the MBTRA. See 70 FR 12710 (March 15, 2005) for a partial list of nonnative, human-introduced bird species in this category. Note, though, that native species that are introduced into parts of the United States where they are not native are still protected under the MBTA regardless of where they occur in the United States or its territories. (2) Nonnative, human-introduced species that belong to families or groups not covered by the Canadian, Mexican, or Russian Conventions, including Tinamidae (tinamous), Cracidae (chachalacas), Megapodiidae (megapodes), Phasianidae (grouse, ptarmigan, and turkeys), Turnicidae (buttonquails), Odontophoridae (New World quail), Pteroclididae (sandgrouse), Psittacidae (parrots), Dicruridae (drongos), Rhamphastidae (toucans), Musophagidae (turacos), Bucerotidae (hornbills), Bucorvidae (ground-hornbills), Pycnonotidae VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:05 Oct 31, 2013 Jkt 232001 (bulbuls), Pittidae (pittas), Irenidae (fairy-bluebirds), Timaliidae (babblers), Zosteropidae (white-eyes), Sturnidae (starlings; except as listed in the Japanese Convention), Passeridae (Old World sparrows), Ploceidae (weavers), Estrildidae (estrildid finches), and numerous other families not currently represented in the United States or its territories. (3) Native species that belong to families or groups represented in the United States, but which are not expressly mentioned by the Canadian, Mexican, or Russian Conventions, including the Megapodiidae (megapodes), Phasianidae (grouse, ptarmigan, and turkeys), Odontophoridae (New World quail), Burhinidae (thick-knees), Glareolidae (pratincoles), Psittacidae (parrots), Todidae (todies), Meliphagidae (honeyeaters), Monarchidae (monarch flycatchers [elepaios]), Zosteropidae (white-eyes), and Coerebidae (bananaquit). It should be noted that this rule supersedes the 70 FR 12710 notice to the extent that they are inconsistent. Specifically, the 1996 amendment to the Canadian Convention included the family Muscicapidae (Old World flycatchers). Thus, all members of the Muscicapidae family are now included on this list. In addition, the Wrentit is now considered a member of the Sylviidae family rather than the Timaliidae family and is now included on this list. Partial lists of the species included in categories 2 and 3 are available at https://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/ RegulationsPolicies/mbta/ MBTAProtectedNonprotected.html. Responses to Public Comments On April 26, 2011, we published in the Federal Register (76 FR 23428) a proposed rule to revise the list of migratory birds at 50 CFR 10.13. We solicited public comments on the proposed rule for 90 days, ending on July 25, 2011. We received 7 comments in response to the proposed rule; 5 were from agencies, and 2 were from private individuals. The following text discusses the substantive comments we received and provides our responses to them. Comment: One individual indicated that Brown Hawk-Owl, and the 10 other species we proposed to add based on new distributional records (Category 4), should not be added because they are either extremely rare vagrants or were moved by humans. The commenter further pointed out that the MBTA loses biological and ecological credibility when species are added that do not PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 naturally occur in the United States or its territories, and pointed to the Eurasian Kestrel as one example. Response: In 2004, the Migratory Bird Treaty Reform Act (MBTRA; Pub. L. 108–447) amended the MBTA. While the primary purpose of the MBTRA was to eliminate protection for introduced species, it also defined native species as those ‘‘occurring in the United States or its territories as a result of natural biological or ecological processes.’’ Vagrancy is a natural biological process, so these species are protected under the MBTA. There is credible evidence to support our contention that these species have occurred in the United States as natural vagrants unhindered by human intervention. The AOU and other bird record committees take human intervention into account whenever they evaluate such records. Several of these species, including the Brown Hawk-Owl, have occurred in some of the remotest parts of Alaska, and are most unlikely to have been moved there by humans. Furthermore, multiple records of Eurasian Kestrel have been accepted from Western Alaska, and at scattered locations across North America, by the AOU and other competent scientific authorities. Comment: The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission urged the Service to carefully consider the implications to State regulations when making recommendations, and ensure that they do not occur so frequently as to become burdensome. Specifically, they point out that the split of the order Accipitriformes from the Falconiformes will necessitate a change in State falconry regulations. Response: The Service appreciates the State’s concern regarding changes to Federal regulations that affect States, and we make a concerted effort to work closely with the States through the Flyway Councils. To comply with the intent of the migratory bird treaties and the MBTA, we are obligated to update the list at intervals. However, the List of Migratory Birds has been updated only twice since 1985, which is not frequently enough to stay current with changes in bird taxonomy. Consequently, we intend to update this list on a 5-year cycle to coincide with updates to the Birds of Conservation Concern, thus balancing the frequency of updates with the frequency of changes in bird taxonomy. In this update, taxonomic changes at the Order level did not change which species are protected under the MBTA, as the species within those families were previously protected. Furthermore, this is the first change we have made to the E:\FR\FM\01NOR3.SGM 01NOR3 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 212 / Friday, November 1, 2013 / Rules and Regulations Falconiformes since the families within that Order were first protected in 1972. Comment: The Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife (IDFW) was pleased that the Service intends to continue to treat cackling geese as Canada geese, pointing out that hunting management of white-cheeked geese could become more difficult if they were split. The IDFW also pointed out that the Mississippi Flyway Council is trying to simplify hunting regulations for Canada geese, and splitting them into two species for management purposes could cause progress toward simplification to stall. Response: The Service recognizes the management concerns referred to by the commenter. While we appreciate the complexities of white-cheeked goose management, our decision to continue to include the Cackling Goose within the listing for Canada Goose is based on lingering uncertainty regarding their taxonomic relationship. Work is currently being conducted in Alaska and northern Canada to resolve that uncertainty. We will consider new information when it is available, at which time we may reconsider our decision. In any case, regardless of name, goose subspecies identified as Cackling Goose by the AOU are currently protected under the MBTA as Canada Goose. Required Determinations mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES3 Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Order 12866) Executive Order (EO) 12866 provides that the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the Office of Management and Budget will review all significant rules. OIRA has determined that this rule is not significant. EO 13563 reaffirms the principles of EO 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. EO 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. EO 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. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:05 Oct 31, 2013 Jkt 232001 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 (i.e., small businesses, small organizations, and small government jurisdictions). However, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required if the head of an agency certifies the rule does 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, because we are simply updating the list of migratory bird species protected under the Conventions. Consequently, we certify that because this rule does not have a significant economic effect on a substantial number of small entities, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required. This rule is not a major rule under SBREFA (5 U.S.C. 804(2)). It does not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. a. This rule does not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more. b. This rule does not cause a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government agencies, or geographic regions. c. This rule does not have significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreignbased enterprises. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act In accordance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.), we have determined the following: a. This rule does not ‘‘significantly or uniquely’’ affect small governments. A small government agency plan is not required. Actions under the regulation PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 65849 do not affect small government activities in any significant way. b. This rule does not produce a Federal mandate of $100 million or greater in any year; i.e., it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. Takings In accordance with Executive Order 12630, the rule does not have significant takings implications. This rule does not contain a provision for taking of private property. Therefore, a takings implication assessment is not required. Federalism This rule does not have sufficient Federalism effects to warrant preparation of a Federalism summary impact statement under Executive Order 13132. It does not interfere with the States’ ability to manage themselves or their funds. No significant economic impacts are expected to result from the updating of the list of migratory bird species. Civil Justice Reform In accordance with Executive Order 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 We examined this rule under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). There are no new information collection requirements associated with this rule. We do not require any new permits, reports, or recordkeeping in this rule. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Given that the revision of 50 CFR 10.13 is strictly administrative in nature and will have no or minor environmental effects, it is categorically excluded from further NEPA requirements (43 CFR 46.210(i)). Endangered Species Act (ESA) Seventy-four of the species on the List of Migratory Birds are also designated as endangered or threatened in all or some portion of their U.S. range under provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531–44; 50 CFR 17.11). No legal complications arise from the dual listing as the two lists are developed under separate authorities and for different purposes. Because the rule is strictly administrative in nature, it has no effect on threatened or endangered species. It does not require ESA consultation. E:\FR\FM\01NOR3.SGM 01NOR3 65850 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 212 / Friday, November 1, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 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), Executive Order 13175, and 512 DM 2, we have evaluated potential effects on federally recognized Indian tribes and have determined that there are no potential effects. The revisions to existing regulations in this rule are purely administrative in nature and do not interfere with the tribes’ ability to manage themselves or their funds or to regulate migratory bird activities on tribal lands. Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (Executive Order 13211) On May 18, 2001, the President issued Executive Order 13211 addressing regulations that significantly affect energy supply, distribution, and use. Executive Order 13211 requires agencies to prepare Statements of Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. Because this rule only affects the listing of protected species in the United States, it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, and does 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.

The legal authorities for this list are the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703–712), the Fish and Wildlife Improvement Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 742l), and the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a–742j). The MBTA implements Conventions between the United States and four neighboring countries for the protection of migratory birds, as follows: (1) Canada: Convention between the United States and Great Britain [on behalf of Canada] for the Protection of Migratory Birds, August 16, 1916, 39 Stat. 1702 (T.S. No. 628), as amended; (2) Mexico: Convention between the United States and Mexico for the Protection of Migratory Birds and Game Mammals, February 7, 1936, 50 Stat. 1311 (T.S. No. 912), as amended; (3) Japan: Convention between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Japan for the Protection of Migratory Birds and Birds in Danger of Extinction, and Their Environment, March 4, 1972, 25 U.S.T. 3329 (T.I.A.S. No. 7990); and (4) Russia: Convention between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Concerning the Conservation of Migratory Birds and Their Environment, November 19, 1976, 20 U.S.T. 4647 (T.I.A.S. No. 9073). (b) Purpose of this list. The purpose is to inform the public of the species protected by regulations that enforce the terms of the MBTA. These regulations, found in parts 10, 20, and 21 of this chapter, cover most aspects of the taking, possession, transportation, sale, purchase, barter, exportation, and importation of migratory birds. (c) What species are protected as migratory birds? Species protected as migratory birds are listed in two formats to suit the varying needs of the user: Alphabetically in paragraph (c)(1) of this section and taxonomically in paragraph (c)(2) of this section. Taxonomy and nomenclature generally follow the 7th edition of the American Ornithologists’ Union’s Check-list of North American birds (1998, as amended through 2010). For species not treated by the AOU Check-list, we generally follow The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World (Clements 2007). (1) Alphabetical listing. Species are listed alphabetically by common (English) group names, with the scientific name of each species following the common name.

General Provisions; Revised List of Migratory Birds

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, revise the List of 
Migratory Birds by both adding and removing species. Reasons for the 
changes to the list include adding species based on new taxonomy and 
new evidence of occurrence in the United States or U.S. territories, 
removing species no longer known to occur within the United States, and 
changing names to conform to accepted use. The net increase of 19 
species (23 added and 4 removed) brings the total number of species 
protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) to 1,026. We regulate 
most aspects of the taking, possession, transportation, sale, purchase, 
barter, exportation, and importation of migratory birds. An accurate 
and up-to-date list of species protected by the MBTA is essential for 
public notification and regulatory purposes.

DATES: This rule is effective December 2, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Allen at 703-358-1825.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

What statutory authority does the service have for this rulemaking?

    We have statutory authority and responsibility for enforcing the 
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703-712), the Fish and 
Wildlife Improvement Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 742l), and the Fish and 
Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a-j). The MBTA implements 
Conventions between the United States and four neighboring countries 
for the protection of migratory birds, as follows:
    (1) Canada: Convention between the United States and Great Britain 
[on behalf of Canada] for the Protection of Migratory Birds, August 16, 
1916, 39 Stat. 1702 (T.S. No. 628);
    (2) Mexico: Convention between the United States and Mexico for the 
Protection of Migratory Birds and Game Mammals, February 7, 1936, 50 
Stat. 1311 (T.S. No. 912);
    (3) Japan: Convention between the Government of the United States 
of America and the Government of Japan for the Protection of Migratory 
Birds and Birds in Danger of Extinction, and Their Environment, March 
4, 1972, 25 U.S.T. 3329 (T.I.A.S. No. 7990); and
    (4) Russia: Convention between the United States of America and the 
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Concerning the Conservation of 
Migratory Birds and Their Environment (Russia), November 19, 1976, 29 
U.S.T. 4647 (T.I.A.S. No. 9073).

What is the purpose of this rulemaking?

    Our purpose is to inform the public of the species protected by the 
MBTA and its implementing regulations. These regulations are found in 
Title 50, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 10, 20, and 21. We 
regulate most aspects of the taking, possession, transportation, sale, 
purchase, barter, exportation, and importation of migratory birds. An 
accurate and up-to-date list of species protected by the MBTA is 
essential for regulatory purposes.

Why is this amendment of the list of migratory birds necessary?

    The amendment is needed to: (1) Add five species previously 
overlooked from a family protected under the MBTA; (2) correct the 
spelling of six species on the alphabetized list; (3) correct the 
spelling of three species on the taxonomic list; (4) add 11 species 
based on new distributional records documenting their natural 
occurrence in the United States since April 2007; (5) add one species 
from a family now protected under the MBTA as a result of taxonomic 
changes; (6) add six species newly recognized as a result of recent 
taxonomic changes; (7) remove four species not known to occur within 
the boundaries of the United States or its territories as a result of 
recent taxonomic changes; (8) change the common (English) names of nine 
species to conform with accepted use; and (9) change the scientific 
names of 36 species to conform to accepted use.
    The List of Migratory Birds (50 CFR 10.13) was last revised on 
March 1, 2010 (75 FR 9282). These amendments were necessitated by three 
published supplements to the 7th (1998) edition of the American 
Ornithologists' Union's (AOU's) Check-list of North American birds (AOU 
2008, AOU 2009, and AOU 2010).
    In addition, we correct the legal authorities citations at 50 CFR 
10.13(a).
    We also make a small change to a definition in 50 CFR 21.3. We 
update the definition of ``raptor'' to also include the Order 
Accipitriformes, corresponding to recent taxonomic changes reflected in 
the List of Migratory Birds.

What scientific authorities are used to amend the list of migratory 
birds?

    Although bird names (common and scientific) are relatively stable, 
staying current with standardized use is necessary to avoid confusion 
in communications. In making our determinations, we primarily relied on 
the American Ornithologists' Union's Check-list of North American birds 
(AOU 1998), as amended (AOU 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 
2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010), on matters of taxonomy, nomenclature, and 
the sequence of species and other higher taxonomic categories (orders, 
families, subfamilies) for species that occur in North America. The AOU 
Checklist contains all bird species that have occurred in North America 
from the Arctic through Panama, including the West Indies and the 
Hawaiian Islands, and includes distributional information for each 
species, which specifies whether the species is known to occur in the 
United States. For the 39 species that occur outside the geographic 
area covered by the Check-list (28 that occur in the Pacific island 
territories and 11 listed in the Japanese and/or Russian conventions 
that have not occurred in the AOU area), we relied primarily on 
Clements (2007). Although we primarily rely on the above checklists, 
when informed taxonomic opinion is inconsistent or controversial, we 
evaluate available published and unpublished information and come to 
our own conclusion regarding the validity of taxa.

What criteria are used to identify individual species protected by the 
MBTA?

    A species qualifies for protection under the MBTA by meeting one or 
more of the following four criteria:
    (1) It is covered by the Canadian Convention of 1916, as amended in 
1996, by virtue of meeting the following three criteria: (a) It belongs 
to a family or group of species named in the Canadian Convention, as 
amended; (b) specimens, photographs, videotape recordings, or audiotape 
recordings provide convincing evidence of natural occurrence in the 
United States or its territories; and (c) the documentation of such 
records has been recognized by the AOU or other competent scientific 
authorities.
    (2) It is covered by the Mexican Convention of 1936, as amended in

[[Page 65845]]

1972, by virtue of meeting the following three criteria: (a) It belongs 
to a family or group of species named in the Mexican Convention, as 
amended; (b) specimens, photographs, videotape recordings, or audiotape 
recordings provide convincing evidence of natural occurrence in the 
United States or its territories; and (c) the documentation of such 
records has been recognized by the AOU or other competent scientific 
authorities.
    (3) It is listed in the annex to the Japanese Convention of 1972, 
as amended.
    (4) It is listed in the appendix to the Russian Convention of 1976.
    In accordance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Reform Act of 2004 
(MBTRA) (Pub. L. 108-447, 118 Stat. 2809, 3071-72), we include all 
species native to the United States or its territories, which are those 
that occur as a result of natural biological or ecological processes 
(see 70 FR 12710, March 15, 2005). We do not include nonnative species 
whose occurrences in the United States are solely the result of 
intentional or unintentional human-assisted introduction(s).

How do the changes affect the list of migratory birds?

    Several taxonomic changes were made at the Order and Family level 
by the AOU since our 2010 publication of the list (75 FR 9282, March 1, 
2010). These changes affect the inclusion and taxonomic order of 
species on this list. Specifically, the Orders Phaethontiformes and 
Suliformes were split from the Pelecaniformes. Phaethontiformes now 
includes the Family Phaethontidae (tropicbirds); Suliformes now 
includes the Families Fregatidae (frigatebirds), Sulidae (boobys), 
Phalacrocoracidae (cormorants), and Anhingidae (anhingas). In addition, 
the Order Accipitriformes was split from the Falconiformes and now 
include the Families Cathartidae (vultures), Pandionidae (Osprey), and 
Accipitridae (hawks and eagles). At the Family level, the Ardeidae 
(herons and egrets) and Threskiornithidae (ibis and spoonbills) were 
moved from the Ciconiiformes to the Pelecaniformes Order, the 
Pandionidae (Osprey) was split from the Accipitridae (hawks and 
eagles), and the Stercorariidae (jaegers and skuas) was split from the 
Laridae (gulls, terns, and skimmers). The Polioptilidae (gnatcatchers), 
Phylloscopidae (Phylloscopus warblers), Acrocephalidae (Acrocephalus 
warblers), and Megaluridae (Locustella warblers) were split from the 
Sylviidae, and the Calcariidae (longspurs and snow buntings) was split 
from the Emberizidae (buntings and sparrows). The euphonias were put 
into their own Subfamily (Euphoniinae) and moved from the Thraupidae to 
the Fringillidae Family. All species within these newly created 
Families continue to be protected under the MBTA. In addition, the 
Wrentit was moved from the Timaliidae (babblers) to the Sylviidae and 
is now in a Family protected by the MBTA.
    The amendments (23 additions, 4 removals, and 54 name changes) 
affect a grand total of 79 species and result in a net addition of 19 
species to the List of Migratory Birds, increasing the species total 
from 1,007 to 1,026. Of the 23 species that we add to the list, 6 were 
previously covered under the MBTA as subspecies of listed species. 
These amendments can be logically arranged in the following 9 
categories:
    (1) Add five species from the family Muscicapidae, a family 
specifically listed in the 1996 protocol amending the 1916 convention 
with Canada. The omission of these species on the previous list was an 
oversight. All are considered accidental or casual in Alaska. The 
species and relevant AOU publication(s) are:
    Mugimaki Flycatcher, Ficedula mugimaki (AOU 1987, 1997, 1998);

Nesofregetta fuliginosa;
    Thalleseus maximus (Royal Tern), becomes Thalasseus maximus;
    Thalleseus sandvicensis (Sandwich Tern), becomes Thalasseus 
sandvicensis;
    Vireo atricapillus (Black-capped Vireo), becomes Vireo atricapilla;
    Phylloscopus siilatrix (Wood Warbler), becomes Phylloscopus 
sibilatrix; and
    Locustella lanceoloata (Lanceolated Warbler), becomes Locustella 
lanceolata.
    (3) Correct the spelling of three scientific names on the taxonomic 
list:

    (4) Add 11 species based on review and acceptance by AOU (since 
April 2007) of new distributional records documenting their occurrence 
in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. These 
species belong to families covered by the Canadian and/or Mexican 
Conventions, and all are considered to be of accidental or casual 
occurrence. For each species, we list the State in which it has been 
recorded plus the relevant publication:
    Parkinson's Petrel, Procellaria parkinsoni--California (AOU 2008);
    Swinhoe's Storm-Petrel, Oceanodroma monorhis--North Carolina (AOU 
2010);
    Swallow-tailed Gull, Creagrus furcatus--California (AOU 2008);
    Brown Hawk-Owl, Ninox scutulata--Alaska (AOU 2009);
    White-crested Elaenia, Elaenia albiceps--Texas (AOU 2010);

    Yellow-browed Bunting, Emberiza chrysophrys--Alaska (AOU 2009).
    (5) Add one species because of recent taxonomic changes 
transferring a species in a family formerly not protected by the MBTA 
(Timaliidae) into a family protected under the MBTA (Sylviidae). We 
reference the AOU publication supporting the change:
    Wrentit, Chamaea fasciata (AOU 2010).
    (6) Add six species because of recent taxonomic changes in which 
taxa formerly treated as subspecies have been determined to be distinct 
species. Given that each of these species was formerly treated as 
subspecies of a listed species, these additions will not change the 
protective status of any of these taxa, only the names by which they 
are known. In each case, we reference the AOU publication supporting 
the change:
    Eastern Spot-billed Duck, Anas zonorhyncha--formerly considered a 
subspecies of Anas poecilorhyncha, Spot-billed Duck (AOU 2008);
    Black Scoter, Melanitta americana--formerly treated as a subspecies 
of Melanitta nigra, Common [Black] Scoter (AOU 2009);

subspecies of Icterus dominicensis, Hispaniolan [Greater Antillean] 
Oriole (AOU 2010).
    (7) Remove four species based on revised taxonomic treatments and 
distributional evidence confirming that their known geographic ranges 
lie entirely outside the political boundaries of the United States and 
its territories. In each case, we reference the AOU publication 
supporting these changes:
    Spot-billed Duck, Anas poecilorhyncha (AOU 2008);
    Common [Black] Scoter, Melanitta nigra (AOU 2009);
    Eurasian [Winter] Wren, Troglodytes troglodytes (AOU 2010); and
    Hispaniolan [Greater Antillean] Oriole, Icterus dominicensis (AOU 
2010).
    (8) Revise the common (English) names of nine species to conform to 
the most recent nomenclatural treatment. These revisions do not change 
the protective status of any of these taxa, only the names by which 
they are known. In each case, we reference the published source for the 
name change:
    Greater Flamingo, Phoenicopterus ruber, becomes American Flamingo 
(AOU 2008);
    Greater Shearwater, Puffinus gravis, becomes Great Shearwater (AOU 
2010);

2008);
    White-throated Robin, Turdus assimilis, becomes White-throated 
Thrush (AOU 2008);
    Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow, Ammodramus nelsoni, becomes Nelson's 
Sparrow (AOU 2009); and
    Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrow, Ammodramus caudacutus, becomes 
Saltmarsh Sparrow (AOU 2009).
    (9) Revise the scientific names of 36 species to conform to the 
most recent nomenclatural treatment. These revisions do not change the 
protective status of any of these taxa, only the names by which they 
are known. In each case, we reference the AOU publication documenting 
the name change:
    Larus philadelphia (Bonaparte's Gull) becomes Chroicocephalus 
philadelphia (AOU 2008);

How do the changes implemented here differ from those discussed in the 
proposed rule?

    The scientific name of one species spelled erroneously in the 
proposed rule is corrected to conform to the AOU Check-list (1998) and 
supplements:
    Black-capped Vireo, Vireo atricapillus becomes Vireo atricapilla.

How is the list of migratory birds organized?

    The species are listed in two formats to suit the needs of 
different segments of the public: alphabetically in 50 CFR 10.13(c)(1) 
and taxonomically in 50 CFR 10.13(c)(2). In the alphabetical listing, 
species are listed by common (English) group names, with the scientific 
name of each species following the English group name. This format, 
similar to that used in modern telephone directories, is most useful to 
members of the lay public. In the taxonomic listing, species are listed 
in phylogenetic sequence by scientific name, with the English name 
following the scientific name. To help clarify species relationships, 
we also list the higher-level taxonomic categories of Order, Family, 
and Subfamily. This format follows the sequence adopted by the AOU 
(1998, 2010) and is most useful to ornithologists and other scientists.

What species are not protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act?

    The MBTA does not apply to:
    (1) Nonnative species introduced into the United States or its 
territories by means of intentional or unintentional human assistance 
that belong to families or groups covered by the Canadian, Mexican, or 
Russian Conventions, in accordance with the MBTRA. See 70 FR 12710 
(March 15, 2005) for a partial list of nonnative, human-introduced bird 
species in this category. Note, though, that native species that are 
introduced into parts of the United States where they are not native 
are still protected under the MBTA regardless of where they occur in 
the United States or its territories.
    (2) Nonnative, human-introduced species that belong to families or 
groups not covered by the Canadian, Mexican, or Russian Conventions, 
including Tinamidae (tinamous), Cracidae (chachalacas), Megapodiidae 
(megapodes), Phasianidae (grouse, ptarmigan, and turkeys), Turnicidae 
(buttonquails), Odontophoridae (New World quail), Pteroclididae 
(sandgrouse), Psittacidae (parrots), Dicruridae (drongos), 
Rhamphastidae (toucans), Musophagidae (turacos), Bucerotidae 
(hornbills), Bucorvidae (ground-hornbills), Pycnonotidae (bulbuls), 
Pittidae (pittas), Irenidae (fairy-bluebirds), Timaliidae (babblers), 
Zosteropidae (white-eyes), Sturnidae (starlings; except as listed in 
the Japanese Convention), Passeridae (Old World sparrows), Ploceidae 
(weavers), Estrildidae (estrildid finches), and numerous other families 
not currently represented in the United States or its territories.
    (3) Native species that belong to families or groups represented in 
the United States, but which are not expressly mentioned by the 
Canadian, Mexican, or Russian Conventions, including the Megapodiidae 
(megapodes), Phasianidae (grouse, ptarmigan, and turkeys), 
Odontophoridae (New World quail), Burhinidae (thick-knees), Glareolidae 
(pratincoles), Psittacidae (parrots), Todidae (todies), Meliphagidae 
(honeyeaters), Monarchidae (monarch flycatchers [elepaios]), 
Zosteropidae (white-eyes), and Coerebidae (bananaquit). It should be 
noted that this rule supersedes the 70 FR 12710 notice to the extent 
that they are inconsistent. Specifically, the 1996 amendment to the 
Canadian Convention included the family Muscicapidae (Old World 
flycatchers). Thus, all members of the Muscicapidae family are now 
included on this list. In addition, the Wrentit is now considered a 
member of the Sylviidae family rather than the Timaliidae family and is 
now included on this list.
    Partial lists of the species included in categories 2 and 3 are 
available at https://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/RegulationsPolicies/mbta/MBTAProtectedNonprotected.html.

Responses to Public Comments

    On April 26, 2011, we published in the Federal Register (76 FR 
23428) a proposed rule to revise the list of migratory birds at 50 CFR 
10.13. We solicited public comments on the proposed rule for 90 days, 
ending on July 25, 2011.
    We received 7 comments in response to the proposed rule; 5 were 
from agencies, and 2 were from private individuals. The following text 
discusses the substantive comments we received and provides our 
responses to them.
    Comment: One individual indicated that Brown Hawk-Owl, and the 10 
other species we proposed to add based on new distributional records 
(Category 4), should not be added because they are either extremely 
rare vagrants or were moved by humans. The commenter further pointed 
out that the MBTA loses biological and ecological credibility when 
species are added that do not naturally occur in the United States or 
its territories, and pointed to the Eurasian Kestrel as one example.
    Response: In 2004, the Migratory Bird Treaty Reform Act (MBTRA; 
Pub. L. 108-447) amended the MBTA. While the primary purpose of the 
MBTRA was to eliminate protection for introduced species, it also 
defined native species as those ``occurring in the United States or its 
territories as a result of natural biological or ecological 
processes.'' Vagrancy is a natural biological process, so these species 
are protected under the MBTA.
    There is credible evidence to support our contention that these 
species have occurred in the United States as natural vagrants 
unhindered by human intervention. The AOU and other bird record 
committees take human intervention into account whenever they evaluate 
such records. Several of these species, including the Brown Hawk-Owl, 
have occurred in some of the remotest parts of Alaska, and are most 
unlikely to have been moved there by humans. Furthermore, multiple 
records of Eurasian Kestrel have been accepted from Western Alaska, and 
at scattered locations across North America, by the AOU and other 
competent scientific authorities.
    Comment: The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission urged the Service to 
carefully consider the implications to State regulations when making 
recommendations, and ensure that they do not occur so frequently as to 
become burdensome. Specifically, they point out that the split of the 
order Accipitriformes from the Falconiformes will necessitate a change 
in State falconry regulations.
    Response: The Service appreciates the State's concern regarding 
changes to Federal regulations that affect States, and we make a 
concerted effort to work closely with the States through the Flyway 
Councils. To comply with the intent of the migratory bird treaties and 
the MBTA, we are obligated to update the list at intervals. However, 
the List of Migratory Birds has been updated only twice since 1985, 
which is not frequently enough to stay current with changes in bird 
taxonomy. Consequently, we intend to update this list on a 5-year cycle 
to coincide with updates to the Birds of Conservation Concern, thus 
balancing the frequency of updates with the frequency of changes in 
bird taxonomy. In this update, taxonomic changes at the Order level did 
not change which species are protected under the MBTA, as the species 
within those families were previously protected. Furthermore, this is 
the first change we have made to the

[[Page 65849]]

Falconiformes since the families within that Order were first protected 
in 1972.
    Comment: The Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife (IDFW) was 
pleased that the Service intends to continue to treat cackling geese as 
Canada geese, pointing out that hunting management of white-cheeked 
geese could become more difficult if they were split. The IDFW also 
pointed out that the Mississippi Flyway Council is trying to simplify 
hunting regulations for Canada geese, and splitting them into two 
species for management purposes could cause progress toward 
simplification to stall.
    Response: The Service recognizes the management concerns referred 
to by the commenter. While we appreciate the complexities of white-
cheeked goose management, our decision to continue to include the 
Cackling Goose within the listing for Canada Goose is based on 
lingering uncertainty regarding their taxonomic relationship. Work is 
currently being conducted in Alaska and northern Canada to resolve that 
uncertainty. We will consider new information when it is available, at 
which time we may reconsider our decision. In any case, regardless of 
name, goose subspecies identified as Cackling Goose by the AOU are 
currently protected under the MBTA as Canada Goose.

Required Determinations

Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Order 12866)

    Executive Order (EO) 12866 provides that the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the Office of Management and Budget 
will review all significant rules. OIRA has determined that this rule 
is not significant.
    EO 13563 reaffirms the principles of EO 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. 
EO 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.
    EO 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 (i.e., 
small businesses, small organizations, and small government 
jurisdictions). However, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required 
if the head of an agency certifies the rule does 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, 
because we are simply updating the list of migratory bird species 
protected under the Conventions. Consequently, we certify that because 
this rule does not have a significant economic effect on a substantial 
number of small entities, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not 
required.
    This rule is not a major rule under SBREFA (5 U.S.C. 804(2)). It 
does not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    a. This rule does not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 
million or more.
    b. This rule does not cause a major increase in costs or prices for 
consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government 
agencies, or geographic regions.
    c. This rule does 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

    In accordance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 
et seq.), we have determined the following:
    a. This rule does not ``significantly or uniquely'' affect small 
governments. A small government agency plan is not required. Actions 
under the regulation do not affect small government activities in any 
significant way.
    b. This rule does not produce a Federal mandate of $100 million or 
greater in any year; i.e., it is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

Takings

    In accordance with Executive Order 12630, the rule does not have 
significant takings implications. This rule does not contain a 
provision for taking of private property. Therefore, a takings 
implication assessment is not required.

Federalism

    This rule does not have sufficient Federalism effects to warrant 
preparation of a Federalism summary impact statement under Executive 
Order 13132. It does not interfere with the States' ability to manage 
themselves or their funds. No significant economic impacts are expected 
to result from the updating of the list of migratory bird species.

Civil Justice Reform

    In accordance with Executive Order 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

    We examined this rule under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). There are no new information collection 
requirements associated with this rule. We do not require any new 
permits, reports, or recordkeeping in this rule.

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

    Given that the revision of 50 CFR 10.13 is strictly administrative 
in nature and will have no or minor environmental effects, it is 
categorically excluded from further NEPA requirements (43 CFR 
46.210(i)).

Endangered Species Act (ESA)

    Seventy-four of the species on the List of Migratory Birds are also 
designated as endangered or threatened in all or some portion of their 
U.S. range under provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 
U.S.C. 1531-44; 50 CFR 17.11). No legal complications arise from the 
dual listing as the two lists are developed under separate authorities 
and for different purposes. Because the rule is strictly administrative 
in nature, it has no effect on threatened or endangered species. It 
does not require ESA consultation.

[[Page 65850]]

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), Executive Order 13175, and 512 DM 2, we 
have evaluated potential effects on federally recognized Indian tribes 
and have determined that there are no potential effects. The revisions 
to existing regulations in this rule are purely administrative in 
nature and do not interfere with the tribes' ability to manage 
themselves or their funds or to regulate migratory bird activities on 
tribal lands.

Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (Executive Order 13211)

    On May 18, 2001, the President issued Executive Order 13211 
addressing regulations that significantly affect energy supply, 
distribution, and use. Executive Order 13211 requires agencies to 
prepare Statements of Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. 
Because this rule only affects the listing of protected species in the 
United States, it is not a significant regulatory action under 
Executive Order 12866, and does 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.

2. Revise Sec.  10.13 to read as follows:


Sec.  10.13  List of Migratory Birds.

    (a) Legal authority for this list. The legal authorities for this 
list are the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703-712), the 
Fish and Wildlife Improvement Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 742l), and the 
Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a-742j). The MBTA 
implements Conventions between the United States and four neighboring 
countries for the protection of migratory birds, as follows:
    (1) Canada: Convention between the United States and Great Britain 
[on behalf of Canada] for the Protection of Migratory Birds, August 16, 
1916, 39 Stat. 1702 (T.S. No. 628), as amended;
    (2) Mexico: Convention between the United States and Mexico for the 
Protection of Migratory Birds and Game Mammals, February 7, 1936, 50 
Stat. 1311 (T.S. No. 912), as amended;
    (3) Japan: Convention between the Government of the United States 
of America and the Government of Japan for the Protection of Migratory 
Birds and Birds in Danger of Extinction, and Their Environment, March 
4, 1972, 25 U.S.T. 3329 (T.I.A.S. No. 7990); and
    (4) Russia: Convention between the United States of America and the 
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Concerning the Conservation of 
Migratory Birds and Their Environment, November 19, 1976, 20 U.S.T. 
4647 (T.I.A.S. No. 9073).
    (b) Purpose of this list. The purpose is to inform the public of 
the species protected by regulations that enforce the terms of the 
MBTA. These regulations, found in parts 10, 20, and 21 of this chapter, 
cover most aspects of the taking, possession, transportation, sale, 
purchase, barter, exportation, and importation of migratory birds.
    (c) What species are protected as migratory birds? Species 
protected as migratory birds are listed in two formats to suit the 
varying needs of the user: Alphabetically in paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section and taxonomically in paragraph (c)(2) of this section. Taxonomy 
and nomenclature generally follow the 7th edition of the American 
Ornithologists' Union's Check-list of North American birds (1998, as 
amended through 2010). For species not treated by the AOU Check-list, 
we generally follow The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World 
(Clements 2007).
    (1) Alphabetical listing. Species are listed alphabetically by 
common (English) group names, with the scientific name of each species 
following the common name.
