respect to the effective date of this

III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This action stays and defers Federal
sanctions and imposes no additional
requirements.
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and
therefore is not subject to review by the
Office of Management and Budget.
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66
FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it is
not a significant regulatory action.
The administrator certifies that this
action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.).
This rule does not contain any
unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as
described in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4).
This rule does not have tribal
implications because it will not have a
substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal government and Indian tribes,
as specified by Executive Order 13175
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
This action does not have Federalism
implications because it does not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government, as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999).
This rule is not subject to Executive
Order 13045, ‘‘Protection of Children
from Environmental Health Risks and
Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997), because it is not economically
significant.
The requirements of section 12(d) of
the National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272) do not apply to this rule because
it imposes no standards.

Jkt 232001
This rule does not impose an
information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report to Congress and the
Comptroller General. However, section
808 provides that any rule for which the
issuing agency for good cause finds that
notice and public procedure thereon are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest, shall take effect at
such time as the agency promulgating
the rule determines. 5 U.S.C. 808(2).
EPA has made such a good cause
finding, including the reasons therefore,
and established an effective date of July
23, 2014. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S.
House of Representatives, and the
Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by September 22, 2014. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this rule for the
purpose of judicial review nor does it
extend the time within which petition
for judicial review may be filed, and
shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements (see section
307(b)(2)).

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), are amending
the List of Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife (List) by adding several marine
taxa, removing one species, and revising
the entries of many more in accordance
with the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (Act). These
amendments are based on previously
published determinations by the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
Department of Commerce, which has
jurisdiction for these species.
DATES: This rule is effective July 23,
2014. For the applicability date for the
status of newly listed taxa, see the
individual species documents
referenced in SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
In accordance with the Act (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) and Reorganization Plan
No. 4 of 1970 (35 FR 15627; October 6,
1970), NMFS has jurisdiction over the
marine and anadromous taxa specified
in this rule. Under section 4(a)(2) of the
Act, NMFS must decide whether a
species under its jurisdiction should be
classified as endangered or threatened.
NMFS makes these determinations via
its rulemaking process. We, the Service,
are then responsible for publishing final
rules to amend the List in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
17.11(h).
As described below and set forth at
the table in the rule portion of this
document, NMFS has published rules
regarding each of the species mentioned
in this rule. Section 4(a)(2)(A) applies to
all of the rules except that for the Steller
sea lion (Eastern DPS); with respect to
those rules, by publishing this final rule,

we are simply taking the necessary
administrative step to codify these
changes in the CFR 4(a)(2)(B) applies to
the NMFS’s recommendation to delist
the Steller sea lion (Eastern DPS); we
have concurred with NMFS’s
recommendation, and this rule
implements that action. In the lists
below, DPS stands for distinct
population segment, ESU stands for
evolutionarily significant unit, and XN
stands for nonessential experimental
population.
Listings
We are adding the following 16
species to the List based on NMFS final
rules:
• Steelhead (Middle Columbia River
DPS), designation of nonessential
experimental population (XN) (78 FR
2893; January 15, 2013)
• Seal, bearded (Beringia DPS), as
threatened (77 FR 76740; December
28, 2012)
• Seal, bearded (Okhotsk DPS), as
threatened (77 FR 76740; December
28, 2012)
• Seal, ringed (Arctic subspecies), as
threatened (77 FR 76706; December
28, 2012)
• Seal, ringed (Baltic subspecies), as
threatened (77 FR 76706; December
28, 2012)
• Seal, ringed (Ladoga subspecies), as
endangered (77 FR 76706; December
28, 2012)
• Seal, ringed (Okhotsk subspecies), as
threatened (77 FR 76706; December
28, 2012)
• Whale, false killer (Main Hawaiian
Islands Insular DPS), as endangered
(77 FR 70915; November 28, 2012)
• Salmon, coho (Central California
Coast ESU), reaffirmed as endangered
but with range extension (77 FR
19552; April 2, 2012)
• Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic
subspecies; Carolina DPS), as
endangered (77 FR 5914; February 6,
2012)
• Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic
subspecies; Chesapeake Bay DPS), as
endangered (77 FR 5880; February 6,
2012)
• Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic
subspecies; Gulf of Maine DPS), as
threatened (77 FR 5880; February 6,
2012)
• Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic
subspecies; New York Bight DPS), as
endangered (77 FR 5880; February 6,
2012)
• Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic
subspecies; South Atlantic DPS), as
endangered (77 FR 5914; February 6,
2012)
• Sawfish, largetooth, as endangered (76
FR 40822; July 12, 2011)
VerDate Mar<15>2010

• Salmon, coho (Oregon Coast ESU), as
threatened with critical habitat (76 FR
35755; June 20, 2011) reaffirming
listing (73 FR 7816; February 11,
2008)
Please note: The Oregon Coast coho
salmon ESU was listed on August 10,
1998, as threatened (63 FR 42587), but
in 2001, the U.S. District Court in
Eugene, Oregon, set aside that listing
(Alsea Valley Alliance v. Evans, 161 F.
Supp 2d 1154, (D. Or. 2001)). On
February 11, 2008, NMFS listed the
Oregon Coast coho salmon ESU as
threatened, issued protective regulations
under section 4(d) of the Act (known as
a 4(d) rule), and designated critical
habitat (73 FR 7816). As a result of
another court challenge (Douglas
County v. Balsiger (Civ. No. 08–1547; D.
Or. 2008)), NMFS reached a settlement
with the litigants and agreed to conduct
another status review of the ESU. After
conducting the additional status review,
NMFS affirmed the status for this ESU
by promulgating a rule to supersede its
February 11, 2008, listing determination
(76 FR 35755; June 20, 2011).
Delisting
We are removing the following
species from the List based on a NMFS
final rule:
• Sea lion, Steller (Eastern DPS) (78 FR
66140; November 4, 2013)
Critical Habitat
We are adding critical habitat to the
following species based on a NMFS
final rule:
• Abalone, black (76 FR 66806; October
27, 2011)
• Eulachon, Pacific (Southern DPS) (76
FR 65324; October 20, 2011)
• Whale, beluga (Cook Inlet DPS) (76 FR
20180; April 11, 2011)
Updating
We are updating 42 entries on the List
by referencing the respective NMFS
Lists at 50 CFR 223.102 or 50 CFR
224.101 in the ‘‘Vertebrate population
where endangered or threatened’’
column to make it easier for the
public to identify and obtain the

public. Updates include: corrections to
the scientific and common names of
species that were either misspelled or
omitted in error in previous Federal
Register notices; grouping change;

Changes to Common Names
We are changing the presentation of
the common names of the following
species to conform with the way that
NMFS refers to these species:
• ‘‘Dolphin, Indus River’’ will now
appear on the List as ‘‘Dolphin, South
Asian River (Indus River subspecies).’’
• ‘‘Eulachon, Pacific (Southern DPS)’’
will now appear on the List as
‘‘Eulachon (Southern DPS).’’
• ‘‘Sea-lion, Steller’’ will now appear
on the List as ‘‘Sea lion, Steller (Western
DPS).’’
• ‘‘Seal, Saimaa’’ will now appear on
the List as ‘‘Seal, ringed (Saimaa
subspecies).’’
• ‘‘Sturgeon, Gulf’’ will now appear
on the List as ‘‘Sturgeon, Atlantic (Gulf

• ‘‘Sturgeon, North American green

List as ‘‘Sturgeon, green (Southern

• ‘‘Sturgeon, white’’ will now appear
on the List as ‘‘Sturgeon, white
(Kootenai River DPS).’’
Administrative Procedure Act
Because NMFS provided a public
comment period on each of the
proposed rules for these taxa, we find
good cause that the notice and public
comment procedures of 5 U.S.C. 553(b)
are unnecessary for this action. We also
find good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)
to make this rule effective immediately
under publication. The NMFS rules
extended protection under the Act to
these species and listed them in 50 CFR
parts 223 and 224 or designated critical
habitat under 50 CFR part 226; this rule
is an administrative action to add the
species to or update their status on the
List in 50 CFR 17.11(h). The public

would not be served by delaying the

Required Determinations
National Environmental Policy Act
We have determined that an
environmental assessment, as defined
under the authority of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, need
not be prepared in connection with
regulations adopted pursuant to section
4(a) of the Act. We outlined our reasons
for this determination in the Federal
Register on October 25, 1983 (48 FR
49244).
Paperwork Reduction Act
We have examined this regulation
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 and found it to contain no
information collection requirements. We
may not conduct or sponsor, and you
are not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget control
number.

Atlantic winter flounder for Northeast
multispecies common pool vessels for
the remainder of the 2014 fishing year
and closes the Gulf of Maine Cod
Trimester Total Allowable Catch Area
for the remainder of Trimester 1,
through August 31, 2014. Increasing the
trip limit is intended to provide
additional fishing opportunities and
help allow the common pool fishery to
catch its allowable quota for this stock.
The closure is required because the
common pool fishery has caught more
than 90 percent of its Trimester 1 quota
for Gulf of Maine cod. This closure is
intended to prevent the overharvest of
the common pool’s allocation this stock.
DATES: The trip limit increase is
effective July 23, 2014, through April
30, 2015. The Gulf of Maine Cod
Trimester Total Allowable Catch Area
closure is effective July 23, 2014,

common pool quotas. As of July 10,
2014, the common pool had caught 17
percent of its sub-annual catch limit
(ACL) of Southern New England/MidAtlantic (SNE/MA) winter flounder. To
allow the common pool fishery to catch
more of its quota for that stock, effective
July 23, 2014, the trip limit of SNE/MA
winter flounder, defined as winter
flounder caught within the Inshore
Georges Bank and SNE/MA Broad Stock
Areas (as defined in § 648.10(k)(3)(ii)
and (iv)), for all common pool vessels,
is increased from 1,500 lb (630.4 kg) per

per trip, to 3,000 lb (1,361 kg) per DAS
and 6,000 lb (2,722 kg) per trip.
The regulations also require the RA to
close a Trimester Total Allowable Catch
(TAC) Area for a stock when 90 percent
of the Trimester TAC is projected to be
caught. In such cases, the Trimester
TAC Area for a stock closes to all
common pool vessels fishing with gear

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Marine and
Anadromous Taxa: Additions, Removal, Updates, and Corrections to the
List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are amending
the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife (List) by adding several
marine taxa, removing one species, and revising the entries of many
more in accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(Act). These amendments are based on previously published
determinations by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of
Commerce, which has jurisdiction for these species.
DATES: This rule is effective July 23, 2014. For the applicability date
for the status of newly listed taxa, see the individual species
documents referenced in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Franz, 703-358-2171.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970 (35 FR 15627; October 6, 1970), NMFS
has jurisdiction over the marine and anadromous taxa specified in this
rule. Under section 4(a)(2) of the Act, NMFS must decide whether a
species under its jurisdiction should be classified as endangered or
threatened. NMFS makes these determinations via its rulemaking process.
We, the Service, are then responsible for publishing final rules to
amend the List in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
17.11(h).
As described below and set forth at the table in the rule portion
of this document, NMFS has published rules regarding each of the
species mentioned in this rule. Section 4(a)(2)(A) applies to all of
the rules except that for the Steller sea lion (Eastern DPS); with
respect to those rules, by publishing this final rule,
[[Page 42688]]
we are simply taking the necessary administrative step to codify these
changes in the CFR 4(a)(2)(B) applies to the NMFS's recommendation to
delist the Steller sea lion (Eastern DPS); we have concurred with
NMFS's recommendation, and this rule implements that action. In the
lists below, DPS stands for distinct population segment, ESU stands for
evolutionarily significant unit, and XN stands for nonessential
experimental population.
Listings
We are adding the following 16 species to the List based on NMFS
final rules:
Steelhead (Middle Columbia River DPS), designation of
nonessential experimental population (XN) (78 FR 2893; January 15,
2013)
Seal, bearded (Beringia DPS), as threatened (77 FR 76740;
December 28, 2012)
Seal, bearded (Okhotsk DPS), as threatened (77 FR 76740;
December 28, 2012)
Seal, ringed (Arctic subspecies), as threatened (77 FR 76706;
December 28, 2012)
Seal, ringed (Baltic subspecies), as threatened (77 FR 76706;
December 28, 2012)
Seal, ringed (Ladoga subspecies), as endangered (77 FR 76706;
December 28, 2012)
Seal, ringed (Okhotsk subspecies), as threatened (77 FR 76706;
December 28, 2012)
Whale, false killer (Main Hawaiian Islands Insular DPS), as
endangered (77 FR 70915; November 28, 2012)
Salmon, coho (Central California Coast ESU), reaffirmed as
endangered but with range extension (77 FR 19552; April 2, 2012)
Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic subspecies; Carolina DPS), as
endangered (77 FR 5914; February 6, 2012)
Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic subspecies; Chesapeake Bay DPS),
as endangered (77 FR 5880; February 6, 2012)
Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic subspecies; Gulf of Maine DPS),
as threatened (77 FR 5880; February 6, 2012)
Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic subspecies; New York Bight DPS),
as endangered (77 FR 5880; February 6, 2012)
Sturgeon, Atlantic (Atlantic subspecies; South Atlantic DPS),
as endangered (77 FR 5914; February 6, 2012)
Sawfish, largetooth, as endangered (76 FR 40822; July 12,
2011)
Salmon, coho (Oregon Coast ESU), as threatened with critical
habitat (76 FR 35755; June 20, 2011) reaffirming listing (73 FR 7816;
February 11, 2008)
Please note: The Oregon Coast coho salmon ESU was listed on August
10, 1998, as threatened (63 FR 42587), but in 2001, the U.S. District
Court in Eugene, Oregon, set aside that listing (Alsea Valley Alliance
v. Evans, 161 F. Supp 2d 1154, (D. Or. 2001)). On February 11, 2008,
NMFS listed the Oregon Coast coho salmon ESU as threatened, issued
protective regulations under section 4(d) of the Act (known as a 4(d)
rule), and designated critical habitat (73 FR 7816). As a result of
another court challenge (Douglas County v. Balsiger (Civ. No. 08-1547;
D. Or. 2008)), NMFS reached a settlement with the litigants and agreed
to conduct another status review of the ESU. After conducting the
additional status review, NMFS affirmed the status for this ESU by
promulgating a rule to supersede its February 11, 2008, listing
determination (76 FR 35755; June 20, 2011).
Delisting
We are removing the following species from the List based on a NMFS
final rule:
Sea lion, Steller (Eastern DPS) (78 FR 66140; November 4,
2013)
Critical Habitat
We are adding critical habitat to the following species based on a
NMFS final rule:
Abalone, black (76 FR 66806; October 27, 2011)
Eulachon, Pacific (Southern DPS) (76 FR 65324; October 20,
2011)
Whale, beluga (Cook Inlet DPS) (76 FR 20180; April 11, 2011)
Updating
We are updating 42 entries on the List by referencing the respective
NMFS Lists at 50 CFR 223.102 or 50 CFR 224.101 in the ``Vertebrate

and to make these entries easier to understand for the public. Updates
include: corrections to the scientific and common names of species that
were either misspelled or omitted in error in previous Federal Register
notices; grouping change; corrections to the ``Vertebrate population
where endangered or threatened'' column where previously ``NA'' was
used in error; and, additions
[[Page 42689]]
to the ``Special rules'' column for some marine taxa where previously

Changes to Common Names
We are changing the presentation of the common names of the
following species to conform with the way that NMFS refers to these
species:
``Dolphin, Indus River'' will now appear on the List as
``Dolphin, South Asian River (Indus River subspecies).''
``Eulachon, Pacific (Southern DPS)'' will now appear on
the List as ``Eulachon (Southern DPS).''
``Sea-lion, Steller'' will now appear on the List as ``Sea
lion, Steller (Western DPS).''
``Seal, Saimaa'' will now appear on the List as ``Seal,
ringed (Saimaa subspecies).''
``Sturgeon, Gulf'' will now appear on the List as
``Sturgeon, Atlantic (Gulf subspecies).''
``Sturgeon, North American green (Southern DPS)'' will now
appear on the List as ``Sturgeon, green (Southern DPS).''
``Sturgeon, white'' will now appear on the List as
``Sturgeon, white (Kootenai River DPS).''
Administrative Procedure Act
Because NMFS provided a public comment period on each of the
proposed rules for these taxa, we find good cause that the notice and
public comment procedures of 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary for this
action. We also find good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make this
rule effective immediately under publication. The NMFS rules extended
protection under the Act to these species and listed them in 50 CFR
parts 223 and 224 or designated critical habitat under 50 CFR part 226;
this rule is an administrative action to add the species to or update
their status on the List in 50 CFR 17.11(h). The public would not be
served by delaying the effective date of this rulemaking action.
Required Determinations
National Environmental Policy Act
We have determined that an environmental assessment, as defined
under the authority of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969,
need not be prepared in connection with regulations adopted pursuant to
section 4(a) of the Act. We outlined our reasons for this determination
in the Federal Register on October 25, 1983 (48 FR 49244).
Paperwork Reduction Act
We have examined this regulation under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 and found it to contain no information collection requirements.
We may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office
of Management and Budget control number.
