In accordance with a January
20, 2017, memorandum of the Chief of
Staff for the White House, we, the
National Park Service, are delaying the
effective date of a rule we published on
January 12, 2017.
DATES: The effective date of the rule that
published on January 12, 2017, at 82 FR
3626, is delayed from February 13,
2017, to March 21, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 12, 2017, we published a rule to
amend regulations for National Park
System units in Alaska to allow
qualified subsistence users to collect
nonedible fish and wildlife parts and
plants for creating handicrafts for barter
and customary trade. The rule also
clarifies that capturing, collecting or
possessing living wildlife is generally
prohibited and adopts restrictions on
using human-produced foods to bait
bears for subsistence uses. The rule was
to be effective on February 13, 2017.
On January 20, 2017, the Chief of Staff
for the White House issued a
jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

memorandum instructing Federal
agencies to temporarily postpone the
effective date for 60 days after January
20, 2017, of any regulations that have
published in the Federal Register but
not yet taken effect, for the purpose of
‘‘reviewing questions of fact, law, and
policy they raise.’’ We are, therefore,
delaying the effective date of our rule
published on January 12, 2017, at 82 FR
3626 (see DATES, above) to allow
sufficient time for review of the rule
relative to national wildlife management
policy.
To the extent that 5 U.S.C. 553 applies
to this action, it is exempt from notice
and comment because it constitutes a
rule of procedure under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(A). Alternatively, our
implementation of this action without
opportunity for public comment,
effective immediately upon publication
in the Federal Register, is based on the
good cause exceptions in 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3). Pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), we have determined
that good cause exists to forego the
requirement to provide prior notice and
an opportunity for public comment
thereon for this rule as such procedures
would be impracticable, unnecessary
and contrary to the public interest. We
are temporarily postponing for 60 days
the effective date of this regulation
pursuant to the previously-noted
memorandum of the Chief of Staff. As
a result, seeking public comment on this
delay is unnecessary and contrary to the
public interest. For these same reasons
we find good cause to waive the 30-day
delay in effective date provided for in 5
U.S.C. 553(d).
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 3124; 54 U.S.C.

Section
1007(a)(2) of the Legal Services
Corporation Act (Act), 42 U.S.C.
2996f(a)(2), requires the Corporation to
establish maximum income levels for
individuals eligible for legal assistance.
Section 1611.3(c) of the Corporation’s
regulations establishes a maximum
income level equivalent to 125% of the
Federal Poverty Guidelines
(Guidelines), which HHS is responsible
for updating and issuing. 45 CFR
1611.3(c).
Each year, LSC publishes an update to
Appendix A of 45 CFR part 1611 to
provide client income eligibility
standards based on the most recent
Guidelines. The figures for 2017, set out
below, are equivalent to 125% of the
Guidelines published by HHS on
January 31, 2017, 82 FR 8832.
In addition, LSC is publishing a chart
listing income levels that are 200% of
the Guidelines. This chart is for
reference purposes only as an aid to
recipients in assessing the financial
eligibility of an applicant whose income
is greater than 125% of the applicable
Guidelines amount, but less than 200%
of the applicable Guidelines amount
(and who may be found to be financially
eligible under duly adopted exceptions
to the annual income ceiling in
accordance with 45 CFR 1611.3, 1611.4,
and 1611.5).
Except where there are minor
variances due to rounding, the amount
by which the guideline increases for
each additional member of the
household is a consistent amount.
