§ 118.115
50 CFR Part 100
To comply with a court order,
the Secretaries, through the Federal
Subsistence Board (Board), initiated
regulatory proceedings to identify those
submerged lands within the Tongass
National Forest that did not pass to the
State of Alaska at statehood and,
therefore, remain Federal public lands
subject to Federal subsistence
provisions. This rule adds to the list of
submerged parcels in the Federal
subsistence regulations that have been
identified through agency review. The
purpose of this rule is to complete
regulatory proceedings addressing
submerged public lands within the
Tongass National Forest, as directed by

subsistence harvest opportunities for
rural Alaskans. This final rule will also
make nonsubstantive changes to present
the list of submerged parcels in a tabular

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under title VIII of the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act
(ANILCA) (16 U.S.C. 3111–3126), the
Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture (Secretaries)
jointly implement the Federal
Subsistence Management Program
(Program). The Program provides a
preference for take of fish and wildlife
resources for subsistence uses by rural
residents on Federal public lands and
waters in Alaska. The Secretaries
published temporary regulations to
carry out the Program in the Federal
Register on June 29, 1990 (55 FR 27114),
and published final regulations in the
Federal Register on May 29, 1992 (57
FR 22940). These regulations have
subsequently been amended a number
of times. Because the Program is a joint
effort between Interior and Agriculture,
these regulations are located in two
titles of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR): Title 36, ‘‘Parks, Forests, and
Public Property,’’ and Title 50,
‘‘Wildlife and Fisheries,’’ at 36 CFR
242.1–242.28 and 50 CFR 100.1–100.28,

respectively. The regulations contain
subparts as follows: Subpart A, General
Provisions; Subpart B, Program
Structure; Subpart C, Board
Determinations; and Subpart D,
Subsistence Taking of Fish and Wildlife.
Consistent with subpart B of these
regulations, the Secretaries established a
Federal Subsistence Board (Board) to
administer the Program. The Board
comprises:
• A Chair appointed by the Secretary
of the Interior with concurrence of the
Secretary of Agriculture;
• The Alaska Regional Director, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service;
• The Alaska Regional Director,
National Park Service;
• The Alaska State Director, Bureau
of Land Management;
• The Alaska Regional Director,
Bureau of Indian Affairs;
• The Alaska Regional Forester,
USDA Forest Service; and
• Two public members appointed by
the Secretary of the Interior with
concurrence of the Secretary of
Agriculture.
Through the Board, these agencies
participate in the development of
regulations for subparts C and D, which,
among other things, set forth Program
eligibility and specific harvest seasons
and limits.
In administering the Program, the
Secretaries divided Alaska into 10
subsistence resource regions, each of
which is represented by a Federal
Subsistence Regional Advisory Council
(Council). The Councils provide a forum
for rural residents with personal
knowledge of local conditions and
resource requirements to have a
meaningful role in the subsistence
management of fish and wildlife on
Federal public lands in Alaska. The
Council members represent varied
geographical, cultural, and user interests
within each region.
Jurisdictional Background and
Perspective
The U.S. District Court for Alaska
(Court) in its October 17, 2011, order in
Peratrovich et al. v. United States and
the State of Alaska, 3:92–cv–0734–HRH
(D. Alaska), enjoined the United States
‘‘to promptly initiate regulatory
proceedings for the purpose of
implementing the subsistence
provisions in Title VIII of the Alaska
National Interest Lands Conservation
Act (ANILCA) with respect to
submerged public lands within Tongass
National Forest’’ and directed entry of
judgment. The Peratrovich case dates to
1992 and has a long and involved
procedural history. The plaintiffs in that
litigation raised the question of which
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:20 Apr 02, 2024
Jkt 262001
marine waters in the Tongass National
Forest, if any, are subject to the
jurisdiction of the Federal Subsistence
Management Program. In its May 31,
2011, order, the Court stated that ‘‘it is
the duty of the Secretaries [Agriculture
& Interior] to identify any submerged
lands (and the marine waters overlying
them) within the Tongass National
Forest to which the United States holds
title.’’ It also stated that, if such title
exists, it ‘‘creates an interest in [the
overlying] waters sufficient to make
those marine waters public lands for
purposes of [the subsistence provisions]
of ANILCA.’’
Most of the marine waters within the
Tongass National Forest were not
initially identified in the regulations as
public lands subject to the subsistence
priority, initially based upon a
determination that the submerged lands
were State lands, and later through
reliance upon a disclaimer of interest
filed by the United States in Alaska v.
United States, No. 128 Orig., 546 U.S.
413 (2006). In that case, the State of
Alaska had sought to quiet title to all
lands underlying marine waters in
southeast Alaska, which includes most
of the Tongass National Forest.
Ultimately, the United States disclaimed
ownership to most of the submerged
lands in the Tongass National Forest.
The Supreme Court accepted the
disclaimer by the United States to title
to the marine waters within the Tongass
National Forest, excepting from that
disclaimer several classes of submerged
public lands that generally involve
small tracts (see Alaska v. United States,
546 U.S. at 415).
When the United States took over
subsistence management in Alaska in
1990 and promulgated the temporary
regulations, the Departments of the
Interior and Agriculture stated in
response to comments on the scope of
the program that ‘‘[t]he United States
generally does not hold title to
navigable waters and thus navigable
waters generally are not included within
the definition of public lands’’ (55 FR
27114 at 27115; June 29, 1990). That
position was changed in 1999 when the
subsistence priority was extended to
inland waters subject to a Federal
reserved water right following the Katie
John litigation. While locating these
inland waters, the Board also identified
certain submerged marine lands that did
not pass to the State and, therefore, were
subject to the subsistence priority.
However, the Board did not attempt to
identify every small parcel of
submerged public lands and associated
marine waters possibly subject to the
Program because of the potentially
overwhelming administrative burden.

Instead, the Board invited the public to
petition to have submerged marine
lands included. Over the years, several
small areas of submerged marine lands
in the Tongass National Forest have
been identified as public lands subject
to the subsistence priority.
In its May 31, 2011, order, the Court
in the Peratrovich case stated that the
petition process was not sufficient and
found that ‘‘concerns about costs and
management problems simply cannot
trump the congressional policy that the
subsistence lifestyle of rural Alaskans be
preserved as to public lands.’’ The Court
acknowledged in its order that
inventorying all these lands could be an
expensive undertaking, but that it is a
burden ‘‘necessitated by the
‘complicated regulatory scheme’ which
has resulted from the inability of the
State of Alaska to implement Title VIII
of ANILCA.’’ The Court then enjoined
the United States ‘‘to promptly initiate
regulatory proceedings for the purpose
of implementing the subsistence
provisions in Title VIII of ANILCA with
respect to submerged public lands
within Tongass National Forest’’ and
directed entry of judgment.
Following the Court’s decision, the
Departments published a notice in the
Federal Register (77 FR 33391; June 6,
2012) announcing the initiation of
reviews of pre-statehood withdrawals
and reservation in the Tongass National
Forest. The Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) and the USDA–Forest Service
(USDA–FS) started a review of
hundreds of potential pre-statehood
(January 3, 1959) withdrawals in the
marine waters of the Tongass National
Forest. These reviews included dock
sites, log transfer sites, and other areas
that may not have passed to the State at
statehood. On June 8, 2016, the
Departments published a proposed rule
in the Federal Register (81 FR 36836)
that listed the initial findings
identifying pre-statehood withdrawals,
and on May 23, 2018, the Departments
published a final rule (83 FR 23813) to
revise the subsistence management
regulations to add those submerged
parcels. The Departments published
another proposed rule on May 12, 2022
(87 FR 29061), with the intent to
complete regulatory proceedings
addressing submerged public lands
within the Tongass National Forest as
directed by the Court. This rule will
complete those proceedings.
Current Rule
The Departments published a
proposed rule on May 12, 2022 (87 FR
29061), to amend the applicability and
scope section of subpart A of 36 CFR
part 242 and 50 CFR part 100 and to
E:\FR\FM\03APR1.SGM
03APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 3, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
complete the actions on the Tongass
National Forest submerged lands. The
proposed rule opened a comment
period, which closed on August 10,
2022, and announced public meetings to
be held in several different locations
throughout the State. The Departments
advertised the proposed rule by mail,
email, web page, social media, radio,
and newspaper, and comments were
submitted via https://
www.regulations.gov to Docket No.
FWS–R7–SM–2018–0013. The Councils
received public comments on the
proposed rule during their public
meetings. The Councils had an
opportunity to review the proposed rule
and make recommendations to the
Board for the final rule as described in
more detail below.
The Board held a public meeting on
January 31 through February 3, 2023.
All briefings and documents presented
to the Board were available to the public
at https://www.doi.gov/subsistence, and
the meeting was advertised by mail,
email, web page, social media, radio,
and newspaper. After a briefing and
deliberation, the Board decided on the
following recommendation to the
Secretaries: ‘‘The Federal Subsistence
Board recommends to the Secretaries
that the lands listed in the proposed
rule of May 12, 2022 (87 FR 29061), be
included in the Subsistence
Management Regulations for Public
Lands in Alaska (36 CFR [part] 242 and
50 CFR [part] 100) for the purpose of
implementing the subsistence
provisions in Title VIII of the Alaska
National Interest Lands Conservation
Act.’’
These final regulations reflect the
Board’s recommendation to the
Secretaries after review and
consideration of Council
recommendations, Tribal and Alaska
Native corporation consultations, and
public comments. The public received
extensive opportunity to review and
comment on all changes.
Summary of Comments Received and
Responses
The Board did not receive any public
comments that directly pertain to the
primary issue of this rulemaking action.
The Southeast Alaska Council did not
object to these lands coming under
Federal subsistence jurisdiction after
maps were provided by the USDA–FS,
as had been previously requested. The
Southcentral Alaska, Kodiak/Aleutians,
Bristol Bay, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta,
Western Interior Alaska, Seward
Peninsula, Eastern Interior Alaska, and
North Slope Councils had no comments
and took no actions. The Kodiak/
Aleutian Council requested that the
Councils and the public be notified
when the final rule has been published
and that this information be posted on
the Program’s website.
Tribal consultation was offered
statewide. No tribal entity requested
specific consultation and no comments
were offered via correspondence, during
public hearings, or during consultations
on different issues.
Summary of Changes From the
Proposed Rule
Following publication of the proposed
rule, the USDA–FS cartographer
reviewed the table of geographic areas
in the proposed rule and noted the
following duplicate entries:
• High Point, Woronkofski Island;
• Key Reef, Clarence Strait;
• Lyman Point, Clarence Strait;
• Ship Island, Clarence Strait; and
• Point Hilda, Stephens Passage,
Douglas Island.
Accordingly, in this final rule, we
have corrected the table of geographic
areas by removing those duplicate
entries.
Additionally, the latitude information
for Lyman Point and Clarence Strait was
also revised because the original
latitude was inaccurate.
Because this rule concerns public
lands managed by an agency or agencies
in both the Departments of Agriculture
and the Interior, identical text will be
incorporated into 36 CFR part 242 and
50 CFR part 100.
Compliance With Statutory and
Regulatory Authorities
Administrative Procedure Act
The Departments, through the Board,
have provided extensive opportunity for
22951
public input and involvement in
compliance with Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.)
requirements, including publishing a
proposed rule in the Federal Register,
participation in multiple Council
meetings, additional public review and
comment on all proposals for regulatory
change, and an opportunity for
additional public comment before the
Board deliberated on its
recommendation to the Secretaries.
Therefore, the Departments believe that
all affected persons have been given
sufficient public notice and opportunity
for involvement on the Board’s
recommendation and the final rule.
In the more than 30 years that the
Program has been operating, there has
never been a benefit to the public by
delaying the effective date of the
subsistence regulations. A lapse in
regulatory control can affect the
continued viability of fish or wildlife
populations and future subsistence
opportunities for rural Alaskans and
would generally fail to serve the overall
public interest. Therefore, the
Departments finds good cause pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make this rule
effective upon the date set forth in
DATES to ensure continued operation of
the Program.
National Environmental Policy Act
A draft environmental impact
statement that described four
alternatives for developing a Federal
Subsistence Management Program was
distributed for public comment on
October 7, 1991. The final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
was published on February 28, 1992.
The Record of Decision (ROD) on
Subsistence Management for Federal
Public Lands in Alaska was signed April
6, 1992. The selected alternative in the
FEIS (Alternative IV) defined the
administrative framework of an annual
regulatory cycle for subsistence
regulations.

Amended the regulations to include subsistence activities occurring on inland
navigable waters in which the United States has a reserved water right and
to identify specific Federal land units where reserved water rights exist. Extended the Federal Subsistence Board’s management to all Federal lands
selected under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act and the Alaska
Statehood Act and situated within the boundaries of a Conservation System
Unit, National Recreation Area, National Conservation Area, or any new national forest or forest addition, until conveyed to the State of Alaska or to an
Alaska Native Corporation. Specified and clarified the Secretaries’ authority
to determine when hunting, fishing, or trapping activities taking place in
Alaska off the public lands interfere with the subsistence priority.
Expanded the authority that the Federal Subsistence Board may delegate to
agency field officials and clarified the procedures for enacting emergency or
temporary restrictions, closures, or openings.
Amended the operating regulations in response to comments on the June 12,
2001, interim rule (66 FR 31533). Also corrected some inadvertent errors
and oversights of previous rules.
Clarified the age a person must be to receive certain subsistence use permits
and removed the requirement that Regional Advisory Councils must have
an odd number of members.
Because no adverse comments were received on the direct final rule (67 FR
30559; May 7, 2002), the direct final rule was adopted.
Clarified the membership qualifications for Regional Advisory Council membership and relocated the definition of ‘‘regulatory year’’ from subpart A to
subpart D of the regulations.
Revised jurisdiction in marine waters and clarified jurisdiction relative to military lands.
Revised the jurisdiction of the subsistence program by adding submerged
lands and waters in the area of Makhnati Island, near Sitka, AK. These revisions allowed subsistence users to harvest marine resources in this area
under seasons, harvest limits, and methods specified in the regulations.
Revised nonrural determinations.
Amended the regulations for accepting and addressing special action requests and the role of the Regional Advisory Councils in the process.
Revised the composition of the Federal Subsistence Board by expanding the
Board to include two public members who possess personal knowledge of
and direct experience with subsistence uses in rural Alaska.
Extended the compliance date for the final rule (72 FR 25688; May 7, 2007)
that revised nonrural determinations until the Secretarial review of the Program is complete or in 5 years, whichever comes first.
Revised the nonrural determination process and allowed the Federal Subsistence Board to define which communities and areas are nonrural.
Added submerged parcels to the subsistence regulations to ensure compliance with the October 7, 2011, Court order. Peratrovich et al. v. United
States and the State of Alaska, 3:92–cv–0734–HRH (D. Alaska).

A 1997 environmental assessment
dealt with the expansion of Federal
jurisdiction over fisheries and is
available at the office listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. The
Secretary of the Interior, with
concurrence of the Secretary of
Agriculture, determined that expansion
of Federal jurisdiction does not
constitute a major Federal action
significantly affecting the human
environment and, therefore, signed a
Finding of No Significant Impact.
Section 810 of ANILCA
An ANILCA section 810 analysis was
completed as part of the FEIS process on
the Federal Subsistence Management
Program in the early 1990s. The intent
of all Federal subsistence regulations is
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:20 Apr 02, 2024
Jkt 262001
to accord subsistence uses of fish and
wildlife on public lands a priority over
the taking of fish and wildlife on such
lands for other purposes, unless
restriction is necessary to conserve
healthy fish and wildlife populations.
The final section 810 analysis
determination appeared in the April 6,
1992, ROD and concluded that the
Program, under Alternative IV with an
annual process for setting subsistence
regulations, may have some local
impacts on subsistence uses, but will
not likely restrict subsistence uses
significantly.
In accordance with ANILCA section
810, an environmental assessment was
prepared in 1997 on the expansion of
Federal jurisdiction over fisheries. That

section 810(a).

(Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and
14904)
Executive Order 12866, as reaffirmed
by E.O. 13563 and E.O. 14094 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.
Executive Order 14094 reaffirms the
principles of E.O. 12866 and E.O. 13563
and states that regulatory analysis
should facilitate agency efforts to
develop regulations that serve the
public interest, advance statutory
objectives, and are consistent with E.O.
12866, E.O. 13563, and the Presidential
Memorandum of January 20, 2021
(Modernizing Regulatory Review). E.O.
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
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires
preparation of regulatory flexibility
analyses for rules that will have a
significant effect on a substantial
number of small entities, which include
small businesses, organizations, or
governmental jurisdictions. In general,
the resources to be harvested under this
rule are already being harvested and
consumed by the local harvester and do
not result in an additional dollar benefit
to the economy. However, we estimate
that two million pounds of meat are
harvested by subsistence users annually
and, if given an estimated dollar value
of $3.00 per pound, this amount would
equate to about $6 million in food value
Statewide. Based upon the amounts and
values cited above, the Departments
certify that this rulemaking will not
have a significant economic effect on a
substantial number of small entities
within the meaning of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Congressional Review Act
Under the Congressional Review Act
(5 U.S.C. 804(2)), this rule is not a major
rule. It does not have an effect on the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
economy of $100 million or more, will
not cause a major increase in costs or
prices for consumers, and 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.
Takings (Executive Order 12630)
Title VIII of ANILCA requires the
Secretaries to administer a subsistence
priority on public lands. The scope of
the Program is limited by definition to
certain public lands. Likewise, these
regulations have no potential takings of
private property implications as defined
by Executive Order 12630.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Secretaries have determined and
certify pursuant to the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act, 2 U.S.C. 1502 et
seq., that this rulemaking will not
impose a cost of $100 million or more
in any given year on local or State
governments or private entities. The
implementation of this rule is by
Federal agencies, and there is no cost
imposed on any State or local entities or
tribal governments.
Civil Justice Reform (Executive Order
12988)
The Secretaries have determined that
these regulations meet the applicable
standards provided in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of E.O. 12988, regarding civil
justice reform.
Federalism (Executive Order 13132)
In accordance with E.O. 13132, this
rule does not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant the preparation
of a federalism summary impact
statement. Title VIII of ANILCA
precludes the State from exercising
subsistence management authority over
fish and wildlife resources on Federal
lands unless it meets certain
requirements.
Consultation and Coordination With
Indian Tribal Governments (Executive
Order 13175)
The Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act, Title VIII, does not
provide specific rights to tribes for the
subsistence taking of wildlife, fish, and
shellfish. However, the Departments,
through the Board, provided Federally
recognized Tribes and Alaska Native
corporations opportunities to consult on
this rule. Consultation with Alaska
Native corporations are based on Public
Law 108–199, div. H, Sec. 161, Jan. 23,
2004, 118 Stat. 452, as amended by
Public Law 108–447, div. H, title V, Sec.
518, Dec. 8, 2004, 118 Stat. 3267, which
PO 00000

provides that: ‘‘The Director of the
Office of Management and Budget and
all Federal agencies shall hereafter
consult with Alaska Native corporations
on the same basis as Indian tribes under
Executive Order No. 13175.’’
The Secretaries, through the Board,
provided a variety of opportunities for
consultation: commenting on proposed
changes to the existing rule; engaging in
dialogue at the Council meetings;
engaging in dialogue at the Board’s
meetings; and providing input in
person, by mail, email, or phone at any
time during the rulemaking process.
The Board provided Federally
recognized Tribes and Alaska Native
corporations a specific opportunity to
consult on this rule prior to the start of
its public regulatory meeting held
during January and February 2023.
Federally recognized Tribes and Alaska
Native corporations were notified by
mail, email, and telephone and were
given the opportunity to attend in
person or via teleconference.
Energy Supply, Distribution or Use
(Executive Order 13211)
Executive Order 13211 requires
agencies to prepare Statements of
Energy Effects when undertaking certain
actions. However, this rule is not a
significant regulatory action under E.O.
13211, affecting energy supply,
distribution, or use, and no Statement of
Energy Effects is required.

Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska--
Applicability and Scope; Tongass National Forest Submerged Lands
AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture; Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: To comply with a court order, the Secretaries, through the
Federal Subsistence Board (Board), initiated regulatory proceedings to
identify those submerged lands within the Tongass National Forest that
did not pass to the State of Alaska at statehood and, therefore, remain
Federal public lands subject to Federal subsistence provisions. This
rule adds to the list of submerged parcels in the Federal subsistence
regulations that have been identified through agency review. The
purpose of this rule is to complete regulatory proceedings addressing
submerged public lands within the Tongass National Forest, as directed
by the Court, and will result in increased subsistence harvest
opportunities for rural Alaskans. This final rule will also make
nonsubstantive changes to present the list of submerged parcels in a
tabular format.
DATES: This rule is effective April 3, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Information regarding this final rule, including the Board

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation
Act (ANILCA) (16 U.S.C. 3111-3126), the Secretary of the Interior and
the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretaries) jointly implement the
Federal Subsistence Management Program (Program). The Program provides
a preference for take of fish and wildlife resources for subsistence
uses by rural residents on Federal public lands and waters in Alaska.
The Secretaries published temporary regulations to carry out the
Program in the Federal Register on June 29, 1990 (55 FR 27114), and
published final regulations in the Federal Register on May 29, 1992 (57
FR 22940). These regulations have subsequently been amended a number of
times. Because the Program is a joint effort between Interior and
Agriculture, these regulations are located in two titles of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR): Title 36, ``Parks, Forests, and Public
Property,'' and Title 50, ``Wildlife and Fisheries,'' at 36 CFR 242.1-
242.28 and 50 CFR 100.1-100.28,
[[Page 22950]]
respectively. The regulations contain subparts as follows: Subpart A,
General Provisions; Subpart B, Program Structure; Subpart C, Board
Determinations; and Subpart D, Subsistence Taking of Fish and Wildlife.
Consistent with subpart B of these regulations, the Secretaries
established a Federal Subsistence Board (Board) to administer the
Program. The Board comprises:
A Chair appointed by the Secretary of the Interior with
concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture;
The Alaska Regional Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service;
The Alaska Regional Director, National Park Service;
The Alaska State Director, Bureau of Land Management;
The Alaska Regional Director, Bureau of Indian Affairs;
The Alaska Regional Forester, USDA Forest Service; and
Two public members appointed by the Secretary of the
Interior with concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture.
Through the Board, these agencies participate in the development of
regulations for subparts C and D, which, among other things, set forth
Program eligibility and specific harvest seasons and limits.
In administering the Program, the Secretaries divided Alaska into
10 subsistence resource regions, each of which is represented by a
Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Council (Council). The Councils
provide a forum for rural residents with personal knowledge of local
conditions and resource requirements to have a meaningful role in the
subsistence management of fish and wildlife on Federal public lands in
Alaska. The Council members represent varied geographical, cultural,
and user interests within each region.
Jurisdictional Background and Perspective
The U.S. District Court for Alaska (Court) in its October 17, 2011,
order in Peratrovich et al. v. United States and the State of Alaska,
3:92-cv-0734-HRH (D. Alaska), enjoined the United States ``to promptly
initiate regulatory proceedings for the purpose of implementing the
subsistence provisions in Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest
Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) with respect to submerged public lands
within Tongass National Forest'' and directed entry of judgment. The
Peratrovich case dates to 1992 and has a long and involved procedural
history. The plaintiffs in that litigation raised the question of which
marine waters in the Tongass National Forest, if any, are subject to
the jurisdiction of the Federal Subsistence Management Program. In its
May 31, 2011, order, the Court stated that ``it is the duty of the
Secretaries [Agriculture & Interior] to identify any submerged lands
(and the marine waters overlying them) within the Tongass National
Forest to which the United States holds title.'' It also stated that,
if such title exists, it ``creates an interest in [the overlying]
waters sufficient to make those marine waters public lands for purposes
of [the subsistence provisions] of ANILCA.''
Most of the marine waters within the Tongass National Forest were
not initially identified in the regulations as public lands subject to
the subsistence priority, initially based upon a determination that the
submerged lands were State lands, and later through reliance upon a
disclaimer of interest filed by the United States in Alaska v. United
States, No. 128 Orig., 546 U.S. 413 (2006). In that case, the State of
Alaska had sought to quiet title to all lands underlying marine waters
in southeast Alaska, which includes most of the Tongass National
Forest. Ultimately, the United States disclaimed ownership to most of
the submerged lands in the Tongass National Forest. The Supreme Court
accepted the disclaimer by the United States to title to the marine
waters within the Tongass National Forest, excepting from that
disclaimer several classes of submerged public lands that generally
involve small tracts (see Alaska v. United States, 546 U.S. at 415).
When the United States took over subsistence management in Alaska
in 1990 and promulgated the temporary regulations, the Departments of
the Interior and Agriculture stated in response to comments on the
scope of the program that ``[t]he United States generally does not hold
title to navigable waters and thus navigable waters generally are not
included within the definition of public lands'' (55 FR 27114 at 27115;
June 29, 1990). That position was changed in 1999 when the subsistence
priority was extended to inland waters subject to a Federal reserved
water right following the Katie John litigation. While locating these
inland waters, the Board also identified certain submerged marine lands
that did not pass to the State and, therefore, were subject to the
subsistence priority. However, the Board did not attempt to identify
every small parcel of submerged public lands and associated marine
waters possibly subject to the Program because of the potentially
overwhelming administrative burden. Instead, the Board invited the
public to petition to have submerged marine lands included. Over the
years, several small areas of submerged marine lands in the Tongass
National Forest have been identified as public lands subject to the
subsistence priority.
In its May 31, 2011, order, the Court in the Peratrovich case
stated that the petition process was not sufficient and found that
``concerns about costs and management problems simply cannot trump the
congressional policy that the subsistence lifestyle of rural Alaskans
be preserved as to public lands.'' The Court acknowledged in its order
that inventorying all these lands could be an expensive undertaking,
but that it is a burden ``necessitated by the `complicated regulatory
scheme' which has resulted from the inability of the State of Alaska to
implement Title VIII of ANILCA.'' The Court then enjoined the United
States ``to promptly initiate regulatory proceedings for the purpose of
implementing the subsistence provisions in Title VIII of ANILCA with
respect to submerged public lands within Tongass National Forest'' and
directed entry of judgment.
Following the Court's decision, the Departments published a notice
in the Federal Register (77 FR 33391; June 6, 2012) announcing the
initiation of reviews of pre-statehood withdrawals and reservation in
the Tongass National Forest. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and
the USDA-Forest Service (USDA-FS) started a review of hundreds of
potential pre-statehood (January 3, 1959) withdrawals in the marine
waters of the Tongass National Forest. These reviews included dock
sites, log transfer sites, and other areas that may not have passed to
the State at statehood. On June 8, 2016, the Departments published a
proposed rule in the Federal Register (81 FR 36836) that listed the
initial findings identifying pre-statehood withdrawals, and on May 23,
2018, the Departments published a final rule (83 FR 23813) to revise
the subsistence management regulations to add those submerged parcels.
The Departments published another proposed rule on May 12, 2022 (87 FR
29061), with the intent to complete regulatory proceedings addressing
submerged public lands within the Tongass National Forest as directed
by the Court. This rule will complete those proceedings.
Current Rule
The Departments published a proposed rule on May 12, 2022 (87 FR
29061), to amend the applicability and scope section of subpart A of 36
CFR part 242 and 50 CFR part 100 and to
[[Page 22951]]
complete the actions on the Tongass National Forest submerged lands.
The proposed rule opened a comment period, which closed on August 10,
2022, and announced public meetings to be held in several different
locations throughout the State. The Departments advertised the proposed
rule by mail, email, web page, social media, radio, and newspaper, and
comments were submitted via https://www.regulations.gov to Docket No.
FWS-R7-SM-2018-0013. The Councils received public comments on the
proposed rule during their public meetings. The Councils had an
opportunity to review the proposed rule and make recommendations to the
Board for the final rule as described in more detail below.
The Board held a public meeting on January 31 through February 3,
2023. All briefings and documents presented to the Board were available
to the public at https://www.doi.gov/subsistence, and the meeting was
advertised by mail, email, web page, social media, radio, and
newspaper. After a briefing and deliberation, the Board decided on the
following recommendation to the Secretaries: ``The Federal Subsistence
Board recommends to the Secretaries that the lands listed in the
proposed rule of May 12, 2022 (87 FR 29061), be included in the
Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska (36 CFR
[part] 242 and 50 CFR [part] 100) for the purpose of implementing the
subsistence provisions in Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest
Lands Conservation Act.''
These final regulations reflect the Board's recommendation to the
Secretaries after review and consideration of Council recommendations,
Tribal and Alaska Native corporation consultations, and public
comments. The public received extensive opportunity to review and
comment on all changes.
Summary of Comments Received and Responses
The Board did not receive any public comments that directly pertain
to the primary issue of this rulemaking action. The Southeast Alaska
Council did not object to these lands coming under Federal subsistence
jurisdiction after maps were provided by the USDA-FS, as had been
previously requested. The Southcentral Alaska, Kodiak/Aleutians,
Bristol Bay, Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Western Interior Alaska, Seward
Peninsula, Eastern Interior Alaska, and North Slope Councils had no
comments and took no actions. The Kodiak/Aleutian Council requested
that the Councils and the public be notified when the final rule has
been published and that this information be posted on the Program's
website.
Tribal consultation was offered statewide. No tribal entity
requested specific consultation and no comments were offered via
correspondence, during public hearings, or during consultations on
different issues.
Summary of Changes From the Proposed Rule
Following publication of the proposed rule, the USDA-FS
cartographer reviewed the table of geographic areas in the proposed
rule and noted the following duplicate entries:
High Point, Woronkofski Island;
Key Reef, Clarence Strait;
Lyman Point, Clarence Strait;
Ship Island, Clarence Strait; and
Point Hilda, Stephens Passage, Douglas Island.
Accordingly, in this final rule, we have corrected the table of
geographic areas by removing those duplicate entries.
Additionally, the latitude information for Lyman Point and Clarence
Strait was also revised because the original latitude was inaccurate.
Because this rule concerns public lands managed by an agency or
agencies in both the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior,
identical text will be incorporated into 36 CFR part 242 and 50 CFR
part 100.
Compliance With Statutory and Regulatory Authorities
Administrative Procedure Act
The Departments, through the Board, have provided extensive
opportunity for public input and involvement in compliance with
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.) requirements,
including publishing a proposed rule in the Federal Register,
participation in multiple Council meetings, additional public review
and comment on all proposals for regulatory change, and an opportunity
for additional public comment before the Board deliberated on its
recommendation to the Secretaries. Therefore, the Departments believe
that all affected persons have been given sufficient public notice and
opportunity for involvement on the Board's recommendation and the final
rule.
In the more than 30 years that the Program has been operating,
there has never been a benefit to the public by delaying the effective
date of the subsistence regulations. A lapse in regulatory control can
affect the continued viability of fish or wildlife populations and
future subsistence opportunities for rural Alaskans and would generally
fail to serve the overall public interest. Therefore, the Departments
finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make this rule
effective upon the date set forth in DATES to ensure continued
operation of the Program.
National Environmental Policy Act
A draft environmental impact statement that described four
alternatives for developing a Federal Subsistence Management Program
was distributed for public comment on October 7, 1991. The final
environmental impact statement (FEIS) was published on February 28,
1992. The Record of Decision (ROD) on Subsistence Management for
Federal Public Lands in Alaska was signed April 6, 1992. The selected
alternative in the FEIS (Alternative IV) defined the administrative
framework of an annual regulatory cycle for subsistence regulations.
The following Federal Register documents pertain to this
rulemaking:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A 1997 environmental assessment dealt with the expansion of Federal
jurisdiction over fisheries and is available at the office listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. The Secretary of the Interior, with
concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture, determined that expansion
of Federal jurisdiction does not constitute a major Federal action
significantly affecting the human environment and, therefore, signed a
Finding of No Significant Impact.
Section 810 of ANILCA
An ANILCA section 810 analysis was completed as part of the FEIS
process on the Federal Subsistence Management Program in the early
1990s. The intent of all Federal subsistence regulations is to accord
subsistence uses of fish and wildlife on public lands a priority over
the taking of fish and wildlife on such lands for other purposes,
unless restriction is necessary to conserve healthy fish and wildlife
populations. The final section 810 analysis determination appeared in
the April 6, 1992, ROD and concluded that the Program, under
Alternative IV with an annual process for setting subsistence
regulations, may have some local impacts on subsistence uses, but will
not likely restrict subsistence uses significantly.
In accordance with ANILCA section 810, an environmental assessment
was prepared in 1997 on the expansion of Federal jurisdiction over
fisheries. That evaluation also supported the Secretaries'
determination that the rule will not reach the ``may significantly
restrict'' threshold that would require notice and hearings under
ANILCA section 810(a).
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
An agency 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 (OMB) control number. This rule
does not contain any new collections of information that require OMB
approval. OMB has reviewed and approved the collections of information
associated with the subsistence regulations at 36 CFR part 242 and 50
CFR part 100, and
[[Page 22953]]
assigned OMB Control Number 1018-0075, which expires January 31, 2024
(in accordance with regulations at 5 CFR 1320, the Services are
authorized to continue sponsoring the collection while the submission
is pending at OMB).
Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and
14904)
Executive Order 12866, as reaffirmed by E.O. 13563 and E.O. 14094
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.
Executive Order 14094 reaffirms the principles of E.O. 12866 and
E.O. 13563 and states that regulatory analysis should facilitate agency
efforts to develop regulations that serve the public interest, advance
statutory objectives, and are consistent with E.O. 12866, E.O. 13563,
and the Presidential Memorandum of January 20, 2021 (Modernizing
Regulatory Review). E.O. 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
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
requires preparation of regulatory flexibility analyses for rules that
will have a significant effect on a substantial number of small
entities, which include small businesses, organizations, or
governmental jurisdictions. In general, the resources to be harvested
under this rule are already being harvested and consumed by the local
harvester and do not result in an additional dollar benefit to the
economy. However, we estimate that two million pounds of meat are
harvested by subsistence users annually and, if given an estimated
dollar value of $3.00 per pound, this amount would equate to about $6
million in food value Statewide. Based upon the amounts and values
cited above, the Departments certify that this rulemaking will not have
a significant economic effect on a substantial number of small entities
within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Congressional Review Act
Under the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 804(2)), this rule is
not a major rule. It does not have an effect on the economy of $100
million or more, will not cause a major increase in costs or prices for
consumers, and 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.
Takings (Executive Order 12630)
Title VIII of ANILCA requires the Secretaries to administer a
subsistence priority on public lands. The scope of the Program is
limited by definition to certain public lands. Likewise, these
regulations have no potential takings of private property implications
as defined by Executive Order 12630.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Secretaries have determined and certify pursuant to the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, 2 U.S.C. 1502 et seq., that this
rulemaking will not impose a cost of $100 million or more in any given
year on local or State governments or private entities. The
implementation of this rule is by Federal agencies, and there is no
cost imposed on any State or local entities or tribal governments.
Civil Justice Reform (Executive Order 12988)
The Secretaries have determined that these regulations meet the
applicable standards provided in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of E.O.
12988, regarding civil justice reform.
Federalism (Executive Order 13132)
In accordance with E.O. 13132, this rule does not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism
summary impact statement. Title VIII of ANILCA precludes the State from
exercising subsistence management authority over fish and wildlife
resources on Federal lands unless it meets certain requirements.
Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments (Executive
Order 13175)
The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, Title VIII,
does not provide specific rights to tribes for the subsistence taking
of wildlife, fish, and shellfish. However, the Departments, through the
Board, provided Federally recognized Tribes and Alaska Native
corporations opportunities to consult on this rule. Consultation with
Alaska Native corporations are based on Public Law 108-199, div. H,
Sec. 161, Jan. 23, 2004, 118 Stat. 452, as amended by Public Law 108-
447, div. H, title V, Sec. 518, Dec. 8, 2004, 118 Stat. 3267, which
provides that: ``The Director of the Office of Management and Budget
and all Federal agencies shall hereafter consult with Alaska Native
corporations on the same basis as Indian tribes under Executive Order
No. 13175.''
The Secretaries, through the Board, provided a variety of
opportunities for consultation: commenting on proposed changes to the
existing rule; engaging in dialogue at the Council meetings; engaging
in dialogue at the Board's meetings; and providing input in person, by
mail, email, or phone at any time during the rulemaking process.
The Board provided Federally recognized Tribes and Alaska Native
corporations a specific opportunity to consult on this rule prior to
the start of its public regulatory meeting held during January and
February 2023. Federally recognized Tribes and Alaska Native
corporations were notified by mail, email, and telephone and were given
the opportunity to attend in person or via teleconference.
Energy Supply, Distribution or Use (Executive Order 13211)
Executive Order 13211 requires agencies to prepare Statements of
Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. However, this rule is
not a significant regulatory action under E.O. 13211, affecting energy
supply, distribution, or use, and no Statement of Energy Effects is
required.
