Abstract
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are removing the textual descriptions of critical habitat boundaries from those designations for plants for which the maps have been determined to be sufficient to stand as the official delineation of critical habitat. For these entries, the boundaries of critical habitat as mapped or otherwise described will be the official delineation of the designation. The coordinates and/or plot points that we are removing from the Code of Federal Regulations will be available to the public at the lead field office of the Service responsible for the designation and online at the Federal eRulemaking Portal. This action does not increase, decrease, or otherwise change the boundaries of any critical habitat designation. We are taking this action in accordance with our May 1, 2012, revision of the regulations related to publishing textual descriptions of critical habitat boundaries in the Code of Federal Regulations and as part of our response to Executive Order 13563 (Jan. 18, 2011) directing Federal agencies to review their existing regulations and then to modify or streamline them in accordance with what they learned.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removing Textual
Descriptions of Critical Habitat Boundaries for Plants
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are removing
the textual descriptions of critical habitat boundaries from those
designations for plants for which the maps have been determined to be
sufficient to stand as the official delineation of critical habitat.
For these entries, the boundaries of critical habitat as mapped or
otherwise described will be the official delineation of the
designation. The coordinates and/or plot points that we are removing
from the Code of Federal Regulations will be available to the public at
the lead field office of the Service responsible for the designation
and online at the Federal eRulemaking Portal. This action does not
increase, decrease, or otherwise change the boundaries of any critical
habitat designation. We are taking this action in accordance with our
May 1, 2012, revision of the regulations related to publishing textual
descriptions of critical habitat boundaries in the Code of Federal
Regulations and as part of our response to Executive Order 13563 (Jan.
18, 2011) directing Federal agencies to review their existing
regulations and then to modify or streamline them in accordance with
what they learned.
DATES: This rule is effective August 23, 2021.
ADDRESSES: This final rule is available online at the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Executive Summary
Why we need to publish a rule amendment. We have reviewed our
critical habitat designations published in the Code of Federal
Regulations for plants. Based on that review, we have found that we can
provide more cost-efficient, helpful, and streamlined critical habitat
designations by removing the often-lengthy textual descriptions of
critical habitat boundaries from those designations for which the maps
have been determined to be sufficient to stand as the official
delineation of critical habitat. This rule does not increase, decrease,
or in any other way alter the critical habitat designations from which
we are removing the textual descriptions of boundaries. A change to the
Code of Federal Regulations can only be completed by issuing a final
rule.
The basis for our action. Executive Order 13563 directs Federal
agencies to review their existing regulations and then to modify or
streamline them in accordance with what they learned. This action
results from our review of
[[Page 38573]]
our critical habitat regulations. This change will save taxpayer
resources and make the critical habitat designations published in the
Code of Federal Regulations more user-friendly.
Background
On May 1, 2012, we published a final rule (77 FR 25611) revising
our regulations related to publishing textual descriptions of proposed
and final critical habitat boundaries in the Federal Register for
codification in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). In the interest
of making the process of designating critical habitat more user-
friendly for affected parties and the public as a whole, as well as
more efficient and cost effective, we maintained the publication of
maps of proposed and final critical habitat designations but made
optional the inclusion of any textual description of the boundaries of
the designation in the Federal Register for codification in the CFR.
The boundaries of critical habitat as mapped or otherwise described in
the Regulation Promulgation section of a rulemaking that is published
in the Federal Register is the official delineation of the critical
habitat designation. This approach began with critical habitat
designations published after the effective date of the final rule (May
31, 2012).
Specifically, for critical habitat rules published after May 31,
2012, the map(s), as clarified or refined by any textual language
within the rule, establish the legal boundaries of a critical habitat.
Each critical habitat area is shown on a map, with more-detailed
information discussed in the preamble or the rulemaking documents
published in the Federal Register. The map published in the CFR is
generated from the coordinates and/or plot points corresponding to the
location of the boundaries. These coordinates and/or plot points are
included in the administrative record for the designation and are
available to the public online and at the Service field office
responsible for the designation. In addition, if the Service concludes
that additional tools or supporting information are appropriate and
would help the public understand the official boundary map, we make the
additional tools and supporting information available on our internet
site and at the Service field office responsible for the critical
habitat designation.
The preamble to the May 1, 2012, final rule (77 FR 25611) explained
how the Service would handle boundaries for critical habitat that had
already been designated before May 31, 2012; the rule states that ``for
existing critical habitat designations, we also intend to remove the
textual descriptions of final critical habitat boundaries set forth in
the CFR in order to save the annual reprinting cost, but we must do so
in separate rulemakings to ensure that removing the textual
descriptions does not change the existing boundaries of those
designations'' (77 FR 25618). We have now begun applying this approach
to critical habitat designations promulgated prior to May 31, 2012.
This rule is the third, and final, in a series of rules based on our
evaluation of the map(s) in each critical habitat designation at 50 CFR
17.95, 17.96, and 17.99 to remove the textual descriptions without
changing the existing boundaries of those designations if we determine
the map(s) will be sufficient to inform the public of the boundaries of
the designations and can therefore stand as the official delineation of
the designation.
On October 27, 2017, we published a final rule (82 FR 49751)
removing textual descriptions of critical habitat boundaries from those
designations for plants on the Hawaiian Islands of Kauai, Niihau, and
Hawaii at 50 CFR 17.99. That final rule established that the map, as
clarified or refined by any textual language within the rule,
constitutes the definition of the boundaries of the critical habitat
for the applicable designation. It did not alter the locations of any
boundaries.
On April 27, 2018, we published a final rule (83 FR 18698) removing
textual descriptions of critical habitat boundaries from those
designations for mammals, birds, amphibians, fishes, clams, snails,
arachnids, crustaceans, and insects for which the maps were determined
to be sufficient to stand as the official delineation of critical
habitat at 50 CFR 17.95. That final rule established that the map, as
clarified or refined by any textual language within the rule,
constitutes the definition of the boundaries of the critical habitat
for the applicable designation. For critical habitat designations at 50
CFR 17.95(a)-(b) and (d)-(i) with maps that did not meet our
sufficiency criteria, we added a statement (``The map provided is for
informational purposes only.'') to clarify that the textual
descriptions, not the maps, in those entries are the official
delineation of critical habitat. The rule did not alter the locations
of any boundaries.
This revision to 50 CFR 17.96 is the third, and final, rule in a
series of rules to remove the textual descriptions of critical habitat
boundaries from those designations for which the maps have been
determined to be sufficient to stand as the official delineation of
critical habitat.
This Rule
For 50 CFR 17.96, we evaluated the map(s) in each entry to
determine whether or not the map(s) can stand as the official
delineation of the designation. All of the entries in 50 CFR 17.96 fall
within 17.96(a) (critical habitat for flowering plants). In each entry
we looked for a combination of certain map elements--including, but not
limited to, the name of the species (or of the grouping of species),
the unit number and/or name, the names of counties and/or States shown,
a clear map key, and an appropriate map scale--to determine whether or
not the maps are sufficient to serve as the official delineation of the
designation.
In this rule, we are removing the textual descriptions of critical
habitat boundaries from those entries at 50 CFR 17.96(a) that have maps
sufficient to stand as the official delineation of the designation. In
those entries, we are removing the word ``Note:'' (or ``NOTE:'' or
``Note:'') if it precedes a map that will now stand as the official
delineation of the critical habitat designation. For critical habitat
designations at 50 CFR 17.96(a) with maps that do not meet our
sufficiency criteria, we are adding a statement (``[The] map provided
is for informational purposes only.'') to clarify that the textual
descriptions, not the maps, in those entries are the official
delineation of critical habitat.
For certain designations, we are retaining the textual descriptions
of the boundaries of either the entire designated critical habitat unit
or of the areas excluded from the critical habitat designation to
clarify or refine the provided map, in accordance with 50 CFR 17.94. We
determined that for some designations, providing textual descriptions
of the boundaries enhanced the clarity of the designation, so we have
opted to retain those textual descriptions. In addition, we found that
in some instances retaining the textual description of an excluded area
is necessary because the relevant map(s) do not adequately show the
excluded area(s), which can be very small within a much larger critical
habitat unit. Retaining those textual descriptions ensures that the
public has accurate and complete information regarding critical habitat
units and areas excluded from critical habitat designation.
This rule does not increase, decrease, or in any other way alter
the critical habitat designations from which we are removing the
textual descriptions of boundaries. This administrative action will
save taxpayer resources. The
[[Page 38574]]
Service spent approximately $75,500 to reprint the critical habitat
designations at 50 CFR 17.96 for the most-recent print edition of the
CFR. Based on a review of the print edition of the CFR, we estimate
that this rule will remove approximately 179 pages of the relevant CFR
volume, amounting to a savings of approximately $14,320 per year in
printing costs for the Service. Over many years, eliminating the need
to reprint Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate pairs and
other textual descriptions at 50 CFR 17.96 will result in a
considerable cumulative cost savings for the Service and the public as
a whole. The detailed UTM coordinates or other textual descriptions we
are removing in this rule will continue to be available online at the
Federal eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES) and at the lead Service
field office responsible for the designation to assist the public in
understanding the official boundary.
We note that the Service never maintained that requiring detailed
textual descriptions was legally necessary. Instead, the first critical
habitat regulations required only that critical habitat designations be
``accompanied by maps and/or geographical descriptions'' (43 FR 870 876
(Jan. 4, 1978)). Although the Service subsequently added the
requirement that critical habitat designations include textual
descriptions describing the specific boundary limits of the critical
habitat, there is nothing in the preamble to that rule indicating that
the Service did so because the Act required it. Rather, it was in
response to several commenters, who had opined that the proposed rule
was not sufficiently clear in setting out the method by which critical
habitat boundaries would be described (45 FR 13009, 13015 (Feb. 27,
1980)).
Removing these unnecessary textual descriptions will significantly
reduce the length of some critical habitat designations, making each
designation easier to locate in the CFR; will not weaken the
effectiveness of the Act; and will not undermine the public's ability
to identify the boundaries of critical habitat designations.
The information printed in the CFR is the legally binding
delineation of critical habitat. If there is ambiguity due to the scale
of the map such that additional regulatory text is needed to ensure
that the public has adequate notice of the boundaries, we provide
additional regulation text. The only change to the CFR that we are
making with this action is removing the detailed textual description of
the boundaries of the specific areas designated as critical habitat
(e.g., latitude-longitude and UTM coordinates). We still generate those
data and make them available at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a> and at the
lead field office of the Service responsible for the critical habitat
designation. Neither the critical habitat designation nor the
underlying data on which it is based can be changed without undergoing
a further rulemaking.
As stated earlier, the actions we are taking in this rule do not
increase, decrease, or otherwise alter the critical habitat boundaries
or areas. For 50 CFR 17.96(a), we are merely removing the reference
points (e.g., UTM or latitude-longitude coordinates) of the textual
descriptions from existing final critical habitat designations, and we
are doing so only where we have determined that the existing maps are
sufficient to inform the public of the boundaries of the designations
and can therefore stand as the official delineation of critical
habitat. However, we will continue to provide the reference points of
the textual descriptions at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a> and at the lead
field office of the Service responsible for the critical habitat
designation.
The actions we are taking in this rule require us to also revise 50
CFR 17.94(b), to set forth an explanation of which critical habitat
designations have maps that stand as the official delineation of
critical habitat and which do not.
We are publishing this final rule without a prior proposal because
we find that there is good cause for doing so pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B). The ``good cause'' exception applies when an agency finds
``that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' Publication of a
proposed rule for this action is unnecessary because this is an
administrative action that does not increase, decrease, or otherwise
change critical habitat boundaries or areas. Therefore, this action
will not affect any legal rights. Rather, it will merely reduce the
publication length of some rules designating critical habitat, which
will save taxpayer resources and make each designation easier to locate
in the CFR. We find that it is in the best interest of the public to
promulgate these administrative and technical changes to 50 CFR 17.96
without undergoing procedures that are unnecessary.
Required Determinations
Regulatory Planning and Review--Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Order 12866 provides that the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) will review all significant rules. OIRA has
determined that this rule is not significant. Executive Order 13563
reaffirms the principles of E.O. 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. The executive order 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. 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 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq., 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 effects 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
the agency certifies the rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The SBREFA amended
the RFA to require Federal agencies to provide a statement of the
factual basis for certifying that the rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
According to the Small Business Administration, small entities
include small organizations such as independent nonprofit
organizations; small governmental jurisdictions, including school
boards and city and town governments that serve fewer than 50,000
residents; and small businesses (13 CFR 121.201). Small businesses
include such businesses as manufacturing and mining concerns with fewer
than 500 employees,
[[Page 38575]]
wholesale trade entities with fewer than 100 employees, and retail and
service businesses with less than $5 million in annual sales. In
general, the term ``significant economic impact'' is meant to apply to
a typical small business firm's business operations.
This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities as defined under the RFA. This
rule is an administrative action to remove the textual descriptions
from critical habitat designations at 50 CFR 17.96(a) that have maps
sufficient to stand as the official delineation of critical habitat.
This action does not increase, decrease, or in any other way alter the
areas or boundaries of the critical habitat designations from which we
are removing the textual descriptions of boundaries.
This action will save taxpayer resources. The Service spent
approximately $75,500 to reprint the critical habitat designations at
50 CFR 17.96 for the most-recent print edition of the CFR. Based on a
review of the print edition of the CFR, we estimate that this rule will
remove approximately 179 pages of the relevant CFR volume, amounting to
a savings of approximately $14,320 per year in printing costs for the
Service. While over many years, eliminating the need to reprint
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate pairs and other textual
descriptions at 50 CFR 17.96 will result in a considerable cumulative
cost savings to the Service and the public as a whole, this rule will
result in only a small annual savings to the Service and the public.
Therefore, for the reasons above, we certify that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.)
In accordance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501
et seq.), the Services make the following findings:
a. This rule will not produce a Federal mandate. In general, a
Federal mandate is a provision in legislation, statute, or regulation
that would impose an enforceable duty upon State, local, or Tribal
governments, or the private sector and includes both ``Federal
intergovernmental mandates'' and ``Federal private sector mandates.''
These terms are defined in 2 U.S.C. 658(5)-(7). ``Federal
intergovernmental mandate'' includes a regulation that ``would impose
an enforceable duty upon State, local, or tribal governments'' with two
exceptions: (1) ``A condition of Federal assistance'' or (2) ``a duty
arising from participation in a voluntary Federal program,'' unless the
regulation ``relates to a then-existing Federal program under which
$500,000,000 or more is provided annually to State, local, and tribal
governments under entitlement authority''; the provision would either
``increase the stringency of conditions of assistance'' or ``place caps
upon, or otherwise decrease, the Federal Government's responsibility to
provide funding''; and the State, local, or Tribal governments ``lack
authority . . . to amend their financial or programmatic
responsibilities to continue providing required services.'' At the time
of enactment, these entitlement programs were: Medicaid; AFDC work
programs; Child Nutrition; Food Stamps; Social Services Block Grants;
Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants; Foster Care, Adoption
Assistance, and Independent Living; Family Support Welfare Services;
and Child Support Enforcement. ``Federal private sector mandate''
includes a regulation that ``would impose an enforceable duty upon the
private sector, except (i) a condition of Federal assistance or (ii) a
duty arising from participation in a voluntary Federal program.'' This
rule does not produce a Federal mandate under either of these
definitions.
b. This rule will not significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, because the revisions to the regulations in this rule
should make our critical habitat designations more user-friendly and
will make the process more cost-effective for the Service and the
public as a whole. As such, we do not believe that a Small Government
Agency Plan is required.
Takings--Executive Order 12630
In accordance with Executive Order 12630 (``Government Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally Protected Private Property
Rights''), we have evaluated this rule, and we have determined that
this rule does not pose significant takings implications. The revisions
to the regulations set forth in this rule do not involve individual
property rights.
Federalism--Executive Order 13132
In accordance with Executive Order 13132 (Federalism), the rule
does not have significant Federalism effects. A federalism summary
impact statement is not required. The revisions to the regulations
addressed in this rule are intended to promote the usability of the
regulations and make the process of designating critical habitat more
cost-effective, and thus should not significantly affect or burden the
authority of the States to govern themselves.
Civil Justice Reform--Executive Order 12988
In accordance with Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform),
this rule follows the Civil Justice Reform principles for regulations
that do not unduly burden the Federal judicial system, by meeting the
requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b) of the Executive Order. The
revisions to the regulations addressed in this rule should not
significantly affect or burden the judicial system.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This rule does not contain any new collections of information that
require approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
We analyzed this rule in accordance with the criteria of the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.), 43 CFR part 46, and 516 Departmental Manual (DM) 2 and 8.
A categorical exclusion from NEPA documentation applies to
policies, directives, regulations, and guidelines that are ``of an
administrative, financial, legal, technical, or procedural nature'' (43
CFR 46.210(i)). This rule falls within this categorical exclusion
because it is administrative and technical in nature--it affects only
the format in which the critical habitat boundaries are delineated in
the regulations. However, even if an individual Federal action falls
within a categorical exclusion, the Service must still prepare
environmental documents pursuant to NEPA if one of the 12 exceptions
listed in 43 CFR 46.215 applies.
We have reviewed each of the 12 exceptions and have found that
because this rule is administrative in nature, none of the exceptions
apply. Although the exception at 43 CFR 46.215(h) applies to actions
that ``have a significant impact'' on listed species or designated
critical habitat, this action will not have any such significant
impact, because it is administrative in nature and affects only the
format in which critical habitat boundaries are delineated and not the
substance of the critical habitat designations. Therefore, this action
meets the requirements for a
[[Page 38576]]
categorical exclusion from the NEPA process.
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 ``Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,'' and the Department of
the Interior Manual at 512 DM 2, we readily acknowledge our
responsibility to communicate meaningfully with recognized Native
American Tribes on a government-to-government basis. We have evaluated
the potential effects on federally recognized Tribes from these
revisions to our regulations. We have determined that there are no
potential effects to federally recognized Tribes, as the revisions to
the regulations are intended to promote the usability of critical
habitat designations and save taxpayer monies. We will continue to
coordinate with Tribes as we promulgate critical habitat designations.
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
Executive Order 13211 (Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use) requires
agencies to prepare Statements of Energy Effects when undertaking
certain actions. ``Significant energy action'' means any action by an
agency (normally published in the Federal Register) that promulgates or
is expected to lead to the promulgation of a final rule or regulation,
including notices of inquiry, advance notices of proposed rulemaking,
and notices of proposed rulemaking that is a significant regulatory
action under Executive Order 12866 or any successor order, and is
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy; or that is designated by the
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a
significant energy action. This rule does not qualify as a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 and will not have a
significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy, and has not been designated by the Administrator of the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy action.
Therefore, this action is not a significant energy action and no
Statement of Energy Effects is required.
