50 CFR Part 17

[Docket No. FWS-R9-ES-2008-0125; 92100-1111-0000-B3]
RIN 1018-AW09


Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 44 Marine and 
Anadromous Taxa: Adding 10 Taxa, Delisting 1 Taxon, Reclassifying 1 
Taxon, and Updating 32 Taxa on 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 10 
marine taxa, delisting 1 marine taxon, reclassifying 1 marine taxon, 
and revising 32 marine taxa 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 April 13, 2011. For applicability date by 
individual taxon, see table 1 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 formal 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).
    Under section 4(a)(2)(A) of the Act, if NMFS determines that a 
species should be listed as endangered or threatened, or that a 
species' status should be changed from threatened to endangered, then 
NMFS is required to inform the Service of the status change. The 
Service is then responsible for implementing the status change by 
publishing a final rule to amend the List 50 CFR 17.11(h). Under 
section 4(a)(2)(B) of the Act, if NMFS determines that a species should 
be removed from the List (delisted), or that a species' status should 
be changed from an endangered to a threatened species, then NMFS is 
required to recommend the status change to the Service. If the Service 
concurs with the recommended status change, then the Service will 
implement the status change by publishing a final rule to amend the 
List 50 CFR 17.11(h).
    As described below and set forth at table 1, 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 Caribbean 
monk seal; 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. Section 4(a)(2)(B) applies to the NMFS's 
recommendation to delist the Caribbean monk seal; we have concurred 
with NMFS's recommendation, and this rule implements that action.

Listings

    We are adding the following ten species to the List based on NMFS 
final rules:
    <bullet> Coho salmon, Lower Columbia River evolutionarily 
significant unit (ESU), as threatened (70 FR 37160; June 28, 2005);
    <bullet> Steelhead, Puget Sound distinct population segment (DPS), 
as threatened (72 FR 26722; May 11, 2007);
    <bullet> Coho salmon, Oregon Coast ESU, as threatened with critical 
habitat (73 FR 7816; February 11, 2008);
    <bullet> Beluga whale, Cook Inlet DPS, as endangered (73 FR 62919; 
October 22, 2008);
    <bullet> Black abalone as endangered (74 FR 1937; January 14, 
2009);
    <bullet> Bocaccio, Puget Sound/Georgia Basin DPS, as endangered (75 
FR 22276; April 28, 2010);
    <bullet> Canary rockfish, Puget Sound/Georgia Basin DPS, as 
threatened (75 FR 22276; April 28, 2010);
    <bullet> Pacific eulachon, Southern DPS, as threatened (75 FR 
13012; March 18, 2010); and
    <bullet> Yelloweyerockfish, Puget Sound/Georgia Basin DPS, as 
threatened (75 FR 22276; April 28, 2010);
    <bullet> Spotted seal, southern DPS, as threatened (75 FR 65239), 
with a 4(d) rule.

    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 
(AlseaValleyAlliance 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. 08-01547; 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 
proposed to affirm the status for this ESU by promulgating a rule to 
supersede its February 11, 2008, listing determination (75 FR 29489; 
May 26, 2010).

Delisting

    We are delisting the following species based on a NMFS final rule:
    <bullet> Caribbean monk seal (73 FR 63901; October 28, 2008).

Reclassification

    We are reclassifying the following species based on a NMFS final 
rule:
    <bullet> Coho salmon, Central California Coast ESU, from threatened 
to endangered (70 FR 37160; June 28, 2005).

Revisions

    We are updating 32 entries on the List based on NMFS final rules 
and to make these entries easier for the public to identify as follows:
    <bullet> ``Common Name'' (adding ESU subtitles) and ``Vertebrate 
population where endangered or threatened'' updates for 14 salmon 
ESUs--Chinook (California coastal, Central Valley spring-run, Lower 
Columbia River, Puget Sound, Sacramento River winter-run, Snake River 
fall-run, Snake River spring/summer, Upper Columbia River spring-run 
(as discussed below), and Upper Willamette), chum (Columbia River, Hood 
Canal summer-run), coho (Central California Coast, Southern Oregon-
Northern California Coast), and sockeye (Ozette Lake, Snake River)(70 
FR 37160; June 28, 2005).
    <bullet> Common Name'' (adding DPS subtitles) and ``Vertebrate 
population where endangered or threatened'' updates for 10 steelhead 
DPSs--

[[Page 20559]]

California Central Valley, Central California Coast, Lower Columbia 
River, Middle Columbia River, Northern California, Snake River Basin, 
South-Central California Coast, Southern California, Upper Columbia 
River, and Upper Willamette River (71 FR 833; January 5, 2006).
    <bullet> A status correction from threatened to endangered for the 
Upper Columbia River spring-run Chinook ESU (64 FR 14308, March 24, 
1999; and 70 FR 37160, June 28, 2005) (This is the second change 
described to the entry for this species; the first is listed above with 
the updates to the 14 salmon ESUs.).
    <bullet> A new common name (Salmon, Atlantic, Gulf of Maine DPS) 
for the endangered Salmosalar, which is jointly listed as a DPS by NMFS 
and the Service, to make it clearer to the public and a critical 
habitat entry (74 FR 29344, June 19, 2009; and 74 FR 29300, June 19, 
2009).
    <bullet> A right whale taxonomic revision of March 6, 2008 (73 FR 
12024), which is consistent with the technical revision of 68 FR 17560 
(April 10, 2003). We formally accept the technical revisions of 68 FR 
17560 as of this publication and revise the North Pacific right whale 
to add the critical habitat entry of April 8, 2008 (73 FR 19000).
    <bullet> A critical habitat entry for the Southern Resident DPS of 
killer whale (71 FR 69054; November 29, 2006), United States DPS of the 
smalltooth sawfish (74 FR 45353; September 2, 2009), elkhorn coral and 
staghorn coral (74 FR 72209; November 26, 2008), and Southern DPS of 
the North American green sturgeon (74 FR 52299; October 9, 2009).
    <bullet> A 4(d) rule entry for Puget Sound steelhead (73 FR 55451; 
September 25, 2008), elkhorn and staghorn corals (73 FR 64264; October 
29, 2008), and the Southern DPS of green sturgeon (75 FR 30714; June 2, 
2010).
    The previous NMFS Federal Register publications to propose and 
finalize listings for these species are in table 1. In all cases, 
within the published final rule, NMFS addressed the public comments 
received.

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 upon 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 (OMB) control number.

List of Subjects in 50 CFR Part 17

    Endangered and threatened species, Exports, Imports, Reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements, Transportation.
