PART ll—SUBSISTENCE 

MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS FOR 

PUBLIC LANDS IN ALASKA 

■ 1. The authority citation for both 36 

CFR part 242 and 50 CFR part 100 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 3, 472, 551, 668dd,

Subpart B—Program Structure 

■ 2. In subpart B of 36 CFR part 242 and 

50 CFR part 100, amend § ll.10 by: 

■ a. Revising paragraphs (a), (b), and 

(d)(2); and 

■ b. Adding paragraphs (d)(11) through 

(13). 

The revisions and additions read as 

follows: 

§ll.10 Federal Subsistence Board. 

(a) Authority. The Secretary of the 

Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture 

hereby establish a Federal Subsistence 

Board (Board) and delegate to it the 

authority for administering the 

subsistence taking and uses of fish and 

wildlife on public lands and the related 

promulgation and signature authority 

for regulations of subparts C and D of 

this part. The Secretaries retain their 

existing authority to restrict or eliminate 

hunting, fishing, or trapping activities 

that occur on lands or waters in Alaska 

other than public lands when such 

activities interfere with subsistence 

hunting, fishing, or trapping on the 

public lands to such an extent as to 

result in a failure to provide the 

subsistence priority. The Secretaries 

also retain the ultimate responsibility 

for compliance with title VIII of 

ANILCA and other applicable laws and 

maintain oversight of the Board. 

(b) Membership. (1) The voting 

members of the Board are: A Chair who 

possesses personal knowledge of and 

direct experience with subsistence uses 

in rural Alaska to be appointed by the 

Secretary of the Interior with the 

concurrence of the Secretary of 

Agriculture; five public members who 

possess personal knowledge of and 

direct experience with subsistence uses 

in rural Alaska, three of whom shall be 

nominated or recommended by 

federally recognized Tribal governments 

in Alaska and shall possess personal 

knowledge of and direct experience 

with subsistence uses in rural Alaska 

(including Alaska Native subsistence 

uses), to be appointed by the Secretary 

of the Interior with the 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 Regional Forester, U.S. Forest 

Service; the Alaska State Director, 

Bureau of Land Management; and the 

Alaska Regional Director, Bureau of 

Indian Affairs. Each Federal agency 

member of the Board may appoint a 

designee. 

(2) Public Board members serve at the 

will of the Secretaries. The Secretaries 

maintain their authorities for 

replacement of Federal agency 

members, public Board members, or any 

designees. 

* * * * * 

(d) * * * 

(2) A quorum consists of five 

members when the total number of 

Board members is nine or fewer and six 

members when the total number of 

Board members is 10 or higher. 

* * * * * 

(11) The Secretary of the Interior, or 

the Secretary of Agriculture with respect 

to a unit of the National Forest System, 

retains authority to (at any time) stay, 

modify, or disapprove any action taken 

by the Board. 

(12) Special actions of the Board are 

not effective unless ratified by the 

Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary 

of Agriculture with respect to a unit of 

the National Forest System. To allow an 

opportunity for the Secretaries to 

modify, disapprove, stay, or expressly 

ratify any emergency or temporary 

special action taken by the Board, such 

Board actions generally will not become 

effective until 10 calendar days after the 

date of the action (or any longer period 

specified by the Board when taking the 

action), unless the Board determines 

that the situation calls for responsive 

action within a shorter period of time. 

If no action is taken by the Secretary to 

modify, disapprove, stay, or expressly 

ratify within 10 days (or the longer or 

shorter period specified by the Board), 

the emergency or temporary special 

action will be deemed automatically 

ratified for purposes of this subpart. The 

Secretaries may revisit a prior 

ratification (express or automatic) of a 

Board action at any time. For other 

Board actions (i.e., actions that follow 

the regular adoption process in § ll

.18), the Secretaries retain, and will 

exercise when appropriate, their 

authority to modify or disapprove 

actions prior to publication in the 

Federal Register, as is the current 

practice. 

(13) For Board actions such as cyclic 

regulation revisions, customary and 

traditional use determinations, 

subsistence resource regions, rural 

determinations, and requests for 

reconsideration, when the Secretaries 

deem appropriate, they will exercise 

their authority to modify or disapprove 

the actions prior to publication of the 

actions in the Federal Register. The 

Board’s special actions, both emergency 

and temporary, are often based on timesensitive harvest opportunities for rural 

Alaskans or critical conservation 

concerns for a species and are valid 

upon decision by the Board. However, 

the Secretaries may at any time rescind, 

modify, disapprove, or stay a special 

action by the Board. 

(14) The Secretaries may establish 

term limits for service of Board 

members in such circumstances as the 

Secretaries deem appropriate.

Permits for Incidental Take of Eagles 

and Eagle Nests; Correction and 

Technical Amendment 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction and 

technical amendment. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, correct and amend a 

final rule that revised the regulations for 

the issuance of permits for eagle 

incidental take and eagle nest take. A 

provision of the regulations in the final 

rule specifies eligibility criteria for 

general permits for wind energy projects 

based on eagle relative abundance and 

proximity to eagle nests. We have 

become aware of confusion on the part 

of some general permit applicants 

regarding this provision in the 

regulations. Accordingly, this document 

revises the regulatory text of the final 

rule to ensure clarity. In addition, the 

final rule inadvertently resulted in 

errors regarding footnotes to a table. 

This document corrects those errors. For 

the convenience of the public, we also 

provide information to access the 

Service’s online mapping tool for 

general permit eligibility. 

DATES: This rule is effective October 17, 

2024. 

ADDRESSES: The final rule and 

supplemental documents, including an 

environmental assessment, list of 

references cited, technical appendices, 

and public comments received, are 

available at https://www.regulations.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 12, 2024, under the 

authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle 

Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668–668d; 

hereafter, the ‘‘Eagle Act’’), the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service published a final 

rule to revise the regulations in title 50 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

that govern the issuance of permits for 

eagle incidental take and eagle nest take 

(89 FR 9920). That rule created general 

permits for certain activities under 

prescribed conditions, including general 

permit options for qualifying wind 

energy generation projects. While the 

rule primarily pertained to the 

regulations in 50 CFR part 22, Eagle 

Permits, the rule also included revisions 

to 50 CFR part 13, General Permit 

Procedures. 

Correction 

The February 12, 2024, final rule (89 

FR 9920) resulted in improper 

codification of the footnotes to a table at 

50 CFR 13.11(d)(4). This rule corrects 

the errors described below. 

Prior to the rule becoming effective on 

April 12, 2024, the table at 50 CFR 

13.11(d)(4) had four footnotes, the first 

of which was indicated by a superscript 

1 in a column heading: ‘‘Administration 

fee.1 ’’ 

In the February 12, 2024, final rule, 

the amendatory instruction for revising 

the table at 50 CFR 13.11(d)(4) 

(appearing at 89 FR 9956 as amendatory 

instruction 3) was written erroneously. 

The amendatory instruction correctly 

included an instruction to revise 

footnote 1; however, it did not include 

an instruction to revise the column 

headings to add a superscript for 

footnote 1 to an additional column 

heading (i.e., ‘‘Permit application fee’’). 

Moreover, the corresponding text 

below the amendatory instruction 

erroneously displayed the headings for 

the table with these column headings: 

‘‘Permit application fee 1’’ and 

‘‘Administration fee 2’’ and included 

accompanying footnotes 1 and 2 at the 

end of the table. However, these 

indicated revisions were in error as 

footnote 2 already occurs in the table 

under the subheading ‘‘Endangered 

Species Act/CITES/Lacey Act’’ and 

should not have been revised via this 

final rule. 

In addition to these errors in the final 

rule, the codification of the final rule’s 

changes to the footnotes to the table at 

50 CFR 13.11(d)(4) resulted in errors. As 

codified in the e-CFR (https://

www.ecfr.gov/), the table as now 

displayed includes only footnotes 3 and
