Semiannual Regulatory Agenda 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior. 

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides the 

semiannual agenda of rules scheduled 

for review or development between fall 

2017 and fall 2018. The Regulatory 

Flexibility Act and Executive Order 

12866 require publication of the agenda. 

ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated, 

all agency contacts are located at the 

Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street 

NW, Washington, DC 20240. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You 

should direct all comments and 

inquiries about these rules to the 

appropriate agency contact. You should 

direct general comments relating to the 

agenda to the Office of Executive 

Secretariat and Regulatory Affairs, 

Department of the Interior, at the 

address above or at 202–208–3181. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With this 

publication, the Department satisfies the 

requirement of Executive Order 12866 

that the Department publish an agenda 

of rules that we have issued or expect 

to issue and of currently effective rules 

that we have scheduled for review. 

Simultaneously, the Department 

meets the requirement of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) to 

publish an agenda in April and October 

of each year identifying rules that will 

have significant economic effects on a 

substantial number of small entities. We 

have specifically identified in the 

agenda rules that will have such effects. 

This edition of the Unified Agenda of 

Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory 

Actions includes The Regulatory Plan, 

which appears in both the online 

Unified Agenda and in part II of the 

Federal Register that includes the 

Unified Agenda. The Department’s 

Statement of Regulatory Priorities is 

included in the Plan.

Proposed Rule Stage 

288. Migratory Bird Hunting; 2018– 

2019 Migratory Game Bird Hunting 

Regulations 

E.O. 13771 Designation: Fully or 

Partially Exempt. 

Legal Authority: 16 U.S.C. 703 to 711; 

16 U.S.C. 742a–j 

Abstract: We propose to establish 

annual hunting regulations for certain 

migratory game birds for the 2018–2019 

hunting season. We annually prescribe 

outside limits (frameworks), within 

which States may select hunting 

seasons. This proposed rule provides 

the regulatory schedule, describes the 

proposed regulatory alternatives for the 

2018–2019 duck hunting seasons, 

requests proposals from Indian tribes 

that wish to establish special migratory 

game bird hunting regulations on 

Federal Indian reservations and ceded 

lands, and requests proposals for the 

2018 spring and summer migratory bird 

subsistence season in Alaska. Migratory 

game bird hunting seasons provide 

opportunities for recreation and 

sustenance; aid Federal, State, and tribal 

governments in the management of 

migratory game birds; and permit 

harvests at levels compatible with 

migratory game bird population status 

and habitat conditions.

289. Stream Protection Rule 

E.O. 13771 Designation: Deregulatory. 

Legal Authority: 30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq. 

Abstract: The final rule published 

December 20, 2016 (81 FR 93066) and 

became effective January 19, 2017. The 

final rule was nullified by a joint 

resolution of disapproval under the 

Congressional Review Act, signed by the 

President on February 16, 2017 (Pub. L. 

115–5). This action conforms to Public 

Law 115–5 by changing the Code of 

Federal Regulations to reflect the 

regulations as they existed before the 

effective date of the final rule that was 

nullified under the Congressional 

Review Act.
