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 http://www.regulations.gov.

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 costefficient, 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

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 userfriendly 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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
38574 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 138 / Thursday, July 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

http://www.regulations.gov 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 latitudelongitude 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 http://

www.regulations.gov 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, 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 138 / Thursday, July 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 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 costeffective 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 costeffective, 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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
38576 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 138 / Thursday, July 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

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

Regulation Promulgation 

Accordingly, we amend part 17, 

subchapter B of chapter I, title 50 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations, as follows: 

PART 17—ENDANGERED AND 

THREATENED WILDLIFE AND PLANTS 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 17 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1361–1407; 1531– 

1544; 4201–4245, unless otherwise noted. 

■ 2. Amend § 17.94 by revising the table 

in paragraph (b) to read as follows: 

§ 17.94 Critical habitats. 

* * * * * 

(b) * * * 

If the critical habitat map 

appears in . . . Then . . . 

(1) A critical habitat designation in § 17.95(a), (b), 

(d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i), 

or in § 17.96(a), and the 

designation does not 

state that the map(s) is 

for informational purposes 

only, or 

(2) A critical habitat designation in § 17.99, or 

(3) A critical habitat designation published and effective after May 31, 

2012, 

The map provided by the Secretary of the Interior, as clarified or refined by any textual language within the rule, 

constitutes the definition of the boundaries of a critical habitat. Each critical habitat area will be shown on a 

map, with more-detailed information discussed in the preamble of the rulemaking documents published in the 

Federal Register and made available from the lead field office of the Service responsible for such designation. 

Each area will be referenced to the State(s), county(ies), or other local government units within which all or part 

of the critical habitat is located. General descriptions of the location and boundaries of each area may be provided to clarify or refine what is included within the boundaries depicted on the map, or to explain the exclusion 

of sites (e.g., paved roads, buildings) within the mapped area. Unless otherwise indicated within the critical habitat descriptions, the names of the State(s) and county(ies) are provided for informational purposes only and do 

not constitute the boundaries of the area. 

(4) A critical habitat designation that states that 

the map(s) is for informational purposes only, or 

(5) A critical habitat designation published and effective on or prior to May 

31, 2012, that is set forth 

at § 17.95(c), 

The map provided by the Secretary of the Interior is for reference purposes to guide Federal agencies and other 

interested parties in locating the general boundaries of the critical habitat. The map does not, unless otherwise 

indicated, constitute the definition of the boundaries of a critical habitat. Critical habitats are described by reference to surveyable landmarks found on standard topographic maps of the area and to the States and county(ies) within which all or part of the critical habitat is located. Unless otherwise indicated within the critical habitat description, the State and county(ies) names are provided for informational purposes only.

Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and 

Butterfish Fisheries; Specifications 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NMFS sets new 2021 and 

projected specifications for fishing year 

2022 butterfish and Illex squid, while 

maintaining the current longfin squid 

and Atlantic mackerel specifications for 

2021 and projected for 2022–2023. This 

action also adjusts the dealer reporting 

requirement and adjusts the closure 

threshold for the Illex squid fishery to 

avoid overages. This action is required 

to ensure that specifications for these 

fisheries is based on the best scientific 

information available. These 

specifications are intended to promote 

the sustainable utilization and 

conservation of the mackerel, squid, and 

butterfish resources. Additionally, this 

action reaffirms previously approved 

Atlantic chub mackerel specifications 

for 2021–2022. 

DATES: Effective July 22, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of supporting 

documents used by the Mid-Atlantic 

Fishery Management Council, including 

the Environmental Assessment (EA), the 

Regulatory Impact Review (RIR), and the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

analysis are available on the MidAtlantic Fishery Management Council’s 

website, or from: Dr. Christopher M. 

Moore, Executive Director, Mid-Atlantic 

Fishery Management Council, 800 North 

State Street, Suite 201, Dover, DE 19901, 

telephone (302) 674–2331. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aly 

Pitts, Fishery Management Specialist, 

(978) 281–9352. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The regulations implementing the 

Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP) require the 

Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management 

Council’s Mackerel, Squid, and 

Butterfish Monitoring Committee to 

develop specification recommendations 

for each species based upon the 

acceptable biological catch (ABC) advice 

of the Council’s Scientific and 

Statistical Committee (SSC). The FMP 

regulations also require the specification 

of annual catch limits (ACL) and 

accountability measure (AM) provisions 

for butterfish. Both squid species are 

exempt from the ACL/AM requirements 

because they have a life cycle of less 

than one year. The regulations for squid 

require the specification of domestic 

annual harvest (DAH), the butterfish 

mortality cap in the longfin squid 

fishery, and initial optimum yield (IOY) 

for both squid species.
