50 CFR Parts 13 and 17

RIN AG44

Response to Public Comments on

Amending General Permitting

Regulations Relating to Habitat

Conservation Plans, Safe Harbor

Agreements and Candidate

Conservation Agreements With

Assurances

AGENCIES: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Final rule; affirmation.

SUMMARY: On June 17, 1999, the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service (Service)

published a final rule amending parts 13

and 17 of title 50 of the Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR). This rule created

regulations for the new Safe Harbor and

Candidate Conservation Agreements

with Assurances policies, and also

dictated when the permitting

requirements of Habitat Conservation

Plan (HCP), Safe Harbor Agreement

(SHA) and Candidate Conservation

Agreement with Assurances (CCAA)

permits, issued under the authority of

section 10 of the Endangered Species

Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), will

vary from the Service’s general part 13

permitting requirements. On February

11, 2000, we published a request for

additional public comment on seven

specific regulatory changes that altered

the applicability of 50 CFR part 13 to

permits for HCPs, SHAs and CCAAs.

Based on our review of the comments,

we have decided not to repropose any

of the amendments to part 13 or part 17.

DATES: Final rule published on June 17,

1999 remains effective.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Service administers a variety of

conservation laws that authorize the

issuance of certain permits for otherwise

prohibited activities. In 1974, we

published 50 CFR part 13 to consolidate

the administration of various permitting

programs. Part 13 established a uniform

framework of general administrative

conditions and procedures that would

govern the application, processing, and

issuance of all Service permits. We

intended that the general part 13

permitting provisions would apply to

the various Federal wildlife and plant

programs administered by the Service

and that the specific permitting

requirements applicable to each of these

programs would supplement rather than

replace the general part 13

requirements.

Subsequent to the 1974 publication of

part 13, we added many wildlife

regulatory programs to title 50 of the

CFR. For example, we added part 18 in

1974 to implement the Marine Mammal

Protection Act, modified and expanded

part 17 in 1975 to implement the ESA,

and added part 23 in 1977 to implement

the Convention on International Trade

in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna

and Flora (CITES). These parts

contained their own specific permitting

requirements in addition to the general

permitting provisions of part 13.

With respect to most of the programs

under the ESA, the combination of part

13’s general permitting provisions and

part 17’s specific permitting provisions

have worked well since 1975. However,

in three areas of emerging permitting

policy under the ESA, the general

approach of part 13 has turned out to be
