SUMMARY: This notice provides the semiannual agenda of rules scheduled

Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order 12866 require
publication of the agenda.
ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated, all agency contacts are located

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You should direct all comments and

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.
