- What it does
This final rule revises regulations for hunting and trapping seasons, harvest limits, and methods and means related to taking of wildlife for subsistence uses during the 2026-27 and 2027-28 regulatory years. The Federal Subsistence Board (hereafter referred to as "the Board") is on a schedule of completing the process of revising subsistence taking of wildlife regulations in even-numbered years and subsistence taking of fish and shellfish regulations in odd-numbered years; public proposal and review processes take place during the preceding year. The Board also addresses customary and traditional use determinations during the applicable cycle. This final rule revises the existing subsistence wildlife taking regulations, the general regulations on subsistence taking of fish and wildlife, customary and traditional use determinations, and addresses a deferred proposal regarding eulachon harvest in District 1 from the last fish cycle and a deferred proposal regarding brown bear hide sales from the last wildlife cycle. This final rule also makes administrative corrections to the regulations and corrects errors discovered since the last rulemaking.
