Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 9, 2021 / Rules and Regulations governments, or for anyone else. As a result, the rule does not have substantial direct effects either on the State, or on the relationship between the national government and the State, or on the distribution of powers and responsibilities among the various levels of government. The designation may have some benefit to these governments because the areas that contain the features essential to the conservation of the species are more clearly defined, and the physical or biological features of the habitat necessary to the conservation of the species are specifically identified. This information does not alter where and what federally sponsored activities may occur. However, it may assist these local governments in long-range planning because these local governments no longer have to wait for case-by-case section 7 consultations to occur.
Where State and local governments require approval or authorization from a Federal agency for actions that may affect critical habitat, consultation under section 7a2 will be required.
While non-Federal entities that receive Federal funding, assistance, or permits, or that otherwise require approval or authorization from a Federal agency for an action, may be indirectly impacted by the designation of critical habitat, the legally binding duty to avoid destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat rests squarely on the Federal agency.
Civil Justice ReformExecutive Order 12988
In accordance with Executive Order 12988 Civil Justice Reform, the Office of the Solicitor has determined that the rule does not unduly burden the judicial system and that it meets the requirements of sections 3a and 3b2
of the Order. We are designating critical habitat in accordance with the provisions of the Act. To assist the public in understanding the habitat needs of the species, this rule identifies the elements of physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the species. The designated areas of critical habitat are presented on maps, and the rule provides several options for

National Environmental Policy Act 42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.
It is our position that, outside the jurisdiction of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, we do not need to prepare environmental analyses pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act in connection with listing species and designating critical habitat under the Act. We published a notice outlining our reasons for this determination in the Federal Register on October 25, 1983 48 FR 49244. This position was upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Douglas County v. Babbitt, 48 F.3d 1495 9th Cir. 1995, cert. denied 516

In accordance with Secretarial Order 3206
