Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 25, 2021 / Proposed Rules
Separate from its proposed listing as an endangered species, as a CITES-listed species, all international trade of Amur sturgeon by persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States must also comply with CITES requirements pursuant to Section 9c, g of the Act and 50 CFR part 23. Applicable wildlife import/export requirements established under Section 9df of the Act, the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 16
U.S.C. 3371, et seq., and 50 CFR part 14 must also be met for Amur sturgeon imports and exports. Questions regarding whether specific activities would constitute a violation of section 9 of the Act should be directed to Mary Cogliano, Chief of the Branch of Permits mary_cogliano@fws.gov.
Required Determinations Clarity of the Rule We are required by Executive Orders 12866 and 12988 and by the Presidential Memorandum of June 1, 1998, to write all rules in plain language. This means that each rule we publish must:
1 Be logically organized;
2 Use the active voice to address readers directly;
3 Use clear language rather than jargon;
4 Be divided into short sections and sentences; and Common name

5 Use lists and tables wherever possible.
If you feel that we have not met these requirements, send us comments by one of the methods listed in ADDRESSES. To better help us revise the rule, your comments should be as specific as possible. For example, you should tell us the numbers of the sections or paragraphs that are unclearly written, which sections or sentences are too long, the sections where you feel lists or tables would be useful, etc.

The primary authors of this proposed rule are staff members of the Services Branch of Delisting and Foreign Species.
List of Subjects in 50 CFR Part 17
Endangered and threatened species, Exports, Imports, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Transportation.
Proposed Regulation Promulgation Accordingly, we propose to amend part 17, subchapter B of chapter I, title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as set forth below:

National Environmental Policy Act 42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.
We have determined that environmental assessments and environmental impact statements, as defined under the authority of the National Environmental Policy Act 42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq., need not be prepared in connection with listing a species as an endangered or threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. We published a notice outlining our reasons for this determination in the Federal Register on October 25, 1983
48 FR 49244.
