49 CFR Part 801
[Docket No.: NTSB–2021–0006]
Internal Personnel Rules and Practices
of the NTSB; Corrections
AGENCY
: National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB).
ACTION
: Correcting amendments.
SUMMARY
: This document corrects the
wording reflected in various sections in
part 801 as a result of the amendatory
language in the interim final rule (IFR)
published in the Federal Register (FR)
on October 4, 2021. The IFR amended
part 801, in pertinent part, by revising
all references to ‘‘public reading room’’
to read ‘‘electronic reading room’’.
Consequently, that revision resulted in
needless repetition of ‘‘electronic
reading room’’ in several part 801
regulations. This correction amends the
affected regulations to reflect the
agency’s original intent.
DATES
: Effective on December 30, 2021.

Kathleen Silbaugh, General Counsel,
(202) 314–6080, rulemaking@ntsb.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: This
document corrects the wording of
certain regulations in part 801 affected
by the amendatory language reflected in
the IFR published in the FR on October
4, 2021. 86 FR 54641 (Oct. 4, 2021).
Specifically, the IFR amended part 801,
in part, by revising all references to
‘‘public reading room’’ to read
‘‘electronic reading room’’. As seen
below, that amendatory instruction
resulted in the needless repetition of the
word ‘‘electronic reading room’’ in 49
CFR 801.10(b)(2), 801.10(c), 801.30,
801.31, 801.32(b), 801.41.
For example, § 801.10(b)(2) originally
read that the NTSB’s Chief, Records
Management Division ‘‘[m]aintains a
public reference room and an electronic
reading room in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 552(a)(2). The NTSB’s public
reference room is located at 490
L’Enfant Plaza SW, Washington, DC.
The NTSB’s electronic reading room is
located on the NTSB’s FOIA website,
found at http://www.ntsb.gov/.’’
(Emphasis added.)
After the IFR, however, that
regulation currently provides that the
NTSB’s Chief, Records Management
Division ‘‘[m]aintains an electronic
reading room and an electronic reading
room in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552(a)(2). The NTSB’s electronic reading
room is located at 490 L’Enfant Plaza
SW, Washington, DC. The NTSB’s
electronic reading room is located on
the NTSB’s FOIA website, found at
http://www.ntsb.gov/.’’ (Emphasis
added.)
To eliminate the redundancy, this
document will revise that section to
read: ‘‘Maintains an electronic reading
room in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552(a)(2). The NTSB’s electronic reading
room is accessible on the NTSB’s FOIA
website at https://www.ntsb.gov/.’’
This document will further revise the
remaining affected regulations to reflect
the agency’s original intent for part 801.

Within approximately four (4) weeks
after a public investigative hearing
conducted in accordance with part 845,
subpart A, of this chapter, the Chief,
Records Management Division, will

to Congress, in accordance with 49
U.S.C. 1117. The report will be available
on the NTSB’s website at https://
www.ntsb.gov. Interested parties may
purchase the report from the U.S.
Government Publishing Office or review
it in the NTSB’s electronic reading

Endangered and Threatened Species;
Removal of Siderastrea glynni From
the Federal List of Threatened and
Endangered Species
AGENCY
: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION
: Final rule.
SUMMARY
: We, NMFS, are issuing a final
rule to remove a coral, Siderastrea
glynni, from the Federal List of
Threatened and Endangered Species.
Recently obtained genetic and
morphological information
demonstrates that S. glynni does not
meet the statutory definition of a
species, and therefore does not qualify
for listing under the Endangered Species
Act (ESA). Following public comment
and peer review of the proposed rule
and supporting scientific information,
this final rule implements the changes
to the listing for S. glynni.
DATES
: This final rule is effective on
January 31, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
On July 15, 2013, WildEarth
Guardians petitioned us to list 81
marine species, including Siderastrea
glynni, as threatened or endangered
under the ESA and to designate critical
habitat. On October 25, 2013, we found
that the petition presented substantial
scientific information indicating that
listing three species of foreign corals,
including S. glynni, may be warranted,
and initiated a Status Review (78 FR
63941).
The Status Review (Meadows 2014)
used the best available scientific and
commercial data to consider the status
of and extinction risk to each of the
three species. The Status Review noted
genetic similarities between S. glynni
(occurring in the eastern Pacific) and the
Caribbean coral species Siderastrea
siderea but ultimately concluded that S.
glynni was a valid and unique species.
Based on the lack of known populations
in the wild, existence of only a small
captive population in a single location,
low growth rate and genetic diversity,
and potential increased threats from El
Nin
˜o, climate change, disease, and
habitat degradation should it be
reintroduced to Panama, extinction risk
for this species was assessed to be high.
Informed by the Status Review and the
best available scientific and commercial
data, NMFS published a final rule to list
the species as endangered under the
ESA on October 7, 2015, and the listing
became effective on November 6, 2015
(80 FR 60560).
On April 7, 2020, we announced a 5-
year review (85 FR 19456) for 3 foreign
coral species including S. glynni. The 5-
year review was completed on
September 16, 2020 (NMFS 2020) and is
available at: https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resource/
document/3-foreign-corals-5-year-
review. To complete the review, we
collected, evaluated, and incorporated
all information on the species that had
become available since October 2015,
the date of the final listing rule,
including newly obtained genetic and
morphological information relating to
the taxonomy of S. glynni. This newly
obtained information and the 5-year
review inform the conclusions in this
final rule.
Proposed Rule
Under section 4(c)(2) of the ESA, the
Secretary shall conduct, at least once
every 5 years, a review of a listed
species and consider, among other
things, whether a species’ listing status
should be changed. Pursuant to
implementing regulations at 50 CFR
424.11(e), a species shall be delisted if
the Secretary of Commerce finds that,
after conducting a status review based
on the best scientific and commercial
data available:
(1) The species is extinct;
(2) The species does not meet the
definition of an endangered species or a
threatened species; or
(3) The listed entity does not meet the
statutory definition of a species.
Informed by the conclusions of the 5-
year review (NMFS 2020) and our
interpretation of the best available
scientific and commercial data, on May
4, 2021, we issued a proposed rule (86
FR 23657) to remove S. glynni from the
Federal List of Threatened and
Endangered Species because it does not
meet the statutory definition of a
species. The proposed rule included the
following finding on the identity of the
species.
The discovery of S. glynni occurred in
1992 at Uraba
´Island, Panama Gulf,
where five live colonies of Siderastrea
