Interior Department, Fish and Wildlife Service
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (we, us, or USFWS) proposes to approve four shot types or alloys for hunting waterfowl and coots and to change the listing of approved nontoxic shot types in 50 CFR 20.21(j) to reflect the cumulative approvals of nontoxic shot types and alloys. These four shot types or alloys were submitted to us separately, and we published advance notices of proposed rulemakings for these shot types under RINs 1018-AU04, 1018-AU09, 1018-AU13, and 1018-AU28, respectively. We now combine all these actions under RIN 1018-AU04. In addition, we propose to approve alloys of several metals because we have approved the metals individually at or near 100% in nontoxic shot.
