Interior Department, Fish and Wildlife Service
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are revising current regulatory authorizations and adding new regulatory authorizations for possession of migratory birds and eagles and for other purposes. These regulatory revisions will allow us to authorize the general public, educators, and government agency employees to possess migratory birds and eagles in certain specific situations and still meet our obligations to protect migratory birds and eagles under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. We also are changing the Airborne Hunting Act regulations to clarify what Federal authorizations may be used to comply with that statute.
