Migratory Bird Permits - Changes in the Regulations Governing Falconry (US Fish and Wildlife Service Regulation) (FWS) (2018 Edition)The Law Library presents the complete text of the Migratory Bird Permits - Changes in the Regulations Governing Falconry (US Fish and Wildlife Service Regulation) (FWS) (2018 Edition).Updated as of May 29, 2018We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, change the regulations governing falconry in the United States. We have reorganized the regulations and added or changed some provisions in them. In particular, we have eliminated the requirement for a Federal permit to practice falconry. The changes will make it easier to understand the requirements for the practice of falconry, including take of raptors from the wild, and the procedures for obtaining a falconry permit. This rule also adds a provision allowing us to approve falconry regulations that Indian Tribes or U.S. territories adopt. State, tribal, or territorial laws and regulations governing falconry must meet the standards in these regulations by January 1, 2014, at which time the Federal permit program will be discontinued.This book contains:- The complete text of the Migratory Bird Permits - Changes in the Regulations Governing Falconry (US Fish and Wildlife Service Regulation) (FWS) (2018 Edition)- A table of contents with the page number of each section
