Attached please find joint comments from the American Clean Power Association (ACP), Audubon, Defenders of Wildlife and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) on the Service's draft eagle take permit program revisions. Thank you for the opportunity and your consideration. Tom Vinson ACP
Abstract
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, propose the following revisions to regulations authorizing the issuance of permits for eagle incidental take and eagle nest take. In addition to continuing to authorize specific permits, we propose the creation of general permits for certain activities under prescribed conditions. We propose a general permit option for qualifying wind-energy generation projects, power line infrastructure, activities that may disturb breeding bald eagles, and bald eagle nest take. We propose to remove the current third-party monitoring requirement from eagle incidental take permits. We also propose to update current permit fees and clarify definitions.
