Please accept the following comments on behalf of the Center for Biological Diversity and Texas Physicians for Social Responsibility in response to the Fish and Wildlife Service's publishing of a proposed rule for station-specific hunting and sport fishing regulations for several National Wildlife Refuges for the 2022-2023 season (FWS-HQ-NWRS-2022-0055; 87 Fed. Reg. 35136). We urge FWS to avoid delays that threaten public health and the environment and phase-out lead ammunition across the entire refuge system by September 30, 2024. The science is clear that lead ammunition and tackle pose a significant threat to wildlife and human health, there are a wide range of cost-effective and readily available alternatives, and FWS has the duty to protect the health of native wildlife and human health on the National Wildlife Refuge system. See attached comments.
