Jun 8, 2021· Comment from U.S. Chamber of Commerce· FWS-HQ-MB-2018-0090-19140
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) proposed rule, "Regulations Governing Take of Migratory Birds." The Chamber recognizes the importance of avian conservation but it nevertheless opposes revocation of the January 7, 2021, final rule (January 7 Rule), which interprets the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) to prohibit only those affirmative acts directed at migratory birds.
