Draft Permit Conditions for Abatement 

Activities Using Raptors 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, have drafted permit 

conditions to allow the use of raptors 

protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty 

Act for abatement activities. We will 

authorize the use of these raptors for 

this purpose under our special purpose 

permits. We are asking for comments on 

our draft permit conditions. Allowing 

the use of raptors to conduct abatement 

activities is consistent with ensuring the 

long-term conservation of these species 

and will serve a public need. 

DATES: We will accept written 

comments until February 12, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(FWS or Service) is the Federal agency 

with primary responsibility for 

managing migratory birds. Our authority 

is the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) 

(16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.), which 

implements conventions with Great 

Britain (for Canada), Mexico, Japan, and 

the Soviet Union (Russia). Activities 

with migratory birds are prohibited 

unless specifically authorized by 

regulation. The MBTA authorizes us to 

issue regulations governing permits for 

migratory bird use. They are found in 

title 50, Code of Federal Regulations, 

parts 10, 13, 21, and 22. 

We have implemented a series of 

migratory bird permit memoranda to 

ensure consistent implementation of our 

regulations and policies pertaining to 

migratory birds. Our latest 

memorandum in the series provides 

guidance for issuing Special Purpose 

permits (50 CFR 21.27) to authorize the 

possession and use of raptors protected 

by the MBTA to abate depredation 

problems. For purposes of this 

memorandum, ‘‘abatement’’ means the 

training and use of raptors to flush, 

haze, or take birds (or other wildlife 

where allowed) to mitigate depredation 

problems, including threats to human 

health and safety. Permit holders may 

be paid for providing abatement 

services. We developed this draft 

memorandum in response to growing
