RIN 1018–AV34 

Migratory Bird Permits; Control of 

Muscovy Ducks, Revisions to the 

Waterfowl Permit Exceptions and 

Waterfowl Sale and Disposal Permits 

Regulations 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, propose changes in the 

regulations governing control of 

introduced migratory birds. The 

muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) 

occurs naturally only in southern Texas. 

It has been introduced in other 

locations, where it is considered an 

invasive species that sometimes creates 

problems through competition with 

native species, damage to property, and 

transmission of disease. We propose to 

revise 50 CFR part 21 to prohibit sale of 

muscovy ducks for hunting, and to 

allow their removal in locations in 

which the species does not occur 

naturally in the contiguous United 

States, Alaska, and Hawaii, and in U.S. 

territories and possessions. This will 

require a revision of § 21.14 (permit 

exceptions for captive-bred migratory 

waterfowl other than mallard ducks) 

and a revision of § 21.25 (waterfowl sale 

and disposal permits), and the addition 

of § 21.54, an order to allow control of 

muscovy ducks, their nests, and eggs. 

We also have rewritten the affected 

regulations to make them easier to 

understand.
