SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Our Regional Migratory Bird Permit
Offices use information that we collect
on permit applications to determine the
eligibility of applicants for permits
requested in accordance with the
criteria in various Federal wildlife
conservation laws and international
treaties, including:
(1) Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16
U.S.C. 703 et seq.).
(2) Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.).
(3) Bald and Golden Eagle Protection
Act (16 U.S.C. 668).
Service regulations implementing
these statutes and treaties are in Chapter
I, Subchapter B of Title 50 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR). These
regulations stipulate general and
specific requirements that, when met,
allow us to issue permits to authorize
activities that are otherwise prohibited.
This revised IC includes migratory
bird permit applications and the reports
associated with the permits. We have:
(1) Modified the format and content of
the currently approved application
forms so that they (a) are easier to
understand and complete and (b)
accommodate future electronic
permitting.
(2) Added six new forms:
(a) FWS Form 3-200-15b (Eagle Parts
for Native American Religious Purposes
- Reorder Request) will enable Native
Americans to send reorders directly to
the National Eagle Repository, which
distributes the parts, instead of to the
Regional permit office.
(b) FWS Form 3-200-77 (Native
American Religious Use - Eagle Take),
FWS Form 3-200-78 (Native American
Religious Use - Live Eagles), and FWS
Form 3-200-79 (Special PurposeAbatement Activities Using Raptors)
will provide the public with
applications specifically designed to
address information necessary to issue
permits for these activities.

(c) FWS Form 3-202-13 (Eagle

migratory birds.
(d) FWS Form 3-202-14 (Native
American Religious Use – Live Eagles
