Migratory Bird Permits; Removal of

(Mexican) Crow From the Depredation
Order for Blackbirds, Cowbirds,

Other Changes to the Order
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, change the regulations
governing control of depredating
blackbirds, cowbirds, grackles, crows,
and magpies at 50 CFR 21.43. Because
of long-term evidence of population
declines throughout much of their
ranges, we remove the Rusty Blackbird
(Euphagus carolinus) and the Mexican
(Tamaulipas) Crow (Corvus imparatus)
from the list of species that may be
controlled under the depredation order.
With the effective date of this final rule,
a depredation permit is required to
conduct control actions to take either of
these species. Also, nontoxic shot or
bullets must be used in most cases when
a firearm is used to control any species
listed under the order. Finally, we add
a requirement to report on control
actions taken under the order.
DATES: This regulation will be effective
on January 3, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is
the Federal agency delegated the
primary responsibility for managing
migratory birds. This delegation is
authorized by the Migratory Bird Treaty
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:24 Dec 01, 2010
Jkt 223001
Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.),
which implements conventions with
Great Britain (for Canada), Mexico,
Japan, and the Soviet Union (Russia).
Part 21 of title 50 of the Code of Federal
Regulations covers migratory bird
permits. Subpart D deals specifically
with the control of depredating birds
and presently includes eight
depredation orders. A depredation order
is a regulation that allows the take of
specific species of migratory birds, at
specific locations, and for specific
purposes without a depredation permit.
The depredation order at 50 CFR 21.43
for blackbirds, cowbirds, grackles,
crows, and magpies allows take when
individuals of an included species are
‘‘found committing or about to commit
depredations upon ornamental or shade
trees, agricultural crops, livestock, or
wildlife, or when concentrated in such
numbers and manner as to constitute a
health hazard or other nuisance.’’
II. Species We Are Removing From the
Depredation Order
We remove the Rusty Blackbird
(Euphagus carolinus) and the Mexican
(Tamaulipas) Crow (Corvus imparatus)
from the list of species that may be
controlled under the depredation order
at 50 CFR 21.43. We remove the Rusty
Blackbird because of the long-term
downward trend in its population and
its special conservation status. Because
of the very limited distribution of the
Tamaulipas Crow in the United States
and its apparent rapid decline in
numbers, we also remove this species
from the list of species that may be
controlled under the depredation order.
After the effective date of this final
rule (see DATES), any take of either of
these species will require a depredation
permit (50 CFR 21.41) or other
applicable MBTA permit. For
background and current information on
these two species, see our proposed rule
published December 8, 2008 (73 FR
74447).
III. Additional Regulatory Changes
We also require the use of nontoxic
ammunition for all take of migratory
birds under this depredation order to
prevent toxicity hazards to other
wildlife. Further, we require reporting
of control actions taken under the order
to give us data on the number of each
species taken each year to better
monitor the effects of such take on
populations of those species. We expect
the respondents to be mostly State and
Federal wildlife damage management
personnel who undertake blackbird
control to protect crops. We also make
the list of species to which the
depredation order applies more precise
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
75153
by listing each species that may be
controlled under the order.
IV. Comments on the Proposed Rule or
the Draft Environmental Assessment
Issue: Opposition to the depredation
order.
‘‘WS [U.S.D.A. Wildlife Services] is
notorious for indiscriminate regimes
that have resulted in the mortality of
uncountable millions of birds * * * and
will continue to pose a real risk to the
rusty blackbird and Tamaulipas crow
despite the proposed rule change. We
therefore request that 50 CFR § 21.43 not
only be narrowed in scope, but
withdrawn completely.’’
‘‘Currently, 50 CFR § 21.43 allows for
such a broad exemption from the
normal MBTA permitting process that
some migratory birds are afforded
virtually no protections—especially
given the enormous amount of land
conversion to agriculture and other
uses.’’
Response: Blackbird depredation on
crops has been clearly demonstrated.
We will consider the effects of the
depredation order as we obtain
information on reported take of birds
under its authority. We may make
changes in the depredation order if we
determine that it is advisable to do so.
However, we leave the order in place.
Issue: Nontoxic ammunition
requirement.
‘‘We are also convinced that FWS
should finalize its proposal to end the
use of toxic shot for killing blackbirds,
crows, and grackles, and thus also
commend that portion of the proposed
change to 50 CFR § 21.43 concerning
this point. Lead shot can have
detrimental effects on scavengers and
the environment.’’
‘‘I am writing to express my support
for * * * the requirement to use
nontoxic shot or bullets when a firearm
is used to control any species listed
under the order.’’
‘‘WS recommends eliminating the
non-toxic requirement for all
ammunition in all situations involving
blackbirds unless: (1) Further analysis
by the FWS provides definitive
evidence that lead ammunition has
impacted rusty blackbird populations
and (2) evidence is provided that lead
ammunition used under the authority of
the blackbird depredation order has
impacted other wildlife species.’’ (USDA
Wildlife Services)
‘‘Supporting documentation and
analysis is needed for all claims of lead
toxicosis in songbirds. The use of
unsupported claims of lead toxicosis in
songbirds should be discarded since
there is not any information from
