DATES:

Background
On May 26, 2015, the Service
published in the Federal Register a
notice of intent (80 FR 30032) to prepare
a programmatic environmental impact
statement (PEIS) pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321–4347). The
purpose of the PEIS was to evaluate the
potential environmental impacts of a
proposal to authorize incidental take of
migratory birds under the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703–
711). The Service was considering
rulemaking to address various
approaches to regulating incidental take
of migratory birds. The regulations
would also have provided protection for
entities that had taken efforts to reduce
incidental take by promoting
implementation of appropriate
conservation measures to avoid or
reduce avian mortality.
Announcement
Due to issuance of the December 22,
2017, DOI Solicitor Opinion (M–37050),
the actions contemplated are
superseded, and we are no longer
pursuing action on the PEIS as
announced in the notice of intent that
was published in the Federal Register
on May 26, 2015 (80 FR 30032). We
publish this document under the
authorities of NEPA and the MBTA.
Dated: May 16, 2018.

Deputy Director for U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Exercising the Authority of the
Director for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
