Abstract: On March 16, 1934, Congress passed, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed, the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (16 U.S.C. 718a et seq.). Popularly known as the Duck Stamp Act, it requires all migratory waterfowl hunters 16 years of age or older to buy a Federal migratory bird hunting and conservation stamp (Federal Duck Stamp) annually. The stamps are a vital tool for wetland conservation. Ninety-eight cents out of every dollar generated by the sale of Federal Duck Stamps is used for the purchase or lease wetland habitat for protection in the National Wildlife Refuge System. The Federal Duck Stamp program is one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated and is a highly effective way to conserve America’s natural resources. Besides serving as a hunting permit and a conservation tool, a current year’s Federal Duck Stamp also serves as an entrance pass for national wildlife refuges where admission is charged. Duck Stamps and products that bear stamp images are also popular collector’s items. The Electronic Duck Stamp Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–266) required the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a 3year pilot program, under which States could issue electronic Federal Duck Stamps. This pilot program was made permanent with the passage of the Permanent Electronic Duck Stamp Act of 2013 (Pub. L. 113–239). The Duck Stamp Modernization Act of 2023 (Modernization Act; Pub. L. 118–25) removed the temporary nature of the electronic stamp certificate, making the electronic stamp valid from the time of purchase through the next June 30. The electronic stamp can be stored either digitally or printed and carried as a hard copy. The Modernization Act also stipulates that a physical stamp would be mailed to all electronic stamp purchasers after March 10. Today anyone, regardless of their State or country of residence, is able to purchase an electronic Duck Stamp through any State that participates in the program. The electronic stamp is issued as a certificate or proof of purchase and is valid from the date of purchase until the end of the Federal E:\FR\FM\03JNN1.SGM 03JNN1
