Department of the Interior September 14, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On September 29, 2020, the BLM published a notice in the Federal Register entitled, ``Notice of Filing of Plats of Survey; New Mexico; Oklahoma.'' The official filing of the four Oklahoma supplemental plats listed below is hereby stayed, pending consideration of all protests.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service, or we) seeks public and regulated-community input on potential approaches for further expediting and simplifying the permit process authorizing incidental take of eagles. This document also advises the public that the Service may, as a result of public input, prepare a draft environmental review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended. We are furnishing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking to advise other agencies and the public of our intentions and obtain suggestions and information on the scope of issues to include in the environmental review. Public and regulated community responses will be used to improve and make more efficient the permitting process for incidental take of eagles in a manner that is compatible with the preservation of bald and golden eagles.
