Eagles and Eagle Nests; Correction and Technical Amendment (Final)
Oct. 17, 2024
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, correct and amend a final rule that revised the regulations for the issuance of permits for eagle incidental take and eagle nest take. A provision of the regulations in the final rule specifies eligibility criteria for general permits for wind energy projects based on eagle relative abundance and proximity to eagle nests. We have become aware of confusion on the part of some general permit applicants regarding this provision in the regulations. Accordingly, this document revises the regulatory text of the final rule to ensure clarity. In addition, the final rule inadvertently resulted in errors regarding footnotes to a table. This document corrects those errors. For the convenience of the public, we also provide information to access the Service's online mapping tool for general permit eligibility. This rule is effective 17 October 2024. POC is Jerome Ford, Assistant Director--Migratory Birds Program, USFWS, tele: (703) 358-2606, email: jerome_ford@fws.gov.
