SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Our Regional Migratory Bird Permit Offices use information that we
collect on permit applications to determine the eligibility of
applicants for permits requested in accordance with the criteria in
various Federal wildlife conservation laws and international treaties,
including:
(1) Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.).
(2) Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.).
(3) Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668).
Service regulations implementing these statutes and treaties are in
chapter I, subchapter B of title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR). These regulations stipulate general and specific requirements
that, when met, allow us to issue permits to authorize activities that
are otherwise prohibited.
All Service permit applications are in the 3-200 series of forms,
each tailored to a specific activity based on the requirements for
specific types of permits. We collect standard identifier information
for all permits. The information that we collect on applications and
reports is the minimum necessary for us to determine if the applicant
meets/continues to meet issuance requirements for the particular
activity.
