    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8715
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    On January 7, 2021, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a final rule concerning the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) which aimed to exclude incidental take of migratory birds from prohibited activities. However, the rule's effective date, initially set for February 8, 2021, has been delayed to March 8, 2021. This decision follows the Congressional Review Act, ongoing litigation, and concerns from the Canadian government. The delay allows for further review and public comment on whether the rule should be amended, further delayed, or rescinded entirely.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made a rule about how we treat certain birds, but they decided to take extra time to think about it and ask people for their ideas. They want to make sure it's the best rule before it starts.

  • 2025-05487 — Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment Request; Applications and Reporting Requirements for the Incidental Take of Marine Mammals by Specified Activities (Other Than Commercial Fishing Operations) Under the Marine Mammal Protection Act

    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is inviting comments on an information collection under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. This rule would permit the incidental, but not intentional, taking of small numbers of marine mammals by U.S. citizens engaged in certain activities. The goal is to evaluate whether the information collection is necessary and to minimize the public's reporting burden. The public can submit comments until May 30, 2025, to help improve the quality and clarity of the information collected.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to know what people think about rules to let certain activities (not fishing) accidentally bother a few sea animals, and they want to make sure filling out the paperwork isn’t too hard, so they’re asking for comments to make it better.
