    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule

    Reading Time:about 40 minutes

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing changes to regulations for the American alligator to improve clarity and eliminate unnecessary rules, while still ensuring conservation efforts. The proposed rule aims to remove certain state-based sales conditions for alligator products, like hides, under the Endangered Species Act, which would streamline interstate and international commerce. These changes are in response to a petition from Louisiana and would help eliminate confusion between federal, state, and tribal regulations. Public comments on this proposed rule are invited until March 22, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to change how rules work for selling American alligator parts, like skins, to make things simpler and clearer. They hope this will stop any mix-ups between different rules from the states and countries about buying and selling alligators.
