    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has decided to withdraw a proposed rule that was set to introduce new regulations on the biological integrity, diversity, and environmental health (BIDEH) of the National Wildlife Refuge System. This decision was made in response to a significant number of public comments and the complexity of issues raised, indicating that parts of the proposal needed further development and explanation. Public feedback highlighted concerns about administrative burdens and the need for clarity in implementation processes. As a result, the existing BIDEH policy remains effective while future revisions are considered.
