Dear Assistant Director Ford: We, the undersigned, appreciate the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) advance notice of proposed rulemaking, “Migratory Bird Permits: Authorizing the Incidental Take of Migratory Birds.”
The FWS should consider the potential impacts of changes in policy and regulations on the ability of the Administration to build the infrastructure of the future. Restrictive and costly permitting policies will only add to already lengthy delays in the federal permitting processes.
