| E8-19550 | Migratory Bird Permits; Control of Muscovy Ducks, Revisions to the Waterfowl Permit Exceptions and Waterfowl Sale and Disposal Permits Regulations | Proposed Rule | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, propose changes in the regulations governing control of introduced migratory birds. The muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) occurs naturally only in southern Texas. It has been introduced in other locations, where it is considered an invasive species that sometimes creates problems through competition with native species, damage to property, and transmission of disease. We propose to revise 50 CFR part 21 to prohibit sale of muscovy ducks for hunting, and to allow their removal in locations in which the species does not occur naturally in the contiguous United States, Alaska, and Hawaii, and in U.S. territories and possessions. This will require a revision of Sec. 21.14 (permit exceptions for captive-bred migratory waterfowl other than mallard ducks) and a revision of Sec. 21.25 (waterfowl sale and disposal permits), and the addition of Sec. 21.54, an order to allow control of muscovy ducks, their nests, and eggs. We also have rewritten the affected regulations to make them easier to understand. | 2008-08-22 | 2008 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/08/22/E8-19550/migratory-bird-permits-control-of-muscovy-ducks-revisions-to-the-waterfowl-permit-exceptions-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-08-22/pdf/E8-19550.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, propose changes in the regulations governing control of introduced migratory birds.
