{"abstract":"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (we, us, or USFWS) proposes to approve shot formulated of 62 percent iron, 25 percent tungsten, and 13 percent nickel as nontoxic for waterfowl and coot hunting in the United States. We assessed possible toxicity effects of the Iron- Tungsten-Nickel (ITN) shot, and have determined that it is not a threat to wildlife or their habitats, and that further testing of ITN shot is not necessary. We have concluded that because all of the metals in ITN shot type have been approved in higher concentrations in other nontoxic shot types and in ITN shot are very unlikely to adversely affect fish, wildlife, their habitats, or the human environment, we do not need to prepare an Environmental Assessment for this action. We believe that the toxicity risks from ITN shot are small. This rule also corrects the formulation of Tungsten-Tin-Bismuth shot. We inadvertently left the iron in the formulation out of our August 9, 2004, approval of the shot type (69 FR 48163).","action":"Proposed rule, availability of Draft Environmental Assessment.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","id":197,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fish-and-wildlife-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/197","parent_id":253,"slug":"fish-and-wildlife-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2005/05/06/05-9022.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":20,"title":50}],"citation":"70 FR 23954","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2005-06-06","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Send comments on this proposal by June 6, 2005.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"05-9022","effective_on":null,"end_page":23960,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2005/05/06/05-9022.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/05/06/05-9022/migratory-bird-hunting-approval-of-iron-tungsten-nickel-shot-as-nontoxic-for-hunting-waterfowl-and","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/05-9022?publication_date=2005-05-06","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2005-05-06/05-9022/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":7,"page_views":{"count":63,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 12:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-05-06/pdf/05-9022.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2005-05-06","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2005/05/06/05-9022.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1018-AT87":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["1018-AT87"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T15:59:34Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":23954,"subtype":null,"title":"Migratory Bird Hunting; Approval of Iron-Tungsten-Nickel Shot as Nontoxic for Hunting Waterfowl and Coots","toc_doc":"Iron-tungsten-nickel shot approval as nontoxic for waterfowl and coots hunting","toc_subject":"Migratory bird hunting:","topics":["Exports","Hunting","Imports","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Transportation","Wildlife"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":70}
