{"abstract":"The States of Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin have requested that we delegate permitting for falconry to the State, as provided under our regulations. We have reviewed regulations and supporting materials provided by these States, and have concluded that their regulations comply with the Federal regulations. We change the falconry regulations accordingly. We make additional changes to the regulations to remove parts that will no longer be relevant after December 31, 2013, and, in one case, to remove contradictory language, and to correct errors.","action":"Final rule.","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/2013/12/04/2013-28709.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":21,"title":50}],"citation":"78 FR 72830","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This rule is effective January 1, 2014.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FWS-HQ-MB-2013-0110","FF09M21200-134-FXMB1231099BPP0"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2013-28709","effective_on":"2014-01-01","end_page":72833,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2013/12/04/2013-28709.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/04/2013-28709/migratory-bird-permits-delegating-falconry-permitting-authority-to-17-states","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2013-28709?publication_date=2013-12-04","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2013-12-04/2013-28709/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":247,"last_updated":"2026-08-24 06:15:07 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-04/pdf/2013-28709.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013-28709.pdf?1386078852","publication_date":"2013-12-04","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2013/12/04/2013-28709.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1018-BA01":{"issue":"201310","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1018-BA01/migratory-bird-permits-states-delegated-falconry-permitting-authority","title":"Migratory Bird Permits; States Delegated Falconry Permitting Authority","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201310&RIN=1018-BA01&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["1018-BA01"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1018-BA01/migratory-bird-permits-states-delegated-falconry-permitting-authority","title":"Migratory Bird Permits; States Delegated Falconry Permitting Authority"},"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FWS-HQ-MB-2013-0110","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"FWS-HQ-MB-2013-0110","regulation_id_number":"1018-BA01","title":"Delegating Falconry Permitting Authority to 17 States","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2013-12-24T08:11:50Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":72830,"subtype":null,"title":"Migratory Bird Permits; Delegating Falconry Permitting Authority to 17 States","toc_doc":"Delegating Falconry Permitting Authority to 17 States","toc_subject":"Migratory Bird Permits:","topics":["Exports","Hunting","Imports","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Transportation","Wildlife"],"type":"Rule","volume":78}
