On Mar. 19, AGC submitted comments in support of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s proposed update to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), which would clarify that unintended or incidental impacts to migratory birds that occur within the scope of lawful, and often necessary, business activities do not carry criminal penalties and expansive liability exposure. The proposed rule would codify and apply a uniform interpretation of the MBTA that its prohibitions do not apply to incidental take. In addition, the proposal would limit the scope of the Act to actions that are directed at migratory birds, their nests, or their eggs, and would clarify that injury to or mortality of migratory birds that results from, but is not the purpose of, an action (i.e., incidental taking or killing) is not prohibited by the Act.
